The Rushville Republican suggests that one of the things wrong with this age is that so many folks are trying to get a twenty-five-miles-to-the-gallon living out of a ten-miles-to the gallon income. A ten day reprieve for Sacco and Vanzetti was granted by Governor Fuller a half hour before they were to be executed early this morning. Continued frantic efforts will be ■ made by the counsel of the two men, strikes and protests will continue every where and excitement will be the greater for the delay. It will be a relief when th ecase is closed one way or another. The new one dollar bill which is I now being engraved and tthe printing of which will begin November Ist will be only two thirds the size of the bill now in use. Six hundred million hills will be turned out and the new ‘■frog skin” will be in circulation the ' first of the year. The old bills will be recalled as rapidly aS possible and ’ aft< r a year or two will be almost a ■ novelty. . Michael Cekriotis had $1,135 in a savings bank, f worried him and so he drew it out and hid it in a can which he placed in a closet at his home. A few days later when he needed some money he failed to find it and his son Alex sorrowfully revealed that he had used the can in a game of polo and that one of the boys had taken it home with him. Mike finally located it and immediately put the money back in the bank which is of course the only safe, sane and right thing to do. A Cleveland girl got a divorce from her millionaire husband a short time ago and the court gave her an alimony allowance of $24,000 per year. Now she has filed a suit to increase that amßUnt to $36,000 a year, alleging that it is impossible for her to get along on two hundred a month. The part that makes one laugh is that when she married three years ago she was ticket sales-lady in a picture show on a salary of $22.00 a week. What do you suppose would have happened to her if she had not found the man with more money than brains? ED We do not know the policy , of the state highway commission regarding the repair and maintainenee of detour roads but usually such bodies do not act until they have to. There should be a protest made about the condition of Mud Pike and we should see that the road is kept in repair and left in as good condition as it was found the state highway is opened. That is the law and we should refuse to permit anything else That’s the only fair thing to do and we are sure the commission will do it if we let them know that we expect it. The bootleg business is shattered in New York and there Is much complaining by those who have made a living by illegal sale of booze as well as by those who have been depending on the bootlegger for their daily supply of scotch or gin. It’s all due to the exploding of bombs by the “reds" in protest to the proposed electrocution of Sacco and Vanzetti. Os course when that started an army I of police were stationed in the subway with onders to search every man carrying a bundle. They didn't find any

I bombs but they did find a lot of liquor, I making it necessary to place the currier under arrest. As may be imagined the currying of liquor has stopped and the business is completely on the bum. More than ninetyfive per cent, of the farmers of Indiana in the cornborer Infested urea worked together and co-operated with government forces ip the recent effort to eradicate the European pest, whose menace is well known and understood. The other 5 per cent, co-operated reluctantly, if (hey co-operated at all, and a few of them went so far as to refuse utterly to do their share toward the checking of the borer. At least one case of the latter classification went into court, with the result that the court ruled that those engaged in the cleanup work were without authority to enter upon the land to enforce their rulings and regulations. It is a shortsighted policy, in law or fact, that will permit of a situation of this kind. When ninety-five farmers out of a hundred in a given area find themselves confronted by a problem, the lack of a solution for which threatens their industry, that the other five may effectively block the majority’s efforts is lamentable, viewed from any angle. The action of the five who oppose the efforts of their neighbors merely provides another example of the short-sightedness that has stood in the way of farmers' efforts to cooperate all the way down through a long time past. There is another side to the question, however. While farmers must be expected to co-operate in movements of this kind, all the cooperation should not be expected to come from them. There was plenty of i room, according to reports from the Indiana infested area, for co-opera i tion with the farmers on the part of, state and federal officials, and it has • been bur experience that when farmers are approached in an understand-' ing way and the problem to be solved J placed before them fairly they are j usually quite ready to join hands with the authorities in solving it. It is to ■ be hop' d that an appeal will be taken
