Senator Norris refers to our great Senator Watson as “Little ( Jimmy'' and President Hoover as “the engineer of disaster.” Naughty . Norris, if he doesn't get spanked it s will be because these fellows and ( their powerful allies can't find a shingle. Henry Ford says times are good | but the people just don't realize it, tliat President Hoover ought to be 1 re-elected and some other things that you might exercise with by ! trying to laugh off. It's fine to be 1 optimistic but it rarely ever fools ' many people. Folks like the community sale 1 idea for it gives opportunities for s those who desire to buy or sell and < if continued during a few years. * these will prove the greatest crowd ] ( producers of any thing we can do, I and remember that many who at-] 1

A CLEAR COMPLEXSON Ruddy cheeks—sparkling eves—most women can have. Dr. F. M. Edwards for 20 years treated scores of - women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave his patients a substitute for calomel made jf a few well-known vegetable ingredients, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Know them by their olive color. These tablets-are wonder-worker-; on the liver and bowel ;, causing a , normal action, carrying off the waste | and poisonous matter in one's system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowe's, take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleas- | ingresults. Thousands of women and men take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets—now and then to keep fit. 15c, 30c and 60c. 1

tlnguished visitor and plans will be started this week on the definite program. Walter Myers refused to sign the I income tax bill except after notutI ,ing its Irregular course through the senate. His action was frank and ! honest while tile others whp are now trying to run the tide against. Myers worked through old tricky channels. They won't get far for It is already well known that the bill could not have been held good and would have been useless any way without the companion bill to tax corporations. Governor Ijeslie has vetoed the registration law, his excuse being that it would work an expense on every county to correct wrongs in a few. It's right to be careful of expenditures but its also right to protect the ballot and the centers like Lake county have on numerous occasions controlled elections by corrupt balloting. The alibi used by the governor was flimsy and we doubt if it meets the approval of the people. Permanent I registration need not be expensive and it is most important that only those who are eligible should vote. Ella Wendel, 80, unmarried, and last of the old family, died in her sleep and leaves a fortune of two hundred million dollars to be fought over by New YoYrk organizations and distant relatives. The vast fortune didn't do the outfit much good for they lived in seclusion and mystery, refusing the conveniences of gas, electricity and other modern aids to comfort. The world is as well off without them it seems for the great fortune will soon be recirculated. Its a good thing they can’t take the money with, them, isn't it? The Bluffton Tigers won the regional basketball tournament Saturday night, aeteating the Decatur Yellow Jackets, 24 to 15, in a clean game, hard played and close the fiist three quarters when the Jackets lost their sting. The Decatur boys had a stiff game with Huntington in the afternoon while Bluffton had comparatively easysailing with North Side. The Tigers will represent this part of the state at tlie state meet next weekend, their first opponents being the Frankfort five and we are hoping

they go all the way through and give their loyal boosters at home a real chance to celebrate. Go on ' boys and win the big belt and we promise you that when you cele-1 brate we will get the band together I and a lot of horns and whistles and come over and help. The local i team made a good fight and deserves credit for their gameness. I The season has been the best in 1 history and the fans are still strong ’for the Yellow Jackets. , 0

LEO BROTHERS ON TRIAL FOR LINGLE MURDER .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) A deputy sheriff shered him in through a small door beside the ' bench and Brothers seated himself at a small table. Dressed immactli lately in a dark gray suit, lie ap- ' peared nervous and worried, not at all like the iron nerved gunman the state lias pictured. He glanced nervously back a! ; his mother, at the empty jury box and up to the judge's bench. : A deputy sheriff was asked ! whether it wasn't unusual that I Brothers should be treated so indifferently by his guards. "Oh. we're not worried,’ 'tlie deputty replied. "We don't start getting strict until a case goes to the I jury.” The courtroom buzzed when Judge Sabath entered his cliamli- ' ers, followed by the attorneys and j Brothers. Men were standing In the aisles and had climbed upon the window sills for places of vantage.

Among the men in the courtroom were prospective juror It was lor this reason that the preliminary motions were heard in chamb- ] crs. Judge Sabath made no announcement regarding the motions when the hearing in chambers was over. Selection of a jury was started without further delay, the first I talesman being excused when the (state challenged him for admitting a fixed opinion on Brothers’ guilt. ■ o Uncle Ebcn “A boy dnt minds tils father." said Uncle F.hen.
