Archbold asking whether the Home Economics i women wished to postpone the I revue which is scheduled to be [ held in Adams county, the evening; |of November 19 at 7:30 in the gymnasium of Decatur high I i school. Miss Aneta Beadle whoj was injured in an automobile accident Saturday evening. Nov. 2. ■ has been directing this work. The following letter was the answer to Miss Gaddis. "Dear Miss Gaddis: We are very sorry that Miss Aneta Beadle of your department was involved in such a serious auto accident and trust that she will be favored with | a speedy recovery. Please convey I to her the best wishes from Ad- | ams county, for a speedy recov- | ery. Having completed so much ] preparatory work at the present | time and so much publicity gone out on the achievement program it does not seem best that we postpone the matter. I trust how- • ever, htat you will be able to have someone from your staff on hand November 19 to assist us. "Mrs. Lester Kerr of the Hartford township Home Economics , Club has been coaching the chorus and is doing a fine job of the same. Since she knows the continuity of the revue, it is the ( opinion of Mrs. Busche and myself II that she can successfully direct I matters. “Yours very truly, “L. E. ARCHBOLD, “County Agent.”

The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets took to the open last night and serft the Jefferson Warriors home with a 32-16 beating. Coach Curtis used 11 players during the game and several of them looked like comers. The Second team appeared to be on the way to a county title by defeating the Jeff seconds with ease. Next Friday night corftes New Haven, Allen county upsetters >f hope. Marion Feasel, Yellow Jacket guard looked good. He had a big amount of drive and while his basket shooting was inconsistent, I It appears as if he's going to be | one of the best by mid-season. Ogg. who was one of the starting forwards has an eagle eye from an open shot. He's better right now on offense than defense but seemed to fit well into the I Curtis-made machine. Buffenllarger was high point man in the opening game. In last night's scrap he no doubt was outstanding an ( ] fitted well into both offense and defense. Gay. at center, proved to be a good find. He worked the pivot play on offense and is a valuable man at defense. Vernon Hill played a lot of good basketball and while he failed to score a point he was indirectly ; responsible for a lot of baskets, and he handled the ball like a veteran. Hill, Buffenbarger, Feasel. Gay I and Ogg started the fray. Before the close of the half, Paul Strickler. Blythe, Cowan, G. Strickler and Sanders were sent in. Later i Eady went in for Gay at center. All six of the extras played good ball and it's going to be a i real scrap all season to determine who the starters will be. Gay scored the first point of the game on a free throw and Ogg sent the ball through the hoop for the first field goal of the season. Looks like Decatur would again lead the northeastern Indiana teams in ability. Auburn had a I close call last night; Huntington took a kiss from Union Center; Berne had a close call at Hartford; Kendallville got trimmed; Bluffton is still practicing. i The Commodores have until i November 25, and Coach George Laurent isn't saying much but he's sending his team through a i lot of hard drills. i ■ Not much in football today—- • Sort of a rest before the storm ■ next Saturday. » The Gymnasium was well-filled last night. Principal W. Guy Brown says there are still a few season seats left. A lot of folks who are going to all the home

E. Shaw, extension forester of Purdue spent the last three days with County Agent L. E. Archbold studying forestry projects. The seven consolidated schools in the I county were visited on Wednesdayl land Thursday and meetings were I held in Preble and Root townships., The talks before the schools were | intended to increase the apprecia- ’ tion of the boys and girls in the county for our native trees and shrubs. The fundamentals of plant-1 | ing practices for the school and (home grounds were stressed. The j principles of successful transplantI ing of trees and shrubs were also I emphasized. Tjje lantern slide lectures given at the evening meetings were de-1 I voted to the value of wind-break ‘ plantings for the protection of farm buildings and to the best i methods to be used in establishing I such plantings. Considerable interi est was aroused and no doubt some demonstration plantings will be i made in the county next spring.* 1 These plantings will be made in the county next spring. These plantings will be used as a basis fori

tours in future years. In his talks on wind break plant-1 Ings Mr. Shaw brought out the fact that planting stock can be secured; from the state forest nursery,! which is maintained at Henryville' by the State Department of Conversation. at the rate of $1.25 per hundred. This stock is available to farmers throughout the state for wind-break purposes. 'I he sjtecies 'available are Norway Spruce, White Pine, Scotch Pine. Red Pine, and Jack Pine.

COOLIDGE HAS LIFE OF SMALL TOWN ATTORNEY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' * rogative of tailing the world often and long wbat ought to be done. Coolidge learned in the White House that it sometimes causes trouble when a man. no longer in a place of responsibility, cut off from irf imate fia>fs, undertakes ' as a volunteer, to run the country. . Therefore this is no interview but a close-up view of a man who i after playing a powerful role on j the public stage, has gone back his normal life as a private . >tfzen to mind his own business That is no* easy for an ex-nresi-d»nt. especially one who volnn r tarily retired at the height of his popularity. He is asked almost daily to attend a large dinner. But if he goes, he is pressed to speak. If he want to travel, ordinary cou’tesy would compel him to accept hospitality which would involve speeches in which he might say something that would embarrass others. He never has been abroad and I probably won't be able to go now. : Such a tour would involve honors from foreign governments which it would be ungracious not to accept. He is pressed almost daily for interviews and he must deny hiniself that popular form of selfgratification to avoid giving -the impression that he is trying to run the country, a precedent which public officials doubtless would like to see more generally observ- : PdOnce he thought of becoming a , business executive. But he looki ed into many offers he received and found usually they were from , businesses which had some rela-
