They are still guessing on the cabinet and will so continue until the president-elect makes his official announcement. He believes that it is his awn business as to who shall compose his official family and most folks will agree with ' him. What is wanted is results and that means a cabinet composed of men who will work together for the greatest good to the greatest number. Janies Elberson, Dan H. Tyndall and Oscar Lankenau were elected to the board of directors ot the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, selections that meet the approval of ail who believe in this community and want it to go forward. And it will. These men and the others of the board will make every possible effort to secure new industries and to aid those now here, that greater employment may be given. Mayor George R. Dale of Muncit, under conviction by a federal court but who still clings tenaciously to his job. is under indictment by the Delaware county grand jury for conspiracy witfe three others to commit a felony. It is claimed the administration has been collecting ten dollars a month from city employes for use in a “defense fund."’ If George isn't careful, he will land in jail, The state automobile license bureau has granted a few days extension of time for the 1932 license plates. So far less than half the car owners in the state had taken out licenses and there was nothing to do but grant an extension. How long a time will be granted was problernetical but it is believed two •weeks will be allowed. In the meantime those who a.re driving ■without the new licensee are of course subject to any orders that may be issued. The death of Harl (Spot) Hollingsworth has shocked the people of this county and hundreds of friends over the state. He served as county sheriff four years, was for a long time marshall of Geneva and the past two years has been a member of the state police force Os pleasing personality, always active in politics, accommodating and willing to go all the way for his friends, he was a conspicous figure. Few people knew of his illness until a short time before his death and manv explosions of genuine

sorrow have been heard. The sincerest sympathies of all go out to the bereaved family. Sincerest sympathies are extended Rev. Harry W. Thompson and (daughter. Miss Gladys in this dark hour of their bereavement. They . have fought bravely for many years 'against a dread disease with which I the wife and mother was inflicted (and due to their unceasing care ■ and attention, the life of Mrs. j Thompson was prolonged several I years. Their efforts were worth ; while and they will always have the memory" cf having given all In the battle. Words are perhaps useless at a time like this but this splendid husband and daughter have the earnest sympathy of all who know them. . The meeting of those interested in the Benjamin Franklin highway, held here yesterday and attended by men from Findlay, Ohio, to Peru, Indiana, was an important one. For twelve years these men and ■ many others have been working on ! this project and it was the opinion ; of the officials that at the June meeting the road would be adopted as a through federal highway sim- 1 ilar to 30, 40 and 50 and carrying , the designated numbers in every • state. Now it seems an effort is being made to so change the route ■ that it will miss Van Wert. Decatur, Huntington, Wabash, Peru, Logansport and other Indiana towns and cities. The U. S. road would be marked over a route through Fort Wayne, Columbia City and Rochester by this plan and from there on to Chicago over an unpaved roadway. It would be years before such a route could be paved while the present one is hard suface almost entirely across the nation. In Indiana the pavement has been completed excepting between this city and Huntington and half of that is now under contract. We believe that if this matter is understood by those in authority the change cannrif be made and that's the purpose ot the present organization which will make a determined fight to retain the Franklin highway and have it marked as a U. S. road. o Household Scrapbook —By— ROBERTA LEE Electric Light Globes Try cleaning the light globes more often. It is astonishing how much light dirty bulbs and soiled glass globes take up. If they are neglected, the housewife will find that she is paying for electric light 1 that she is not receiving.

CONGRESSMEN USE RELATIVES iNewly-Elected Congressmen Will Put Relatives On Payroll Washington. Feb. 1 -<U.R>— 111 spite of the lessons of the last election, there is new company coming for those in congress who ! tielieve that the best place for a relation in these parlous times is on the congressional payroll. The new senator from Utah. Dr. Elbert D. Thomas. Democrat, haI decided upon his office force which will move in with him March 4 when he replaces the venerable Senator, Reed Smoot, longest now in the senate service. He is allowed four clerks One will be his daughter. Miss Esther Thomas, an attractive young woman. a sophomore in -the University of Utah where her father has been a professor for years. Three other secretaries will be young men who were formerly his students. This development was unexpected in Washington. In part Senator Smoot's defeat was due to the fact that he had I carried a large number of rela-1 lives on his payroll at one time 1 or another. In recent years there have been three generations of Smoots on the congressional payroll* ranging from the patriarchal senator down to a young grandson who was a senate page. The two Utah congressmen. Reps. Colton and Loofbourow, both Repub-1 licans, who were defeated for reelection, had relatives on their payrolls. The entire Utah delegation has employed relatives. In view of the prominence this question had in the last cam-

naieu it was expected that the I practice would suffer an abrupt; decline. Furthermore, Utah recently enacted an anti-nepotism law covering state officials. This > technically does not apply to sen-. ators and congressmen, who being | paid by the taxpayers at large] through the federal government] are legally held to be federal, not state officials. When Senator-elect Thomas announced his senatorial staff it was said they all plan to study during their Washington residence. To numerous relatives of other members on the payroll, this development was welcome news because many feared they would be stricken off after the barrage of • tv, i- .vn.ln.l on thA CrillC IB !U WiUtll dfcbwLvK— --- -— practice during the last campaign. They are encouraged by a little fresh moral support. Five senators and 57 congressmen who had carried relatives on the payroll I were formally notified hy their 1 constituents in the last campaign that their services would no longer be desired in Washington. Y’et there remain 80 representatives and 32 senators who have found the congressional payroll a haven for otherwise unemployed relatives. Senate and house clerks draw from $3,900 a year down, minus i the temporary S’3 per cent pay ] cut. Some members in the house I are taking advantage of current 1 depression wages for stenographers in Washington by carrying a wife or daughter at $3,900 a year, no work required, and hiring sls a week stenographers to answer ,the mail. However, senators and congressmen complain that the high cost lof living in Washington wipes out their SIO,OOO salaries and that unless a few extra dollars are picked up on the side through the clerical payroll, they run into debt. And with the government running into debt $2,000,000,000
