People in this country ate 185,00u tons of spinach last year, the boys with sharp pencils have figured out, which accounts for the fact that some of us have too much iron in our systems. Down in Perry township, Marion county, a $250,000 school building with a gymnasium that will seat 2,500 people is just being completed and will soon be dedicated. Os emtrse the big feature will be a basketball game. The Indianapolis Star suggests that we could save a lot of money by paying congressmen a commission On what? Surely not for the passage of laws. They do en- » tir ly too much of that now of the kind. « Old man Henderson down at Shreveport would probably get farther in his campaign for the .. small tow ns if he cut out his owa radio selling of coffee, pecans, medicine and about every thing ~ * else that grows or goes. Billy Bell made such a hit broadcasting the basketball game the , other evening that if we ever estah- . „ lish a station here he will often be pressed into service. Ills voice carries well, he knows sports and he has the ability to tell his story “•"* so that every one gets a thrill. Mrs. Gene Alger is quite an actress any way. and was wise * enough to sob her story out on the •T*. witness stand. It would he better for these young men and women who seem inclined to get “wild and * wooly’’ to do some of their .sobbing before they commit serious crimes. The Indiana Bar Association is sponsoring a movement to have *• judges for the supreme and appel- » late court nominated at separate conventions and if that will tend to take our courts out of politics, it will have .he approval of a T million good citizens. That ought tor he. - Looks us though the crime commission appointed by Governor Leslie is trying to place the responsibility of the crime wave ou the courts, lawyers, newspapers or politicians, which of course if just an alibi for some one else. The truth is we are all to blame some and the thing to do is to recoi.■A* *» struct ourselves and each one do if Tittle more to prevent crime and law violations.

Mr. Orr seoms to think he ! can bring butter government to Imke county which he says they ' are entitled to. The senate is certainly provius 1 to (lie complete satisfaction of every western and mid-western farmer that they are not for them, turning them down completely whenever an occasion presents ltsself. Last week the standpatters denied the appeal from the west for a higher duty on hides and so the western group went them one better and put hides on the free list. Seems to be a game of getting each others "hides.’’ Chris Eicher, road superintendent of Adams county, has reorganized his forces and changed the system so that hereafter there will be but four districts, with a stipe:'-" visor for each three townships. This plan has been used successfully the past two years in Allen and in other counties and Mr. Either believes it will result in the best service in this county. Each of the deputies will arrange his own organization and will be Judged by results. Bloomfield, Nebraska, is a town of 1,431 people. It is an agricultural service station in a prairi l country with a bank, flour mill, creamery, doctors, dentists, general stores and the usual line of business. It has become widelv known as "the town where nobody owes.'' Two years ago every business diouse in Bloomfield went on a strictly cash basis. There was an agreement to that effect between Bloomfield business men from the barber to the owner of the biggest general store. They rigidly adhered to it. Business men adopted the system with some misgivings. Today they would not return to the old basis and their customers would not have them There are no more bad debs, or old debts. Business is better than ever in the history of Bloomfield. The customer, paying cash, is getting better bargains than ever before. The business man selling for cash has more customers than ever before. Not one business has left town and the financial agencies give every business house ratings showing that volume has increased and profits are growing. Business men in scores of towns like Bloomfield are watching this expenence with strictly cash business, and there seems Some prospect that the idea will spread.--i Minneapolis Tribune. o f BIG FEATURES OF RADIO ! r i♦ — ♦ Tuesday's Five Best t Radio Features Copyright 1930 by United Press W.JZ (NBC network) 7:00 CST— Pure Oil Hour Vincent Lopez.

Maj. Dan I. Sultan, commanding the. survey, reported to the War Department lie had disposed of Ills engineering troops so that work is being done on both the east and west ends of ithe proposed canal. Nature and climate impose severe difficulties upon the party. Company "A” of the Engineer batalion moved overland by ox-train to reach he Pacific coast where camp has been es ablish<d for survey of Brito Harbor and examination of the proposed route from the lake westward to thp sea. Company "B” is in camp at Greytown on the Caribbean to sur survey that harbor. Communication among the scaitertl units is maintained by four portable radio stations erected by the Signal Corps. Sultan said the fall of 15 inches of rain in two days had compelled temporary discontinuance of some work. Nicaraguans generally have shown enthusiasm for die canal project according to Sultan’s report and other sources 0/ information.

KANSAS CHIAN i. IS COLLECTOR OF HANDCUFFS M. A. (Jill Lines Walls of Homes With Celebrated “Irons” Kansas City- Mo.. Jan. 37-(Ul’>| —The market price on handcuffs is usually on the advance when M. A. Gill of tills city Is in the vicinity I He Is the Bulling collector ot ••cufis wmmlMuffs navy irons and manacles In the United StatesHundreds of these adorn Hu walls of the home, making ins < <>' lection the most valuable ot lkind in the world. Included in the unique display ol toriure Instruments are 5a handcuffs, each of which has been lock-, e<l about the wrists of a murderer j The oldest handcuff in the collet | tion was made in 1620. A pair of Palmer’s navy irons pa j ented in 1876, which came out ot the prison cell of the battleshn Maine adorn one cornr of the j room. They were purchased by G;l.: at an auction at Brooklyn navy >ai< ] To Gill, the most interesting pal of handcuffs in the collection is used to murder Sheriff Homer leau of Muskogee, Okla., on June - 4 . 1922. John Welch, a Negro prisoner In the custody of Teaft, killed the sheriff by beating him over the head with the “cuffs ' and escaped. Welch was freed from the irons by bis wife who chopped through the connecting chain with an ax and then piled open the jaws of the hundfuffs after attempting to file through one of them. The negro then hurried the body of the sheriff and the pair of handcuffs in a swamp where they were found. Five hundred men trailed th. killer more than two weeks before he was captured. Gill tried several months to get the hand-cuffs and was finally successful at the Kansas Peace Officer’s convention held in Wichita. Kan., this fall. Houdini “Cuffs” Tv.-o pairs of handcuffs were obtained by Gill front Mrs. Beatrice Houdini, wife of the late Harry Houdini, the magician. One pair is 1 the Lille Hand Slave lion used ’ by Houdini in his exhibitions.
