You can still take out a Christ- < mas Saving card and you ought to. Its a fine thing for you, for the bank and for the community. Dad may not have received any 1 letters for college athletics but he ’ probably piled more wood than his 1 son ever saw and didn't receive a ' bum knee or a broken body. The boys may not get as much < thrill coasting their sleds down I hills as dad but they will find it a lot safer than hooking on behind i an automobile. Just time to help the Good Fellow club along. Remember the • cold weather w-ill make necessary i a lot of fuel and clothing if the : poor folks are to be made comfortable. i “Senator Brookhart opposes Mellon,’’ says a headline. Well for that matter we presume it would also be safe to run one reading "Mellon opposes Brookhart." Those boys are not just what you could call fond of each other. , Sweeden boasts of a skii that is sixty miles long but they “ain't seen nothin’ yet.” Wait until they get a look at the one on Wall | street. Its higher, steeper and in i every way more dangerous and , thrilling. , Its time to think of Christmas. Lets forget our cares and troubles and worries and business and in- , vestments and crops and every , thing else and join the children in , three big loud cheers for old Santa Claus. After all thats more important. Evidently there is no such thing as an escape-proof jail. The city , of Cbtfago recently built what was supposed to he one at a cost of some seven or eight million dollars. Six men used a bench to break down the doors of their cells, overpowered the guards and escaped PoTftlcs will open shortly after the first of tire year and there will *- -’■■ll’ be plenty of it. Some idea of what may be, expected is seen in the contest for highway superintendent of Adams county, for which job iL is reported there are at least, twenty-five applicants, out right or in an acceptable mood. The Merry Christmas bditlon of Inklings came out yesterday in a coat of bright red and green. Indicative of the season and likewise of the enterprise of the staff and managers. The paper was filled with snappy articles on every department of school life and carried a “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas" picture on the front page.

♦ p TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U ,R) 4 Memphis, Tenn. — There may be no significance in I this whatever, but a Memphis policeman who bears the suggestive name of Lurry Fox ate 18 scrambled eggs at one sitting recently. He is a sergeant. ♦ -- - i ■■ .I■— - ———■ has been granted a stay of execution until January 31st while the supreme court finishes consideration of his case. He was sentenced to die Thursday night, the respite coming a few hours before he was to go to the chair. He gains a Christmas dinner if nothing else. The first sale of registered rabbits ever held in America will be conducted here during {he auction school. That may make you smile but after all its quite a thing. First its fine to have something entirely new and to be the first to do something. And then the rabbit crop in this country each year is worth j millions, the fur alone bringing | $25,000,000. Its a chance to getl into a new line and if properly, conducted it pays the mortgage off. The county road department is fighting up hill against the wind and snow this week but are keeping right at it and within a day or two after the drifting subsides they will have # the highways in condition for travel. The men are working every hour they can but its a stiff old job. The state roads are largely closed over northern Indiana causing unusual inconvenience because of the holiday season. Any cooperation that can be given by citizens will be greatly appreciated The Christmas shopping will soon be out of the way and then you will have a week to make up your New Year resolutions. Make the first one that you will boost during the year and not knock, that you will not gossip or spread it. When you hear something good about folks, pass it on but when you hear something derogatory to one's character, investigate it well before you tell any one else. Lets be one big family during 1930 with every one for every body. Governor Leslie has called a con-' ference for January 4th to consider the financial troubles which threatens to close the schools of southern Indiana. He will find sentiment strong against any proposition which makes other counties carry some of the load for the school problem is plenty interesting enough in every community these days. A movement is on to have the governor call a special| session to take care of the situation but that has many drawbacks and right serious ones. ♦— « BIG FEATURES OF RADIO SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST Copright 1929 by VP WEAF, NBC network, 6 cst. —Opera “La Tosca” with Alois Harvrilla.
