A one fifth interest in the ownership of the New York Giants sold the i other day for a half million dollars so if you are looking for some nice business to get into, start a ball club. An Ohio convict made $7,000 last year writing poetry, but if a fellow has to wear stripped clothes, march the lock-step and wear his hair short, there are a lot of fellows who will go ou witli their jobs that pay less. It has been discovered by a lot of disappointed office seekers that Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hoover did not talk business during their recent visit but instead had a good time talking over the best make o f fishing tackle. Tin state has settled one question tor good and all. They have taken over Salt Creek down in Brown county as a state park and thus have given the world the knowledge of where this old stream so generally used at election time is located. Hilly Holt, for many years a hotel manager in Indianapolis where at various times lie managed the Grand, the Baltes and the Denison, is dead. He was one of those men who just lit his place, who knew itow to make yon feel at home in his hotel and did It. He will lie missed by the old I timers who remember Billy in the good old days when he was the best smiler and story teller in the world. John 1). Rockefeller. Jr., wants Robert Stewart out of the Standard Oil company of Indiana and we are all so used to the Rockefellers getting what they want that we feel it would be the simplest in itter for Stewart to get out. A year ago the latter won but now comes another election and we have a hunch that during the past twelve months John I), lias been looking about himself and probaldy lias enough proxies now stowed away in his vest pocket to even things up with the man whom he decided had not looked the Washington court squarely in the eye.

Two meetings of more importance tbtm you may perhups think unless you have given I lie subject thought, were held in this city yesterday. One was the session of sugar beet manufacturers, growers, held men and business men in which a perfect cooperative agreement was discussed and plans made for the organization of a sugar grower’s organization for the purpose of aiding In various ways this industry. The other was that of men interested in promoting those things of greatest benefit to I lie farmers. There are many tilings that can be done in this county and we should do them because this is largely an agricultural community and any thing that helps the farmer or those concerns directly dependent upon the farmer, likewise helps all of us for Indirectly we are all io a large degree dependent on the good fortune of the agrgicult mists. The death summons came yesterday to another respected citizen, whose friends were many and whose

public career was one of pride and gratification to them. John E. Nelson, clerk of Adams county, died following un illness of nearly a year. He had Just begun his second term in office when illness attacked him and though every thing possible was done, his decline continued until death came to relieve him. He taught school a number of years, was in business at Monroe and served as a county official, performing each duty well. He was an ardent church and lodge man, a wonderful husband and father and an excellent citizen. That he should be taken just at the noontide of his life is one of the unexplainable things that come some times to every community. Buried in the election returns were four items of more significance in the promotion of American welfare than any single issue debated in the national campaign. They told of the victory of a $30,000,000 state highway bond issue in Louisiana, a $100,000,000 issue in lowa, a $35,000,000 issue in West Virginia, and of Missouri’s decision to Increase her road building debt by $75,000,000. Part of the lowa issue is to take over country road debts.. Back of this cheerful, hard-headed 1 spending is the feeling that the country is about to win its lifelong struggle against mud. Spring thaws, floods in season ami out, fall rains — these, not Indians, were the pioneers' arch enemies. They lield him mudbound from his markets. He fought back in fair weather. But he improved ills transportation. Wagon conquest of the mud was not motor conquest. So the battle went on until lie discovered hard-surface freedom Now victory is in sight, not only the triumph over mud, but more »oufirmation of the theory that this country can always find the money to fight itself out of economic bondage.—Col-1 Hers.

