HENRY KRICK:— Again it becomes our duty to record the passing of a splendid citizen, one who has done much to aid the community, one who has served in various capacities and always with a record of having done his duty and done it well. Henry Krick, manufacturer, ex-official, farmer, conservative business man and active in all affairs tending to help his community and his fellow citizen, died early this morning. For more than four score years he lived, over half a century of that time in this community. He was thrifty, conservative, always industrious, a wise and careful and alert man whose advice was ever kindly and helpful and thoughtful. He served as a member of the city council, as sheriff of the county, as a representative in the legislature and not a single mark of graft or neglect can be found in his long record. We held him in highest regard for we knew that whatever his opinion was, it was a sincere one given after careful thought. Mr. Krick was in many ways an ideal citizen. He loved his home and family, he was deeply interested in seeing his community grow betterlie was fearless and outspoken yet no man would go farther to serve friends or a cause in which lie believed. He was of the old school, giving his best all the time—profiting only from the general improvement which resulted. He rounded out a long span of life, lived clean and passes to his reward an example of success and achievement which should be emulat- : ed. ’ An anonymous letter takes us to , task rather severely because of a live line editorial which appeared in y Thursdays paper calling attention to some outlying “shacks” which are illy ' kept and after calling our attention to the somewhat tender subject that we 1 are getting old and won't have long to linger here, hints that we are | “down trodding” the poor and the humble. We assure the writer that we have nothing of that kind in our hearts or minds and if such an impression was given, we ask forgiveness. We have always tried to give aid and encouragement -to the “poor 1 ami humble" being of that class ourselves and will go any length for the 1 cause, but bad appearing yards are no; always proof of poverty. Usually it is just plain neglect when the yard , is filled with rubbish and dirt or when a house reeks with filth and we doubt it our chances for Heaven will be ’ lessened any by urging that such places should be cleaned up for the benefit of the whole community. And there are a very few which certainly . need renovating. L t And so that fine looking horse i which Stephenson rode, clad in purple was “The Senator”, once owned by ‘ Ed Jackson. Oh well, as far as thats j concerned, that handsome autombbile in which the governor has ridden about the stite is said to have been a gift from Stephenson They were such good friends that according to Steve he gave $73,216 to Jackson’s campaign fund. What was he to receive in return? What did lie get? How does that effect the average citizen? These are some things that ought to be straightened out pretty soon. if a hundred good citizens would write John D. Williams, director of

It would be a great advantage and a splendid improvement. Few saddle horses have been sold in Indiana at the fancy price of $2,500 and it seems rather queer that a man so prominent as Ed Jackson was in 1923 could make such a splendid deal and without any publicity but some politicians have away of doing things without any one knowing it. “The truth is no defense" says the supreme court but the trustees of the state penal farm have recommended and Governor Jackson has granted George Dale a parole from his ninetyday sentence. The case has attracted attention every where with opinion divided. Now if the “little black box” produces more checks given by Stephenson to Jackson, as is claimed can be, what will the governor give as an excuse? He may have had a $5,000 saddle studded with diamonds and every thing. Ed Jackson is smart. It never would have done for him so have ridden around on a $2,500 horse seeking votes. $2,500 for a horse? Lets see him. - Must be some relation to Whiskery.

Bluffton College To Make Drive For $50,000 Campaign funds for an addition to Ropp Hall, girls’ dormitory, will be launched this week by Bluff on College. Announcement of the campaign was made by President S. K. Mosiman, Tuesday. Canvas for funds will start at once both in Bluffton and vicinity as well as in other states having constituents of the institution. Lack of sufficient accommodations for young women was given as one of tlie most pressing needs of the .college at present in a statement issued by President Moisman. For a number of years past there lias been an ever increasing demand for more rooms in Ropp Hall, he stated-. The campaign for funds will be pushed as rapidly as possible and it is planned to start work on the foundation for the structure this fall, with the balance of the construction next

summer. The addition, 85 by 38 feet, will be constructed at the south end of the present Ropp Hall forming an “L” extending east. The new structure will also project west toward Campus Drive to a point even with the porch at the entrance to the hall. o.
