Most of us are thankful that the bushel or two or coal left over from the heavy firing the past winter will last the spring season out, if it does. Anderson has a boom. Some rich fellows are building a 5300,000 apartment house there, a sure sign that the city is becoming a metropolis. France has a popular law; that is, its popular for everyone but the bachelor. None of the unmarried males can have an income of over $20,000. The balance must go to the government and if he gets over sao,000 they take it all. Register another line day as against prediction that we were not to have any tiling hut snow, sleet, rain and had weather. And we are reliably informed that we are to have a lot of todays brand. The county lias turned the old cemetery over to the city and it will be converted into a park and beautified within a year, completing one of the finest improvements ever made in the city, it should be done in the proper way and we feel sure, will he. While it may not seem that much is being done towards mprovement of Limherkist Trail, three strips of road ar o .now being built or planned, one here, one at Fort Wayne and another at Kendallville, while all along the line the grounds are being made attractive for the thousands of tourists who will soon travel the route. Gee gosh, they have finally found the "goats" for the 320 cases ot' oldfashioned liquor which disappeared from the state house some months ago. They are three negroes who say they did the work for a white man but they refuse to say who lie was. Now- thuts too bad for tliats the fellow every body wants to hear about. Wonder who it could have been? Now since they have found three men wiio confess they assisted in stealing the Remus liquor, from the state house, we wonder how Lenous Meredith, the United States marshall who vigorously denied that any had been taken, will explain that statement. And the negroes declare they took a lot more than 300 cases. That* what makes people lose faith in these supposed official statements. Claris Adams has been “spanked for attempting to defy Jim Watson and has also been notified that he need not appiy for any tiling in the future for causing the trouble he has and telling’ the inside truths about conditions. The senior senator didn't like it because it hurt and it hurt because V-hat Adams said was the unvarnished truth. The members of the democratic and republican central committees will meet, tomorrow to organize, an important job Tor upon those officers selected, rests the responsibility of conducting a successful campaign. They cannot do it atone but will need the assistance of those who feel an interest ill the affairs of government for only by this means do we have a voice. In Allen county only about onefourth the vote was cast in Tuesday’s primary and similar reports come from many sections of the state. In this county, the democratic vote was

(fairly good hut the republican vote was exceedingly light, although they had the opportunity to vote in contesla for two United States senators. We doubt if primaries register the r. will of the people always hut thats * the present system of selecting our officials and we can t see why the people don’t use it. |, The Better Homes Exposition will open one week from Monday and 1 your ussistiug in boosting it so it will he the biggest evetft of Its kind ever held in this part of the country. Flans at u—being completed rapidly now and every thing will be set when the date arrives. A muster tent will he erected on Liberty Way and the exhibits there will surprise you. The program for the week will include a lot of numbers sure to interest you. There will he no admission charge uiul you are going to have a fine time. Tell your neighbors about it and plijn to start in attending the first night and then to go every afternoon and evening. With four candidates for the United States senatorship practically even, the contest for the long term nomination on the democratic side will go to the convention. There is considerable talk of a “dark horse’’ now capturing tile plum hut we feel that it should go to one of the men who made the campaign and We believe after the delegates think it all over they will agree upon the strongest man, the one who will offer the best leadership and who will prove the strongest contender in the November election. In our humble opinion still, that man is John E. Fredricks of Kokomo, although the other men are (splendidly qualified and able. o-, • Big Features Os * • RADIO * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦A SATURDAY’S TEN BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1926 by United Press) Central standard time throughout WBBR.

