Congress and the legislature overj but tax paying will continue to worry us for a few weeks if not longer. The middle west, south and west have a year in which to decide whether they like Coolidge prosperity or' prefer something which effects all of the country. Florida is having another bank failure epidemic, which gives a lot of the wise ones who did hot invest down there during the craze the finest kind of au opportunity to say, "I told you so.” Farmers who drive a horse-drawn vehicle at night must equip them with lights or reflectors. The penalty for not doing so under a new law enacted by the late legislature is a, fine of SIOO. Canada is a thrifty nation. With a population which is about equal to that of Greater New York the savings as shown through the chartered banks total $1,343,116,753. This, the report for last year showed a gain over the previous year of nearly a hundred million dollars. Wonder what the real reason is for Attorney General Gilliom taking such a decided stand against the impeach ; ment of Judge Dearth? He seems to be as fixed in his opinions all along' the line as are Dearth’s attorneys and has just ruled that the appropriation to cover the expenses of the impeachment trial is unconstitutional and illegal. The republican press of Indiana, realizing and recognizing the fact that some defense of the late general assembly will be necessary are now broadcasting that the best thing the' session did was to do so little, which | would be important if true. They passed three hundred bills, most of which provided in some manner or other for the expenditure of money. They caused a very decided tax increase and .they failed to do the few things that the public was demanding and that would have aided in these rather trying times. They will have, to account for the bills pissed when the times comes and if bad they will have to stand for the righteous anger of a trial-worn populace. The state highway commission moves slowly, sometimes mysteriously, but it moves. Almost without notice the route into this city from the south has been changed and now. conies in over Winchester street, according to the new markings. The notices have alsb been ordered published for the improvement of the road from this city to the cross roads a mile this side of Monrde for Tuesday, April sth al ten o’clock A. M. Evidently they propose (u go right aiioau with the work and backed, by the state can do the things proposed. They prefer to de so with the enthusiastic consent of the property owners but, they cannot stop because of the objections of a few and it seems they do not. Merchants in cities the sUc of Decatur have a better opportunity to make a success of their business than do those in the larger cities because it is easier for them to attract the attention of the buyers. Rents, advertising. rates, clerk hire and every

overhead is lower in the small town. ’ Os course the city merchant has a larger field but don't forget he also has more competition in comparison. If you will take the trouble to count the retail establishments of a given kind in the telephone directory ami do I u simple problem of division you will discover that the small town merchant has a better field than the big town merchant. 'The answer is that I you can make your business what you ' will by being industrious and by judicious and consistent advertising. Don’t quit on the job because of temporary lulls. Keep right on hammering and you will win just as sure as time passes. Bert J. Griswold, historian, advertising counselor and expert, cartoonist, practical idealist. Fort Wayne's greatest booster aud a leading citizen, died last evening after a short illness. If you knew Bert Griswold, you ad-. I mired and loved him. He was the greatest worker for the public and for his friends in this section of Indiana and for many years had been the central figure in every public enterprise. Os wonderful personality ' and great ability he served contin-| uously and without thought of himI self or of reimbursement. His death ' has shocked this part of Indiana I where he was known either personally or by reputation by more people than any other citizen. He was self educated, a printer, newspaper writer.' cartoonist, a ivertising expert, the best I informed man on history of northeastern Indiana, a real man and a companion, a thinker and a doer. Thousands mourn the death after a few days of illness of this great man. j ♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thi* Day. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ March 9. —Pipe line worker helps himself to Jacob Wilder’s team aud wagon, captured at Craigvtlle and now in jail. i Bank of Monroe organizes by electing W.

Charleston In Brazil Causes Cabaret Riot Rio De Janeiro (United Press). — The Charleston is blamed for a rolt in a Rio de Paneiro club in which three policemen were injured, a number of Charleston dancers arrested, and the interior of the chib extensively damaged. The North American dance is barred in several Rio clubs, among them tlie Club Gymnastico Portuguez. lu the latter dub, during a charity tea dance, several young Brazilians began to throw their feet to the Charleston tempo, and protested when a director of the dub stopped the music and asked them to leave the floor. In a few minutes a free-for-all was in progress between the Charlestonites and the fox tro-maxixe-tango adherents. Chairs and pictures began to fly. Women and children sought the exits. The first three policemen who arrived became casualties. Finally the Charleston foices were surrounded and taken to the police station. but the advocates of less strenuous dances were by that time too weary to continue the program. Q FOUR BOARDER COWS ARE SOLO Unprofitable Cows In Cow Testing Association Are Sold; Report Is Made A- the result of having their unprofitableness brought to light by Roy L. Price, tester for the Adams County ( ow Testing Association, four “boarder” cows were sent to the “block" by members of the organization during the month of February. It is Price's duty to act as combined detective-law-yer, gathering the facts about cows in the herd and presenting them to the owner. The owner serves as judge, sentencing cows that are not making him money and seeing that they jifohijuiy jo. o tke:r places at nis teed mangel. According to Prices report, several more cows in the association will be sentenced shortly. When it is remembered that the ordinary boarder cow consumes from sixty to seventy-five dollais worth of feed each year, the economy of getting rid of them is evident. “Tlie average cow produces about 160 pounds of butterfat each year", states I’rice. "According to our association records, a cow must produce about 100 pounds ntore than that before she yields a profit, so you see how much money the ordinary farmer
