Its somebodys duty and we hope somebody looks after it before there is any greater sacrifice of lives. Mr. Mellon says prosperity is receding. He is speaking for himself and his associates perhaps. Surely lie is not speaking for the average farmer or business man of the middle west. With them it receded before it came aiu| just now shows some little indications of improving. President Coolidge, who did not •'choose to run" in August feels the same way about it in December. Men big enough to be president usually feel that no man should serve as the head of this great republic longer than eight years as the constitution intends. Now watch the scramble for his shoes. Fred Landis has discoveed a monkey at Los Angeles, smallest in the world,- that eats more than its own weight every day in grapes and bananas. He doesn’t attempt to explain that but adds that "the biggest monkey in the world is the American citizen who drinks bootleg whiskey without first going to the ceweteay to see what it does.” Astride a fierce gale of wind old winter came riding in to Adams county last night as predicted and there was a drop of about sixty in the < temperature within a few hours. In sections west of here it took the form of a blizzard and in others of a tornado. Cold weather is predicted for the next several days at least. President Coolidge will retire from office with a nest egg of a half million dollars which is not so bad since he has managed to save that out of a salary of 175,000 for six years and also inherited his father s fortune of SIOO,OOO. In other words he has evidently lived on his expense allowance, which is thrifty enough to please the tightest Vermonter. — A new rule makes it necessary that you secure your 1928 automobile license from the nearest countv agency, so those who have been sending direct to Indianapolis can save themselves time, effort and the slight cost by applying to their home license agency. The secretary of state claims the new rule will save the state $35,000 a year. Christmas comes on Sunday this year, which means it will be legally celebrated on Monday when the banks, portoffice and other offices will close. It is probable that all business in Decatur and in other Adams county towns will be closed on Monday, tints affording a double holiday. The same- thing is true also of New Years day, which, however, is not so generally observed and on which day many of the business places will remain open. Joseph B. Kealing, republican national committeeman from. Indiana and one of the best known politicians of the middle west died suddenly- yesterday from a heart attack. He became ill in Washington and returned home Sunday. lie has been a power in Indiana politics and for years many have depended upon his judgment. His passing will make another cause for a decision of who holds control

jof republican political affairs in the r state. Frank Smith is out of the senate, in fact he never got quite in, though r - he camfi close, und according to the (i returns had received a majority of the votes In his state. Before he took r ’ his seat, however, o was proven that he had been financed by corporations interested in legislation and his time 0 in Washington has been all together 0 taken up in trying to show that he q didn't mean any thing by that. Any 5 way he's out and the public will think ® better of the senate than they have heretofore for several years. The old-fashioned republican Is still arguing that the only relief the farmer needs is the tariff law, which might be more effective with agriculturists if he hadn't tried this antidote for some years now, only to discover hlmI self poorer at the end of the year . than he was on New Years day, which I reminds us of (Henry Ward Beechdr's story. Henry bought a pig once for , nine dollars, fed it forty dollars worth of corn and sold it for ten dollars. He lost thirty-one dollars on the feed but he made a dollar on the hog. - • Now with two main points definitely settled—that Mr. Coolidge will not be a candidate and that the convention will be held in Kansas City be1 ginning June 12th, all that remains for them is to select the candidate and then elect him, the two latter points, however, being perhaps just as important as the first two. The committeemen yesterday decided upon Kansas City as the meeting place after an all-day session and a spirited contest in which San Francisco was a lively contender. The city of Baltimore has attracted attention by reducing its tax rates steadily for four years past and during the same time reducing the city's indebtedness more than a million dollars. It was done by a plan suggested by a business man to the mayor and is after all very simple. They formed a special committee on efficiency and economy composed of the ten men in the city who pay the largest amounts in taxes. Naturally they are the best business men of that city and have thi* greatest interest because every penny off the tax rate is a saving to them. From disorganize I city government with departments overlapping and with no uniform system of accounting this committee soon put Baltimore on as sound a business basis as the best managed corporation. Better business methods always help and that is especially true of municipalities. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ;;¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥>■ THURSDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1927 by United Press) WOR, Newark (422) 7:25 p.m — New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Mengelberg, conducting, Gitta Gradova, soloist.

ft was not until 100 yearn later through the efforts of clubwomen that a reorganization which brought together the Indiana State Library, the Public Library Commission, the Historical Bureau and the Legislative Reference Bureau. creating what is now the Library and Historical Department, with the establishment of the Extension Division. The State Library was organized when a large part of the State was

i wilderness, and when its modes of communication and travel were most ■ primitive, ludiamipolls had no libraries ■ other than those belonging to Indi ! viduals. State officials began clamor ! tag tor reference books to meet their; need, and it was in answer to their de-! - mand, that the Secretary of State was 1 authorized to organize a library that would help them. This library through i later years, kept growing but remained accessible only to State officials!
