The fact that Tammany is on the outs with Governor Roosevelt does not mean much to the voter, who will demand a change in administration and policies next year. The Democrat candidate, whoever he I may be, will probably carry New York state with or without Tammany support. Mayor George Dale is in the midst of another fight with the Muncie council and he seeks to oust about eleven of the councilmen who are opposed to him. It seems that they do a lot of howling over there and the citizens would probably appreciate a little cooperation on the part of the administration. Buses will replace street cars in 1 Wabash Sunday and the old street car lines will be torn up. Recently the street car company was granted permission to abandon the lines, just another instance of where street cars could not with the automobile. Frank Thayer, author, defined a newspaper as follows: (a) to print the news; (b) to guide public opinion by the interpretation of events; (c) to furnish wholesome entertainment for the readers; id) to assist in the distribution of service and merchandise through advertising. And he might have added, do all of this for about a penny a day and 310 days out of the year. The center of population in the country is now located 2.9 miles northeast of Linton, Indiana. The director of the census points out that the center of population has moved 22.3 miles west and 7.6 miles south in the past ten years, which probably includes those who went to Florida a few years ago and then stopped off in the wild and wooly west. F. M. Smith, the man who discovered borax and is said to have made a fortune of two hundred million dollars, died in California yesa pgpr man. Reverses and dissipation cost him to lose nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. At one time he was one of the leading figures in America and what we can't fathom yet is how anyone could get away with such a huge fortune in a score of years. Prohibition agents raided a number of places in Kosciusko county yesterday, confiscating a quanity of liquor, home-brew and several slot machines. As the resort season is I about over those who have enjoyed good business during the summer can expect a little trouble now. It seems that these raids are made I towards the end of the summer ‘ season every year and probably the; federal men will be busy in the ' northern part of the state for the ■ next week or two. o * REUnToSF CALENDAR ♦ ♦ Sunday August 30 Weldy Reunion, S.

Explaining Glacial Periods I The glacial period was caused by the expansion and southern move--1 ment of the great ice cap located | In the Polar regions. Due to varying conditions of atmosphere and ' temperature in the Point regions, the Ice broke away and spread, covering everything In Its path nnd obliterating a great many of the traces of former geological periods.
