35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York. “Senator Fess sees prosperity" says ‘a newspaper headline. We've heard .of people feeling that way but not in .dry territory. Texas offers $5,000 reward for a 'dead bank robber and nothing for a live one. You can guess what chance a "bandit has, no difference how much a gentleman he is. At least its not too early to start making up your list of presents for Christmas and by looking around, reading the advertisements and having gifts placed away for you, save a lot of time and trouble. Henry Ford says we are on the eve of a great prosperity era and that it will break within the next month. Let 'pr come Henry. If we ever wanted you to guess right in your life, its now. The Van Wert Bulletin of Wednesday evening printed pictures showing President and Mrs. Coolidge attending the Army-Navy football game. Since the game isn't to be played until this afternoon we just wonder how they have put in all this time. Writers from Washington predict the farm relief bills will not get far which is perhaps not as interesting as what the congressmen and sen ators will tell the voters when they get back next autumn for the campaign. Whatever else you do the next fewweeks in preparation for a glad Christmas remember to join the Red Cross. Your name on the annual roll call will help and those in charge hope to make the total reach one thousand or more this year. Captain Giles who started to Hawaii the other day and came back in a few hours claims he encountered terrible storms. The weather bureau declares that a joke, as they say there were no storms during the hours he was out. Chance for an argument and congress will probably be tempted to investigate. Albert Stump, well-known Indianapolis lawyer, will give the commencement address in Decatur next May 25th. Mr. Stump is a brilliant speak- .* er and will convey to the class of 1928 a message they should long remember. He has addressed similar meetings for years past and is recognized as one of the best men available. *-■ ■ ' ■ Thrift is a wonderful thing and thrift is the one thing we need in this country more than any other but thrift does not mean merely the saving of money. If you really need a thing, it some times costs you more to do without it than it would to buy. it. Save so you can buy those things which help you in business and hi life. Chicago is having an art show and in last nights parade the headliner was the appearance of the modern Lady Godiva, she of legendary fame who rode through Coventry on a white steed, clad only in her yellow tresses. They couldn’t find any in Chicago to fit the picture so they went to Detroit and found one who thinks a “nude lady no worse than a naked cow" and that just suited the crowd Art is a great thing but we fear then

| were many in the “Jam” who don't know or care any thing about it. ii ii.im_a.iuiu C. N. Gorham, president of the Illinois Association of Real Estate Boards, in an address at the state convention in Springfield, this week, sounded a warning that a farm boom is imminent and called attention to what happened in Florida. He said that companies are being organized in the east to buy up middle west land and declared “we don't want speculators to buy these farms, we want farmers to buy them " He is right about it to a degree at least. Farms in this section where we have real pay dirt, are sure to go up and they should be owned by local people or by others who expect to make Ad ams county their home.

Many .good folks are lamenting the passing of the era when men and s women consecrated their lives to un-j i selfish service and prepared them-: selves to become ministers, mission j aries, teachers or country doctors that | they might administer to the spiritual, mental and physical needs of humanI ity without thought of large worldly 1 gain. They are, not in error when i they charge that modern men and i women are choosing vocation today in which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People today j are coming to the belief that the best ■ . way they can help others is to produce much that their profit shall be large and that they shall never be I , come dependent upon society. The old idea of service was direct. The new service is indirect. Twenty j , years ago it was still thought that I only ministers, doctors and teachers ’ served humanity. Touay every workman who carries his whole day's wage home is known to have earned that i wage in service to society. Elbert I Hubbard's version of the Golden Rule , was, “Do unto others as though you! were the others," but an even more up-to-date version is “Do yourself ■ much good and no bad to others." Getting something for yourself is reprehensible only when it is gotten I at the expense of another.—Lebanon Reporter. — — o- **««¥*¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 54¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥X Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by United Press N.

When they see an attorneygeneral of the great state of Indiana. ’traversing the state making speeches ■to clubs and university students, , spouting about the grand old Const!j tution, bewailing the absence of re- . spect for law which is shown today, ' j complaining about the intolerance of those who want the law enforced and ; at the same time carrying whiskey to ; parties in another county, posing as a life saver, advising its use in sickness to high officials in the state, they are sure to think that all is not as it should be. As a matter of fact it j is hard to tell whether whiskey ever saved any ones lite. In the old log cabin days of Indiana when the whiskey jug went to the grocery to be re- , filled every week, when rattle snakes and the shaking ague were plentiful ■ and doctors were scarce and far away, in that long ago day, whiskey was the antidote for everything. it was the cure-all for ati pioneer ills because it was handy. But what a “slam" on the up-to- | date physician of the present day. After all their delving into science, all their extensive studying of the human system, to have a man come along with a pint of whiskey in his pocket and claim that he has saved the life that the well read physician could not save. The Fort Wayne News tells the story of the Adams county hospital incident. Gilliom asks if there is any thing he can do Ito help his sister. The doctor says, ! “nothing unless you gkt some whiskey” and forthwith came the whiskey and the patient got well. That story sounds wonderfully “thin." Yet there are people who seem to belive they I can tell a story like that and it will Ibe believed. What is the use of all our medical colleges, laboratories and lecture courses if we are to resort to the old log cabin cure-all and dole out whiskey for all the ills that human nature is heir to. That hospital story sounds a little too much like the story of Gov. Jackson's $2,500 horse. It is too much to believe that the average citizen could have the capacity to swallow many stories like that. We suppose the physician will remain strictly silent and let Gilliom do the "broadcasting.” Dr. Shumaker was right, when he said that his indictment would havu. an effect on the next election. The Republican party in Indiana has enough to contend with without antagonizing all the churches and religious societies in the state which have endorsed Dr. Shumaker. It will be well for the Republican party in this state, unless they are really seeking defeat, to call a halt on the activities of Arthur Gilliom and cut out those extremely wet editorials in the Fort Wayne News.
