Christmas seals will make your packages look more Christmas like and you will feel that way. Only ten days left in which to do your shopping. Don't think we are joking about it. Count them yourself, five days this week and fixe next. Do your shopping this week. , The 1927 license plates will be here this week and automobile owners are urged mt to wait for the big rush next month. The sooner you get your new license the better it is all arounr. You may think you are a good fellow but if you want the community to think so, become a member of the Good Fellow's club by giving a small sum towards the fund for a Merry I Christmas for the poor boys and girls , of the community. ■ On no less authority than that of Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, who has just completed a tour over eight states, the year 1927 is to be a banner one for business. He ad | mits there are weak spots in textile and agricultural centers but says rail- j road earnings are growing and that banks show gains, so the outlook as a whole is favorable. Its just kind of natural to stop your car and give pedestrains a lift along the road, especially children. Thats ( fine when it comes out alright but < this isn’t always true. A New York ' man who picked up three or four youngsters and gave them a ride has! just paid $20,000 damages to the | fattier of the children because <>' juries received wneu the car wa wrecked. Claude G. Bowers, who for several years was editor of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette and went from that post to an editorship on the New York Evening World where he has made good and who has also gained fame by his now popular book ‘ Jefferson 'and Hamilton" is back for a visit and from all reports is enjoying it as much as the folks are enjoying having him. Claude is a real fellow and his friends are proud of him and the recognition given his work. . . Three little boys, aged from seven to thirteen years, led by two older brothers, aged eighteen and twentythree, placed a large quanity of paris green in a well at a school house near Warsaw because they were mad at the trustee. The two older boys are under arrest. The school children who diauk the water were poisoned and several of them are still in a serious copdition. The crime was one of the most serious which has occured in the north part of the state and shows how these imaginary wrongs can result in terrible consequences when talked over to strongly at home. » It seems now that all that talk of tax reduction by President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon was just tor preelection consumption. The republcans on the ways and means committee of the house, acting of course with the knowledge ami approval of the administration have voted to turn down all tax reduction legislation at this session. The surplus on hands which is rsome four or five hundred million dollars will be used Jb reduce the debt which was the idea of the president mouths ago. Its fine to pay the debt oil but the people who are now sufifer-

lug from high taxes will again fall 1 [* understand why it should be paid s rapidly. Well any way, just gel ot ot your head any idea that you ar 'to have auy of the money returned c . are to pay less income tax next yea • •than this. It doesn’t look very prol Sable now. J. Ham Lewis, former senator frot Illinois, famous for his “pink" wills) ’ ers, but more famed because of hi J ability as a lawyer, statesman am i orator, addressed the Eleventh Dis ! trict Bar Association at Huntingtoi I Saturday night and rather Startlet ' those who heard him. He declaret that Europe is boycotting the Unitet States and that there is grave dangei because the American politicians "gabble about a little less taxes and a little more or less to drink while foreign powers sign pledges not tu patronize America.” He declared that

r England has concluded such a treaty , 1 with Russia and Germany, France has joined with Russia; Germany, Japan and Russia have an agreement and , all’the ports of all the great countries . are being closed against us. He declared this country should stop lending money to Europe that they may I spend elsewhere, that we should loan only on good security and with a pledge to trade with this country and that we should send commissions abroad to hear the grievances And adjust them with»one nation at a time. J. Ham may be a crank but his speech contained enough facts that it ought to make every one think and think hard. •!• + + ++ ♦ + + + + ♦*♦♦♦ + + OF RADIO * + BIG FEATURES ♦ ++++♦♦++♦+♦♦♦♦♦+ Tuesday's Five Best Radio Features Oopyright by United Press Central Standard Time WEAF—Hookup (15 stations) 8 I’M.
