Alcoholism killed 147 in staid old Boston, the past year. Surest proof they should have continued the habit of drinking tea. Taxes will be lower in Adams county in 1927 than for eight years. Good news for most everybody at this New Year season. “Florida couple drinks strange liquid," says a newspaper headline. Gee whiz, you don’t have to go way down there where the hotel rates are twenty-five dollars a day to find that. Get ready to turn over the new leaf. Tomorrow is the last day of the old year and history for 1926 will soon be written. We hope 1927 will be in every way the happiest and best for all of you and lets all strive to make it that. This Mexican lad, Pedro Cortez, seems determined to break into an Indiana prison and there are strong indications that 'he will succeed. I Those who fool around with loaded I revolvers and other men’s wives are I almost sure to get into serious difficulties. The state health commission has ordered that all dogs in the state must wear muzzles if allowed on the streets, it may seem a little tough but the officials say it is necessary because of the continued epidemic of rabies. The police will be notified to enforce the order. Floods which are causing numerous deaths and great loss of property continue in the south and only a freeze which will slow up the flow of water from the hills into the Cumberland Valley will check it. The Red Cross will enter the New Year with the big task on hands of caring for thousands of sufferers in the Nashville region. Fort Wayne closes the year with more than 1,200 arrests for public intoxications and the police probably overlooked some who could have been “pinched.” Publicity agents of that city announce at the same timu this report is giver, out that Fort Wayne is strictly complying with the Volstead law. Some how this doesn’t seem to harmonize.

Chariots Brandon Booth, noted in many countries for his masterful talks will lecture in this city next Monday evening and you should not fall to hear him. His subject, "The Child That No One Understands," should appeal to most people for there are so many children of that kind. Perhaps we don’t know just how to understand them. Mr. Booth will tell us about it. A bill has been prepared to tax adjacent property owners for construction costs of state highway, similar! to the law In Ohio. It is quite prob-' able that some means will be found ■ whereby the state can secure right-of-ways without resorting to condemnation proceedings, but the trouble with it is that It will be expensive to the property owners and will likely | effect those for several miles back from the roads.

DUTY ’ " ** — " _ ’ Duty’s not a pleasant thing. Saves him from the idler’s curse, Seldom does it dance or sing, Gives him power and fills his purse. Jest or dreum the hours away, Pleasanter, by tar, is play Duty makes his muscles strong, ‘ But when all is said and done, , ... . . ... . .. .. > Duty is the friendlier one. Uftß high above the thronß ’ L Hus a thousand tongues to tell 1 Dudy frowns but seldom lifts, Praise of him who labors well, 1 Duty never shows its gifts, Pleasure makes a fairer show, 1 Yet the willing boy who stands, Duty pays him better, though. I Doing all that it commands. I I Finds that he has come to know Do your duty, boy, and stick! Joys which pleasure can’t bestow. Hold your post through thin ami thick Hard it seems, but never mind, Duty brings a boy to fame, Do the task to you assigned, Gives to him an honored name; Duty pays those dividends: Duty holds his head erect. Health and wealth, and pride and Guarantees his self-respect, friends. (Copyright 1925 Edgar A. Guest

Williams, director of the state high- ( way commission, we are led to be- ’ lieve that the propaganda will not prove very popular in Indiana. Efforts ■ to make the commission a political agency have been made for several years now but without complete success. The legislature should make no mistakes along this line in the coming session. It is estimated by the legislative statisticians that 4.000 bills affecting automobiles will be introduced in the forty-four legislatures that meet this winter, and it is estimated by skeptical laymen that if all or any of them become laws the traffic situation, the bandit situation and the whose-turn-is-it-to-have - the - family - car situation will not be materially changed. Most, . if not all, of the states are burdened with automobile laws. In many cases they are conflicting, and in still more they are futile. The fact is that notwithstanding more than thirty years of steadily increasing use, until there is now one car for every five people I in the country, the automobile is still : a novelty, and as a novelty, seizes i people's imaginations and sometimes i runs away with them. Undoubtedly automobile management, traffic and 1 other, is improving, and will continue to improve, but it is such a complex < and unprecedented problem that it can only improve slowly. Custom will have a strong influence, and custom forms slowly and changes slowly. Probably the best the laws can do is to follow the most commendable part of it as best they may, and hope for i .if iniie will'll tllv aUtulUuinie vC.lC’uc regarded more as an invaluable adjunct to life than as an exciting toy. —lndianapolis News. _o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ * ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ December 30th 1906 was Sunday. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦ Friday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright by United Press Central Standard Time

“Ben-Hur” Engagement At Fort Wayne Extended •’Hen-Hur" showing at the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne has proved to be more the sensation than the stage play by the same name which was seen in Fort Wayne a number of years ago. On account of the tremendous . demand, the management announces that the engagement has been extend- . ed for one day which will terminate on Sunday with a matinee and evening performance. Two additional showing i of this remarkuble picture will enable hundreds of out-of-town theatre pat-j runs to witness “Bea-Hur" on Sunday afternoon and evening. The Matinee! performance starts at 2:30 and at! 8:15 at night. The management also wishes to advise the theatre patrons of this vicinity that there is no truth in the report that all,seats have been sold and patrons desirous of seeing "Ben-Hur" can come to Fort Wayne at any time this week and be able to secure good seats owing to the large seating capacity of the Shrine Auditorium.
