Any way these arc doggoned fine nights to sleep it not the best for any thing else. Some of the vacant lots are beginning io look a little ragged again. Keep the weeds out and keep the city looking well kept. It adds so much to the general appearances. Fort Wayne City officials are giving themselves a nice little boost in salaries under a new law which gives them that authority. Don’t blame them, blame the recent legislature which made it possible. Why coax Mr. Coolidge who says he "does not choose to be a candidate for president in 1928"? There are several million men in this country who would like the job -and probably some of them are just as capable. It is rather queer that President Coolidge should use the flexible word "choose" in his statement concerning his candidacy and we don’t understand why there should be an air of mystery around this meaning. The public will no doubt accept it and the candidates will declare there can be no backing up by the proxy. Senator Watson says its too early to say whether he will be a candidate for president which is equivelant to saying that he wants to find out whether he can have the support from his own state. If he can have an Indiana delegation to the convention its safe to say he will be a candidate but that's, rather a big “if.” There is some satisfaction in the knowledge that while there were over 25,000 bills introduced during the sixty ninth session of congress, only 998 of these became laws. Even at that, rate its soon going to be rather dtt-. ficult to engage in either business or pleasure without violating some law. It may interest our readers to know that there are 1,304,200 persons * named Smith in the United States and that Johnson is next with 1,024,200, Brown 730,500, Williams 684,700; Jones 658,300, Miller 625,800, Davis 537,900, Anderson 477,300, Wilson 422.300, Moore 363,400. They say the hand of President Coolidge shook noticeably when he handed those slips out to the newspaper men the other day. Well we can understand that, mjtellow wouldn’t get the greatest pleasure out of giving up a $75,000 a year job and the trimmings, but at that we believe be was wise. Stock prices crashed yesterday, due it is claimed to the announcement by President Coolidge that' he would not be a candidate for another term. Well they might as well get down where they belong for this would have to occur some time. Surely they couldn't have expected him to serve longer » than three or four terms. A railroad watchman complains that motorists are often careless in passing him and that on several cccaslons he has had very narrow escapes. We can't understand how any one would purposely commit such an act aganist a man who is standing In a dangerous position to warn thpm of approaching trains and affidavits against such recklessness should cause them to receive the extremes! penalty the law provides.

Th"e ornamental street lights will i be extended on Second street to the old mill site, u fine Improvement. It had been hoped that the county would assist In extending them to the north bridge but it was explained that this cannot be done because the proposed improvement is entirely in the city. Perhaps next year the matter can be worked out one way or another for there is nothing more important than the approaches to a city. There was once a philosopher who epitomized his sum of wisdom in a well turned epigram about the futility of trying to eat your cake and have It. Notwithstanding this sage observer, there cun be no denying the miracle of a certain magic cake which, having been eaten, still remains. This is the cake of savings and investment. When you place money in a savings bank or buy a sound investment security of some kind, you enjoy the income you have created for yourself and you still have your original purchase money or its equivalent. You eat the cake of Income and still have the ct'ke of principal. And if you should allow your income cake to remain uneaten, behold the results: For every dollar you invest at 6% compounded semi-annually you will get an additional dollar in exactly 11 years and 265 days. For every dollar you put in a savings bank at 4% compounded quarterly, you get another dollar in exactly 17 years and 151 days. It is only because of lhese simple truths that individual progress through thrift is possible.—Thrift Magazine. #«*****¥¥***❖ * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * *¥¥**¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ * Meyer London, N.
