There is one good thing about the cold waves this year, they don’t stay long, though they have a habit of coming suddenly. The prosperity of the average farmer probably depends on whether he reads a partisan republicun newspaper or his bank book. i You have just one week in which to secure your new automobile plates if you comply with the law und the thirty days of grace given by the state department. Better get busy. If the Old Home Week committees can plan a campaign which will make every body in this community join hands for the common cause of en- ' ti rtaining our guests it will be worth 1 the omuey. The closer together our 1 people cling the better for every one 1 concerned. i' Charlie Jewett who is making an anti-klux campaign for the republican nomination for governor may be sincere, but why in tin world didn’t, he ’ say so two years ago when thu.caii " to arms was sounded by that veteran i Thomas Adams, of the Vincennes Commercial? ( Governor Jackson will have a sep- ' arate trial. Just why we do not know 1 but it Is presumably for some advantage. The serious thing about it all is that a governor charged with j so serious a crime as conspiracy to bribe a previous governor should be willing and anxious to put his cards on the table instead of trying to get by through technicalities. Politics is warming up. locally, in Hu- state and nationally and there is every indieutlon Hint the campaign will be one of the most interesting j ever conducted with several new issues. There is certainly a need fori for a shaking up in Indiana and we feel sure they -cun't make if much worse than ii. has been. We thought Luke Duffy was bluffing when he offetred to give his 176 acres of farm land in Pulaski county to I President (kiolidge but lie has sent the deed am to Washington with a warning Unit he will have to he very careful anil efficient to prevent, the farm going deeper into debt. It car- i ries a mortgage for $3,500 and is assessed for tuxes for $6,600. Evidently I fik has given up trying to make it fto From •what we can hear Senator Ti .ii Hetflin of Alabama has not. only disgustiil the country with his tirades but has* turned the people of his own state directly against him. The l newspapers of his home state are tell-1 Ing him what the senate evidently was afraid, to, that they do not approve of coursa and that he was nominated in a primary in which he received but twentty-cight per cent of the vote. Mrs. Myrtle Miller of Chicago, loves the thrill of getting married but evidently Is not so wild abbut remainfiling harnessed. Though hut thirty’ tine years old she has oul-Joyced the Champion auarrying movie- slur, Peggy Joyce. She has been married si* times and is now ready to go to the altar tile seventh lime and all her ex-

husbands are living. She kedps a j lawyer employed by the year to at-i tend to her matrimonial business. Poor old Lindy, Idol of America , und the wot Id, is near u breaking point in health it has been announc--1 -ti and yet he will My to South Amer-* , lea und has a program of activities which continue until February 6th. He is game and will keep It up as > long us he can but the strain is such 1 that he may "blow up" any time. This ' of course should not ue permitted for | i he is far too valuable a citizen to 1 break down. — ———— If a woman became a candidate for sheriff moat of us would think ii a joke, but there is one over in Dekalb i county, Illinois, who has proven she , Is more capable than many men 1 would be. She has decided that it is not necessary to feed her prisoners ( on the "fat of the land" and each evening feeds them mush, plenty of it, but Just old fashioned mush. The other night they refused to eat and then refused to return to their cells The woman jailer whose name is Mrs. Dolder and who was appointed to i succeed her husband at the laters death, hooked up the fire hose, order- , ed her assistant to turn on the water | and in about two minutes had every one of the prisoners back where he ' t belonged. The next evening they ate , mush without a grumble. —...— ' J We are sugar eaters in this country, the figures disclosing that every man, ] woman and child in the United States is eating 109 pounds annually, 1 while we eat but seventy-seven t pounds of bread per capita. We t would not attempt to argue whether f thats a good thing for our health or j bad, for we do not claim to know, but ’ f it perhaps accounts considerably why 1 so many of us find it difficult to stay slim. We also eat eighty-five pounds ; of pork, seventy-seven pounds of beef, I .200 eggs, seventeen pounds of butter 1 'each, and drink 224 quarts of imilk. While we produce only one-sixth of l the sugar consumed in this country, we use four times as much as the in habitant* of any other country. Only -eight per cent of our sugar is produced by the beet industry. These are figures we ore sure will be of interest » o *¥*»¥*•»•***♦♦» * BIG FEATURES *' * OF RADIO ::¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥E TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURED WEAF—Hookup 8:00 Pm.
