Tomorrow is the shortest day iu the year and also the official date lpr the opening of the winter season. The next three months are the tough ones hut just think —right after that comes spring ami summer and autumn. Texas got a snow for the Christmas season while northern states were having a week of rain. We are anxious to heai whether they credit it to the election of Mr. Hoover or charge it to the defeat of Governor A1 Smith. Since no one else seems to believe it, at least sufficiently to publicly proclaim the fact, Governor Ed Jackson yesterday delivered his own eulogy, pronouncing his administration as "remarkable" and hoping the Leslie regime will he as good. Double parking is not only inconvenient for automobile drivers hut likewise for pedestrians and is dangerous. The best way to control such a condition is for everybody to rernembei that it is against the best interests to park double and not do it. We like the Christmas decorations and wo are sure everybody appreciates tlie extra lights which have been put up by the city. “Marty” Mylott has been on the job more than thirty years, knows what to do and when and how to do it. You still have time to help the kiddies Christina fund by joining the Good Fellows (.dub and every penny you give to this cause will biing a hundred tunes that much joy to some hoy or girl. Don't wait any longer, the time is about up. i Chicago is borrowing another two or three mildoii dollars to pay their school teachers off and such procedure seems to be regular.

Bolivia and Paraguay will be expelled from the League of Nations if they go to war hut that won’t save the life of a single hoy or the nations from foolishly spending a lot of money.

That being so we are ' hoping for the weather. President-elect Hoover is homeward hound, safe after a long trip at variofts South American countries, King George of England Is on the mend as- j . ter a severe illness, Bolivia and ParI agiiay are patching up their difficulties, the world is about as much at peace as it ever gets, there is prosperity in spots at least and so about everybody is ready for Christmas. We favor efforts to secure a corn stalk paper mill. There are two or three operating successfully in Illinois and none over this way. Besides providing a splendid industry, look at what it would mean if farmers iu this section could sell their corn stalks at five dollars a ton or whatever the price is. Means the saving of what is now just waste and means that much more per acre for every corn farmer. Tom Sauoke over at Cleveland refused so shave, dress or see callers on Sunday so his wife asked for a divorce but Judge Phillips held that a man has a right to "just hang around the house and rest” over the weekend.

The sheriff of Lake county drew a total of $106,1)12 last year and other officials of that county drew from $19.-j 000 to $61,000. Os course such amounts are wrong. The jobs are not worth it and excellent employes can be secured for much less. Consequently a movement is on foot to control salaries and incomes of officers in the larger counties of the state. There should be an equalization that would give officials In the smaller counties salaries commensurate with their service and reduce the amounts paid to those in the industrial centers.
