Indiana is a real basketball state, perhaps the greatest of them all in this winter sport. Every school, big and little, every college and every academy has its team and they are real teams too. Now to make it good, Indiana and Purdue Universities ; are a tie for first place in the Big Ten conference. By agreement of both sides in a sensational murder trial in Philadelphia women jurors will be barret}. The accused butchered his lady friend after becoming tired of her and scattered her remains about the country. Lardy jurors would be an inconvenience to the defense no doubt, and probably opposed to capital punishment. Hence both sides are happy. But it isn't treating the' ladies right.—Fort Wayne Journal! Gazette. A delegation from this city will go, to Fort Wayne Saturday to root for! Berne in the regional basketball con-' test and that's the proper spirit. The, Fighting Five won the honor of repre-, senting this county, won it fairly and, decisively and they will make any* team at the regional step some. We believe they will win it aud that they will show the teams at the state meeting real form. Step on it boys and make it snappy. Surprising as it may be, Albert H. Vestal wants to return to congress. He has been there a long time and likes it and has filed his intentions to hgain be a candidate. Its a snap for Albert and he know's it and he don't propose to give it up until he has to. ; Sonic day the voters of the Eighth , district will get on to his curves and retire him for some one who can show greater speed. That time depends largely on the aggressiveness of his opponent. We hate to break the news to you girls, young and old, but it has been definitely decided and announced as a fact that women who bobbed their hair seven years ago, have fifty per cent less hair now than then, in another seven years bald women will appear. Experts claim it is due to the tight hats now in vogue which prevent the circulation of air on top cf the head. Os course its none of our business but this little warning is given so after while we can say “we told you so.’’ ' Though the World War has been over eight years, the appropriations Hn congress this year will still show are for war purposes, past, present and future. Startling as that fact is, the figures can easily be checked and found correct. How foolish it is. Think of the good that could be accomplished if we didn't have to provide for war. What would happen if the same amount of money could be used to restore values to the farm, to business generally, to waterway improvements, to building roads, to aiding schools and colleges or for many causes which are constructive rather than destructive. The federal, state and local taxes in Indiana last year totaled $245,321,885.44 and since there are 737,707 families in the state the average cost per family was $332.55 and basing that oh five to the family the cost to every man, woman aud child in the state was $66.51. These figures are not guesses, startling as they may

Proponents Os Inland Water Way Encouraged 1 Chicago, Mar. 10. —(United Prpss.) - —Proponents of the inland water way system and administration candidates for re-election alike were encouraged today by the address delivered here last night by Herbert Hoover, secre- i tary of Commerce. I Coming from Washington to ad- , dress the 32nd- annual banquet of the John Vericoson Republican leagne of . Illinois, Hoover was looked upon as , an administration spokesman. His , words were considered an expression , of administration' views on middlewestern issues. . When Hoover urged immediate de- . velopment of the two great inland water way systems of th e nation —the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes — the waterways sympathizers felt their causa had been advanced. . And when he pointed out that President Coolidge supports an appropriation of $20,000,000 next year for the Mississippi waterway as one of the best ways to assist the farmer in marketing his crops, administration republicans believed their candi- 1 dacies had been given official endorsement before the voters. — Relative Proportion Os Divorce Causes Shown To Be Same As 30 Years Ago Now Haven, Conn., March- 10 — (United Press! —There are no new causes of divorces, the speeding up of modern life merely causing an increasing number of married couples to crack under the strain and seek to be freed, analysis of the divorce figures for New Haven over a period of some years, made by the Yale Divinity School, reveals.

cants for divorces are women and this percentage has been maintained steadily for 30 years, in spite of the steadily mounting number of divoredh. About seventy-five percent of all suits were brought on the ground of desertiin; ten percent on charges of intolerable cruelty; ten percent bn the grounds of infidelity and more than five percent on the grounds of drunkenness. These charges have .maintained about the same ratio for many years in spite of prohibition, the new freedom of women and the radio. The only thing that the records show is that, more people desert, more are cruel, more untrue to their vows and more drink. The records show that the average divorce case is the result of years of dissatisfaction and it is believed that the modern tendency to face the truth a little more frankly leads to many couples seeking divorces now, who formally would never have hought of it because of the alleged “disgrace.” — Congress One Hundred Years Ago Senate Executive session.

