Will Rogers wants to know what we think about the administration setting the White House on fire to destroy its own record. What record, Bill? Old Sol took a hand in clearing the roads of snow today and another day or two like yesterday and today will get rid of the two feet of snow that came for Christmas. As the highways soften remember that you can help save them by reporting those who haul eXcess- - ive loads over them. Don’t let any - one destroy in a few minutes what Z it has taken a life to get besides _ a heap of money. So many cork screws, flasks. - shakers and other drink accessories were sold in tlie large cities • that it might be well for the spec- _ ial commission to send out a general notice that there is a Volstead law and eighteenth amendment for most people don’t known or don't believe it. - It may interest you to know that rabbit pelts are manufactured into fifty-seven different kinds of advertised fur from Artic seal to visonette Rabbits are easy to raise and at the first auction sale of pedigreed rabbits to be held here next month you will be given the oppor- . tunity to start a real herd. It was tough that a fire had to occur at the White House on “ Christmas eve and hard luck that it had to happen at all, but since it did there is this to cheer us up "The worst cough JBBU ||i I ever hod I — stopped \ Overnight" \ ’’l don’t remember ever having coughed so often as that morning I was caught in a snow storm —six miles from nowhere. By the time I got home I was sure I was in for a long indoor spell. Days taken away from my business —a pleasant Prospect'S No such thing happened — thanks to Smith Brothers'. I took the syrup faithfully and when I awoke the next morning my cough had completely quieted down.” Frank Mullen SMITH BROTHERS 77 7p !e Act io n t Wm COUCH R u p

♦ —* <’l TODAY’S CHUCKLE 4 (U.D «i ' Atlanta, Go. — Manufacturers of jack-knives might inI investigate the fact that Georgia’s commissioner of forestry is C. A. Whittle. —the part that burned was the new • section and not the old building about which there is so' many . wonderful historical traditions. 1 Now for the inventories and the final audit to see whether we made any money or are still in the "red ink." And then for a new year, each determined to do better next year. Starting with the proper pep and a worth while plan is half the battle for any firm, individual or community. «\ young fellow robbed a drug store at Fort Wayne Christmas eve but was caught between those in the store and a couple of huskies who were coming in as he backed away with his hand on a mythical gun. He got a good licking and was locked up to face charges. If this method of action towards these guys becomes popular the hold-ups will lessen to a marked degree. The farmer who is not raising beets provided he figures he has the soil and can do it at all is just , passing up a mighty fine opportunity to help himself to encourage a business which provides an additional crop to be rotated with the others. Several hundred this year made as much as they could have received per acre for their land. A hundred per cent is a better profit than most any farmer | or merchant can derive from his investment. Looks as though Henry Hay s putting over a good one on the boys up in Gary. Ross Johnson was nominated for mayor by the republicans and Emmett White by the democrats. Johnson won by about 4,000. White charges that he is ineligible because of the 1921 statute which decrees that any one who has served more than a six months sentence for a felony cannot hold public office Now Hay asks that both men be restrained from taking over his office until they can settle the matter It begins to look like a triangle toss-up. If Moran and Mack, the Two Black Cjows, were to give a safety talk, they could find a large subject surrounding their expression, "You can’t do that," which was used when a physician instructed one of them to take a pill, three times a day. Every motorist should learn what he can do and what he can’t do when the streets are covered with ice. For instance, you cant stop at a traffic signal by jamming on the brakes if traveling at a speed of ten miles an I hour, if the ice is fresh and slick. [ No, you can’t do that. This fact is evidenced by the amount of glass at street intersections where somebody has tried to stop but couldn't. The thing to do, when approaching a traffic signal is to slow down gradually to a speed where a stop | may be made if necessary without skidding. During the icy periods 1 of winter care must be exercised I at all street intersections and all I rights must be waived for the motorist who can't stop. Os course this gives the advantage to the reckless driver but no personal or property injury has ever been cured or righted by the fact that the injured person was merely observing his rights.—Hoosier Motorist. o — 8 Power of Softness V bank of mow six feet thick . 11l stop a bullet shot nt the di* ’ , n ,.
