THE KIRKLAND <3YM: — Hats off to the men and women of Kirkland towsnhip who believe in' furnishing clean entertainment and amusement for their children and for themselves. Realizing that it was impossible and impracticable for the township to furnish a gymnasium building for the central high school and for the use of the others in that territory, twenty-five men banded themselves together under the name of the Kirk-1 land Men's Club, purchased the old gym building in this city, removed it,j to a site just opposite the school house' where they rebuilt it, covering the roof and the outer walls witli asbestos shingles, making it fire proof and arranged it with a playing floor of regulation size and with seating, capacity for more than five hundred people. It contains a splendid floor,' a stage and all things necessary to make it a fine gathering place for the folks of that section of the county. Besides using the building for sports and social gatherings the school will also utilize it as a music conservatory. I The improvement cost about $3,200,' of which amount seven hundred has been paid in by subscription and the I gym starts its career with a balance in the treasury. Its the hope of those: in charge that it will more than carry I its own way and that eventually the' debt can be paid oft and the building .ceded to the township. The dedication will occur Friday evenings a program of interest having been arranged. Mr. O. L. Vance of this city acting as chairman. Trustee Charles Arnold and a number of | other men have given much time and effort and all in that locality are [ anxiously awaiting the event and the happy occasions to follow. It is another demonstration of what can be done if we want to do it badly ( enough. Kirkland township has some excellent athletes and with the oppor-l tunity to practise will no doubt turn-' ish basketball teams and others to represent them with credit. We congratulate the township and those w’ho have made possible this addition to their school and their general life. The “old man" sitting alone in his cell in the Michigan City prison must feel terribly hurt when he hears day after day of some one whom he aided a few years ago now madly disavowing any acquaintanceship with him. Senator Robinson, Schortemeier, Bert Thurman, Senator Watson and others, are now almost tumbling over each other to deny that they ever had more' than a how-do-you-do fellowship with' the once mighty captain of the kian in Indiana. Ain’t politics funny? There are those who deciare that the two Englishmen whp started across the Atlantic the other day and ' turned back after they got out where they could get a good view of the ocean, were cowards or failures. We don’t feel that way. We don't believe any one. should keep on going if he has a chance to save himself. We are glad they went back and its alright with us if the rest of them turn around before they get as far out as these men did. A few thousand dollars will buy a ' i farm in this section of the country] now and you can bet that in a few vears from now the investment will | have increased fifty to a hundred per*

ceu . The hundred and thirty mil-, Hou people In the United Slates must' be fed and the only way to do that job is to raise plenty'on the farms. We don’t understand just how th*** slate tax board figures it when they permit the tax rate to remain thesame as last year and a; the sumtime take care of the increases provided by the legislature, but along with every one else we appreciate it and hope they haven’t messed things up too much. If Art Gilllom is as smart as we think he is he will soon realize that the people like just so much of this “I'm right and you're wrong" stuff as the text for a speech and after they have had that it acts as a boomerang. Art should make his reputation on his reword if he wants it to last for a long time. Two Decatur men will start Saturday on an automobile trip which will carry them 10,000 miles without a | stop, if successful. The trip is a test on the engine ami the car and we don't mind adding some test on themen behind the wheel. Decatur friends will pull for them and cheer them whgn they get the chance. There is one great advantage in having the plane races, over land instead of over seas and that is that | when they do have to come down for any purpose or even when they crash, t ’ I they can be located without the loss of other lives in seeking them. There is one way to stay out of the, clutches of the law and only one sure * way—don't violate it. The disregard *for laws and courts prevalent the past few vears has caused many to beI I lieve they can wink at 1: and consequently they get into trouble. Perhaps the lowa woman who ran I a farm twenty-two years and then I I won a laughing contest had just heard the stcry of how the governor-of In-, ’diana had sold a saddle horse for, $2,500. ! 0 I 1 * ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥ * I * BIG FEATURES *' |* OF RADIO * '************* WEDNESDAY’S BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1927 by United Press) Most of the radio stations of the country will broadcast this feature, J I which replaces the customary "Five (best radio features."

At that time the public I buildings in that city, were heavily draped in crepe (in honor of Abraham Lincoln, whose funeral trains were then passing through Columbus.

Says His Rheumatism Is Entirely Gone Found Quick Relief After 18 Years of Suffering. “I suffered with rheumatism for 18 years without getting more than temporary relief. My feet and legs would swell until at times I could hardly move, and the pain was awful. I couldn’t even take off my coat without help. Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle. From the first I saw it was helping me, and so I kept right on, and now I am pleased to say my rheumatism is all gone and I feel fine, and work at the factory every day. I feel my present health is all due to Viuna.”—Col. Bedwell, 605 West Franklin St., Hartford City, Ind. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.
