More titan 3(i() Indiana sheriffs ’ 1 are holding a convention in Port ‘ Wayne today, so tilings ought to be running pretty smooth in that city. — With all the plans suggested to relieve unemployment, cure the i ills of the country and restore 1 prosperity, it seems that it is easier to preach than practice now-a-days. —u ' The Italian foreign minister spells |i his name with an R in place of an I 1 H. but there is a greater difference between the amount of clothing he wears and what Ghandi is content 1 with. Conditions continue to improve and with the holidays a few weeks ji off it noticeable pick-up is expected •in the retail and manufacturing | • lines. Everyone seems to be set[ , and ready to go. " It seems that both Governor i ■ Roosevelt and Newton D. Baker[ • are more popular as presidential I . candidates than the man who now . occupies the office and wishes to! , succeed himself, so it should not ’ be difficult to please the votersl next year. ——————— The home building progi*n promoted by President Hoover would I be a fine thing for the country and • . -those who wish to build, if money was*loaned at three or four per [ cent interest. When interest, taxes ' ■ and upkeep figure more than rent, it's hard to convince anyone that i they should invest in a house, regardless of their desire to own one. i If the Presidents plan provides , for home building capital at low , Interest rates, the country will see much building next year. The state of Indiana is proceed-1 ing to collect the so named chain . store tax after more than two year’s ’ litigation in the courts. The act placing a tax on all retail estab- ’ lishments with increased fees according to the number of stores operated in the state, was passed by the 1929 legislature. The first assessments will cover the two and | , one-half years and officials in COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the Infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, branchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist (adv.)

charge hope to have the collectors at work by the first of the month. The United States Supreme court has held the law valid and like other taxes must be paid or a penalty will be added. George Adams. Fort Wayne bootlegger will be sentenced to two to 21 years in prison for killing John I. Wilson, federal prohibition agent last July. The Jury which heard the case returned a verdict of manslaughter, carrying with it a minimum sentence. To many it will seem that the killer got off with a light sentence, while others still i hold the opinion that Adams shot .in self defense. It probably was a blunder on the part of the prohibition agents to open fire on the bootlegger, without first having him covered and the jury In its verdict indicated that it favored this consideration in the case. Adams, although he killed two men was tried for the murder of only one and it is doubtful if he will be brought to trial on the second charge, the state holding that the I second charge is weaker than the [first. Public opinion is funny and from the start of the trial it was doubtful if Adams would be found guilty of first degree murder. — .-e The new $250,000 convalescent I unit given by Indiana Rotary to the Riley Hospital for Children was dedicated yesterday without the planting of two English hawthorn trees. With a hands-across-the-sea gesture, emblematical of the inter[national character of Rotary, some British Rotarian sent two red hawthorns for the dedication. It was considered that such a ceremony would be especially appropriate. I When the trees arrived in New York the department of agriculture's quarantine order stopped them, and the trees will have to be returned to the Rotary Club of Plymouth, or be dumped in New i York harbor. No trees may be reI reived from abroad unless they are ; new species, or specimens intend- : rd for propagation of new varieties, [ for fear of spreading foreign pests, iSo hawthorne trees, similar to I some that have been growing in , I Kew Gardens, England, for more [than two centuries, can not find I any friendly American soil. Entomologists say that if on examiniation no infestation was found there , would have been no reason for ■ keeping them out. Two Indiana I red haws were substituted, and while they may grow into satisfactory examples of what a hjtw tree should be they do not carry the fellowship and affection that would have come with the English hawthorns. —Indianapolis News. 0 — ; • Lessons In English « 4 Words often misused: Do not say “He i ngineered the transaction successfully.''

—— This leaves only a state of feeling which is receptive to curative suggestion. By means of a phonograph disc. Dr. Vaehet brings about a complete relaxation and also induces muscular calm. o Silver In High Demand Washington.—(U.R)—According to reports of the Bureau of tlie Mint, some 40.000,000 ounces of pure sil- . ver are being issued every year by government institutions and private , refineries for use in the industrial : arts, and the demand for the met[al is advancing steadily. The Unit- ■ [ed States far exceeds all other na- [ tions in its powers to absorb the [ metal by its use in the jewelry inj dustry. o - Pelican Museum's Fisherman Chicago.—(U.R)—From the depths iof the Pacific Ocean, near the ' Hawaiian Islands, comes a pelican ' flounder to take its place in the tChicago Field Museum of Natural ! History. It is intended to show j fishermen just how a fisherman fish would fish. The pelican flound■er carries his own dip-net, basket i and refrigeration system.

After the manager had shown , her around, she asked the price. “Our minimum charge,” said the I woman, “is $350 a month.” Then, as Wynne’s eyes regis- . tered shock, she hastened to add: ; “But that includes the telephone.” THRILLS AHEAD.

Suggestions To | Water Consumers!

METERS Water meters are furnished by the Water Department but the consumer is required to keep the surroundings of the meter clean, dry and of easy access and protect the same from freezing. All damage done the meter by freezing or by hot water poured on or forced back tbrourh the meter is charged to the consumer. PROTECT'YOUR METER TODAY. FROZEN PIPES AND METERS If pioes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and pouring hot water on. If there is a bad case of frozen pipes or if a house is to be closed for the winter it is best to secure the services of a competent plumber. Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubber piston and celluloid register. In case of a frozen meter call this department before the same thaws out and causes a damage to your property and a waste of water. SILL COCKS FOR SPRINKLING X Sill cocks or house faucets on| the side of the house should be shut off in the basement before freezing weatrfer and when this is done, the faucet should be opened so as to admit air, which will cause the water to run out at the stop and waste in the basement. This procedure should be followed when it is desired to drain the house pipes. Air must be admitted at the top to force the water out below.

Tests of city water are furnished the State Board of Health and their I report is on file in the office of the City Clerk for your inspection.
