It looks like an old fashioned Thanksgiving, Christmas. New Years and winter. The president-elect's ship, the Maryland, struck a gale and the party had an experience that wasn't on the program. Such incidents are alright when they turn out alright but lighting a gale at sea is not the happiest experience, we are told, when its on. A Boston man has filed suit for $50,000 damages for the loss of his wife and $2,000 for his baggage, as a result of the sinking of the liner Vestris. He could have been good enough sport to have thrown in the baggage, it seems. Thanksgiving week and a great time to remember that we are the most fortunate people of all the world in a thousand ways. President Coolidge's message is timely and appropriate and every good citizen -agrees with him ami wiil observe the occasion on Thursday. Tile football season is at its close ami we turn now to the great indoor sport of basketball. You may not like this part of the newspaper but millions do and its a line, clean way to relax—thus taking an interest in those things that interest the youngsters primarily. Celebrations are being held already over tlie good will visit of Mr. Hoover to the Latin American countries. It would seem a little better if we waited until we hear or see the results. If its just politics its the bunk, while if its to improve general conditions there will be plenty of time to spread the propaganda. What we know about the Wall street stock boom wouldn't be worth an old fashioned three-cent piece but it sure does look -as though one of these days it will be to the advantage of the big boys to let go and when the bottom drops out, what a shake up its going to be. About the most interesting result of the death of the modern millionaire so far as the public is concerned or cares is what did liq do with his money. They can't take it with them and so what the government muffs on inheritance tax and what isn’t given to the relatives, usually goes to church or school organizations, which is perhaps as good as can be done. Looks as though a farm measure will be enacted in the regular session of congress which convenes next week. If it has merit it will mean added profits for the agriculturists and it will mean an immediate increase in the value of farm lands. The prices on farms has reached the bottom and the wise ones who wish to own one slfould buy now. They are cheaper now than they will be in a year. There are indictaions that the state highway commission will make good by taking over the east ami west road through this county, an act which will make every one here feel like co-operating in any reasonable manner they can. It is a great thing for the future of any community to have these well improved roads and in the near future, they wilt mar k the hus-

I 1 Mrs. Jim Downey of Detroit, has , had six years in politics, serving as j a member of the state central com- • mittee and has come to the conclusion that woman's place is in her own home rather than in some one else's trying to tell them how to’vote. She says the average woman is not interested in the real political issues and makes up her mind as to how she will vote on some trivial thing, so she has decided to go back to her regular business of keeping a happy home for her own family. The new regime iu Chicago may eventually whip the under element which is now in control there but evidently these bruisers of the underworld do not propose to give up without a real struggle. The bombings and killings continue at a rate which shows the hold the criminals have on the second greatest city in America. Tiie fight should have started some years ago. Now there is but one thing to do and that is to fight it through on the plans of Mr. Swanson and other officials there if it takes ten years to complete the clean-up. it seems to have been agreed upon that we are to have an agircultural relief bill very similar to those two vetoed by President Coolidge excepting for tlie equalization fee. That's fine if it works and every body is hoping it will but why couldn't we have had it two or three years ago? The new bill provides for a quarter of a billion dollars with which to handle the surplus of farm products and for a board to manage the affair. There is no doubt that its high time some action is taken and there should be no delay. Pass it quickly and get it to working, should be the motto. According to Harry Kirk, who has charge of the school relief funds of Indiana, more than 125 of the rural high schools are bankrupt and the question of how they can proceed and progress is a very serious one. Such a condition was predicted a tew years ago when the change from the little red school house to the modern township school was contemplated, but there is away and it wiil be found no doubt. After all the education of the children is one of the most important matters of the state and of each separate corporation and proper facilities for that purpose inust and will be provided. However on the other hand good common sense and economy must also be used. Governor Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia, has made it an inviolable rule not to consider any application for pardon or commutation of sentence imposed in the case of men who are convicted of reckless driving while under the influence of liquor. Doubtless his attitude has been responsible for a decrease in the number of such cases, although Virginia has produced quite enough aggravated offenses of the kind to make such a rule advisable. One instance was that of a bootlegger who, dashing through the streets of a large city at midnight, ran down and killed a man and his wife as they stepped from the curb and another was that of a whiskey runner whose car ran over a colored child and dragged the body a full mile before the befuddled driver realized anything was wrong, although lie was repeatedly hailed by horrified people on the sidewalks. In one of these cases scant justice was done the crime by a year in jail decreed by the trial jury as the penalty for killing two people. For the killing of the child very severe puuislunent was provided, iu botli cases and ill all cases like them it will be futile to appeal to. the governor for mitigation of tlie sentences. His rule is inflexible and he will not restore the right to drive, of which the driver is autoiuaikaiiy de-

Tells j How He Got Well. c Anyone who has had stomach ‘ trouble, kidney pains or rheumatism, ( need not be told that Mr. S. E. Long- j cor, New York Central employee, Route 7, Elkhart, Ind., is very glad 1 his suffering is over. He tells of his j recovery, as follows: “When stomach trouble attacked I me two years ago, it brought more j suffering than I could have believed possible. Every time I tried to eat, 1 the pains in my stomach were awful. | I was bloated with gas, bilious and ' had a bad taste in my mouth. My j . kidneys began to trouble me. My | back ached, head ached, and the 1 nights seemed very long because I i could scarcely sleep. Every morning j I got up more tired than when I went ' to bed. Friends know how I was | I before I took Viuna, so I want them 1 to know how I am now. I have no j ! stomach trouble. All that pain, gas i and indigestion are gene. My bowels I are working fine again, kidneys seem ’ in good order, and I haven’t a touch , of that old back-ache. I am sleeping good, feeling full of pep—in fact, I ’ feel perfectly well again. It seems . hard to realize that Viuna could do as much for any sick man as it did 1 for me, but these are facts.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, ’ lazy liver and weak kidneys. It. purities the blood, clears the skin, restores appe--1 Ute and digestion.and brings new strength hud energy to the whole body. Take a • bottle on trial.
