Now its all as plain as day, the discovery has been made that Governor Long of Louisiana once attended school in Oklahoma. Thanks for the news reports you ' have been sending in for our “Town Talk" column. It is the very best feature we can have and we hope It ' will grow to even larger proportions. ———-B-—• Well, how are you and the daylight I saving problem getting along? Most i of the folks we have talked to rather i like it. even if it is a burden in some 1 ‘ways, which goes to show we can get I used to most any thing. . *— i Fifteen violent deaths in Indiana I over the week-end, keeping up the I average, hut a third of these were i suicides and the unusual part of It is < that less than that proportion were I automobile accidents. - . '*~* 1 We repeat that the one thing we i don't need in this part of the country 1 the next few days is any more rain. I The downpour of the past few days i ” has set the spring work back, done I ‘ some damage and brought the rivers up to flood stage. With every factory going fuß-lfime • ' here and many of them over, with - much new road construction work on * and with several new building blocks - under consideration, indications for a - busy several months were never ? brighter. Be a booster, let’s keep the “ best town in the country. * Even though we haven't had a « democratic president for ten years _ they are still trying to blame a lot _ of things on the Jeffersonians. If 2 they can do that in face of the fact that the eight years under Woodrow “ Wilson were the best the country ever experienced, what's the use to object? The Adams County Witness seems to have the wrong idea -of the law * which is upsetting Indianapolis on the daylight saving question for the new statute effects only that city as generally understood. Any way many cities in the state are using the advanced time so there is probably no question as to the validity of it, just a matter of whether you want it or not. We are never too old to learn and the man who knows that is wise. Perhaps that's the theory being followed by Thomas S. Perkins, former Decatur man who has entered the Cleveland university at the age of seventy. He is a great Bible student and expects to write stories of interest to young and old. If he does you may be sure they wll be well worth reading. If you wish to go hunting in Indiana now you must go to considerable trouble to secure a license which permits you to carry a gun. Under a new law you must have your permit signed by the. judge, the sheriff and the chief of police and the chief poli<|‘ jfficH in JUe town In which you reside. Then you present your papers to the county clerk, pay one dollar and get a license. That's a lot of trouble for a few rabbits. Franklin Roosevelt, governor of New York, is a fifth cousin of the late T. R. That’s not a very close relation-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Natick, Mui -(UP)—Perhaps the court thought It was cruelty to anlmalß. Anyhow, a local judge fined Edward Murphy $5 for throwing a hatchet at a “hot dog” which had just been served to a patron In a Natick lunchroom. 1 Z 1 — ship, but Roosevelts are Roosevelts. T. R. was a sickly youth, but by courage and discipline he made himself a strong and active man. His namesake, the governor of New York, ou the other hand, was an athletic youth. He was attacked with infantile paralysis and suffered greatly for years. By the same kind of courage and discipline he is winning his fight against a great physical handicap.—Mid-West Review. During the first two days, of the present session of congress 1,000 bills were introduced, in spite of the fact that its work was to be restricted to less than half a dozen subjects. Os course, the bills that become laws are in about the same proportion as the acorns that become oak trees. Even at that there is a general complaint—and with reason—that too many laws are ground out. Yet nearly every legislator seems ambitious to get one of his own ideas through and have it imposed on a general public whether anybody wants it or not. For instance, a representative Is now de-1 manding a big appropriation to build | an ornate base around the Washing j ton monument —a project that would ! cost a lot of money and perhaps detract from the beauty and impressiveness of this famous memorial. A senator wants to put the government of Washington on the city-manager plan, though the present commission form is unique and has been pronounced by high authority the best in the United States. There is no popular demand, no general desire for measures. More power to those committees which put such bills to sleep by the thousands. —The Pathfinder.

Two years ago he was found wandering dazed and penniless on the streets of New- York. Anne Nichols, author of “Abie's Irish Rose," came, to his aid and with a trust fund of $l5O a month, and Miss Anna O'Hagan, for 21 years his secretary, took him into her home. He would not admit, even then, that he was through. He vowed he would live to be 90 and take a long walk on each birthday. He tried It at 88, and fell under the wheels of a taxicab. Thereafter it was the wheel chair. He njanaged to take a few steps at 89, but was powerless on March 15 when he reached his goal of 90. “This," he raid then, ‘‘is the bitterest day of my life.” -15 15 CONSPIRATORS ARE SENTENCED AT FORT WAYNE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONB> Vasel Geroff, six months in jail.

It costs very little to recondition a MODEL T FORD . I THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but it is still proud of the Model T. It wants every owner of one of these cars to run it as long as possible at a minimum of trouble and expense. Because of this policy and because of the investment that millions of motorists have in Model T cars, the Ford Motor Company will continue to supply parts as long as they are needed by Ford owners. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T, we suggest that you take it to the nearest Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of any replacement parts that may be necessary. You will find this the economical thing to do because a small expenditure now will help to prevent costlier repairs later on, increase the value of the car, and give you thousands of miles of additional service. For a labor charge of only $2.60 yon can have your generator put in first-class condition. A new universal joint will be installed for a labor cost of $3. Overhauling the carburetor costs $1.50; steering gear, $3.50; radiator, $7.50. A complete overhauling of the rear axle assembly runs between $5.75 and $7 for labor. An average price of $22.50 covers the overhauling of the motor and transmission. These prices are for labor only because the need and number of new parts depend on the condition of each car. The cost of these parts is low, however, because of the Ford policy of manufacturing and selling at a small margin of profit. Ford Motor Company i
