The dairy business is one that any community will profit by if they , boost it ana once started it is sure to become permanent and to grow for there are so many benefits to every one. There were twenty-five hundred less deaths in Indiana last year than j in 1526. a decline of about one per; cent, but this gain was balanced up by the fact that but 62,251 babies, came to Indiana in 1927 as compar-' cd to 62,785 the year previous. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is weeping a lot of “crocodile tears" be cause an Alabama fanatic has been shooting off his bazoo in tho senate. We admit he is excess baggage but still he Is perhaps no .more of a load than Governor Jackson, Mayor Duvall and some of the others are to tho Indiana republicans. Perhaps young Eddie Thqmas, the ■ niw prosecuting attorney of Al'en county really means business. He I starts off his term as though he did. In office less than month he starts a round of raids that has brought to court a large number of bootleggers., He has a lot of people wondering just what it all means any way. Be careful how and where you fly your airplane. Bert Acosta, famous trans-Atlantic flyer, who made the trip overseas with Commander Byrd a few months ago Is in jail at New Haven, Connecticut, on a charge of flying too low over the town of Naugutuck. Witnesses say he even attempted to fly beneath a bridg arch. He got a fine of $19.51 and five days in the lock-up. « ■ iiMwau if we will all do what we can to make Old Home Week a success, we can have one that will make everybody glad they came home and everybody here just as happy. It- should be a concerted effort by the entire community and thats the idea the committees are trying to work out. We hope you all join hands and circle around the big event. Governor Adams of Colorado, deserves a medal. He has served a whole year and has not granted a single pardon to an inmate of a state prison. We do not believe tho peo-. pie are hard hearted but decent citizens do believe that when men com-: mit crimes and are found guilty, they should serve tho terms given them, unless there is some very unusual reason for a pardon. It might be well to try the lawyers who are defending Hickman in Los Angeles. The “fox’' committed one of the most atrocious murders ever recorded 'in this nation, confessed and bragged about it. Ho has of course the right to decent representation by lawyers but. they certainly have no rights to purposely delay or prevent justice. They should not desire it from any cause wo can imagine Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if the sugar company could increase their acreage to thirteen thousand acres and have a 90,000-tou campaign next autumn? 11 would bring thorn? >.>>• of doiiar- in for exorj one < on-

cerned. the farmer, the laborer and the business o»n, it will help the soil, it will provide another crop to rotate, it assures those who so engage a certain income and it ought to • happen. We hope every farmer who ; feels he can raise beets thin year, will do so. At the meeting of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce last night, I steps were taken to build an appro--1 priate monument to Gene SUation- ' Porter, beloved authoress who made ! the Llmberlost famous. The lot in the center of tae business district used tor years for band concerts, has been deeded to the town by Mrs. Porter’s daughter and the monument will be located there. Twenty men 1 last evening pledged $50.00 each to start the fund, a very splendid thing to do. In the years tq come thousands of visitors will travel there to see the scenes -where Mrs. Porter found so much to write about. Geneva, in the heart of the Llmberlost.■ can be made a famous spot and with | the present organiaztion headed by such live wires as "Billy” Heater and "Dad” Cross, the work should go on with viger. This will attract other activities and is no doubt the very thing around which can be built a larger and a better community, al ways the big desire of chamber of commerce. j — I There seems to be some queer quirk in many men that make them , offer silly excuses when caught in! j crime. The man who killed little ■ I Dorothy Schneider in Michigan told I police that the influence of the Hick- j man crime must have made him do it—it preyed on his mind. Hickman gave as his reason for slaying a little girl in California the desire to attend school in Kansas City, it being bis intention to use the ransom money | that way. Three men arested for robbery of a Kansas bank told police j they “needed the money.” They were out of work or their incomes were insufficient or something like 1 that. Remus killed his wife in Cincinnati and said he did it becaus< , ! she had conspired with another to ruin him. Some day a man is going to come forward and tell a jury that j !he killed or stole because his own selfish self told him to do it—that he sinned because the evil in him for the moment conquered the good—that he was weak and the temptation found him unable to resist —that it was all his own fault and nothing that anybody else ever did had any bearing on it If the jury lives through such a shock as that, it probably will acquit the man who has that much manhood left that he is too brave to hide behind a flimsyexcuse.—Wabash Plain Dealer. o *¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * X ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ 5t FRIDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Hookup 9:00 pm.
