Well,; perhaps a good old fashioned war ; would help if we could get some j insurance that no one would get j hurt. Time is about up for hooking in the new automobile licenses and after _s{<>nday you are taking considerable chances on paying a fine which will be more than the cost uY the plates. That will be foolish. So it now. — '.'he law is no respecter of persens in Indiana. When governors »r others of high place disobey they must pay the penalty and now see add to the list the name of a — Congressman who is alleged to have gpld postoffices out for cash. -Sixty-seven bills effecting taxes have been introduced in the Indiana legislature thus far and if they sjwuld all pass we could just quit Shd let the state officials operate {Jo whole show without recompense. M* — Harry Rowbottom will find it a rather difficult job to “kid" the Federal court, before which he must appear on a charge of having -eold postoffices'’ in his district while Be was congressman. Even | u.l e W*r politicians occasionally make misplays it seems. •* There is a general trend of better business. You can see it in ••very report and you can notice it U you look for it. Keep up your *• aouragj and don't forget to smile al letotT a part of the time. We are gpirn? to lick this old depression Sid that real soon. •'Much as most folks will regret to give up a congressional seat Hom Indiana we believe they mould prefer that Io another in yeasc in the total membership of {Je house which already so unwieldy that no recent Prisident ITas found a stick large enough to whip them into line on any reasonable proposition. ■H 7, We hope you renew your subJ&ription to the Daily Democrat Qpcause we need the money and ©•cause we feel sure you need the gpper. Up to date wo have not Night Coughing Quickly Relieved _ Famous Prescription Gives Almost Instant Relief " Night coughs or coughs caused bj' a cold or by an irritated throat ■re usually due to conditions which ordinary medicines do not reach. But the very first swallow of Thoxhie, a doctor's prescription, is guar, ijhteed to give almost instant relief. Xhoxine works on a different principle, it goes direct to the internal uiuse. Thoxine Is pleasant tasting and safe for the whole family. It will give you better and quicker relief for coughs or sore throat than anything you have ever tried or your money will be refunded.

kept up onr usual pace of renewals and we are hoping every member ol our large family will get in under the wire before we have to check them off. Do it this week. It is a little difficult to understand why the people of Indiana should be asked to raise $20,000,000 when a couple of hundred thousand dollars would entirely correct the deficit which closed a number of schools in the south part of the state last year That's one trouble with us, we do things too strong when we decide to do them. Nine senators have signed a bill which proposes to standardize time in Indiana by making it ail eastern. Ohio did a similar thing a few years ago and it seems to be entirely satisfactory. This would settle the question and make every town have the same time and whether we like it or not that will probably be the rule or the laweast of Chicago in a few years. Edward I. Edwards, for many years an outstanding political and financial figure, former governor and senator and powerful leader in New Jersey, committed suicide by shooting himself. He lost his puli with the people, then his fortune slipped away and then came poor health. It was too much even for a once giant and his death by his cwn hand followed. They are surveying the proposed lake near Geneva, a part of the program to rebuild and preserve the Llmberlost made famous by the writings of Mrs. Gene StrattonPorter. No improvement that the conservation department could make would provide more genuine pleasure or attract more visitors than this. Every one should support it and will we feel sure if given an opportunity. The Auburn automobile plant is going ahead at a gait that makes the old timers sit up and take notice, their orders the first three weeks of January exceeding any I other period in their history and the worst luck we hope for them is that they keep it up until they have to build all over that part of the state. Its a good §ign when any manufacturing concern is going full time and there seems to be a genuineness to this spurt that i ought to help in various ways. Adams Post, American Legion, a i bunch of live young men favor the holding of a street fair here n xt September and will also sponsor

again the Junior baseball league which furnished so much amusement last year. They hope to add several trains to the league, thus increasing the interest. Plans for the fair will be announced in due tim - and will include efforts to make it as clean as possible In. every way. That it pays to do things has been demonstrated here many times and will we do not doubt in these efforts this year. o *T - IVENTY years I AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File * Jan. 28 —Columbia City basketball team defeats Decatur 30 Io 11.

■ford and Varick Fraselle, Yale J graduate, are back from New- 1. foundland with a picture called, [ “The Great Arctic Seal Hunt.” Paramount is looking at it. QUEEN RUTH. One morning this week Para- j mount officials were amazed to J read in the newspapers that Ruth ’ Chatterton had signed a contract j with Warner Brothers. J The shock was all the greater R because Ruth’s contract with ■ Paramount doesn’t expire until ! October. 2 Nevertheless, it is true and Ruth ■ will go to her new studio home ‘ with a two-year agreement that 0 makes her practically queen of her J own destiny. Under its terms, she J makes only three pictures a year, I choses her own stories, sits in on ? the writing and picks her own di- ■ rector and cast For her services, it is reported she will receive $1,000,000. ‘ In the meanwhile, she has to J make pictures for Paramount until j October. And a lot of things can J happen in that time. DOROTHY’S NEXT. After her vacation, Dorothy Mackaill will return to First Na- f tional to star in “Reckless Hour,” ! a story that was left over from last J year’s program. It has a father and daughter ! angle, and is ultra-modem in back- [ ground. In all likelihood, Dorothy will not , leave Hollywood during her vaca- I tion. IS THAT NICE? Inspired by the Warner coup, I which also took William Powell ! away from Paramount, a Holly- | wood wag revises a familiar I slogan: ‘lf it has a Paramount , star, it’s the best Warner picture I in town.” AWFUL POSSIBILITIES. Another wit observes: “Can I you imagine what this business'! will come to when one studio starts I hiring another’s relatives?” DO YOU KNOW~ That Esther Ralston once worked as a dishwasher in a Salt Lake restaurant when a theatrical company of which she was a member was stranded there?
