A dozen old timers have written us uheady that they are coming bock for Old fiome Week. The big campaign to make this an event worth talking about will start soon. The new Indiana license plate Is pleasing to look at but our guess is that it will be just as hard to read as the old one after you've been run over by an automobile. Now what will happen when they move that bottle of fifty-year-old whiskey from the old court house corner stone to the new? Won't some one he guilty of possession? No folks, its not because we are afraid of a hurricane that we don't go down to Florida for the rest of the winter. There are a million reasons, but only one is necessary—the freight rate. Li ad pencil manufacturers report the largest business In years. Well, its taken a lot of figuring to make ends meet for the average business than, farmer and laborer the past year or so. Don't let the month slip by without renewing your subscription to the Dally Democi at. We want yon on the list, we are sure you want the news of 1928 and we are planning to give it to you in a more complete manner than ever. The month is slipping along and we are advised that it is most important that every automobile owner has his new license plates by February Ist. By the way, if you drive over into Ohio, better have them on now for there the law is strictly enforced beginning .January Ist. It is good news that the bonds hav • finally been sold for the Schulte, Wemhoff and Hurst paved roads, approaches to this city. The contract was let last autumn to Phil L. Mack lin and Sons and the roads will be built during the spring and summer, adding to the real improvements of this township. If Mrs. Snyder, Judd Cray and the others who have been convicted of murder are to Iw executed, it should be done without delay and - without i legal entanglements that create sobb- 1 ings of one kind and another over the country. One of the worst things we know of is to discuss for years thmerits o) such necessary penalties. Os course its terrible but so were the crimes they cownitted. It must be gieat tun to operate the University of Texas. That luatitutioii owns piotiucing oil lands and has accumulated morn than 320,000.000 in the treasury. They can pay any kind . of salaries, but any equipment, do most any thing taey wish and don't have to bribe a single legislator. It ought to be soft (or the sport coaches and trainers down there. Because the damages paid by the county for the killing of sheep and Poultry by dogs was more than $6,000, of which but $1,500 was available, leaving a deficit ut about >1.600, and t since under the laws of the state these damages must now be paid by I Ute county, the board of commissioners have found it. necessary to Increase the dog tax from >1.50 to >2.50 on males and $3 00 to $5.00 on fe nudes. There is nothing to do but f

pay it or get rid of tho “doggoued" T dog. After all a good dog is worth It and a poor one is not worth keeping around and who wants a sheep killer anyway? E ■ T. it The Delta Theta Tuu sorority has just published Its annual report sho.vr' lug the expenditure of the 1272 sub- | scribed for the Good Fellows club (2 and spent to make Chtistmas a happy 0 occasion for the poor children of the 'g community. Its a splendid work and .0 one which should be and we believe 5 is appreciated by the public for they 0 cover the city in a systematic way, avoiding duplications and taking care of all the needy at that particular time. - | -V 0 Walter Myers, who is a Candidate for United States senator is telling the people what he believes in which Is our Idea of what a candidate for , such an office should do. You have t the right to know just what his ideas are on the greatest questions. In a i recent speech at Cayuga, Mr. Myers said: "Although nearly every other business has an indirect subsidy, any . aid to the farmer is opposed as a , subsidy. If artificial aid is right for I other businesses it is right for the farmer. If it is wrong for other buslinesses, its wrong for the farmer. Then, if a wroiig condition exists, the farmer should not suffer from discrimination in the meantime.” That sounds sound. Tlie war in which we are now engaged in Nicaragua is a little war. but it is still war and war, you know, as General Sherman said, big or little, is hell. Our losses are qot heavy, six marines killed and twenty-eight wounded —but they are, nevertheless war losses. A hurry call has reached Washington for hospital supplies and i eiuforcements. Small though it it, it is a real war. Our enemies ate chai acterized as bandits and rebel t. Whether they are rebels against the t’nited States or the government oi Nicaragua is a rather important (question. Against whomever the rebellion is directed we are engaget in suppressing it and at considerable loss in lives and money. It Is not 1 likely that our little war will develoj into a big war, but there are, never theless, unpleasant possibilities. That they may never b° converted inlr. actualities will be the hope of all on, people.—lx»gansport Press.

SIAMESE TWINS BORN i TO DENVER COUPLE FAIL TO SURVIVE Denver, —(INS) —Joined together in a fashion similar io the union between Eng and Chang, the famous SlameOi twins, twin sons were recent!' bora to Mr. ami Mrs. Cat 1 Putnlk, of Denver. Physicians declare this is thi,- first event of its kind in the annuls of DenI ver medical hist ry. One of tho infants was dead at birth hut the othe: sut vived long enough for | the attending physician to hold mo- > mentary hope of resuscitation. An XRay was taken of the pair shortly after the living member breathed his last. This plate was expected to give groat aid in the study of such unions The babies were said to have been joined by a muscular tissue at the ab-i domen, als by a cartllaginous connection that held the two in a face Io face position. Surgeons forwarded the theory the Putnlk twins could not have been separated, altho it was thought that the two had Individual organs. Examination showed no other abnormality other than tly»t the bone and muscle connections. . Although a number of cases are on record wherein twins were joined together at the hips, spinal column cr shoulders, Denver doetc.s declare the frontal connection is without precedent. The Siamese twins, born in 1811, of Chinese parentage are the cnly pair on record that lived to an old age. Eng and ('hank raised separate families, had distinct mental and psychological processes, ahd both died, as the Denver twins did, soon after the first ceased to breath. o Gets Two Years For Insincere Applause Florence.
