Personal liberty is a fine thing in history, but the modern youth who gets too full of ft these days is likely to wake up in a hospital, if at all. i Some "bug" is syndicating a scries of articles on “Why I am not married" which is probably not nearly so exciting as a story by Kid McCoy would be on "Why I married seven times." A Huntington man who has tried for years to get bis wife to return to 1 him has finally sued for a divorce. Well, he probably waited long enough, i Most of us would have got out of ’humor long before that. i There’s not- much use for the farmers to expect favorable legislation in congress this year. Why should you? There is no election this year and consequently its unnecessary to provide any laws over which the spell binders may rant. And now just when we are beginning to catch our after Christmas breath, along comes those big govern-. nfSnt envelopes with the income tax report blanks and it takes strong determination to keep the New Year J days vows — never to take another drink of varnish. According to the annual report of the city officials the city is in a very splendid financial condition not- , withstanding the extensive and expensive ininroveinen's ’carle the ytaff-' ■"mrg- > 'arr.i..t>- the administration and hope they will keep the good work up and they will. One policeman in the city of Washington made 3,842 arrests during the [ year 1926 and only thirteen of that number escaped without a fine. He’s I a valuable man for the district as his work alone brought thousands of dol- [ lars into the treasury and he paid , his own salary half dozen times over. We are a peculiar bunch of people' in this country. Just a few years, ago under President Harding a lot of nations signed agreements to destroy their warships and this country keeping the faith did blow up several million dollars worth. Now congress is having a big time appropriating funds with which to build more. Os course the ship yards just have to be kept going or some of the millionaire owners would lose out. We are making special arrangements for covering the legislature during the session which opened today. A force of United Press writers will furnish us the daily wire, keeping our readers posted and in addition we have secured the services of Mr. Walter A. Shear!, a newspaper man of experience who will furnish us a daily letter. If you arc interested in any particular bill and will let us know we will see that special attention is given it. 1 ... ...

If some of our folks 0 get to gossiping over this line with som e ot their folks, its going to be expensive, but the company has made one good rule and that is that twelve minutes is the limit.

The greatest revival as we were reminded the other evening by Mr. Booth must be in the heart ot the individual and the purpose of these meetings is to awaken all to the importance ot getting back to God and church. i Experts have ruined another alibi for the over-worked business man or ’laborer by declaring that over exertion, physical or mental, are very rare for when the mind and body gets so tired that continuance of occupation injures there is a refusal to go farther. If we feel like working hard ■we should go to it with the assurance ( that when we approach the dangerous point the body will weary and refuse to work. The only dangerous thing alyut it all is when we get to feeling •Jtorry for ourselves. That affects the Ynind and consequently causes 111bess. All this is tough for the fellow [who likes to loaf with a good excuse ■and takes the fun out of laziness. Harry G. Leslie, ot Lafayette, was elected speaker of the house and ' James J.

It has many advantages and, except . for the fact that It is a sport which ; must be practiced indoors, would enlist me more regularly in its use. , Would Like to Box. Boxing is a sport to which I am , greatly inclined. I am a great admirer L of the “manly art.” It nqt alone I. brings practically all the muscles both . , of limb and trunk into action but baa ■ a marked utility in the ordinary com- . ing and going of human life, it promotes combativeness and activity of lx>dy and mind, induces rapid decis--1 ions and increase agility. I would box more, but the call of the open lures me to the freshness of the fields . and woods. I am a lover of all sports. I would gladly play golf,tennis, football, if my tim e woud permit. I enjoy sea bathing:, a heritage of race, for we Italians are by nature sea-dogs from the beginning of time. Today the sport which I find most adapted to my needs and certainly acceptable to my tastes is that of horseback riding. 1 devote my one precious hour allowed by my rigid daily schedule to that sport. It combines a surety! to physical fitness with a generous' measure of mental relaxation. I am ' supremely devoted to it. I love horsez, I love the exercises. I love the out-of-doors ami the thrill of the gallop and th c jump. | My love for horses dates back to I my childhood. I remember, for it is i indelibly impressed upon my mind. I when I was five, how 1 was first plac- ; ed on a horse and learned to trot and I gallop without a saddle. I renewed I the sport while a young man, this j time using a saddle and getting the | thrills of speed ami the joys of the I ‘ ’’.TT**”' ’ ** Today, 1 have a greater love for ! th e horse; it is the emblem of speed , and strength. It may be capricious I and tricky but disciplined, it is re- I sponsive and sure. Unfortunately, it j possesses no sense of humor but I what it lacks there it more than compensates in its desire to go th e limit - —in heavy harness, to pull hard; in war, to follow the enemy in his flight; I on the track, to run the fastest. My riding now is enjoyed when the | joys and thrills of speed ami strength I return. I get the greatest pleasure I in galloping across the fields, where ■ there are plenty of obstacles and plenty of space to give the horse a chance to do its best. My time does I not permit me "to follow the hunt but I I know of nothing more thrilling than | to be on thc back of a fast galloping I steed, with a jump and leap increasing the excitement. Pleasant is Rome and its environs ! for the horseman. The sketches of I plain on the campagna offer the wide I expanse and natural roughness adapted to the gallop and the jump.

My Arab horses were presented to me by Arabian and African sovereigns and 'native chiefs in our African colonies. | They are the most beautiful animals I have ever seen. They are not quite iso high as my two native bred, which [came to me from the ministry of the war. The Arabs are spirited and nerv- ' onr, ready to make a dart across the | campagna whenever 1 choose. But |my favorite horse is the Italian-bred Ruzowich. I like him because he Is I my best companion, knows me, responds to my touch and trots to my taste. This one hour on the horse keeps me in perfect physical condition. Rumors and gossip of my being an invalid would find sparse confirmation indeed in the morning gallop. I feel massive of body, strong in every nerve fiber, supremely fit to meet the heavy responsibilities which my office demands. • I read with genuine pleasure the letters I receive daily from America advising me how to be restored to health. These letters contain the most fantastic cures for the most fantastic ills. There is the usual vegetarian diet, fruit diets, starvation cures and baths.
