Candidates for county offices must file their declarations with the county clerk between March 9th and April 7th, so its nearly time for those with the "bet" to make up their minds. The Bluffton Banner seems to be worried because no candidates for the democratic primary have appeared, hut there will probably be plenty before its time to print the ballots. Vsua'ly when such announcements start others soon become interested. The mayor of Wabash took the authority to extend the time limit for securing automobile plates to February 15th, but the state police decided that the mayor had no right to do that and pounced down on them with a determination to clean things up. A compromise until next Monday was finally made. Young Walsh who is defending Hlc'rman at Los Angsleb says he is not to get a cent for his labor. He Is advertising. Thats why ho is working so hard in hopes of making a reputation as a great criminal defense lawyer. It may work as it has with others but its rather a coldblooded means of climbing the ladder of fame. "With Frank C. Dailey of Indianapolis, and Mr. Frederick of Kokomo, as examples of the material offered by the democratic party, the opposition leaders will realise that they must present a candidate of more than ordinary capacity and appeal. Mr. Dailey made an enviable record as United States district attorney and has been a leader in his profession since retiring from that office. He has the respect of voters in both parties, as Mr. Frederick has."—lndianapolis Star. I — A Fayetteville, Arkansas, woman, sixty-five years old has just entered the University of Arkansas to take a course in journalism. She yearned for an education as a girl but had to quit school to help her family, then married and raised a family of cigli' children. With those jobs completed she will now begin her life plans. She has her hair bobbed, her dresses shortened, and is as snappy as any of the youngsters at tho university, it is claimed. We are living in an age when you may expect any thing. We remember when grandma was fifty we thought she was marking time. We have no explanation as to why the earl and west road through this city wns not included j<j the two him dred miles added to the state system os announced yesterday by the state commissioner. We have had promises from the members individually and collectively that this road would be taken over last cummer and at least three different times, dates were fixed when the members would come hero to decide upon the location through this county, so that naturally the announcement leaving tic entirely <>ul was somewhat of a surprise. We hare written for Information and arc hoping that everything is not lost yet Though one out of every twelve pci’soM In this country Is now drawlug s' nte kind of a salary from the

government, township, state or county or federal, those in power go right on establishing more offices until there Is danger of us reaching that stage which Germany had a few years r - ago when the army reached such prol portions that every laboring man was said to "carry a soldier on his back," p « meaning each man who worked had ( to pay taxes enough to pay salary and expenses of one soldier. ~ week Senator Robinson Introduced a j bill providing for two federal judicial 5 districts In Indiana with two com--3 plete sets of officials. Every one ® knows that this is not really needed j and is not economical, but it provides more officers for the organization. Its dangerous folks and somu day, some p'ace, this ever lAercasing army of political snap holders must be reduced » ————— Gridley Adams of Now Rochelle, N. Y., chairman of the National Flag Code Committee, tells a congressional committee that flag ethics are vio- ■ lated even by the White House. The eagle on the president’s flag, it seems 1 points the wrong way. This has pain- ’ ed Mr. Adams, and he wants some--1 thing done about it. Probably he’s 1 right. Those sticklers for points of etiquette usually are. But somehow, for the life of us, we can't get excited 1 about it. We hope It is not unpatriotic for us to remark that there is just a wee bit too much fussing about the "ethics of the flag." After al’, the flag itself is the important thing The symbol of our countiy and th? love we have fqr it; an emb'em of our patriotism. So that it be honored in spirit, who cares whether formal details be absolutely letter perfect? Too much officious attention to minor points doesn’t do a bit of good.—Connorsvillo News-Examiner. While the time for hiring schorl teachers for next year is some time In the distance, there are many of th teachers throughout the state who ar a'ready beginning to worry about the law that was passed by the last legislature, known as tho teacher tenure law. Under this law any teach.r who is engaged for tile fifth continuous year in any one school must "Tie given a permanent contract. The only way to break this contract is to tile charges and give the teacher a public trial. Many of the schools in this county and in many of the counties of the state even last year, refused to abide by the law and many changes were made in the teaching force. Some of the cities paid no heed to the law, but the matter will come up again in a few weeks. Many of the teachers now want to know their fate for the coming year, so that if they arc to be let out they can look elsewhere for a job. The law is prac- . tically making tramps of the teacher, 1 or, at least has worked that way so far. Here in Bluffton we have many i teachers who have been iu the school for many years, all capable and no fault to find with their work, but under the very law that was supposed Io he of benefit they may lose out under this teacher tenure bill. — Bluffton Banner. ***«**<»■»***** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * K ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥’.’ FRIDAYS FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK—hookup 7 PM Citips Service hour.

In what? Oh. yes. We’l6 talking about “T’m Ho”"the famous Victor— Mapes —Willie Collier play that is to be p.esenttu at the Majestic Theatre all next week, Februaiy sth to 11th. It’s a bear. It wi l giv yea on,? of the greatest evenings of entertainment that you have had a chjnce to enj.y in many a nuj?. When "The Hottentot" was originally .Otell it went to tile toad and for we--'is its authors worked and worked, wrote and re-wrote to make the play as near perfection as poss hie. With a distinguished cast, headed by Mr. Collier himself, the piece st.rmed Broadway. It was a success over night and remained sos a long and successful run. A few weeks ago it was released for stock and as a result the people of Fort Wayne and vicinity now have the opportunity of witness ng one of New York’s biggest hits, played by a collection of capable actors and actresses and at a figure within the means of all. The action of "Th£ Hottentot’’ revolves about cne of the most gripping love stoiies that has been written for the stage in ages. The young couple are brought together; opposition developes there is the other man and : series of complications, leading up to the big climax of the p'ay, that make it seem that love’s young dream is never going to come true. While "The Hottentont" is essentially a laugh medium there are many of those tense moments that make yo” lean forward in your seat; those little thrills that send a shiver up and dost your spinal column Bound together they furnish one of the most unusual evening’s entertainments you have ever enjoyed. Owing to tile heavy demand for tickets, it is suggested that you make your reservations for next week at once, If you have not already done so, since to miss "The Hottentot" would he to lose one of the greatest opportunities of the season.

Craigville Citizens Want Paved Highway Bluffton, Feb .3.— (INS) — County Highway Stipe tintendent C. E. Hyde, Thursday, received a visit from 11 delegation of Craigville citizens, who Intorviewtd him re'ativu to a wish to have constructed north and south through the town of Craigville a hard surface highway. The road aa proposed would extend In both directions from the town and would have a lotal length of one mile. I The Idta when the matter was ed was to have the road constructed possibly from the count) ii. B ii.»'ay maintenance fund. but County Superintendent Hyde said that he had insufficient funds in bls department to make an expenditure of that amount on a stretch of road of that length. Sitpt. Hyde suggested that the improvement might be brought about by a petition to tlie county commiemisslonors. Under this plan there is said to be two methods open, either to award a contract or to have a 1» vy made for the purpose, with constru ’tion work under the highway department’s supervision. The tentative proposal Is a roadway with an asphaltic surface, using the present roadbed, with widening and additional foundation. o New York. — Mike McTigue has started training for his bout with Leo Lcn-.ski, the Aberdeen (Wash.) assassin. in Madison Square Garden, Friday night. o blackheads >to°t •’tubborn cases c r blackheads, I'tnples and blotches yie’d to Row'es Mentho sulphur.
