Mrs. Coolidge is cleaning house and while her job is not so difficult perhaps in some ways as that of the, average housewife, she is having much trouble in planning just what shall be done and how. So it seems we never get clear away from it. The prohibition investigation will close with today's session it has been annouuqed by the committee which is perhaps just as well. We don’t see where they are gaining one way or the other, except for whatever publicity the discussions have drawn and that has surely been sufficient. The senate is dry and numerous members have announced that they will pay no attention to the report. So thats about all that is to be said about it. The warm rains of the past day or two have brought hope to those who feared the late season would prove disastrous. Reports indicate that while the season is about a month late, indications for excellent crops are better than average. The wheat in Indiana looks better than usual at this time of year, oats is just being planted and corn is not in the ground yet, while the outlook for fruit is splendid. So there's so far nothing "to'worry about on the crop score. Do you pay any attention to the. School zone signs when you are niotor- • iug. You should for it is alarming to . learn that during last year over 5,500; school children were killed by auto mobiles. The Kiwanis club at Portland is receiving just praise for inauguration of traffic officers among the older boys of the various schools ‘ there. These lads wear badges andact as traffic cops while the children are going and returning from School. Any plan which adds to the protection of the school lads and lassies is a good thing. A Chicago lawyer deciding to go crooked worked out an entirely new method. Each evening he listened in on the radio and took down addresses Yif prominent people ami their plans.. Then lie would go to those homes, which he knew were not occupied byt the owners for tlie evening and help himself to wliatever was lose. During the few months he worked he got away with a half million dollars worth of property tout he got caught and his not gain was the usual amount —nix. We have heard of one or two objections to the plans for converting the old cemetery into a park but we believe that any objection can be met. if there are those who feel that the bodies of relatives should be moved, we ar e sure that the expenses of such work could be easily met by those who desire the improvement. A park made attractive with flowers and shrubs would surely be better than the present grounds which cannot be beautified except as planned, it has been nearly, if not quite, a third of a century since any bodies have been interred there and it is surly time that some action is taken to make that part of the city attractive. ■ 'i ■ ~ r i~ 7 |T - 1 -* ' * F - Various organizations are working for a state income tax law and claim that a majority of the candidates who have replied to questionaires have announced in favor of such a law-.

seen the bill proposed. If we are to do away with all other taxes and raise the funds necessary to operate the various branches of state govern'ment by that means alone, it may be alright, but wg. cannot do that, as we understand it under the present constitution. To make it just an additional tax is dangerous for it keeps from the state investments of corporations and it adds another tax which by future legislatures can b e handled as they see fit. Even though the minimum were fixed at a large figure when the bill is uassed, there is nothing to prevent a future session changing that minimum to include every one. its a dangerous thing to “monkey” with. It would be not only a difficult job but an impossible one to publish a newspaper which pleased every one all the time. There are those who do not care for basketball, baseball and other sports but think of the many who do, there are those who do notj care for the stock markets and news I from the farm but there are hundreds who look for that first, there are those who are not interested in society news and personals but there are many who are and so on through all the columns of a newspaper. The editors can only use their judgment •as to what is the news that their subsubscribers desire, can only gather that news from what happens and can only feature those things which they feel will prove most popular and thats what they try to do. You can assist in making a newspaper, better by .lending in news or tips, giving your ideas of what news is most desired and by writing your opinions on public questions.

Vust fay TO A LITTLE GIRL
Little girl, just huif-past three, Take this little rhyme from me. All the joy that gold can bring. All the songs the birds can sing. Ail this world can hold to give Grown-up men the while they live Hath not half the charm for you And the lovely things you do. Little girl, just half-past three. When God sent you down to me Oft 1 wonder, did He know Fortune’s power ’woul ddwindle so? Did He know that I should find Such a curious change of mind. And should some day come to see Just how trivial pomp can be?

Thomas, of Ohio penitentiary, has applied to the prevalent type of young thug, stick-up man, or "cake-eater murderer." "These days it’s different," declares the Warden, who is one of the “oldtiinefc” iu prison work. "The first thing these young fellows do is to get , a gun. They intend to use it. Ttrey don’t depend on their skill or their wits or their physical strength—not i these little hair-polished rats.” This new type of criminal is pre dominant at all of the prisons iuj America, Warden Thomas believes. Hardness and lack of sympathy of. , these “dude killers" is almost unbe- ' lievable, according to the Ohio warden. . “They are an .engima to prison offi-, . cials and older criminals alike," he, I says. “The old-time safe blower or burg-' - lar,” explains the warden, "took the ( greatest pains not to have a dangerous weapon on his person. He didn’t want to kill. He didn’t have a gpin or even ) a large knife. He wanted to be to prove to the police, if he was caught - that he had not intended to kHI." This new type of young criminal, . however, is described by Warden Thomas, as “young men who have fast . their 'feelers,' and as being “without t mercy pity, and sympathy; without lov M or any of . other at " tri'ftmc from emvtiuu." is not of bandits learned soldiers hi the late waß>3sOp*tlsertt»tp,ry' he finds, that “sJxMdansua^t^eu' who entered prisifcl'wh ' .

Little girl, just half-past three, Lost are drefuns that used to be, Now the -things I thought worth while Could not buy your lovely smile. And I would not give you up For the golden plate and cup And the crown a king may boast, lu my life you're uppermost. Little girl, just half-past three. This is what you mean to me. More than all that money buys, ’ More than any selfish prize, More than fortune, more than fame, And 1 learned this when you came. Other fathers know it, too. Nothing matters more than you.
on between the ages of 15 and 19 years weren't soldiers during the war;' they didn't learn banditry, stealing and killing over in France.” Asked the direct question: “What is the matter with most of them?" Warden Thomas replied that very few> of them ever had any home life whatsoever. "They're damned young,” is another succint reason given by thewarden for the waywardness of these “hair-polished rats.” y - "O— FiOtUikdry Convention Meets At French Lick French tLick Springs, Ind..
