I¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ I We spent over four billion dollars for new automobiles in I this country last year which was five hundred dollars more than Iwe spent for new buildings and if we add accessories and the I cost of oil and gas we spent twice as much as we did for building, i I Not much danger of over building at that rate, is there? I¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ I Bill Thompson, mayor-elect of Chicago would like to be nomiI rated for president on the republican ticket next year and they ' ! have quite a campaign buzzing along that line already. Our guess' is they will discover that Chicago does not control a very wide! area politically. * * * * * Judge Dearth was not found guilty, so far as the vote in the! Indiana senate was concerned, although most of the people of the state had made up their minds that it was a mistake for Delaware county citizens to have placed the judge on the bench. A judge; needs a judicial poise, he needs discretion, he needs not only a, high regard for the law, but a knowledge of the law.—Nobles- j ville Ledger. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Plans are going forward for the establishing of a city coal, dump along the tracksTCbtock or two west of the power plant | where a switch will be constructed by the railroad company and where the coal can be unloaded at a big saving to the tax payers, [ a very wise thing to do. Besides the saving of much of the haul--I ing cost the city will save its paved streets and the move is an-1 I other progressive step of much real merit. ££ The “daylight saving” proposition has been .voted down by the Decatur city council, as was expected, after the decisive I referendum vote taken on the question through this paper. The; state of Ohio has gone to eastern time by an act of the legislature! which is alright because it makes the time the same all over the state. The worst part of such a change here would be that only us could operate under it because of train service and election by making a slogan of “America First.” Its an old game; but Big Bill worked it a new way. He made the English the goat and claimed they were to blame for all the ills of the times and announced that if he was elected mayor he would order every picture ot George Washington taken from the schools, tell every one who opposed him to go back to England where they could yell “God save the king.” The sad part of it is that a candidate can put such bunk over. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Indianapolis wants the democratic national convention next jearand will make an effort to land it. They propose to hold it In Cadle tabernacle. We doubt that the building is commodious enough and we doubt even more seriously if the hotels could handle the crowd, judging from what we have seen in other cities where such meetings have been held, but we are sincerely hoping! that such arrangements as are necessary can be made and that the great convention will be held in Indiana’s capitol city. The| convention will be one of the greatest in history and would bring! thousands here. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ The simplest and easiest thing in the world to do is to find iault. The weaknesses of humanity are so apparent that no special talent is needed to criticise. It’s easy and generally more convenient to take no interest in the public schools and then complain about the way the schools are managed. It’s less burden■ome to stay away from the polls on election day and then ever‘■iMingiy fuss about the public officials. The path of the least •esistance is to play golf all day or spend Sunday seeking amusement and then scoff at the church because it dbes not draw crowds. The irresponsible way is to sit back on the sidelines and ■efuse to take any part in community affairs and then grouch about the way public affairs are conducted. It’s the easiest thing in 'he world to degenerate into a disagreeable, musty, self-con-iented and chronic grumbler. Every community, regardless of * ts size, has its disgruntled citizens who never find anything but ,ad in everything and who delight in complaining about it. A certain number will always exist, no doubt, as a horrible example or those who make an honest effort to function as citizens. Peraps they are of some value, after all because they are a constant "dining of what forward-looking people wish to void becoming. Rushville Republican.

MS MARY’S MOTHER

I Mary’s mother used to say: “Why should Mary want to stray? I All she’ll want while she shall live Lios wfthin my power to give.’’ And when youth came wooing round i Always Mary': mother frowned.

IS THERE NO RELIEF FROM SKIN TORTURE?

Must I Continue to Suffer the Unbearable Itching? Are you one of those unfortunates who are going through life sutlering with a skin disease, making you uncomfortable, making you iess efficient. Interfering with your working hours, ruining your sleep? You may have tried many things without relief. Why not try 5.8.5.? For more than 100 years it has been giving relief in many forms of skin disease. Thousands of letters of gratitude prove its worth. “I feel so happy for what S. S.
