" • i Jack Dempsey, it seems, is trying out Nevada's new six week di- , vorce law, which means that all a , fellolv or a woman has to do is to . go to a hotel there, stay six weeks, thus gain residence and proceed to prove that his supposed life partner doesn't fit. Jack and Estella have had a lot of front page pule i licity, seem to like it and will get more.

It is pleasing to every one here that the Rev. B. H. Franklin, pastor of the Methodist church in this city, has been returned by the Northern Indiana Conference, for another year. Rev. Franklin is a splendid minister, has done much for his church during the past trying year, is a man among men and with his family is very popular hero* ami because they deserve it on merit. You can do a good turn ami find a lot of enjoyment by encouraging your hoys and girls to plant a small garden to be all their own, from which they may sell or give 'he product. Its surprising howmuch pleasure they will derive from producing something of their own. Every one likes to hob out his own row, overcome obstacles and pocket the gain, be it large or small. It's good sport but its the right kind for its constructive. Here's a free tip for those interested in boosting, the town and it isn't original. It was suggested by one of the boys who got his cue PLEASANT RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Shoulders droop under weight of years. Young, yet beauty has fled. Cheeks are sallow and drawn. Unsightly pimples. Keep your system clean and you keep the beauty of youth. Its energy. Its irresistible charm. Then life is not a failure. Clogged bowels and inactive liver cause poisons to seep through the system. Health vanished and with it beauty and energy. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets will help save you from this dark hour. For 20 years they have been prescribed in place of calomel to men and women seeking health and freedom from constipation. They act easily and smoothly. No dangerous griping. Take nightly before retiring. Results will amaze you. Thousands of men and women would never be without Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, a vegetable compound.

from an article in a newspaper from another city. Rent the windows of I the empty store buildings and use them for a display of goods. Per- ■ • haps some of the factories might be interested or if not it might be • that several merchants would go together. It makes a much better ’ showing and is of general benefit. The king of Spain has abdicated J and another monarchy Is to become I i a republic, its an epoch in the hisJ tory of that country and much of I i the success of the new government | i will of course depend upon whom I they get to boss the job, Ln other I words, upon the leadership that develops. Conducting any country satisfactorily under any form of government seems to be some job these days but when the people run things themselves as they should do in a first class republic, they can blame no one else. The staff of “Inklings", Decatur Catholic high school paper, and all others interested, as well as every one in this community, have a right to feel mighty proud because of the award from the University of Minnesota of the All-American rat-

ing. This rating is made by the National Scholastic Press Association and the award is the highest that can be given. "Inklings", by the 'way is a well edited school paper, always containing many items of more than passing interest as well as all the school news. ' —1 If you are considering becoming a member of the Indiana bar and i teel doubtful about your knowledge 1 of Blackstone, better get your application in within the next couple 1 ot weeks. When the new laws go into effect about May Ist. you will ( have to go to Indianapolis and pass before the Supreme court before ' you can get your license or diploma or what ever it is to be called. Qualifications to be required will no doubt be much more technical than heretofore when all you had to do was to established citizenship ; and character. Harry Rowbottom, a few years I ago the idol of the first congress ional district, retiring from con-1 gress March Ist last, went on trial today for the louzy crime of selling postoffice jobs. Os all the

petty ways for a man to make money this seems about as crooked as any we know of. The jobs are supposed to be placed among competent patrons of the community and usually go to those political workers who have earned them by loyalty and effort and to pass them out to the high bidder just don't go down very well. Rowbottom lives in Evansville at present, his I future address to be determined in I a few days by a federal judge. I ° ♦ 4 Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE > (U.pj 4 Brushes .

sent to New York to play opposite Maurice Chevalier in “Life Is Beautiful.” Beyond this is the coveted feminine lead in Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms.” Eleanor is to be the nurse and Gary Cooper the soldier. Barney Glazer is doing the screen-play of the novel. - With all these parts, the actress still will find time to be Mrs. King Vidor and to be mother to their two children. ONE FOR THE BOOK. To help out a recent picture, the local Paramount Theater persuaded Mary Brian to make a personal appearance. Trying to be original, they had her act as head usher, with a spotlight turned on her. During the half hour she stood there, Mary says not more than a half dozen people recognized her. Finally, she heard a boy say to a girl: “That's Mary Brian.” The girl denied it. Arguing, they circled around Mary several times. At last, the girl came up directly in front of her. “Say." she asked, “when did you quit making pictures?” LATEST GOSSIP.

, FARNUM'S COMEBACK. 1 A source of real satisfaction to p those of us who have been following pictures since the early silent 1 days is the comeback of William Farnum. After making a good impression in a Norma Talmadge picture, he went to Fox to play s King Arthur in “A Connecticut 1 Yankee.” (We won’t mention that ’ abortive lapse, “Ten Nights in a i Barroom," which fortunately was i not widely seen.) Now he is to i, have a good role in Evelyn Brent's 1 “Pagan Lady.” That excellent - farceur, Roland Young, also is io r play in this picture. As you may e recall, Evelyn’s husband, Harry i. Edwards, is co-producer of the film. e DID YOU KNOW e That Erich Von Stroheim once r worked as a life guard?