Adams, of this city, who is a missionary to China, was published in the Fortville, Indiana, Tribune, recently. Miss Adams is located at the Metho diet Mission in Peking. Miss Esther Sellemeyer, of this city, is a missionary in China, also, being a representative of the Reformed church. Miss Adams’ letter is as follows: Methodist Mission Peking. China Dec. 28,1925. Dear Friends: For almost three weeks w ( . have been absolutely shut off from the outside world. Os course we have in that time had no mail. But now mail is coming in at such a rate that wc wonder how we are ever going to get it answered. So I am resorting to the printed letter, for there is so much that 1 want to tell my friends about the wotk and China. First of all I want to tell you how very much I gm enjoying my new liome and work. Os course 1 am not luiving much actual work since I am busy at Language school every day from eight-thirty until four in the afternoon. But as 1 wrote you in my September letter I am trying to keep out all 1 can here and there when not in s< honl. 1 have a lovely Bible class of Government school girls every Monday evening. We have been very slow in doing any thing for these student-. Outside of the Bible classes we have with them, they have no Christian touch. You have been reading these days a great deal about the anti-Christian movement. Well it is from these students who do not understand Christianity, and because it has been brought by foreigners, tiiey get the whole thing mixdd up with the unequal treaties, the unscrupulous foreign business man and all the other evils which the foreigners have brought to their country. So yon see qll the more the need for actual Christian work among these students who are at heart just as fine as those students in our own schools. Do you wonder that 1 am so happy at the prospect of doing work among these young folks? It is worth al! the work of changing the dialect 1 have been using for eight years. During the Christmas season I had part or full responsibility for seven Christmas programs. Yon see the language school had a vacation and it gave me a chance to help those who are so very busy. Two of these programs were at our student center. (Government Student Center). Out there we have a fine Chinese pastor just returned last fail fri'in three years study in study in America. This one evening we had all the students in the Bible classes come together with all the teachers for a social evening. This was only a few days before the proposed distrnetion of Christian property by the anti-Chris-tian students. But if you could have seen the quiet and interesting way those students went through the Christmas program given by stereopticon, hymn and scripture, you would have never have believed there

I could be any anti-Christian movement. I in spite of the threats we went 1 right ahead with our programs. Out [ side of the fact that the gates were ; carefully guarded by Chinese soldiers ; you would never have thought of any 1 trouble. The Government here in [ Peking took sueh stringent care that ' the students who would have done i harm, did not dare do anything, it' [ is most interesting that this was done ' by the Chinese and not by our foreign ; ' powers. tine of the most interesting pro- 1 grams I had for the American Marines last night. I feel that this was really worth while in missionary l work. The Y. M. C. A. has lovely rooms where the boys can come, it is the only place they have to go that is any thing like home Every Sunday night they have some sort of re-; ligious service for the boys. And I was asked to put on my stereopticon story of Christmas. This is a beautiful service in correlation with Christmas hymns and scripture. At the close when boy after boy came in such an appreciative way and thank us for the program in such away that 1 felt it was most worth while. One boy came over this statement three times, “It was just like going home." There are some really fine lads among the lot. but it is a hard life aud we are often ashamed of the way they act. So any service we can do for them is real missionary work. I How I wish I could really give you an adequate report on China. 1 almost hesitate to tell anything of the political conditions for it may be before I get home from the printers that it will all have changed. But I will tell you what is true now. It looks as though Feng Yu Hsiang, the Christian General was about to gel his hand on most anything. He has routed the Chang Tso Ling party from North China. As I said that this is the way the thing stands now. If . this stands then there is some hope for China. But the main thing I want to tell you about is some of the fruits of iiis work In training a Christian army. Both sides have lost —oh, so heavily. I just came in from Feng's camp outside the city where there are 2,000 wounded soldiers. Then every hos- , ‘pital in the city is full. Here are some of the facts. Every wounded man is gotten into the hospital within twenty-four hours after he is wounded. Every man killed has been ■ buried properly. This has never
