With new city ami county officials organized and down to business we are all ready to go ahead and make this the best year in all history. Lets pull together and help each other. That's the finest record we can hope to make. The government doesn't carry — fire-insurance on her public build- ..

It always comes to those who disregard the pessimist and fight on after the bell rings. A couple of fine looking young men recently visited LaGrange and one or two other towns In northern Indiana where they solicited advertisements and collected the money on the promise that they would put out a church directory. By misrepresentations and fake letters of recommendation they secured the endorsement of ministers and after collecting a considerable sum, left town and have not been heard from. Warnings have been sent out by the ministers for others to be on the lookout. The Good Fellows club has completed its splendid record of raising a fund and providing Christmas for the poor boys and girls of the community by publishing a report which shows just how much money was secured and how it was spent which should add to the popularity of their work. The list included 115 suits of underwear, 257 pair of stockings, 27 sweaters, 38 pair of overalls, 31 dresses and many other articles of wearing apparel besides toys and candies. It was a wonderful performance of a good work. While there may be some doubt as to the success of some of the administrations of the larger cities in Indiana, it is safe to predict I hat Indianapolis, for some years disgraced by corrupt and inefficient officials, until L. Ert Slack was made the chief -executive a couple of years ago, will step forward rapidly the next few years under the guidance of Reginald Sullivan, than whom no one stands higher in fiis home city. His father who served as mayor of that city ji the early nineties, administered the oath of office and Mr. Sullivan's appointments as announced give evidence of his desire to serve his town. Indianapolis is well out of her civic difficulties. o

ROAD BUILDING SEEN AS KEY TO U. S. RELATIONS Mexican and Cen. American Programs Expected to Speed Understanding By Lyle C. Wilson Unit d Pt css Staff Corn spondent Washington. Jan. B—(UP8 —(UP) —The problem of American relations wltn Mexico and Central America is expected by officials to be greatly simplifi <1 by consummation of road buildings projects upon which repot” s ate now being compiled in Washington. Governmental difficulties in Central America, notably in Nicaragua, have resulted in great part from in ffective systems of communications. Every mtttre 'towaid better roads in considered here to decrease the likelihood of evolution with is frequent accompaniment of intervention and ill feeling. A preliminary canvass of Mexican and Central American highway projects shows that six countries will tpend in the n ighborhood of SIOO,000,000 in th' next 10 years on their ar ."r?;l and connecting roadways. Sui v-ey of the highway problem ■in fronting Mexico and the smaller R'.publics shows that the requirement to be m -t is adequate funds although engineering difficulties are tremendous in much of the area. Arctic to Equator The highway programs being developed to the south of the Rio Grande will find a link through the United Stat s the project for a system of Canadian and Alaskan highways which would open to the automobile tourist an uninterrupted, pleasure route from the rim of the An t e Circle to a point below the Equator and to the truckman and unrivaled chain of commercial routes. M xico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama have undertaken or contemplated importnt road making projects Mexico has created special tax legislation to provide $40,900,009 for highways during the next six years Tobacco and gasoline taxes have been earmarked by Mexico for the National Highway Commission. M xico has avoided foreign and domestic bond issues to raise highway funds. Guatemala's hostility to foreign loans is considered to have hampered highway construction. Tire h ad tax system of raising funds has been adopted but collection dilf.cuities have prevented satisfactory operation. Road are ill located from general revenues. Honduras has been spending between $’.00,000 and $500,000 annually on road making but now has under consideration a new highway law to piovide $1,000,000 annually. Salvador is engaged on a $12,000,000 ptop -< t adopted In 1925 providing for construction of an 800 mile system of nabtoUal highways. Nicaragua lias b en sp-nding about SIBO,000 on roa-ds. Tile nature of Nicaragua's problem depends upon American action on the second canal project. Major D. I.

SCULPTOR ASKS BURIAL AT MILL MONTPARNASSE Bourdelle’s Widow Seeks Permission to Carry Out Last Wish By N. Reynolds Packard Paris, Jan. 8 — (UP) — An old windmill of Montparnasse may become final resting plac? of EmileAntoine Bourdelle, famous Frbnch sculptor, who died some months ago. A committee of artists is ait present investigating the suitability of the mill as a tomb for one of France's greatest sculptors of al! times, following the request of his window that he be interred there. This was a wish that he had often expressed to his friends, explaining th»t he wanted to be buried in Montparnasse near the studio where he achieved many of his best works. Centuries old, this mill is no longer used to grind flour as in the middle of the 18th century when it was the property of the Jesuit Order. On the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1762 the building ehangvd hands and its new owners converted part of it into a hist rot where sparkling wines were sold. Now it is a mere storehouse and the gnea; flapping arms which turned in the wind have been stripped off In 1824 the ground around the mill became the cemetery of Mont, parna-se and the 'mill was used as a home for the grave-digger. Snn th°n many unsuccessful attempts have bo n made to convert it into a historical monument under the care of city authorities.
