A Colorado woman, ninety-six years old, is suing,for a divorce. She has bobbed hair, smokes cigarettes and • is modern in every way but thank goodness the stories do not claim she chews plug tobacco. Lets land a factory and have an Old Home Week in Decatur during 1928. Efforts to culminate both of these desires should be started now I so that we will have the first part of the year to get ready. Some one who has checked up on it de lares that every one of the thirteen Indiana congressmen will be candidates again. They certainly do hang on to those jobs as long as they can. ■ Several accidents have occurred here and near here the past fortnight, sufficient to make us be careful in every way. Os course the approaches should be properly parked' and guarded but a certain responsibility, don't forget it, depends always upon the driver. Over four hundred have joined the t lied Cross in the northern part of the county, which is less than half thei number we should have in the entire county. There should be two or three hundred more on the roll call here. Don't overlook it. S Jack Dempsey says he can't stand the big cities because they cramp | him. Just some of the Hollywood| wildwest stuff for Jack made every | dollar he has in the world and some he hasn't in the big cities. The wide open spaces never would pay him a million dollars to fight. Joint (Bones) Voglewede, came in this morning with his Old Home I Week badge of 1912 and told us to keep on urging a repetition. John ] says it was the greatest week De- ' catur ever had in every way and the I happiest, too, and that he will aid in ! every way he can, agreeing with us that the only way to do it is to do it tight. Lets make it a good one. walking across the street in Chicago a day or two ago was * struck by two automobile at the same time and killed. Now they are trying to decide which car struck the fatal blow. When they go, to doubling up this way a pedestrian is not h going to have much chan e either ini, the hospital or in court. Dr. Shumaker seems to have a|l faculty of saying too much and going too far. Thats what got him ia bad with the supreme court, an incident which should have caused him to | stop, look and listen before making || his broadside charges and demandsagainst Dr. Rayle and the faculty of Indiana ('Diversity, its a long leap] from injecting or administering whiskey to save a life and using it as a beverage. The South Bend Tribune declares! that Mr. Gilliom l.as “emerged from the attacks against him a Christian gentleman” and “his critics will if they desire to advance the prohibition cause, refrain from further public discussion of this case." Which would I be alright if Mr. Gilliom ami others I away from here did not desire to continue a discussion and that seems to be the real cause for most of it. Nearly three billion dollars of the

I national debt was paid off during Hie I p last eighteen months of Mr. Wilson's ( . administration. Since then, six years, the debt has been reduced five billion. ,or less than u billion a year. There '•[is much bunk in the "constructive j economy” so widely advertised. With the large sum being raised by taxation' • it would bo rather queer if no reduction had been made. ” Michigan, a state which is original j in many laws has a new one now ’ which requires that every pistol or 5 revolver must be registered by num- ) her, make and model with the cifief of police of the city in which owner, lives or if in rural sections with the' county sheriff. Failure to register a weapon makes the owner liable to a fine of SIOO and ninety days in the county jail. The object is to prevent bandits and gunmen ftom securing, or, possessing guns and the results will be watched with interest by those who declare that the burglars will of ( course slip out to some other state 1 and bootleg guns in. The railroad crossings in Adams j i ounty should be marked. We do no< know whose duty that is, whether it be the railroads, the county, the] towns, the commercial organizations, 1 the Hoosier Automobile Association or what organization, but its certainly some ones and it ought to be done and immediately. Even if it is done ' by two or three of them it can't hurt anything. Driving through various i portions of Ohio and Michigan wo ( have noticed the roads much better . marked, particularly with reference < to railroad approaches. Something should be done abou it. o 4:4;¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * •(:¥**¥******** Getman forces attack British ten , times at Masnieres, tore.ng withdrawal three and a half miles south ct Cambrai. “Gei many must and will be beaten,” General Pershing says in message to Bishop Luther B.
