Perhaps after all we have no right to complain about the coat, of the Christmas turkey. Chief Roan Horse of the Osage tribe paid $250 for a buffalo which was consumed by his Thirty per cent of the farms in Indiana are operated by tenants on a share basis and most of these tenants it Is claimed have made more than the owners because they don't have to stand the depreciation, A Chicago doctor makes the claim that his city is the healthiest in the United States. Sure, they are so healthy up there that they have to shoot 'em two or three times before it takes, but they finally get them. There is one tiling about the visits of Old Man Winter this year, his , slays are brief. The predictions are that thu mercury will continue to , move upward gradually tor the pext , . couple of days. A Mrs. Hoyden from London was billed to preach in various Amer- , ican cities is losing her dates since , It has been discovered that she ; smokes cigarettes. It may look chic ; but after all we think more of those I, * who don't indulge. , ' i Floyd Hewitt, 17, who murdered , Mrs. Fred Brown and her five-year- , old son in an attempted assault at ( Conneaut, Ohio, Is to be electrocuted , - tonight. It seems hard because he is I but a boy but since boys of his age , seem to be committing most of the 1 . crimes these days, it looks as though ] - we would have to get hard. Leading writers in the fashion columns oT French newspapers deI elare that bobbed hair and short skirts have come to stay and so long as reason is used and comfort, only is the target, the public will say alright. ! . but its tough on the girls who have been letting their hair grow for- three or four months and who had their new ' dress made to cover their knees. Os course if the trouble we seem to be drifting into with Nicaragua ends there, it will probably not be. very serious, but we should remember that other Latin countries of Central and South America are likely to join with them if opportunity arises and I that several European countries I would like nothing better than a chance to take a good bard slam at the U. 8. A. The administration at Washington insists that they are right in their Nicaraguan policies which seems to be heading them closer to war each day but so far there are a good many million people not convinced that its any of our business whether they have what we term fair elections down there or not. From what we have seen of them in this country we have considerable to do here in the wuy of purified elections without dabbling In Nicaraguan affairs. Tin- monument to be erected in New York City to the late Oscar' Straus will be the third to be creel-j ed to a Jew in this country, it is to honor a man who rendered g reat services to the United States. He was

ambassador to Turkey under Cloves lund, McKinley and Taft- President Roosevelt named him a member of the Haguo court and President Wilr son, recognizing his great ability and service, continued him a member. He t was distinguished the world over for , ( his unselfish devotion to humanity, as was shown during the Armenian j massacres In Turkey in the nineties, 2 and his arduous efforts for world-wide J peace.—Hartford City News. ) 5 ) Surveys made by leading business men of the country how the per cent- ) age which should be expended in vari lous Hues of business (or advertising. , They claim that specialty stores should appropriate five and one-half per cent of last years volumn, department stores 4.67%, groceries !.- 63%, drug stores 2.7(5%, clothing stores 3.11%, shoes 2.65%, furniture 3.73%, hardware 1.12% and jewelry 2.85%. These figures are given at this season because the year is just starting and 1928 Is going to reward the fighters. Start boosting your business now, in sane, judicious and persistent advertising. Os course in telling you this we are boosting our own game but if its sound argument, it must also boost yours. 'America owes its industrial and social growth largely to the telephone All of Russia, a country of 140,009,000 population has only half as many telephones as the city of Minneapolis. Our national total of 18,000,000 telephones is more than there are in all other countries combined. Each day 172,000,000 telephone calls are completed in the United States. The tremendous effect of this instant intercommunication can be easily seen. In imagination look back fifty years; it seems impossible that business could exist and flourish with the communication disadvantages the pioneer had to meet. The telephone has changed all that, and our leadership over other nations has increased, seemingly, in direct ratio to our telephone development. It is most appropriate for men of means to make a gift to an obscure community which is their birthpla .'e, of a model "little red schoolhouse." Sometimes a successful man makes a donation extending the magnitude of the gift into many thousands of dollars. That was the case with Owen D. Young, who gave such a school to his native village. Van Hornesville, New York, where he began life at the bottom of the ladder. He wanted this school to represent a step upward from the little one-rooin single teacher school of his boyhood, and to be the kind of a school he did not have as a boy. He has set a splendid example to men of means who owe their success in life to the simplicity and soundness of rural life as a builder of character. —The Manufacturer. o— — *¥¥.¥¥¥ ->-¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * >;¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥'/, Friday’s Five Best Radio Features WOO, Philadelphia, 349—8:15 EST— Princeton Triangle Club in "Napoleon Passes.” WEAF. hookup, S EST—Cities Service hour.
