Grease up the clock and be. ready for a return to old fashioned time Saturday midnight. You will gain an hour on yourself Sunday morning. If you are entitled to join the Adams Post of the American Legion, get in during the campaign now under way to secure 150 new members. They need you and you need them. That Fort Wayne couple which saved 235 pennies to get married on will find it requires even more thrift than that to "keep the home fires” burning and the “lizzie” operating 365 days in the year. Now what will Michigan City do? Here they have been operating since 1922 under the city manager form of government and getting along just fine. Now comes the supreme court and declares it unconstitutional, which we presume nullifies every thing done during that period. Oh pshaw, the cats out of the bag — Senator Rrookhart of lowa says he and many other senators attended a banquet given at the New Willard hotel for the newly elected •tataHMn. at which liquor, the real stuff. was hidden under a table and all they had to do was to lift the SIO,OOO table

cloth and help themselves. The fire which destroyed the heating plant at Indiana university was controlled just in time it seems. Anyway reports indicate that there will be no forced vacation and that within , a short time the heating apparatus ; can be made ample to take care of the colder weather sure to come in two or three months. The southeastern coast of the United States is fearful of further devastation from hurricanes, tidal waves and other tropical storms. This is the season and warnings have already alarmed the folks in and near Miami.! Thank goodness it doesn’t last but a . short time and then that section beckons the world to the greatest ■ play grounds to be found out of doors. | Miller Huggins, beloved leader in baseball. America’s greatest sport, because of his years with the New York Yankees is dead after a few days illness from erysipelas with influenza complications. The announcement has j "broug’t. sadness to the hearts of mil-] * lions of loyal American fans who admired his skill, his fairness and his | clean sportsmanship. Seems as though Mr. Loomis, U. S. I district attorney for the South Be ml t federal court district will not be able to lightly dismiss the Gary investigation. An assistant attorney general from Washington has been sent to take charge of the job and upon his report will probably depend the fate of many Calumet politicians and grafters. Evidently Kirby Davis prefers not to take any chances on facing the courts of northeastern Indiana. He plead guilty in federal court and took a five-year sentence which was probably much the easiest way out. We are sorry he was not forced to tell his story for there are a number of mysterious circumstances in this section and he is supposed to know about them.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE ? Cambridge. Mass. —(UP) —Fate and the Department of Justice are harsh taskemasters. J. A. P. Flynn, federal narcotics agent, was forced to arrest his World War buddy, Thomas Gately. former 101st infantryman in a raid here. The supreme court holds the city manager acts of 1921 and 1929 unconstitutional. which means specifically that Indianapolis will elect a mayor and other city officials in the regular way. Each party will hold a primary or convention soon to select the nominese. It is announced that Reginald Sullivan, one of the cleanest and ablest men of the capital city will be the democratic candidate while republicans are in a three way muddle, in which of course Coffin, the big boss figures prominently. If they do not elect Sullivan there this year, the condition is hopeless.

The Rluffton tax rate will be over $4.00 per hundred It is announced, which is proably not what every one there would prefer, but with the continued demands for improvement and a reduction in total valuations, that’s about all that can be done. The school city moved to reduce overhead the coming year by cutting down the number of instructors and other efforts will be made no doubt to save in every way possible. We know just how difficult it is and so does about every city in the state. Newcastle has a twenty-one cent increase this year and similar boosts are reported from many towns. Hurt Mangold, democratic city chairman is planning for an active campaign of four to six weeks to let the voters know the issues from the administration viewpoint which should assure a re-election of Mayor Krick and assistants and councilmen. The record of the past four years is onZ of the best made any where in Indiana and in every way. Improvements j h%ve been made without increasing i the city tax , rate, reductions for ! power and light have aided every
