An American lecturer has sued H. G. Wells for $50,000 for calling him a “bore.” You see, that way they both get sufficient free publicity that they ■win if they lose. The miners got the worst of It, of cour.se. They lost $150,000,000 in wages and got no increase. It took six months for them to give in but they had to go through the winter on short rations while the operators were smilingly waiting, down in Miami, for them to give up. It’q a hard game to beat. The time limit for securing a 1926 license for yotlr automobile exrl.es today. State policemen will now be looking for those cars with the old tags on and arrests are likely to follow. It will be safer now to keep the bus in the garage until you get the new plates on. Tiie receiver for the Union Traction Company has petitioned for authority to buy $138,000 worth of motor busses fc-nd to operate them in connection with their electric line. This may solve the bus question and prove beneficial to the traction companies and the public. President Conter, of the industrial association, proposes to hold monthly meetings and each member will be notified as to the exact date and urged to attend. That's a splendid start, France, for the best way to keep up interest is to get the men together and set them to work. The senate passed the tax bill, 58 to 9, which doesn't just exactly prove any thing. A lot of the seniors dodged voting and a lot of them voted for it just to advance It a step. The bill now goes to conference where a fight will be made to have several things about It changed. In the meantime, the 15th of March .approaches and so far. no blanks have been sent out by the government and a last minute rush may be expected. Governor Jackson is real mad at Senator Robinson because of the latter's vote against the world court and it is whispered that before he appointed him to the Washington job, he exacted a promise that he would not do such a thing. Republican politics in Indiana is getting so criss-crossed that members of the various factions require signs and countersigns to identify each other. While the people of this community are glad that the ability of the Rev. Otto A. Peters has been recognized and are more than confident that he will succeed as pastor of St. Michael’s church at Summit, Indiana, they will regret his departure. During his five years or more here he has shown great ability and has won a warm place in the hearts of the people. He is an earnest, able and conscientious worker and has a personality that has endeared him to our people. Many folks in this county feel keenly the tragic death of Art Smith, wellknown aviator and a pioneer in sky flying. He has relatives here and hundreds of friends and acquaintances. He was born in this county thirty-two years ago -and all of us have watched his interesting career since that date, some sixteen or eighteen years ago, when he attempted a flight in his own hand-made plane. He failed in that

Just now the in--1 dustrial association is seeking plans for a program of activities which it is hoped will bring real results and the council are planning for those things which will do likewise. Why not work together? One of the things the coun'cil hopes to do during the year is to bring about a reduction of the power ami light rates, a fine ideal and the , goou part of it is that the city is now or soon will be In a position to do that in a business way.

Scores of fans were unable to obtain seats for the game. It was rumored this afternoon that ticket scalpers were at work and weer making huge profits on the cardboards. Prices ranging up as high as $2.50 are said to have been paid for the tickets. Father J. A. Seimctz issued a statement that the price of the tickets is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children and no more should be paid for them. He asked that the names of persons asking exhorbitant prices for the tickets be reported to him at once. About 150 tickets were sent to Fort Wayne and representatives of the Central Catholic school were in Decatur last night seeking more.
