Mr. Swimmer, for construct- ] ing the handsome, attractive and j in every way strictly modern post office structure, which was dedicat- . * ed today. No where that we know of has i such a splendid building of this | kind been erected for the money . expended here. It is a decided im- i provement to the down town sec- I tion of this beautiful city and will continue so for a century to come. Built of Indiana limestone, with ■ burnt clay shingle roof, modest, | but yet attractive, it would be dis- j flc.iit to improve its appearances. . We also congratulate those who j assisted in giving todays dedicatory i ceremony, a fitting observation of . an important occasion and this community feels very grateful to Congressman Vestal through whose , efforts the appropriation was secur- i ed. This paper last evening gave a complete account of the building, the efforts to secure it and a num-I ber of features which we feel will | interest the public. This evening | we give you the account of the I dedication. -Within a few days the post of- ■ lice and the county agent Lead- . qUSlers will be located in the new ' building and that will soon become] one of the business corners of this I ' city. -We are very proud indeed of our aew federal building and we are: " Sure Postmaster L. A. Graham and I his assistants will find the work of I handling mail from this business center much more enjoyable and in every way more convenient. Charley Wall, veteran and untiring democrat of Winchester has | sent out invitations to the democrats over eastern Indiana to join them in a Pow Wow and Wilson i day banquet on Monday.

There j will be other speakers, an after--noon of getting acquainted, a ban'quet and every thing that is needI i d to make it a first class pow wtyw. The tickets are one dollar, every body invited, but you must be listed through your county chairman lor Mr. Wall by December 18th,. If you like old fashioned democratic meetings, you won't want to miss this one. The Good Fellows opened their campaign today, hoping to secure several hundred dollars with which to purchase clothing and food for Christmas cheer in the poor families. You may feel that many demands are being made upon you but please remember that conditions are worse than usual and that 'if we are to be happy at Christmas I time we must assist in making all (others happy as nearly as possible, i The Good Fellows have done wonIderful work here in the past and Iwe are sure you will not go back on them this year. Charley Curtis has decided he I will be a candidate for vice-presi-Ident again. its a nice job and! i Charley no doubt feels after spend- ] ing some time out west that he | would prefer to take a chance on that than to be a candidate for senator from one state. That probably settles the republican ticket for next year. It will be Hoover and Curtis. We can't say at this I time who the democratic nominees will be hut whoever they are, they I are favorites at this time. — Bertrand Snell of New York was selected as the republican candidate for speaker of the house at a | caucus held yesterday, in all probi ability an honor which will make i him only minority leader. Mr. ■Garner of Texas will very likely ■ be the speaker of the house as the I democrats have a slight majority |in that body. The public is hoping ' that there will be little politics and some real business but perhaps . that's hoping for too much even I under present conditions.

ISTRATOSPHERE'S COLD CONSTANT, EXPERTS CLAIM f ! Studies Reveal No Change Seven Miles Above Earth Washington, Dec. 1. — (U.PJ—The atmosphere, contrary to belief hitherto, does not become colder and colder as one travels away from the earth, the United States Weather Bureau has concluded. Experiments with balloons have revealed a demarcation seven miles up, beyond which the temperature is constant and the atmosphere calm. Up to that point, according to W. J. Humphries, chief of the Division of Meteorological Physics, the temperature decreases steadily as distance from the earth increases. Hitherto it has been held that the temperature continued to fall indefinitely, but Humphries' experiments tend to prove that at 69 degrees below zero Fahrenheit the temperature ceases to fall and remains constant for an undetermined distance. In the lower layer, known as the trophosphere, occur ordin ar y I storms and other atmospheric dis-1 turhasjees. In the stratosphere, I above seven miles, it is calm and the temperature does not change. Humphries has decided. To aviators planning to fly in the stratosphere, this discovery, if fully substantiated, is of Inestimable value. Recently planes have been built in Europe for this purpose, on the theory that in the thin atmosphere around 10 miles up tremendous speeds could be attained.] facilitating long-distance flying. If. I as Humphries, has decided, the temperature is constant at that height and there are no wind currents. flying would be much safer than in the lower altitudes. o OBITUARY Samuel J. Durbin was the son of John and Hannah Durbin (both deceased). He was Lorn May 19, 1864 in Adams county, near Pleas-] ant Mills. There was seven brothers and five sisters.
