Do you really mean that you don’t care enough about an Old Home Week to subscribe five dollars? You might have some fun by seeing how many of your friends can name the list of candidates for governor in Indiana. Forty-seven thousand more automobile licenses have been issued in Indiana the first two months of this year than in all of 1927. That perhaps explains where some of the' money is going. Now that basketball is out of the road in this county the youngsters can get down to the business of pre- ■ paring for the final "exams’’ which ‘ are also quite important along edu-' cational lines. Unless something like interest is manifest this week, we promise you i to quit harping about Old Home' Week. If we are to pass it up there I is no reason why we should keep coaxing or scolding all summer. It is perhaps not nearly important that the big interests gave a million or two to the campaign of 1920 as is that they will give a similar amount this year. Wonder if they will and if so, what clever scheme will be used to cover it up. It looks like the plans are to put i on a "full dinner pail” campaign this . year, which is alright it you happen to own stock in one of the largest corporations but hard on just the ordinary fellows. We want to see just how far they can put it over this’ year. Governor Jackson wishes to he a • member of the Tit-large delegation to the republican national convention,' evidently taking his release from' jeopardy under the statute of limita- | tions as a complete "whitewash” for everything he has done. He may' land it for politics is a peculiar or- i ganizatiou and sometimes the poli- ■ ticians can’t see very far. There is every indication that the ' republican bosses of Indiana are de-! termined to keep the old gang in con-I trol, which makes it imperative to change the complexion of office holders at Indianapolis. We do not believe that under any circustamces will the people knowingly continue the present regime for another lour years. There is considerable talk just now of a third political party, made up of those dissatisfied in both the democratic and republican ranks. Just how these could be congregated under one banner is not explained, but such a patty will be no sooner organized than it will begin to disintergrate. The thing to do is to keep the old parties together and use your .isfiucnce is make better agencies for government. Herbert Hoover, leading republican candidate for president is the same Hoover who in 1918 urged a democratic congress to support President Wilson. If as it has been often claimed that plea prevented the election of a democratic congress and consequently tied the Lands of that body

< for two long and weary years, why would the country be ertury about him now? We confess that this 1928 brand of politics is a little deep of J plot “• t The Commodores and Kirkland basI ketball teams mad egood showings in ’ the Catholic state tournament and the regional high school, the St. Joe boys going to the semi-finals and the ' Kangaroos to the finals. The huskies , from Kirklaud gave Fort Wayne (Jen--5 tral a big scare and came near bringj lug home the bacon and a trip to the ) new field house thia week. Adams I county folks were pulling for you aud the fact that you gave the best you had is the biggest thing about it all. We are proud of you. Senator Jim Watson refuses to bei lleve that the state which has stood by him through thick and thin, a good deal of both, for thirty-five years, will ■ turn their backs upon him uow when he is seeking a place on the natioual ticket and he will fight. Hie back is against the wall for he realises., that , to lose now would forever close his political career The Hooverites are just as determined that their man shall have the support of the thirtythree votes from Indiana. They are busy now lining up their forces and it will be a battle without gloves. A Mrs. Woodside out In Kansas City tried to punish her daughter in the old fashioned method of the woodshed. The daughter had her arrested and a modem judge fined the mamma a hundred dollars in lieu of which Mrs. Woodside went to jail. Then (other mothers fearing a similar fate and a flapper revolt begged the judge to reconsider his verdict which he ' did. However he advised the mothers to use "deterniiuation of mind” in correcting children and a paddle "sixteen inches long and rather thiu.” i Times have changed and its doubtful i wether for the best or not. Another jury in California has found William Edward Hickman guilty of murder and he is to be sentenced to imprisonment for life. He and Welby Hunt were found guilty Saturday of the murder of Ivy Toms, a druggist, in December, 1925. and both sent up for life. Since Hickman is to be hung soon for the murder of little Marion Parker, this seems superficial to most folks but it at least ought to serve in keeping him locked up the rest of his lite, in case any slip should occur in the previous conviction. Ten of the jurors it is claimed were for the death penalty but the two talked them out o This is a time of all others or at least for many years when it is most 1 important that you trade at home and patronize those merchants who I aid you and your communities by assisting in civic affairs and by serv- , ing you in the best manner. Every dollar you seud away from home is gone. Every dollar you spent at home ! stays here and you have another ! chance of meeting it some day. Remember that the outsider doesn’t pay ( for a single brick in your streets, a globe on your lights, a dollar for ' schools or churches or Old Home ' Week. A real booster is one who helps his conunuuity by spending his money there. Live and let live. The greatest honor that can come to an individual player in a state basketball tournament is to be awarded the medal for best sportsmanship displayed and it is a source of genuine gratification that in the recent Catholic tournament that honor was awarded to Fred Mylott of this city. . "Pete” as he is familiarly known here is an efficient and hard player on his [ team, but he plays fair and accepts , always with courage and a smile the • rulings of the referee. He attracted . much attention among the sport writ- > ers and the judges at the tournament r and his selection tor this great honor : n: unasfacas and consequently popular.

“Red Head or Quiet Cutie”—Names Supplied At Wisconsin I s Date Shop

Madison. Win. —<U.R>~ 'Dates that Don't Disappoint,", is the Slogan of Wisconsin University’s latest expertmeat—The Date Shop, which is doing a laud office business under the Supervision of Stanley Aranoff. philanthropic sophomore. "Wanna blonde? "Readhead? "Hot-stepper? "Book noser? "Quiet cutie?" queries Stanley from behind the counter of his new establishment. "All right, here you are” he passes out a neatly typewritten slip containing the name. atidress and accomplishments of an appropriately designed co-ed. And another soul, swathod in grizzly bear garments and iron hat. plunges into the night, made supremely happy by visions of a full evening ahead. Aranoff. whp originated the idea aft ter watching the jaded and friendless lives of shy and unknown students and co-eda, is a campus uplifter and the most up-to-date type. He worried long and late over the sad fate of the dormitory boys, lacking in social glitter, but yearning to meet some "nice kid," and of many co-eds longing for a chance to meet a good boy and see a show now and then. "Student social life stagnation," is the way Aranoff labeled conditions. He decided to change the awkward situation and the "Date Shop" is the result Here lonely ones can leave their names and complete description, happy in the knowledge that soon they will be dated with others of like habits, looks and —size. "Yes, size is Important," Aranoff explained. Tm careful never to date tall girls with short men. or gangling youths with ponderous piano punchers. Moderation in all things is my motto," He added that all the dating is not from the masculine side. “It may be the effect of leap year, but many a coed has called me asking to get a date with an apreciative male student. 1 do my best and usually these meeting turn out as satisfactory as when con-

ditions are reversed." What are the charges tor such monumental services? None! "I like to see them happy, that's •**." Aranoff deelated. .— —o —— Boy, 11.
