deciares that since he lias gotten nd of the germ he feels greatly improved in many ways. He may perhaps now break the silence he has been maintaining for several years while awaiting for the goddess of luck to snifle upon him. , With the new times have come many changes just a little hard tc understand. For instance we hardly ever see a scissor grinder or an umbrella mender and yet there should be more business for both than in the old days. It looks as though the old craftsmen have joined the grinders and menders in another world and the youngsters prefer trades in which the returns are more numerous. We will think more of Chicago and her officials if they actually bar “reaches" Browning from -appearing as a cabaret dancer in that. city. She and her mother and her poodle dog have arrived in the western city expecting to reap a rich harvest from curiosity seekers but an aiderman has offered a resolution there to prevent her putting on her fake. It has become rather a lad in late years to use publicity obtained through scandal as a public bait. Uncle Sam continues to become richer and richer. The national wealth in 1925 is estimated at |355,3U(),0<M),0t)0 by the National Industrial Conference Board. It is an increase of almost $35,000,000,000 since the last estimate, 1912. This estimate includes land and structures thereon, industrial equip-

ment, farms, livestock, railroad and public utilities, land and equipment, personal propertv, motor and other vehicles, gold and silver coin und hullion. Credits und money are not infilled. I Under a new act of the recent legislature, the secretary of the school ooard must publish in a newspaper a report of each meeting held, a monthly report of allowances und an annual report and the same duties are required of the city clerk for each meeting of the city council. The law provides new rates and new regulations ,of importance to each public official which, they should read with care as the act carries a penalty for failure to observe. The Chicago Tribune's editorial. Sunday, about Indiana has excited a lot.of comment among the newspapers over the state. The concensus of opinion seems to be that there are not many people moving out of Indiana at this time over into Illinois, especially to the Tribune's own city or to Herrin and some other spots I where thugs and gunmen run rampant. While it is nice for the Tribune to take an interest in Indiana, and there is much in the editorial that is true, that newspaper will have about all it can do to keep “Big Bill” and his gang inside the reservation, it onetenth what the Tribune has charged comes true under Thompson's administration.—Hartford City News. o *+♦♦♦*+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦« + BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO * i Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright. 1927. by United Press Cen.ral standard time WC'CO MinneapoiiC'St. Paul. 416, 8 p. m. — Minneapolis Symphony
