imagine the influence that could I be brought to bear on each and I every member of the assembly if all the churches and lodges got busy? It would sure take a stout constitution and strong disposition to weather that. Some reublican has offered a bill to reapportion Indiana, placing Ad ams county in the fifth district with Jay, Wells, Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Madison, and Ranj dolph, no doubt depending on the four counties last mentioned, to keep the district in the republican column. If the house votes for that, we will be greatly surprised. That’s tile difficulty however, to find a plan that will be acceptaple to democrats and republicans. Because President Hoover is at odds with congress and they have persisted in making monkeys of themselves, New York, which means Wall Street, now* deHares the President's stock is going up, according to David the well-known political writer. Let ! 'er go. If that's all it takes to wipe • out the record of the administration we may as well quit worrying. __________ A fitting honor lias been paid to i the memory of the late Edward G. I j Hoffman. Fort Wayne attorney and banker and founder of the plan to make Limberlost camp near Rome City a permanent camping ground for the Hoy Scouts of the Fort Wayne Area. Hereafter that camp will be known as the Edward G. Hoffman Boy Scout camp, thus keeping alive the name of the man who more than any one else was responsible for it. Tile postal department is a hundred million behind, due to the efforts to establish air mail deliveries and President Hoover has made up iiis mind to ask congress to increase the postal rates. This will punish every one, rich and poor in the country. Seems as though a special appropriation could be made to cover any experi- ! umnjMig government cares, to do. <lo not hesitate to spend money in many ways more foolish’ and this certainly would be preferable to a tax on mail matter at this time when ever one is trying to j make ends meet. Adams Post, No. 43, American Legion, will present the name of Paul H. Graham, of this city, at the state convention, as a candidate for state commander. They will make no mistake if they elect him to this high honor. He is a hustler, a man of excellent judgment and has a war record second to none of the boys from Indiana which made such a splendid show-j ing in the great World War. Mr. i Graham's many friends here will not only boost for him but will go down the line in every way necesisary to show to the delegates of the convention that they are for 1 him. Adams Post is one of the good ones of the state and the election of Mr. Graham would be a recognition of that organization as well as Mr. Graham who has had much to do with building it. » — - ° ~ * In The Legislature 50 Years Ago By United Press Sf » The European custom of settling arguments with duels found little favor among Indiana lawmakers in Ifßßl, although the practice was ! said to be common in southern states at the times. Representative G. H. Gibson, of Charlestown, was an ardent supporter of Hie "gentlemen's method” for settling quarrels and attempted to modify the strict Indiana law against such practices. He introduced an amendment to the state's criminal code which would have allowed a person to fight a duel if the combat was staged outside the confines of Indiana. The Gibson amendment also would have repealed that part of the criminal code which made dueling a punishable offense. The sololis, however, remained unconvinced after Gibson's eloquent appeals for the measure and rejected Hu; proposals with little argument. j 0 Miss Lois Ogg is confined to her .home on South Seventh street with I illness.

Photographic- ; | ally, the golden- i haired girl is a ; much more dis- , ficu'.t subject , than her sister, j the brunette, according to j Victor Milner, ; vice president j of the Ameri- 11 can Society of cinematograph • , ers and a -frequent contributor to mag a • zines devoted to the camera

■-jd William Powell.

“Brunettes are easier to photograph, because shadows and dark tones are what make pictures interesting,” says Milner. “Blondes offer little contrast to the camera. Light hair, light eyes, light skin all blend into one another. This makes it necessary to handle lighting so the features that give character will stand out. It takes almost twice as long to ‘set up’ to photograph a blonde as it does a brunette/’ <• Incidentally, Mr. Milner is wrestling with the problem in his current assignment, "Man of the World,” in which Carole Lombardo appears opposite William Powell at Paramount SHE’LL BE A STAR. Frances McCoy tells the one about the business-like young actress who rushed up to the pro ducer after her name had been 1 left out of the advertisements. “Look here,” she warned, “no billing, no cooing.” THE PRACTICAL SWEDE.

Maple Moth The article written by our Coun-1 ty Agent in legard to the maple moth Contained many good suggestions, but there must be something done before the spraying of the trees will be as successful as it should be to eradicate the pest, namely: The tops should be relieved of all dead, superfluous or unnecessary limbs to allow the sui) to shine through the tops, you will notice that the moth works through the thick shady part of the tree, also the trunk of tree should be cleaned of all rough bark and then treated with some solution that will kill the insects tliat work on the body of tlie tree. This moth if allowed to spread as it did last year on Adams, and Jefferson streets it will soon be all over the city, it affects rose bushes diming vines, flowering plants as well.