LEGION URGES STATE PROGRAM Commander Weicking Outlines Measures Legion Will Back Indianapolis, Jan. 12 -The Indiana department of the American Legion will urge the enactment of nine laws in the present session of the state legislature, Ferd A. Wrecking. of Bluffton, department commander, announced today. Members of the Indiana Legion indorsed these proposed measures in their state convention at Lafayette. They received the approval of the department executive committee in session at Indianapolis over the week-end. A capitulation of the nine measures that the Indiana Legion will support in the legislature lias been prepared by Forest A. Harness, of Kokomo, legislative chairman in summing tip the legislative measures that will receive Legion support. Department Commander Welcking said "The Indiana legion will seek added support for the Knightstown Soldier and Sailors Orphan home. This institution has now 523 children and a waiting list of many others. In order to properly care for those children now in the home, ft is absolutely necessary that certain repairs be made on the buildings and equipment, and in order to take care of the increase for the next two years, new buildings must be erected and new equipment provided. This will require an outlay of nearly $600,000, which estimate is the lowest possible amount to make the necessary improvements. In addition to tills, there must be an appropriation for maintenance of approximately $600,000, perhaps a little less. "Since the care of the disabled veterans and their orphan children is the first undertaking of the American Legion, tills should have the wholehearted support of every Legionnaire. These little children must be cared for and properly educated and it is Up to the American Legion to support adequate legislation to bring this about. “It is proposed to introduce a bi 1 requiring surety bonds in all guardianship and decedents’ estate cases, applying to individuals, banks and trust companies. This is not only a protection to veterans, lint to any person who is under guardianship, or any person who is interested in an ostate under process of settlement. Thousands of dollars have been lost in (lie past few years through the faults of fiduciaries and the failure of banks and trust companies. This law will protest against .such losses. "It is further intended to require guardians to give annual reports to Hie court, and in the case of guardians for veterans to serve notice on the Veterans Bureau as to the hearing date on said reports. “Authority will be sought for circuit Judges to commit veterans. This law would authorize circuit Judges in Indiana, upon the proper showing, to commit veterans to federal institutions. thereby saving Legion posts and other organizations, and individuals the expense in sending men back and fortli to the institutions after they have escaped or have been released, and also furnish authority for those in charge of th<> institutions to receive the persons committed. "A joint resolution will be introduced calling for congress to establish a veterans hospital in Indiana, which we hope will pass unanimously. "The Legion lias endorsed a bill requiring the state highway commission to plant trees along our public highways in memory of deceased soldiers, dedicating them also to companies, regiments and divisions, or to pioneers. "Tile legislature will be asked to change the name of the Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home, to the Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Children’s Home. "A bill will be introduced to exempt

soldiers ami sailors from the payment of poll tax. “The Indiana School for the Blind is now located where the Memorial building is being erected by the state of Indiana, and they have started construction of another institution which they cannot complete until funds are provided. The Legion lias endorsed this appropriation. •'Since tile Memorial Plaza lias been completed, it is necessary that an tip priatlon be made for its maintenance, and this, also, the American Legion lias endorsed," _— o - • BIG FEATURES • OF RADIO jfl****** **••••’ Sunday's Five Best Radio Features (Copyright 1929 by UP) WOK, Newark.

REPPERT’S AUCTION SCHOOL NOTES One more week of auction school and 45 auctioneers will be starting home for the beginning of what, we hope, will be a successful career in their chosen field. We wonder how many of our people really appreciate Mr. Reppert s School of Auctioneering", and the class of men it brings to our city. The writer, having had the privilege of close association with the instructors and students of this present class,, has been made to realize that Mr.; Reppert is doing a great work. Many young men who have had enough experience in their work to realize that they lacked something, are very enthusiastic about the work given here. One was heard to say that he would not think he had payed too much if he had had no more than tile first two days of school. The class of men coming is is par excellence. They are gentlemenly and courteous. On their first Sunday in our city they attended church services with Col. Reppert. Tomorrow, they will go witli Col. Roy Johnson to the Baptist church and will sing for them at that chinch. In the evening they will sing at tlic First Methodist church and are to be entertained by the mens class of the M. E. Sunday school on Monday. And they are some singers. They make ’er ring. Plan to be in these services and show your appreciation for these fine fellows who are our guests. ■ —o --- «¥¥¥¥********** * CONGRESS TODAY * ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥** *» * * * Senate Borah to offer agreement for vote Monday or Tuesday on auti-war treaty.
