Its good to live in a city and county w;here abide peace and prosperity and a desire to follow the Golden Rule as we do here. A fine citizenship is assured when every body is really wishing every one else merry days and happy years. We are very fortunate in not having a large number of extremely' i poor and through the cooperation I of many the Good Eellow movement lias been sufficiently successful to assure each of the poor boys and girls, a Christmas of cheer. This should lie a happy occasion for each and every one and we are sure that all have made an effort to make that come true as near as possible. The business men of this locality are loyal always, appreciate your |>atronage and thank you while hoping all the joys in the world for all of you. Since 1919 American industry lias increased twenty-six billions dollars and is now valued at $76,000,000,000. That’s the greatest showing ever made in the world but the sad feature is that during the same period the agricultural income has decreased $3,466,000,000. Surely there is something wrong and it looks as though it could be corrected. There are 6,500,000 individual farm units in this country with a purchasing power of more than twelve billion dollars annually. Certainly it will be good business for congress to give to these folks who produce most of the new goods In the Unit-

Mayor-elect Sullivan starts off well with the appointment of a i board of safety for Indianapolis that should assist the new administration considerably in bringing back the good name of the Hoosier capitol. One of the men chosen is 1 Frank C. Dailey, leading attorney and the democratic candidate for 1 governor last year. He will serve 1 with Charles Meyers and Donald Morris and Jou may safely wager that there will be no graft in the Sullivan administration so far as the safety board is concerned. They are high grade men. ———glM—B—— According to congress Indiana I is to have but eleven congressmen ' instead of thirteen but just when i and how the state will be redistricted is a problem not yet solved. We anticipate it will be quite a 1 mixup when the legislature gets ' at it and you need not be surprised at a deadlock which may result ' in congress itself deciding which two will be sent home.
