Doift let the week slip by without — donating a can or two of fruit to the Adams County Memorial hospital. | Thats a fine cause and deserving of your support. Young Teddy Roosevelt no doubt ~ thinks he is doing something in his attacks against Governor Al Smith but ft already begins to look as though he had hold of the hot end of 7 the poker. The w’ondertul weather continues without signs of a break for the next • few days at least. As long as it keeps up the Florida migration will 7 be slim. Don't let it fool you though, better put in some coal, you will probably need it before May Day. " Henry Ford is said to have spent a quarter billion dollars in getting • ready to place his new car on the market and didn’t borrow a dollar. Most people with that amount of cash would have let it go at that so this venture is at least of more than pass- , ing interest. ■ , —— t Great Britain has forty million rats , and so they hold a “rat Week," duri:g;j which time last year they killed off eight million. It may seem a joke but it isn't, for rats in this country destroy nearly a billion dollars worth of property annually and do no good so far as can be ascertained. The sugar company has more than two million dollars invested here, — employ many people, pay thousands of dollars to the farmers annually and are entitled to earnest support, cooperation and consideration. Its a splendid institution that will grow as the years go by. Lets be boosters. — — Congressman Albert 11. Vestal has appointed Fred E. Watson, of Muncie, as his secretary and the people of his district are glad he did not go to South Dakota or some outside terri- ~ tory to select his assistant even ■ though according to the congressional • pay roll he has had several such ' under him. Governor Jackson who was indicted along with several others for trying to bribe Governor McCray, will •• fight, it is announced. We thought he would as soon as he got his breath -• for the ordinary man doesn't particularly care to fill a prison cell, but it — is quite likely that Prosecutor Remy and his assistants will likewise fight . to a finish. — Beef cattle sold yesteTday at Indianapolis and Chicago for $17.00 per «, hundred, certainly a wonderful price „ and an opportunity for those who] have them to sell. The high price it' is said is caused by the fact that we — are eating more beefsteak and veal, •n The calves have been so\d off and .. there is a shortage of steers and beef cattle. The Sinclair and Fall case in Wash- -• ingtoti has ended in a mis-trial, due' to the fact that hired, detectives have been making propositions to members of the jury, another fine “howdyfa” for a great country like this. Why don't they gobble up these private detectives and those who hired them and punish them so speedily and ' severely that others will realize the danger of such practices? The annual complaint that the

sugar factory is responsible for the ’ killing of fish in the river has again cotne out of Fort Wayne and it is claimed they will have state officials here to investigate today. The fish were dying according to information . received here before the sugar factory 1 opened, hut the plant is made the ! “goat.” Conservation is important of course but so is the great industry which employs several hundred peo- ! pie and produces a market for a farm j crop which is steadily becoming more , valuable. I !_! _.L ’ A man who carried an accident I . I I policy providing for double pay If killed wiiile riding in a common carrier for passenger service, met death a few months ago as the result of an excursion in an airplane. The beneficiary sued to collect the double payment. providing a very nice law question which has just been decided by the United States court of appeals.

The court decided the insurance com--1 pany was not liable for the double indemnity since the airplane was not 1 operated on any schedule and for brief pleasure trips only, hence-he was not a common carrier. Thats for what its worth to you. Indianapolis wants a mayor, needs one and needs a real man for the job. That is settled beyond dispute but of course its not so easy to get the right man for the job for underneath the public appeals for a high grade man are the political machines, the personal pulls and the various other causes for all the trouble they are in down there. The newspapers, the chamber of commerce and other organizations realizing the seriousness of the occasion are making every effort to fill the office in such manne r as to correct the errors of the past. Lets hope they succeed. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * THURSDAY’S FIVE BEST FEATURES | WJZ —Hookup (15 stations) Chicago Civic Opera, Act 2 of “La Traviata”. i WEAF —HoHokup 7:00 pm.
