Rising temperature this evening and tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Weatherman. The past week has been about the hardest, coldest winter since last spring, bets hope the violets will come early and remain. The Berne basketball team won the county championship and will represent this section in the regional contest at Fort Wayne next week-end. The Fighting Five is a real basketball team and have earned the right to represent this territory, having not only won the tournament but having won every game played this year. They will no doubt make an excellent showing in the race for the state honors. Fort Wayne had another $50,000 fire last night which destroyed the Olds coal plant. The cause is unknown, perhaps defective wiring. So it goes. Each day we read of disastrous fires and usually they are due to carelessness. Perhaps if we look around a little we may find something wrong that can be easily righted and save a lot of money, perhaps a life. A lot of fans who play basketball from the grandstand about as hard *as the players and who do not realize how tired they are until after they relax, are relieved that the tournament is over. Its a strenuous sport for every one who engages i it, either as participants or patrons, but its a provider of more amusement than anything wc know 'of in this country. Six business men have told us they are sorry the gift days have been abandoned, twic e that many farmers and citizens have said the 1 ante thing to us, while two business men have tidd us they were glad of it. We have no objections to the change if the association sponsoring the events will continue to be alive and will do * something else to let the people know this Is the best place on earth Vo trade. Seems to us they ought to continue to do that. M In this mornings mail came a postal card on which was one of those ‘ foot labels” used so liberally in 1912 when we were advertising Old Home Week and which carried the words. ‘ Making tracks for the old home week at

Decatur, Indiana, Oct. 15-19th, 1912 — the best ever.” And down below at i on e corner is written “Why not?" In 1 reply we may say, we don’t just exactly know, except that its a big j undertaking and thert^seems to be some doubt that sufficient funds can be raised to assure such a wonderful event as was the one thus recalled. However the matter Is, undorstand, to be discussed fully at the meeting of the Industrial Association which is to be held some time this week. For two years the lads in the Indiana Boys School at Plainfield have been working to raise a fund with which to donate a set of chimes to the school, an excellent cause for the chimes will bring joy and peace to the hearts of the youngsters striving there to be good citizens and the fact that they have really"done a worthwhile tiling will go a long ways towards helping them to be high grade men after a while. In an appeal sent out they ask for donations to bo sent to Col. James L. Glasscock. Plainheld, Indiana. These gifts may be

t , Aren't people funny. William R Nelson, years ago editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, went out to Kansas j City where he started the Star and 1 made millions. He built a palatial 1 home at a cost of half a million dollars. one of the show places of that . great city. Then he died and the t property went to a daughter, Laura > Kelson Kirkwood who died a few . days ago. Her will provides that the old home can be used by her husband t while he lives but at his death must j be destroyed as she doesn’t want the place desecrated by any one else living there. How much more sensible ) it would have been to have given it > to some worthy cause, a home for - orphan children, for old people, for > a community club, for any of a - hundred things that would benefit the ’ world ? Brisbane writing about the recent • Wall street flurry in which many • fortunes were lost, says it this way: “Wild time in Wall street. Frightened gamblers threw overboard one 1 million shares in yesterdays’ ‘first 1 hour.’ The day’s proceedings, 3,7£3,- : 000 shares broke ‘all records for all ' time.’ There are many sheep among ' humans. One, frightened, jumps over '■ the precipice, others The big ' men go to the foot of the hill, nick ’ up the remains, and that js 'the 1 profit.' The excuse for the panic, which won't last, is the interstate commerce commission's veto of the 'Nickel Plate’ consolidation of rail- ' roads. Consolidation would be a good ’ thing, properly planned, and is ac- ’ tually recommended by the commission, which rejects the plan submitted. Later, probably, the consolidation will go through. Then prices 5 will climb up and the little lamb with ’ the broken back will ask himself, “Why did I jump?” He jumped, be--1 cause he was gambling, not Invest--3 Ing. Gamblers are nervous.” o .

% For the First Time S SOO Buys a Closed Car [1 e If you plan to spend over SSOO F. O. B. Factory for an > automobile, you can get the year-round comfort and s convenience of a Ford closed car. ,t The price advantage which the public enjoys in purchast ,ing Ford cars is the result of volume production. In 1920. when the Ford Motor Company was producing approximately only a million cars a year, the Ford Touring Car sold for $575. Today, with production on the basis of nearly two million cars a year, the Tudor Sedan, a i. high quality all-steel closed car, can be purchased for ;r $520 —$55 less than the Touring Car sold for six years ago. Open car prices are correspondingly low. \ ' t ? While this program of price reduction has been carried on, important refinements and improvements have been , made in Ford cars. The latest improvements include tn new and attractive body lines —a lower center of gravity, closed cars in color, all-steel bodies, new brakes and new 11 style fenders. However, the basic features of Ford design have not been changed. Three point motor suspension, planetary ,n - transmission, dual ignition system, torque tube drive, multiple disc-in-oil clutch, splash lubrication, thermosyphon cooling system—outstanding features of automobile design—have al! been retained, regardless of cost. 11 L 1 u, FORD- MOTOR COMPANY, Detroit TOURING NEW RUNABOUT $ 3lO PRICES $ 290 TUDOR SEDAN COUPE FORDOR SEDAN 5 520 s SOO 5 565 Closed Car prices include starter and demountable rims v All prices f. o. b.
