Rockefeller is in Florida again, wasting a few more dimes out . of his billion, a sure sign that winter has arrived. * - You don't have to put your twelve- ' year-old son on the train and tip the conductor any more. The youngster jumps in his car, steps on it and is there ahead of the fastest train. | We have about lost faith in the . weather than but he certainly made good on his promise of a blizzard and ~ a zero cold wave this time. - If Henry Ford ever had any doubt ■ ” ill tile merits of advertising he was X certainly sold last week. He spent a million and sold something like half i a million cars. • The city council has the question « of better marking and signals for the , railroad crossings under consideration and will work it out satisfactorily we * are sure. Help the kiddies have a big Christmas. Drop some money in one of the boxes so that old Santa won’t overlook a single little boy or gfiP Now what would yon say if Governor Small maneuvered his own appointment to the United States senate or worse yet, named Mayor Thompson of Chicago? Not impossible, even probable, would you call either an improvement over Smith? And while you are doing your Christmas shopping, remember tq drop in to your bank and take out a savings card with the first payment or two on it. Give that to your son or daughter and let them learn to' save. By next Christmas they will i have a fund with which to do their shopping and better still will have formed a habit of saving which would be better than any gift you can give them. President Coolidge is not the kind who says something just to hear himself talk. The Senator Fess breed of’ politicians should have knowh it at least after he had told them several times privately. Well, any way. he’ has made it clear now and if Dawes] or Hoover of Lowden or any of the' ambitious boys have any thing up their sleeves its time for them to be showing. That hank up at Huntertown is certainly giving an exhibition of endurance. Held up three times, several attempts frustrated, closed a time or two. it keeps on going successfully between rounds. Hot ace Tucker, the brave cashier who has been the tar-i get for the bandits and on each occasion disclosed courage, declares he has had enough ami will resign. Its quite a problem but surely an institution which can stand that kind of ill luck is well founded and can stuud any thing. Every time we read of a death at a rnitroad crossing we are more convinced that Indiana should have a law requiring every driver of any kind of a vehicle to stop at a railroad crossing. Other states have such Jaws and the saving in life proves the worth of such a regulation. Scarcely a week passes that persons are not killed in Indiana by failing to stop before crossing a railroad track. N«

law will prevent people from driving ' In front of trains but a law requiring every driver to stop his car would be | observed by at least 90 per cent, of them and that would help some.— • New Castle Times. •I i a | A New York organization, known as • the national industrial conference I board, has gone back to such figures las were available in 1925 ami figured j out the per capita wealth of each I state. Nevada, with a population of ' about 80,000, ranks first with a total i of $565,000,000 and a per capita of > $7,299. The term "wealtV is used to ' include only tangible, physical forms such as land and improvements, equip ment of industrial enterprises, farms, live stock, railloads, public utilities and their equipment, personal property, automobiles and other vehicles. It does not Include money" in any form, bullion or credits. Indiana is ranked twenty-ninth, with a total of . $9,733,000,000 and an average for each ■ man. woman and child in the state ot $3,145. It is slightly lower in pet capita wealth than Missouri and slightly higher than Michigan. The leading states in the classification, after, Nevada, are Wyoming. South . Dakota. lowa, Oregon, Nebraska. Cali fornia. North Dakota. Connecticut j Montana, Kansas, Washington, New Jersey, New York. Minnesota and •Arizona. Generally speaking, the southern states are low in the list, the last thirteen being Florida, Virginia. Texas. Louisiana. Tennessee. North Carolina, Oklahoma. Kentucky. Arkansas, South Carolina. Georgia , Mississippi and Alabama. New Yorks i total wealth is figured at $40,108,000,000; Pennsylvania ranks second with ] $32,116,600,000 and Illinois is third I with $21,009,000,000. but the large ' populations of these states bring down the per capita.—lndianapolis News.
