Well it we Set through the next month they can take their time to settle the anthracite coal strike. i » it cost the government $220,000 to revise the speeches of congressmen for the record last year and it doesn't require a referendum to decide that it wasn't worth it. This is the season of the year when the editors meet and resolute and hear the call and get their "pep" up and mingle with the politicians and so forth and so forth. When Samuel In.ull gets all those high powered lines strung across Indiana it will be easy to place the blame for static conditions in radio reception. The annual meeting of the Industrial Association next Monday evening is of vital importance to those who believe in their community and want to help make it better from year to year. Don’t overlook it. There is certainly nothing very unusual about the present cold snap. The government bureau at Fort Wayne shows the temperature practicably the same as last year. It was four below a year ago and three below today, officially. An Indianapolis man reports having seen a red bird, a robin and a wien in his yard. Perhaps he is one of those five hundred customers ] whose names were found on the boot- . logger when he was captured the other day and if so, the wonder is that he didn't see an ostrich or two. I Colonel Mitchell will probably not | cay anything more about the management of the air department of the ! government until his resignation is j accepted but he will make up for any apparent delay in firing his broadsides now. He knows and he is not afraid to tell what he feels, will benefit his country. We are informed that stove agents , are again canvassing this county and by the use of that persuasive power v.hich some salesmen have are doing business. You should ak least take the time and forethought to consult , your local hardware man, compare values and prices and remember that , when you trade at homo you have one great advantage, a substantial guarantee from a man you know. < Stanley Harris is a young man who ( has made good.

There ought to be some way uow to punish those who brought the charges against these men and thus interferred with their services to the state. It Is not a question of whether its good politics or not to cuter the World Court and take part in the great problems of the world which must be settled from time to time, but rather whether we cun longer remain out, whether they will let us in ami how foolishly we have acted during the past seven years. We could bo the leaders of the world now instead of standing outside pouting and waiting to be coaxed to come in.

The application |of electricity to the poultry industry .has been rapid and now the Decatur i hatchery has installed three 1.500 egg size Petersime Mammoth Electric incubators, which ure heated by electricity. The three incubators will hatch several thousand chicks twice each week. These incubators use electric heating elements to provide the heat which is needed to hatch the ejgs. The hatching of an egg requires a certain number of heat units and the incubator which provides this last most uniformly hatches the strongest chicks. Thermostats which automatically open at a certain temperature and close when the temperature drops a quarter of a degree, control the 'flow of current through the heat elements. When th<Sr dose a pilot lamp burns and the current flows through the elements causing the temperature torise. When the temperature rises to the highest point desired the opening of the thermostatic contacts puts out tlie polit light and shuts off the current. Ties process Is repeated continually and the temperature is maintained in tlie cabinet at a point within a quarter of a degree. Electricity has also been found to lie ideal for blooding little chicks and tlie Decatur Hatchery is going to carry a line of the Smith Brothers Electric
