Stop your car when you approach a school hack which is loading or discharging children. Not to do so is a strict violation of law. Eastern buyers still declare this the best horse market in the country and those farmers who have kept up the grade established years ago. will find a ready and profitable market, which will help considerably. , If the truth were told you would know that the real reason for decreasing the taxes for this year and running the administration in the hole, was because the leaders down there felt sure Frank C. Dailey would be elected governor and they wanted to put him in a hole. Whatever increase there is in your taxes next year will be due to the fact that affairs have been badly managed in Indianapolis, not only the past year, not only by the last legistlature but for the past dozen years, during the terms of Goodrich, McCray, Jackson and Branch. Perhaps after they got to thinking it over the republican politicians were not so anxious to fix things up in Gary so they can't report as many votes as are nee?ssary to win an | election. That’s a handy arrangement at times and Senator Watson is nothing if not appreciative. They finally got John Coolidge and Florence Trumbull married and now if Mr. Hoover has any offer to make the public they are ready to pay due tribute to it. Os course everybody wishes Major and Mrs. Coolidge a long, happy and prosperous life and every thing else that goes with it. Something to worry about —fashion decrees that man's waist must be six inches less than his chest, if he would be in style and he is advised either to order a corset or go on an eighteen day diet. At that the fat man has a better chance to fit the needs than the skinny guy. How is he going to spare six inches at the waist line? Somebody stepped on the investigation of the Gary probe and Mr. Loomis has evidently received orders from Washington to drop it. There is much joy that Senator Watson need not be called as a witness. Truth probably is that it was getting so hot and drawing in so many men way higher up that it was thought best to just let things go. The campaign here has been very quiet so far but it is expected that by election day which is some six weeks away, interest will be sufficient to call out a good sized vote. The last couple of weeks will probably find interest high and the boys down to real work. In the meantime the city is going along about the best in her history, with most folks figuring they had better let well enough alone. Lloyd Crouch has resigned as mayor of Columbia City and has turned over all his property to make good as much of his $65,000 shortage as possible. No difference what punishment is meted out to this man who until recently held the confidence of his people, he will suffer greatly for thus injuring his community. There can be no excuse for his acts and this is

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Boston. —(UP)— Henry Jewett, director of the Repertory theater here is reputed to be the only golf- • ed In America who wears a monocle on the greens and fairways. not a time for sympathy, much as ' you might wish to extend them. I The Legion post boys are willing to go ahead carrying the responsibilities of a street fair if sufficiently encouraged. There is no doubt that the recent one built much good will towards Decatur and the boys proved their ability to conduct such an affairs. It you believe it a good thing to thus entertain your patrons annually, tell them so and they will do their best to improve the show each year. Just now a campaign is on to secure more members for Adams Post of the American Legion. Out of a possible 700 they have a membership of onlytwo hundred. They will try to increase that to 350 by the end of the year. Every man eligible should esteem it an honor to belong to this splendid organization which is nonpolitical, non-sectariau and which stands only for the better things of the government, community and the post. The state tax has been boosted six cents by the state tax board and Governor Leslie, signing it, took a nasty fling at the ex-governor, Ed Jackson, declaring he had been made “the goat of Indiana's false economy program.’’ Leslie pointed to the record of Jackson’s brother, James G., accusing him of underfeeding the children in the Fort Wayne school for feeble minded and of using the money to buy automobiles. James«comes back at him tn self defense and the quarrel goes merrily on. Just the same the taxes are six cents higher and the public pays, whoever is wrong. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. When one Ims been introduced to a person and did not understand the name is it all right to ask him his name? A. No; it is better to ask someone else at the first opportunity. Q. When a man and woman are dining at a hotel or restaurant, and another man stops to talk with them, should they rise? A. The man should,’ but the woman remains seated. Q. Should a social letter or note bear a left hand margin? A. Yes, it looks better. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE To Remove Corks If a cork falls inside of a bottle, put enough ammonia in the bottle to floatj the cork and put it away for a few: days. The ammonia will eat or destroy the cork, enough to permit its removal. , A Dish For The Invalid Prepare a quart of cream in celery! soup and season to taste. Poach eggs and put on slices of buttered toast. Place in soup plates, pour the soup, over and serve. This is an excellent] dish for an invalid, or the children. Cleaning Drain Pipes Drain pipes should be cleaned frequently by dissolving copperas and lye and pouring down them. This also acts as a good disinfectant. o Defeat Merely Lenon What is defeat? Nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better *-AVendell Phillips. , o Don’t Cross Bridges One of the vexatious questions confronting the “uplift" is, when the race I becomes entirely careful, wise and , honest, what we will do with that percentage now busy being doctors, lawyers, policemen and firemen?— Fort Worth Record-Telegram. Washes, Carries Coal, Woman Gains 18 Pound ! “I wash, iron and carry coal and ■ don’t get tired since taking Vinol. 5 Also, I have gained 18 pounds.”— Mrs. S. Cortese. Vinol is a delicious compound of f cod liver peptone, iron, etc. Nervous, 1 easily tired, anemic people are surprised how Vinol gives new pep, * sound sleep and a BIG appetite, s The very FIRST bottle often adds i several pounds weight to thin children or adults. Tastes delicious. Smith, Yager & Falk, druggists. ■

X SRXSMKXKSISSKXXKStM “Farmers Must Not Get Confused” One thing the farmer must remember if he forgets most of the other cooperative marketing necessities, and that is, he should own and control the local marketing machinery, which we will call a farmers elevator. You can call it Farm Bureau Exchange, Equity Exchange. Farmers Union Exchange, Farmers Pool Elevator, Cooperative Elevator company. Chalmers Grain company. Grange Elevator, or any pet name you desire, yet please remember, it’s proper name is Farmers' Elevator. The farmers must own the local elevator, which means he must also control it. Second, his local farmers’ elevator with other farmers’ elevators must own their terminal sales agency, and third, the Farmers' Elevator terminal sales agencies must own the national sales agency. What Is a Farmers Elevator? It is a commercial corporation, incorporated under the state laws. The stock of which is owned by a group of local farmers. The purpose of the farmers in owning it. is to operate it to give them the kind of commercial service needed, and the profits from the operation to belong to them. It has ben pointed out repeatedly that there has been only one successful farmers marketing policy, and that one is. and has been, that the local farmers should own and control the local farmers elevator. For several years the wheat pools have tried to bring in a new marketing plan which left out the owning of the local elevator. Like all the rest, they now admit their mistake, and are including in their new pool plan the owning of the local elevators. The two points of differences between the present farmers' elevator plan and the pool plan are, first, the local farmers supervise and control the local elevator, under the present farmer elevator plan, while in the pool plan the local elevator is owned and controlled by a central office. Second, the farmer elevators do not think a binding contract is of any value, in fact they think that in the end it is injurious to harmony and good fellowship, which are the links that bind farmers and society together. There is argument in favor of a contract in it's proper place. It was needed with the pools first plan, it may be needed in their second plan, but the writers’ opinion is, that when the farmers own the local elevator, I his share of stock is all the contract i necessary. Again: Who is it that intelligently and willingly signs these marketing contracts?" Answer, 90 ’ of them are men whose word is equal to any contract which he might sign.’’] A Reader. — 1 — O —**"'• Component of Atom A proton is an electrically charged particle or component of the atom.
