George Rogers dark. That valiant soldier was neglected during lhe later years of his life and htfc notable contribution to the struggle a.'t the colonies with Great Britain was eclipsed by the greater prominence attached to the events of that war which took place along the Atlantic seaboard. Other heroes have gone unsung for years before Hi-it deeds received fitting recognition. but history event- , ually is just. For that reason the crowds gathered al the old city on the Wabash to honor the memory of Gen. Clark. No tributes now can condone the neglect of the sturdy old warrior during the dosing years of his life. His achievements, however, can be accorded their proper place in the annals of the United States. Just 150 years ago Monday a halfstarved, shivering band of dauntless Americans compelled the surrender of Foit Saukville, the important British outpost of Vincennes. The heroic little army had overcome almost insurmountable harries of flood and cold, held to their project by the inspiring example of their leader. With the fall of the fort control of the great northwest territory, what are now the rich, populous states of tire central west, passed into the hands of the colonies. The ceremonies al Vincennes Monday were introductory to an observance which will be continued throughout the year. A parade and historical pageant were features of the opening program. President Coolidge pressed a button which razed a building on the site of the Clark memorial. Governor Leslie and members of the legislature were Indiana’s official representatives. Special commemorative stamps have been issued by the post office department. A splendid memorial structure, to he erected in a few mouths, will remind future generations of the events which took place on the banks of Indiana’s famous stream. A memorial bridge will also cross the Wabash al this point. The sesquiceutenuial marks another impetus to the growing inteerst in Indiana history. It must, stimulate pt ide in every loyal Hoosier to become better acquainted with the part which this state played in the development of a nation.—lndianapolis Star. The one man in a million, possibly the one man In a hundred million, died the other day. This unusual man, who can be held up as an example, was Reuben H. Donnelley, president of the great printing concern by that name. The remarkable thing about this man was not in his ability or capacity to build up a great business, to make money or spend it, but his outstanding honesty and by that we don’t mean to imply that men are not holiest. They are. The point is, that twenty-two years ago Mr. Donnelley was a bankrupt ami owed around $100,001). As the saying goes, he went the bankrupt route and his debts were legally discharged. In 1927, he found himself wealthy and

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Sioux City, Ind — (U.R) — William King ended a heated argument with n local grocer by wrecking the store and pouring molasses over his antagonist's head. it was then that he did the unusual thing which more or less startled the world. He paid off the big debt he owed when he became bankrupt, added the legal rate of Interest for the 22 years and all told paid out $700,800 and cleaned the boards. How many persons would have done the same thing? Mr. Donnelley was honest beyond doubt and It must have been a source of pleasure to him to think while lying on bls death bed that he had least discharged this debt. We don’t know anything about the procedure when you get. up there and Saint Peter checks your credentials, but we would make a guess that Printer Donnelley got a clean slate when asked if he had violated the seventh , commandment. He was a real man. Seemingly Hoosier republicans will ' not laud a place in President Hoover's cabinet. It appears that Post-master-General Harry New has been side-tracked for Walter F. Brown, Ohio politician and so far the name of any other Hoosier has not been mentioned. California seems to be I the favored state, Dr. Lyman Wilbur.' president of Leland Stanford, and Mr. Robinson, Los Angeles, banker, both I being groomed for one of the important posts. Mr. Hoover’s attention might be called to the fact that former Governor Ed Jackson is out of a job. Were not saying that it was premeditated, or a pre-arranged affair, but the attempt to assassinate Jack Dempsey, former pug champion and 1 promoter of the Sharkey-Stribling fight, served as good publicity for the i bout tonight. Dempsey got ujt the front page of nearly every newspaper. The night prowler who fired the supposed bullet missed his mark and the big boy was none the less harm-1 ed. No arrests have been made. What the people would like to know, is how Lieutenant Governor Bush will vote in case of a tie between the two forces trying to amend the state primary law? From the first, vote taken last week it appears that when the measure comes up again, there will be a tie in the senate vote and then all eyes will be ou the lie iteuant governor. Well the lieutenant governor should get some glory out of his job. The Sharkey - Stribling light is scheduled for tonight iu Miami, Fla., and out of the contest, Jack Dempsey, hopes to arrange a world’s championship bout. These boys are bound to muss each other up and the way the ringside seats are selling at $25 per, we don't blame them as long as they can get by with it. We Americans must have our sport and fun. Talk about being in a rush. You should be a member of congress this week and see how the boys are trying to push things through in the final days of the seventieth congress. o > Troop No. fil will meet at.

PASTOR URGES CHURCH UNION Auburn, Feb. 27.—" We should get together In Auburn and build on' 1 two big churches to take the place of Hie 12 conregitHons which are now conducting religious services In this city," Rev. Hubert F. Craven, pastor of the First. Aubtfl-ii Presbyterian church, declared In an address to members of the Auburn Rotary and Auburn Hickory clubs at the Auburn Country club last night. Rev. Craven delivered his address on "Can We Have Church Union?’’ "We are united on every thing but religion. We belong to the same nlnbs, same secret orders, same par ties, have the same school teacher, same doctors and live in the same town, state and nation. On these things we are united ami would fight for them. But. when it comes to religion we are legion," the pastor said. "The question of the number of churches In a community is becoming an economic one. We are not using common sense in carrying on our churches ns we are and for the sake of a greater church we should cast aside our few denominational prejudices and unite in one or two big churches. "The 12 churches in Auburn are costing too much to operate. The fact is we do not have one gooff decent church in Auburn. Thby are all dark, dingy and unattractive and pool ly manned. We have grown away from our churches in America, for ijiese reasons. We have built better homes and better public buildings, but not churches. Our churches have taken a back seat, but nobody is to blame but ourselves."
