The popular game now is to figure out how much you woujd have made if you had bought General Motors two or three months ago and sold it now. And thats the fine way to play the market—just in your mind. Fred Schortemeier, a republican candidate for governor, made a speech in Fort Wayne the other evening in which he declared that this countryhad never known such prosperity. We agree, it never has. Will Hays will probably, not receive the reception in Paris that the ' unknown Charley Lindbergh did a ; year ago nor for that matter the reception that he would have been given prior to the recent oil investigation. We are living in a changing world. Indianapolis newspapers are getting a great kick out of the Chicago situation. bemoaning thq political situation, which they declare the worst spectacle in American history, which will make many folks feel that, the old story of the "pot calling the kettle back" was more truth than fiction. It may be a little difficult to guess who will manipulate the committee meeting at two o’clock in the morning during the republican national convention to be held next June in Kansas City, but it probably won’t be Mr. Daugherty of Ohio, who put it over in Chicago eight years ago. He has faded from the picture. The state of Michigan has fifteen men who reported earnings last year exceeding a million dollars and one of them took in four million. Thais almost too much for any one man or a dozen men to receive so far as enjoying it is concerned for beyond an income which provides comfort what

can there be to it save trouble? The past forty-eight hours have been about what we have a right to expect during this wild old month of March. A change of forty or fifty degrees in the temperature, snow, rain, sleet, wind and about every thing that should accompany the ’list days of a month predicted to "go out like a lion" because it "came in like a lamb." Bombings and murders in Chicago, four million people out of work, business up down, stock prices soaring ou Wall street and then bursting at frequent intervals, disregard of law. failure of public officials to perform their duties and similar reports of conditions lead us to wonder just when that "normalcy just around the coi ncr” eight years ago is going to arrive and whether or not this is It. It is unlawful to drive your car over a macadam or gravel road in Indiana if the car and load weigh to exceed three tons and it the tires make a rut two incites deep. At this season you can save money for yourself and for every tax payer by watching conditions and by cooperating with those whose duty it is to see that the laws are obeyed. The .state and county commissions are keeping a close watch. It remained for Senator Robiuaou of "birds of a feather” renown, to

discover that the oil scandal which has stirred this nation the past few years, real.y originated with President Wilson, Secretary Josephus Daniels, Secretary Lane and others of the war day period. He failed to create much of a sensation, however, and even the republican press hid the article on back pages. Art is some discoverer. He will awake some day tb find he has been dropped in Indiana completely. There are more than eight million women employed in the United States j these days and one out of four of them are married with husbands, according to Miss Anderson, head of the woman's bureau of labor at Washington. In many cases it is claimed the husband cannot earn enough to supply the modern demands and so it becomes necessary for the wife to help "bring home the bacon." Thats nice in some cases but what will the American home be in another ten or twenty years? A flood similar to that of last year right now might cause the members of congress to change their minds and to favor the measure passed by the senate in two hours without a dissenting vote. Any bill which can chug its way through that body in such record time and without a vote against it must be about right in every particular. However house leaders declare for another bill which

provides for partial payment by the states along the .Mississippi river. We doubt if the oldest citizen can recall a worse sleet storm than that of last night and the entire community, rural and* city, looks like No Man’s Land today. The loss to the telephone and electric companies will be heavy and the trouble men have worked incessantly the past twentyfour hours that all service may continue uninterupted. To the credit of these workers, every power user was able to start the wheels on time this morning and his texphone was operating perfectly. Thats real service under difficulties. Some senator who tried to get funny the other day offered a resolution that American troops be withdrawn from Nicaragua and sent to Chicago. While his effort brought a few smiles in Washington and the east it was not popular comedy in the Illinois city where the conditions have become so serious that school children are being guarded and where hundreds of special policemen are guarding the homes of prominent citizens. They are discovering up there that the breaking down of law is the surest road to troublesome times. F. M. Schirmeyer, president of the O’d Home Week organization has apjxjinted a special committee to take charge of securing members for the club and they will do it. The members are all hustlers, C. D. Teeple, chairman; M. J. Mylott of the Rotary club; Dee Fryback of the Lion's club; Paul Graham of the American Legion
