II S ’ q The weather man in the Fort , Wayne station claims that 1929 ) was the warmest year, on the average. since the station opened since j the bureau opened there, but he j: didn’t measure it from our coal r pile we'll tell the "cockeyed world." ■ - _ Many Decatur people concentraled on Decatur made products for ' Christmas and tliats important all it the year. The more money you rl spend which is kept at home the more chance you have to get it back. Keep it up during 1930 and check the results. _ — Every day can be New Year if we make it that and making a good resolution each day wouldn’t be a ” bad idea for we are all prone to •’] forget them after the first day or two and we do need the result of good resolutions kept religiously for a year at a time. it " Secretary Mellon and others of 0) the cabinet and many financiers predict that 1930 will be a normal year and perhaps a record breaker, t which makes us feel like giving n; three rousing cheers but perhaps we had better wait until they have , delivered the goods before we i.o celebrate too much. HE ■ ty A barber in Council Bluffs, lowa, in yesterday renewed his pledge not to permit women to enter his shop, m He trled if tbe past y ear a nd says m his business doubled which proves there are still a lot of men who prefer to read the Police Gazette and spit on the floor as in the old days.

Mr. Hoffman ana i Mr. Shoemaker entered upon their second and third terms respectively. The board has proven a splendid working body and are regardj ed highly by the citizens of this county and by those from over the f state who transact business with them. If Senator Borah and some of

TODAY’S CHUCKLE 0 _ (U .R> ♦ Paris. — The custodians of | Luxembourg Gardens, known as the children’s garden of Paris, have ruled that chil- j , dren can no longer play with scooters in the park. ♦ ■ ♦ those boys down in Washington wish to get some real publicity they can do it by putting a broadcasting station in the senate and house and they won’t need Me name or Quinn or any of the boys to do the fancy stuff. Indications are that the coming session with its prhoibition, tariff and other proposed acts will furnish plenty of opportunities for all kinds of! interesting radio jazz. Governor Leslie faces a tough' year. There is the school aid proolem, the idle coal fields, the parole proposition on which he is at various times on one side or the other, the ever increasing cost of government with so many not caring about it and the sky the limit, the ' highways and many others including those of the Calumet district and the 1930 election. Its not all pleasure, this business of being governor of a great state. Thrift is the most important thing for every one. Its good training for the boy or girl and provides them a nest egg with which to start their business careers. Its fine and necessary for those of middle age for it makes it so much easier to meet expenses when they appear unexpectedly. Its necessary for those who are older so that they may pay their own way as they go. Start a savings account in your bank and keep at it tenaciously. You will never regret it. Mure than 430 miles of pavement was constructed by the Indiana state highway commission durin:; 1929 and there is a promise that more than 500 miles will be added in 1930. The gasoline tax alone brought in over sixteen million dollars and the license receipt! and other funds gave the commission some twenty-five million dollars. This should build a lot of milts besides maintaining the roads already built. The people of Indiana have a right to feel proud of her record of road» building and the job has been well done with- . out the issuance of bonds. t Now the investigators of the . school situation find that the finan- . tial conditions are as serious in . northeastern Indiana as they ar? . in the south section and perhap.i i more so but they have Just been , keeping still and meeting it as t best they can. While a number of the counties which started ail the fracas are complaining because t the tax levies must exceed the

| $1.20 per SIOO valuation minimum r I levy required by law practically I ; every school unit in this and sur- ■ j rounding counties has for years ■ i been over that or mighty close to B I it. It looks as though the safest I way to meet the problem is to ■ ' make each county take care of its- I self as much as possible. I ■ o — ♦ ; ♦! I Modern Etiquette By * ROBERTA LEE ♦ (u.r) ♦; I Q.