"Not Chris QuinHonl" “Sh!• he commanded softly. “There’s no use tipping our hand off to him. Yes; it’a crooked Chris Quinaion. You don’t know him, do you?” He had never seen her eyes look aa they looked now. They were as hard »nd bright as steel; no true woman's ryes, ho thought swiftly. Rather tRe eyes of a man with murder in his ben rt. "Then, thank God!” whispered Judith, her voice tense. “Can you keep a secret with me, Bud Lee? Were it not fur the mun calling to us now, > Cuke Sanford would he here in our stead. Crooked Chris Quinnion served his time in Kan Quentin because my futher sent him there. And he had not been free six months before h» kept Ills oath and murdered my poor old dad!’’ “Well?" came the Interrupting snarl of Quinnion’s voice, like the ominous whine of an enraged animal. “What's the word?" “Give us five minutes to think It over,” returned Lee coolly. Anffi ln- . credulous eyes on Judith s set face, he said gently: “I was on the ranch when the accident happened. He must have driven that heavy car a little too close to the edge of the grade. The bank just naturally gave way.” Judith, her lips tightly compressed, shook her head. •You didn’t find him under the car, did you? And the blow that killed him might have been dealt with some heavy weapon In the hands of a man standing behind him. mightn’t It? I know, Bud Lee, I know !” "How do you know?” he demanded insistently. “You weren't here even.” "No. I was in San Francisco. But the day before I had a letter from father. He expected me home very soon. He was going out, he said in his letter, to look at the road over the mountain. He wrote that the grade was dangerous, especially at the_very place where

Oh, 1 know!” she cried again, her hands hard upon her rifle. “I know, I tell you! From the first I suspected. I knew that Chris* Quinnlon had threatened a dozen times to ‘get’ father. I knew that soon or late he would try. I wrote Kmniet Sawyer, our county sheriff, and told him what I believed, asked him to go to the spot and see what the signs told. A square man is Emmet Sawyer and as sharp as tacks.” “And he told you that you were mistaken r “lie did nothing of the kind! list reported that the tracks of the cur showed that it had kept well away from the bunk, that evidently It had stopped there, that again it had gone on, swerving so as to run close to the edge! I know what happened: Father got out to look at the dangerous spot and to put up the sign he had brought with him and that was found In the road. Chris Quinnion had followed him, perhaps to shoot him down from behind, Chris Qulnnion's wny! Then na saw a safer way. He came up behind poor old dad and struck him on the head with something, rifle-barrel or revolver. He started the car up and let It run over the bank. He—” She broke off then. Bud Lee felt that he knew whst she would sa.v If she could bring herself to go on; that she would tell how crooked Chris Quinnion had thrown the unconscious man down over the hank to lie, bruised and broken, by the wrecked car. '’You’ve got to be almighty sure before you make a charge like that,” h« reminded her. "If Quinnion had done It, wliy didn't Emmet Sawyer get the Ueadwood on him?” “Because,” she whispered quickly, “a man fooled Sawyer! Yes, and fooled me! Quinnion established an alibi. A man whose word there was no reason to doubt said that Quinnion was with him at the time of the murder. And that man was —Bayne Trevors!” “Trevors?” muttered Lee. He shook Ills head. “Trevors is a hard man, Judith. And lie’s a scoundrel, if you want to know! Hut frame up n murder deal—plan to murder Luke Sanford—No. I don’t believe it!” “Is he the man to miss a chance that lay at his hand? Ths main chance for him? Tha clinnce to hold a man like Chris Quinnion in the hollow of his hand, to make him do his bidding, lo set him Just such work ns he is doing now? Answer me!

Bring her to Sunday school and let her grow as beautiful in charMothers Look for the Quaker’s picture when buying oats. That means richer flavor X*T WHEN children say they don’t like oats, it's usually because rich Quaker flavor is missing. Children who ordinarily don t take to oats are often quickly won to this important food, simply by them "Quaker.” The flavor is uniquely different; toasty, rich and creamy, Quaker Oats alone has it. Some 50 year* were spent in perfecting it. Quaker milling, too, retains much of the "bulk” of oats. And tliat makes laxatives less often needed. Thus protein, carbohydrates and vitamines and “bulk” combine in making Quaker Oats an excellently balanced ration. Get Quick Quaker (cooks in 3 to S minutes) or Quaker Oat* today at your grocer.
