Coldest weather since 1918, according to the officials in charge of keeping such records and few who have braved the north wind the past day or two will dispute. Grant county officials indicted for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws will probably be able to show that “every body was doing it” which may or may not be a defense, according to the way the court looks at it. Included in the list are the mayor, an ex-sher-iff and the present sheriff. _______ * The Decatur school board shows a cash balance of $32,M0. which would be okay if they had assur ances that the bank account could be replenished this year, which they haven t. One trouble with present conditions are that we are * using up the reserves, wisely set | apart but this can’t last forever. i — The sales tax does not seem to lie popular. Most folks agree that if such a tax could be assessed at ih" source, it would not be so bad but the law as previously prepard. would mean transferring the burden to the retailer to such an extent that he could not stand it under present conditions. They say the cold wave will continue several days, perhaps a week or more and it may get worse. Never can tell in this country. In the meantime you can buy winter goods at sacrifice prices in the local stores and its a tine time to do it. Remember what you buy now will be just that much put away for next winter. Two little boys, aged two and three, in Rome, Georgia, found a box of what they thought was candy and ate the tablets, which proved to be cyanide of mercury, a sure and deadly poison. Medical science is unable to help and loved ones cm only watch for the end, it is said and that usually includes .• week or ten days of terrible suffering. Keep the medicine chests locked if its where the youngsters can get in. Governor Comstock and others in Michigan are making a great effort to have sugar factories re- ‘ Vcned that the fanners may have n.n additional cash crop and to aolve Gm unemployment problem. It is cl imed that those towns in which the.Mi plants operated this winter Have come through ~u much better than those without them that there is no fair comparison. Every effort will be made here to assure Mr. McMillan and his associates of earnest cooperation. Mr. Roosevelt has started his machinery for bringing better times lo America and every good citizen, regardless of politics, will wish him well, lie has called the governors for a conference on March Hili ami he has likewise summoned fifty of the leading business mon of the nation to advise with him. These will be earnest sessions and you may rest assured that every thing possible for an early busiiiess recovery will be made.

The reopening of the sugar plant here will be a gala event, more important now than when we landI cd it way back in 1912 because we i need it worse now and because just ! about the time the big plant sust i I pended we began to appreciate its I importance.. It will mean a cash •' crop for the farmers, employment ' for much labor, greater industry for many and the first step towards a return of good old prosperity. ’ Next Monday is an important day ; for us for that's the date when the •! matter will be decided. 11 — 11 , That Muncie minister who is 1 undo - serious charges, bo'h by the Delaware county grand jury and the church conference, is a fighter any way and ought to be able to get along in most any business. When he was accused by his choir leader, he knocked him over and now he insists he will go through on a not guilty basis, regardless of results. If he can prove his innocence, a lot of people who now look at him with haughty glances will again be friendly, hut if he loses i out there will be the usual wise, ones to say “we told you so.” That's I the way of the world these days as perhaps it always has been. — The new county salary law will [ settle the dispute as to what each I official will receive and that will be something. For a long time, there have been controversies pro and con as to this and that fee and to other regulations, so it will be I: considerable satisfaction to knowl II just what each job pays and the taxpayers will no doubt be satis-( fled for the revenues thus derived ; are quite modest. Under this law, the highest salaries in the state I will not exceed $6,000 per year and these are in counties where it was ' i several times that. In counties | this size the salaries will be from , S9OO to $2,160. In the shakeup. | the surveyor seems to have taken it on the chin more than any of them. o C. K.
