Here's a little hint for the law makS^t—lllinois received $145,000 in ttrSW and license fees from box ing nh*ws last year. They held 257 shows with a total of $1,015,000 in door receipts. We may have a little winter yet as the pessimists are predicting j but there is one sure thing and ' that is we can t have as much as j If it had started last November j and kept up. - have to hurry now if you need 1931 automobile 11- j censes. This is the date fixed by the secretary of state as the final day of grace. They have been lenient and surely we cannot expect them to wait any longer. Stocks have been soaring a little the past few days but look out — there are a lot of fellows waiting for a few points gain and when they nnload. away it will probably go again for there is no very substantial reason for a continued rise. There seems to be 154 different opinions as to just how the tax I problem in Indiana should be solv-1 en and it goes without saying that this will have to boil down considerably before they are going to make any soap. Seems like there are an unusual number of people fishing this winter. About every day we hear of ahunch of them being washed out to sea on a berg. Perhaps a life saving apparatus would be a good thing for those who desire to en-. joy this summer sport in the middle I of winter. Wo don't know just how the I legislature stands on the old age pension and the sales tax but we believe neither would rec ive much actual support if a vote was taken over the state. Some times some things look alright until we have to piyj the fiddler and then we dance .without music. «/> Jill _ I I - Owen D. Young says there is no chance for him to be nominated for President, but if he keeps on making wise suggestions as to govtrnnient’Tic may be called to take the joilAjiore he would have the power to execute them.

that he is one of the world’s greatest thinkers and the fine thing about it is that he can combine Ideals with practical Ideas. If the legislature adjourns with--1 out doing something that will relieve taxes and leave behind them only a pile of appropriations, they will disappoint a million tax payees who have faith in them and expect them to perform in a better way. A canning factory Is possible if we go after it hard enough, several are planning improvements this j year, we will get a new federal building, there will be road building and by some extra effort we feel we could get the state to help on our roads, the city parks should be Improved—-there Is plenty to do and the Chamber of Commerce wants you to help them do it. General Butler's court martial has been dismissed, which actidh will meet the approval of about every one. The old hoy may be a little indiscreet in remarks and may side step occasionally one way or another, but let a war break out j and watch him step. He doesn’t | make mistakes then and his past I record certainly warrants tlie eas-( iest way out of his present scrape ' il tliats what it might be called. ■ — A. R. Aslibaucher is busy completing an organization to assist ihim in doing things for the comImunity this year. Fred you know lis the new president of the Deicatur Chamber of Commerce and lias some excellent ideas which if supported by the business men will help every one. If he calls on you to serve, don't hesitate but say, yes siree, get your coat off and go to it. Deep and sincere is the sorrow here over the terrible accident which Edward G. Hoffman, prominent Fort Wayne attorney and banker, suffered. He was popular all over this section of Indiana for besides his prominence in business he has for years taken an active part in church, lodge, social and public affairs. Able and courteous,, desirous of rendering service to his | fellow man, he has answered every I i<all within his power. Only last I week he came here to address the (Chamber of Commerce at their annual meeting and his advice was sound and sensible. He was for years active in politics and served i as secretary of the Democratic I national committee during two campaigns. His services will be missed to a very great extent, especially in this ~art of Indiana where he spent his life and had a wide acquaintance. t — - — — — - — - — II Household Scrapbook I By || ROBERTA LEE • — « Faded Co'ors The colors in wash goods, that have become faded by using strong soaps or washing soda, can be re vived by adding a spoonful of vinegar to each quart of rinsing water.

Why, he has gone up yonder, too his home in Heaven And he will never, never return. How we miss you' dearest father, As we move around our home, And think how can we stand it If you will be forever gone. And as we go from room to room, And listen here, and there, i We cannot even hear your voice, And see nought bu your vacant chair. But we know that we can meet you Up above, beyond the sky. Where there will be no more sad partings Ami we will never say good bye. — Card of Thanks We in this manner wish to taank the friends and neighbors for thenmany deeds of kindness, for the beautiful floral offerings, the choir for the beautiful songs and the pastors for their consoling words during the-death of our dear father, and grand-father.
