Mr. Hoover has decided to call in the party leaders from all over the country to help him select his cabinet. 'Twill never work. The presidentelect wi 1 have to decide himself sooner or later and it may as well he sooner. it is not too late to start in the Christmas Savings ciub but don't put it off longer. Os course you can start saving any time you want but its better to start with something definite in mind. If you shoot at something its easier than if you just fire at random, (let in this week.

Congressman Enell has informed President Coolidge that there will be no farm legislation in the present session which probably meets the approval of the president tor not even itis warmest admirers have claimed for him any deep sympathy with Hie movement for a McNary-Haugen bill.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 3 -- (UP)— Mayor McCrcskey of Walla Walla, has received a letter from ex-mayor Tauslck asking compensation us he was deafened In 1910 when H. Whitkeer blew the fire whistle so loudly that it deafened him. - - — ' 11 11 off taxes and Interest. We notice that most of the folks who own cars have not yet secured the 1929 license plates. Any way judging from those we see along the street they have not put them on if they have them. It won't be safe to put it off more than a short time for on February Ist. the state police will cause the arrest of those who have not complied. Why wait until the very last minute? We have become so prosperous in this country that we even pay our presidential electors. Until this year the boys had to do that job patriotically and there were always plenty who were sufficienlty proud of the honor to volunteer. Now we pay them ten dol.ars a day plus five dollars for each twenty-five miles the poor fellow has to travel. Hereafter there will be plenty of candidates for the job. That terrible accident at Auburn Junction could have been averted if the driver had slowed his car down before he was so close to the tracks. When he finally did apply the brakes, the car skidded on the tracks in front of an approaching freight and the terrible accident was the result. A similar accident occurred here a year or two ago. Why is it necessary to J see how close you can get to the train's right-of-way? Hoosiers who have failed to secure 1929 license plates are liable to arrest when they get across the Ohio line. Over there the law becomes effective January Ist and they are enforcing it this year even to the extent that

Ohio folks visiting over here cannot, get back without first taking out an Indiana license. Os coarse its alright to be strict but it doesn't hurt any thing either to be reasonable in these matters. Government officials have fixed January 10th as a date lor convening the public health service national conference on influenza. Why wait another week if they are going to have it? Several inElion people have the disease and it continues to spread daily. Seems as though if the government can do any thing to relieve the silutaion they ought to do it speedily. This is no investigation of election frauds or oil scandal, but a serious problem for rich and poor alike. You don't have to win a victory to get a place in sports. Iu the football game on New Years day between Georgia Tech and the University of California, in connection with the rose show at Pasadena, a man named Reigels of the California team, picked up the pigskin and ran seventy yards but he ran the wrong way and stop-

Efforts will be made next week to straighten out a l matters pertaining Ito the securing of the right-of-ways I (or the state highways through this 'county and In this we hope all citizens ' and officials will join. 1 his is a matter of common interest to every 'one, providing excellent main highI j ways at the cost of the state, saving the county a considerable sum in construction and maintainence and placing our county on a par with others. Lets all pull together, using our best judgment and do a litt.e work towards this end. It will mean more in the years to come than any thing else we can do at this time. o Robeit and Catherine Bell, of Fort Wayne. Hairy Bell, f Elyria. O.tio, and Frank Bell, of Grand Rapids.
