You must have the report in by March 15th. Whether you think the groundhog knows any thing about the weather, you will that the safe thing to do is to plan for a month or two of rather disagreeable stuff and any old tinier will tell you as much.

There is really nothing wrong ab»ut the times unless it is that so many folks prefer to talk about that rather than take an optimistic view. If you will compare your business with that of any other yedr at this particularly period you wifi probably find it stacking right up. Buck up, grit your teeth and keep on going and smiling. Four fires in Decatur in one day is Very unusual, in fact we don’t remember that it ever happened before Tuesday. The firemen handled. each one promptly and with almost no damage to any of the. properties. We have a splendid fire department here and a mighty good equipment, a condition that ought to be fully appreciated and we believe is. 'Che nation is hoping and praying" for the recovery of William Howard Taft, one of her most illustrious and most widely beloved citizens. His health is so badly Impaired that grave doubts are ex pressed for his recovery and the sorrow is felt the length and breadth of the land. He has been an outstanding figure in American national life for many years and his honesty, his downright integrity and his fairness have appended -to all. We sincerely hope his' life may be spared for many years, Au agreement has been reached between the ministers of Wabash and the Chamber of Commerce of that city that it is believed will make it unprofitable for outsiders to work the old directory, church book, cook book, traffic guide,

calendar and other so-called business games. The ministers upon request from the business association have agreed to cooperate to bring a stop to the practise which has proven expensive and of little value compared to the cost. Down in Ft. Smith Ark., the Ft. Smith Garment Company manufactures overalls. The vice presl dent of the company once told In "Printers’ Ink" an interesting story of its experience in increasing volume. He said. “It took us twelve years to build a business from scratch to a certain volume without advertising. With advertising the volume increased 500 per cent in two years. So that we may use approximate figures we had built our production up to 1.0O 1 ) dozen a month and our overhead and selling cost was 34,000 a month. That made a coat of $4 a dozen. Two years after becoming advertisers our volume increased 5,000 dozen a month. The overhead didn't remain the same but increased 100 per cent to SB,OOO a month. As a result, the overhead and selling cost was reduced to $1.60 a dozen. We reduced the price $1 a dozen to the retailer, paid back 50 cents a dozen to the advertising appropritaion and had 90 cents a dozen extra profit on account of the advertising." Reduced the price to the retailer; paid for the advertising and increased the profit! Is there any “waste” about that? The report of the national crime commission's subcommittee on pardons, paroles, probation, penal laws and ‘iitsLiUtfional correction, as made by its chairman, Frank O. Lowden, former Governor of Illinois, is not very encouraging to the sentimental theorists, who for thirty years have been directing the public attitude toward prisons and reform into channels which take little account of the victim of crime or the right of the people to freedom from apprehension on account of known criminals being at large. Many of the theories of these reformers seem to spring "rom the conviction that the man robbed of his life savings is deserv:ng of less sympathy than the thief. The theory that society 19 responsible for the weakness of the criminal is a reformer's idea. The Lowden committee found that the greatest weakness is in the personnel of prison management. It is on these men and women that the burden of actual reform, as prescribed by the theorists remote from the actual problem, falls.
