Well, most folks have a better chance to get hold of a quarter than they do those thousand dollar bills that were put out recently. Chairman Raskob of the demo-

crqjic national committee wants ■suggestions for the platform for next year. Why not let that ride until the convention meets so that the representatives of the resolutioßs committee will be something more than rubber stamps? From what we have noticed it will be rather difficult to tell those gentlemen what they can or ought to do. More gasoline taxes is being paid in Indiana than ever before, which makes many think that more gas is being sold. There is however some doubt about that. The books m the office of Floyd Williamson, stgtf auditor, show that they are doiuj,' a better job of collecting than has ever been done and that accounts for considerable of the gain. TBe American Legion is gaining membership each year and Indiana is-lteeping up with the rest of the states. Adams county showed a gain of forty last year and now lias a total membership to Adams Post of 275. Its a splendid organization with great power and we are glad to say that power is being extended ftisely and for the greatest good of the greatest number.

* MRS. UNA SMITH, Latenla. Ky, Where All Else Failed, This Helped The experience of Mrs Lina Smith, 74 years old, 3814 Church Street, Latoma. Ky., should be a lesson to anybody who is despondent because of illness, and can find no remedy. She tried every medicine she heard about. One day she heard about MALVA Now see what she has to say. “When anything has given anybody the great blessing that MALVA, the wonderful new family medicine, has given to me, I think they owe it to the makers of that product to thank them, and to make the product known to everybody who might benefit. After everything else failed, MALVA restored me to health." • Why not try a bottle—today? » (MALVA MEBICINI CO., CINCINNATI, OHIO) Call now for this wondarful madicina at Holthouse Drug Co.

The judge is presumed to have more knowledge than the outsider who only read a • part of the evidence published, but on general principles it looks to ■ folks outatate that he Is looking at this case in a very wrong light. ■ Crime will not be checked when courts or individuals permit their sentiments to run riot. Justice is I i usually a matter of good common * sense. I ‘ rLr ' ' 1 i The wheels of justice grind slow- ' ly but Albert Fall, a member of I the cabinet under the late President Harding, no doubt realizes I that they grind. After the usual ' delay of affairs in connection with | i the government, the District of Columbia Appellate court, lias affixed the conviction and sentence of Fall and Henry Blackmer in the I famous Elk Hill oil cases. Fall, now a broken old man. must serve a year and pay a fine of ♦IOO,OOO. Its a far drop from the place of affluence once held by this man to the stripes of a felon and another exhibit A in the contention that it never pays to be any thing but on the level. When the great Roxy got back to New York recently after a trip j ' that took him from Atlanta to Minneapolis and elsewhere, he had a message for his fellow New Yothers. He told them that there is a ''Broadway” in every city he visited, that there are no "sticks” and no “hayseeds” any more west of the Hudson river. The people

His observations may be taken as complimentary or a little depressing, according to the viewpoint. They are probably fairly true. Movie, radio, ; book clubs, automobiles, good j roads and the touring habit have been doing a great job of standardizing. We vary a little, still, in bur preferences for scenery. Some of us like tall buildings and some like mountains or prairies. On the whole, however, we've become as like as peas in a pod.

This particular solution for the liquor problem is new. Nobody has yet poposed it in Washington. If Reno wants to try it, presumably' that is Reno's business. Many will find the proposal'alluring, but it's hard to see what Reno would get out of it. And where does Uncle!

I came upon him in the Casino at Agua Caliente, famous Mexican resort, i Abandoning his play at roulette, he I talked of his disagreement with I Paramount over the film that is now being made under the direction of Josef Von Sternberg. “My objections to the scenario were the sole purpose of my coming to California,” he admitted. “You simply can't tell the book in the limited treatment they have given it. I have stated my objee- I tions, and they have been very . courteous—you know how these fights are. 1 shall stay here a day, a week—there’s no telling.” The author says that an earlier scenario, prepared by S. M. Eistenstein, the Russian director, thoroughly met with his approval. It called for many more reels, however. Philipps Holmes does very well ! in that part of the picture which Dreiser has seen, he declares, but he favors the work of Morgan Farley in the New York stage version, and even of Leslie Fenton, who appeared in the Coast version. Os Josef von Sternberg, the novelist, merely remarks that he ■ might have been more polite. The film troupe working on the picture is due baek from location tomorrow. Things may happen I then. ——.
