Moonshine is blamed for a Chicago brawl which resulted in the death of two men and fatal injuries to a third. It will do it when properly administered we understand. Dazzy Vance claims that a game of i golf will take off twelve pounds of weight, but if some of the modern girls played the game about eight or nine days and that average maintained, they would simply evaporate. — We hope to close our campaign for renewal of subscriptions to the Daily Democrat by mail, with every .member I of our big family in good standing. Won't you help us do that if you have . overlooked it by renewing this month? < The republican press thinks the congressional record published daily a« terrible waste of money. We should think they would for a lot of things : are now being published in that record which will cost them much money.. millions perhaps, to counteract. We doubt if the investigators can pin any thing worth while on President Coolidge, Charles E. Hughes or Governor Al Smith and we don’t be-. lieve any one expects to. Some of ■ those who are being strung perhaps I feel that if they make the charges I general, they will be passed up, but . they won't be. The public should know the truth and let it hurt parties ’ or individuals as it may. — .Meredith Nicholson, famous Indiana author wisely advises a return to the | Golden Age of yesteryear by cultivat-1 ing again "that spirit of neighborli-' ness which typified the Indiana of another day" and tjiat they turn again to the old fashioned religion, i Nicholson is right. We are all too selfish and too oblivious to the fact that we live best when we serve others. George Coffin, republican chairman ' of Marion county, indicted with Gov- i ernor Ed Jackson for attempting to I bribe former Governor McCray, an-; pounces that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself. He is to go on trial in May on the conspiracy charge. Evidently he does not believe with the governor in forcing himself upon his party or the people which is at least one point in his 'favor. For some reason or other we don’t hear any thing about Old Home Week. .Guess most of us didn't want it near ’as much as we thought we did. We -don't understand it but we are will- • ing to submit to your decision. On ..the other hand we should certainly not sit still and let the year go by . without some kind of a celebration. .’Perhaps you have some other idea. *lt you have, won't you please send it ■ in so we can pass it on to the public. Senator Couzins has offered a long 'resolution demanding the resignation ..of Andrew J. Mellon as secretary of the treasury, asserting four causes, 'all of which the senator has known ' for years, so it seems rather useless to make the change now after we have stood it seven years and since ♦ the secretary will probably step out ■next March. However, IL shows that every thing is not as peaceful in Washington as a smooth running ad-

ministration should be. A Portland couple, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B Reed, married fifty years . ago, have come to the parting of the ■, ways. Mrs. Reed having sued her 1 husband for a divorce. No sadder story can be written than this and it Is to be hoped that they forgive and forget and spend the evening of their , lives in peace and happiness. Surely ) there are some memories during that * I long period of happy married life j i that if properly presented would > 1 make this possible. I I I The corn borer is doing one good thing for the farmers. It is drawing I them together to fight in unison for a common cause, their own best Interests, and that by the way is the smartest thing they can do. If the 1 farmers of this nation were thoroughly’ organized they would rule the I roost. Wlfy they should produce the crops for the rest of the folks and ' then have nothing to say as to price . i is now and always has been a puzzle to those who believe in a fair shake for every one. The meetings being held in this county this week are of sufficient importance that every i farmer who can should attend. Prohibition is losing out in Indiana according to the leaders of the old prohibition party in session in Indianapolis now to name candidates for the coming campaign. We agree with them and we believe it is serious. In the old days, before we had what is now called by many, prohibition, a continuous campaign against I the use of alcoholic beveridges was made and gradually the use of such health destroying liquors diminished, i In recent years we seem to have depended almost entirely on legislation to bring about desired results and it ♦ doesn't seem to work alone. Its a ; subject worth thinking about and talking about. "The democrats are having their ( troubles in Indiana and plenty of | I them," announces the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. Well, We don't have j , to defend Jackson or Schortemeier. ' Robinson or Watson, Albert Fall or Daugherty, Walb or Coffin and a long line of others that can be mentioned. If the democrats are having trouble in Indiana, what in the Sam Heck do i they call their own hash? The defense of the ambitious republicans ’ seems to be a desire to mix up some I democrats. We ask you, if interested, ■to compare the administrations in Indiana the past twelve years with ■those under Governor Tom Marshall ' and Governor Sam Ralston. «¥*¥¥¥<l»¥¥¥¥«* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO • WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BE3T RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1928. by United Press) Central standard time throughout. i WEAF, hookup, 8 p. m. —American Magazine hour. ; WOR, hookup, 9 p.m.—Schubert centennial concert.

Origin's. The Deirel-Wemmer Co., MaUri-Eneblbhed 1884 KIEFER-STEWART CO., INDIANAPOLIS — , — - _ Motorists Are Praising i IsoVis! Iso=Vis is used and praised everywhere in the ten states of the Middle West. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has received thousands of letters from all parts of its territory —written by enthusiastic customers who voluntarily have taken the trouble to tell of their personal experiences with Iso=Vis. Here are a few quotations selected at random: I am pleased to tell you of the success I have had with Iso-Vis Heavy in my Oakland Sedan. lam traveling on the road with a Dry Goods Concern out of St. Louis, Mo, and do considerable hard driving. I ran my car 2025 miles on, one filling of Iso-Vis, adding but three quarts in this time. When the oil was drained it had a wonderful body and color left. —Thos. E. Bayer, 316 West Ave, Clayton, Mo. I wish to express my appreciation of the Standard Oil Company’s latest achievement in lubricating oils —lso=Vis. I am now able to drive my Ford Coupe around 1500 miles without changing oil. And 1 am obtaining the most wonderful results of any motor oil I have ever used. —J. S. Bernens, South Bend, Ind. I purchased a five gallon can of Iso-Vis and have continued to use it ever since. Am more than pleased with the results. It seems to give life to the motor and it also appears to run smoother. I change the oil every 1500 miles and the oil drained seems to have sufficient body for an additional 500 miles. In mv judgment Iso-Vis is the best oil on the market. —Leo Deeswister, 818 Cherry St, Mt Carmel, 111. Maybe you’ve wondered how a new motor oil could become famous so fast. There are plenty of reasons for the popularity of Iso=Vis! Ask any motorist who has used it! It’s such a remarkable oil and it gives such remarkable results that people want to talk about it —tell their friends what extraordinary service it has given them. Iso-Vis has aroused widespread enthusiasm because it is the first motor oil to give constant lubricating efficiency—to keep a uniform an<i proper body throughout its service. Iso=Vis is the constant viscosity motor oil—and if you’ll try it once you’ll learn just how much that means! At any Standard Oil Service Station and at licensed garages.
