The rain on the sleet on the snow made it a little difficult to walk and reminded us of the days when we used to climb sand hills, slipping back almost a« far as one stepped each time. We don't like to discourage the young man who is just finishing paying his installments on the diamond he gave his girl for Christmas but you might as well know now that you are just, beginning to pay and pay and pay. Information comes from Ptiriltv that there will be a shortage of good seed corn the coming spring and those who have it can confer a favor by notifying the county agent so the widest distribution may Ire made. There are more than two hundred millionaires in Indiana it is claimed and a third of those have come during the past few years but tliey were not in the news paper business, farming or small town retailing. Politics is getting a litjle thick and will pruiiably continue to !>■ inte -esting until the primaries settle the first preliminary. Indications are that there will be plenty of candidates for the democratic nomination for every office in the county. The committee appointed to in vestigate the prohibition conditions in Washington, the capitol city, have reported that its no worse than in other cities of that size. So there you are and what can be done about it? Governing by com mittee's and commissions is a slow and.futile system. Will Rogers sympathizes with Balie Ruth who is demanding a three yea,- contract at SBS,Mb per, more than the president draws, but Bill reminds us that the "Babe" cant appoint a commission to knock bi; home runs. He has to step up to the plato and swat the Lail himself. ■ -Lt-!— Dr. James Snook, the Ohio University professor who devoted a good bit of time to entertaining stenographers and finally murdered his sweetheart seems to be on its last lap. He is sentenced to die the last day of this month and the supreme court has i ejected Ills appeal for a hearing. One of the greatest lights in congress 'nftwenty years is now under way, the enacting of a new tariff law. The giants of the senate have their sleeves rolled up and action stalled right off the bat. It you I enjoy politics you will probably got plenty ol that diet the next ten mouths, local, state and national. When tho year closes you will find again that some have mude money and gone ahead while ot'ters have stood still or backed up. I You can b f ’ in either class, for its mostly up to you and the effort you put in. This Is the month when you take your choice. De au i

I♦ < TODAY’S CHUCKLE « (U.R) • Paris. — France has bootleggers who sell water. The police have just rounded up a "water ring” who were systematically stealing bottled mineral waters. They disposed of SO,OOO bottles valued nt 100,000 francs. i optimist. Its easier and you are sure to be happier and more successful. The people of tho nation regret exceedingly to hear of the illness of William Howard Taft, former president and present chief justice of the supreme court. Physicians say the trouble will soon yield to treatment and wo hope so though there are some things about the symptoms that don't sound so good. Mr. Taft is one of the soundest and safest and most widely beloved men in America. Edward Bok. until recently edi-

, tor of the Ladies Home Journal, died suddenly at his winter home in Florida yesterday and there is much genuine sorrow for Bok was widely beloved and generally admired. He came to America as an immigrant boy, got a job as a messenger for the Western Union, then got a place with a publishing company and soon demonstrated ability both as a writer and an executive. His rise was spectacular and he amassed a great fortune. The city council is getting away to a fine start and the coming year as well as the three to follow will no doubt be productive of many things of benefit to the people of the community. They contemplate extending lines to the rural sections thus adding to the revenue of the local plant and providing a great convenience for those they thus serve. They will meet next Wednesday with several manufacturers to discuss the advisability of a reduction of the power rate. The farmers are organizing under the farm bureau plan and while you may not agree to every thing they are urging, you will admit that its time for them to get together and to stand for what they feel is to their own interests. A campaign for membership is starting now and the organization will probably double during the next few months. The farmer has suffered in numerous ways the past few years and prosperity will come to this country only when they have been fairly treated and when there is a cooperation among farmers and business men and the citizens in general. ♦- I CONGRESS TODAY ♦ (UR) Senate Continues debate on Sugar tariff.
