And Bill Thompson claims Chicago is the best governed city in the world. If you can't get a laugh out of that today, you are getting old and pessimistic. Old man Small seems to have taken or undertaken to take the pitcher to the well once too often. He and his crowd seem to have got their's in yesterdays rough and tumble election. How about it? Does the house need repairs this year? Don't you want to make it modern? There never was a better time and probably won't be for several years. Plan to do it this year or better yet, build a new one. Wool and leather are increasing in price according to reports from the stock markets which won’t be so bad if it means more money for the producers of these articles and without too great an increase in the finished product. While the telephones are down we will appreciate it if our rural patrons will send in their news by mail. It is impossible to get through by telephone in many parts of the county, most of them in fact and wo will be gad to receive our items by mail, promising you the very best attention we can give. The New York stock market is getting a little unsteady and white we claim no knowledge of such a game its our guess that its about time for the big boys to take the little fellows for a ride down the elevator. It has been a great session the past fewweeks and a lot of fellows have told how they missed (making a fortune. Bombings, machine guns, kidnaping*, assaults on women and men, Chicago was in the hands of thugs gangsters yesterday, while the primary election was on. And we have the nerve to call this free America where the ballot is supposed to count and where we elect officers by means of a fair expression of the people. We retrograde. There is one thing sure—this country will have to enforce the laws, all of them—and do it soon, or there will be civil war simiar to that in Chicago yesterday, all over the laud. We are breeding trouble and it seems that it ought to be easily discerned by the wise men of the country, many of whom encourage it rather than discourage it. The baseball season is open and for the next six months the National game will attract the interest of those who love outdoor sports, growing as the season advances and culimiuating next autumn with the world series. Ilsa great old game and we hope they keep it clean and above criticism. Thais what has made it jo popular for so long a time. Frank Knott over at Columbia City lost a seven-up-game and'it made him so mad that he went before the justice of peace and filed affidavits

against himself, his opponent and the proprietor of the pool roam. It cost each of them twenty dollars and broke up the game. Anyway he was decent enough to include himself in , the ralß. ’ If the evidence of Clarence Ludlow, * a witness intthe suit to oust the klan from Pennsylvania, can be subsautiated, it looks like a good time for , Hiram Evans to drop out of the couni try. Things might get rather warm ' for him If it can really be proven that he directed the reign of terror as described by Ludlow. Any way, he is I certainly slipping. President Coolidge declares tho Haugen-McNary bill unconstitutional, i but a lot of large sized students of political economy decare It is no more; so than the tariff or some of the other measures of protection. Though I the probabilities are that the bill will be vetoed again, this will not dispose of IL The people will eventually have to express their opinions at the ballot box. It looks like a real issue. ■ They are having a rather difficult time it seems establishing the residence of Mr. Hoover. He has spent most of his time in other lauds, returning to America for an occasional visit until after the World War. About the time his supporters get one story all fixed up they come along with another one and they have to start all over and explain it again. It must be a somewhat discouraging job. The day light saving joke is up again iu Fort Wayne and we understand is to be brought before the council here soon. It is claimed the sentiment iu favor of such a change of time during the summer-is stronger than ever before and may’ be look- ( ed upon with favor. We don't comprehend the argument for changing the time and thus disturbing the routine of many but we presume we will have to put up with it if it is so decided. What do you think about it? Last year we took a vote of the sentiment through the paper and it was overwhelmingly against such 'a change. According to the census taken by the Christian Herald and considered authentic, the churches of the United States gained 573,000 in membership . last year, best evidence that the world is not backing up as much as many uninformed would have us believe. Os this number the Catholic church gained 183,889; the Methodist, 150,910; the Lutheran, 67,879; the Baptist, 41,712; the Presbyterian, 13,580; the Reformed, 6,617; the United Brethren, 3,213; the Mennonite, 7,234; the Lat-1 tcr-Day Saints, 8,769, and the Decip'tes of Christ, 34,801, according to the Herald. o I * ¥¥¥¥¥«i>¥¥¥¥¥*| * BIG FEATURES *1 * OF RADIO * g«***¥¥¥¥¥¥¥S WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR—Newark (422) and WEAF New York 2:10 pm.
