The Giants took the first one and the National League fans are say-' ing they told us so. but the series! isn't over and we will be surprised ■ if the other side doesn't have their turn to feel jubilant. Every one may not agree with President Roosevelt but certainly ■ all must admit that he had the courage of his convictions and is courageous enough to tell those I who listen to him what he thinks and why. The meeting of th© Indiana Democratic state committee on the Sth. bids fair in becoming a lively event. Its a good sign when the 1 boys contest various problems within their own organization, provided they don't get too serious about it. Attempts to assassinate the president of Cuba and the Chancellor of Austria failed but it certainly shows a bad disposition on the • part of some of the citizens in those ; countries. And it is so much better ’ to settle dissensions peaceably as I we are in this country. i The Legion held their greatest convention in Chicago thfS week t and hundreds of thousands were I t inspired by the enthusiasm display < ed. It's a great organization, pow- a erful and well officered and during t the next several decades will many 1 < times prove their worth and in ; many ways. ' —■ t Valparaiso has a five "dollar tax s rate but they probably figure its j wot th that to live there.

publicans. We presume the alibi would he that there are no auch animals among the Democrats, but certainly there is nothing to make those who have been doing the bus iness the four years prior to last March 4th qualify. A check from the state for more than *20,000 for the quarter ending September 30th will help very much, this being the Adams county share of the gasoline taxes for the three-month period. When the new taxes get to operating, the people will appreciate the effort being made by Governor McNutt to equalize and relieve the burden heretofore carried almost solely by real estate.

The strikes are being settled and the men are returning to work. That's pleasing news for at this time when things are just beginning to adjust themselves after the topsy-turvy years, every one should be helping to get the old boat moving along smoothly. Wages j ' and hours may not be just as we | ' would have them but if every one I will try to be as reasonable as | isvssible, it will be so much better | for every one. The Republican press is making ■ a big fuss about the Michigan City prison break and charging it to the fact that good guards had been I put out because of their politics. | I It occurs to us that if they had | ■ been as fair as they now think the I Democrats ought to be. there would : have been some Democrats holding some of those jobs and so many changes would not have been ! necessary. Just a little policies ( with the hope the voters will fall for it next year. W. L. (Young) Stribling. for several years the most colorful heavy- j weight boxer in America, is dead, 1 the result of his motorcycle collid-, ing with an automobile last Sun-|, day. For ten years he met every one who would match him and while he did not win the world championship he made those who did achieve that ambition do so ' over a decision in a battle with ] him He had many followers who thought him the best boxer in the bunch and his tragic death has > caused sorrow among the tans. Bankers from northern Indiana are here today, the occasion being the 21th annual convention of that organization and we are sure they are enjoying the event. A sincere and hearty welcome from every one is being extended and if “a good time is not being had by all” we are sure it is not the fault of the local bankers and those who are assisting them. The program , is a very interesting one and those engaged in the important business of banking these days, gave close ' attention to the excellent addresses. Needless to say we are proud of the opportunity to entertain these buesiness leaders, who play such an important part in the affairs of the day in the communities in which they reside. o — ■ ♦ ♦ Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE * * Care of Palms It is not well to water palms too j often.

SYNOPSIS The old home town—tiny Athena in the midwest—is awaiting the retarn of its most relebrated eon, "Big Jeff" Randolph, for two seasons a national football sensation at famous Thorndyke, sne of the most historic of eastern universities. Thorndyke influences had lured Randolph east because he had been a high school grid marvel. On vacations, some of which he spent at home. Tommy (as he was known to his Mom and Pop and other admiring Athenians) was “the glass of fashion and the mould of form” and ... an airy arbiter of household manners. Dorothy Whitney, daughter of the town's richest citizen. hsd been Tommy's high school girl friend but a rift had slowly come between them until the dazzling Thorndyke hero had become enamoured of Elaine Winthrop, artist and daughter of a Wail Street magnate. . . . Tommy is coming home for Christmas; Athens is astir with preparations for a testimonial dinner. . . . Mom pays all of six dollars for a fine white shirt for Tommy and wonders if he will approve of Steve, his brother Pete’s fiancee, who is so loveable but not at all like Dorothy nr Elaine. . . . CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX These were some of the things Mom thought of while she got ready for Christinas, cleaning up the house and planning the dinner. She wu going to have a big crowd with her own and Uncle Louie and then she had asked Pete if he ’ wouldn’t like to ask Steve and her father, since they were alone; and Pete had looked so pleased that Mom was glad she could do something nice for him because Pete was always doing things for her although he never complained. And when Pete told her to ask Steve and Mom did, poor Steve just took one look at her and started to cry without any warning at all, right before Pop and Unele Louie so that the two of them got right up and went out which was more sense than Mom gave either one of them credit for; and Pete went out too. Steve was still wiping her eyes and sobbing and, when Mom put her arms around her and tried to comfort her, Steve broke down entirely and told Mom it was because she had hardly known her own mother and they had always been so lonely on i Christmas, just she and her father and that was why she cried because she had always wanted a big Christmas and never thought she would get it. And the two of them, with only little blaek Nippy sitting looking up at them, had a little cry together because Mom had never had a daughter, either, and now, she told herself, she didn’t care whether l Tommy approved of Steve or not, because the poor kid was worth her weight in gold. Then Steve started laughing while she was still crying and wjped her eyes and said everybody would think she was a goof, carrying on like that but Mom told her not to worry about that and that it did a person good to break down once in a while. Then they started to plan the dinner together and Mom was surprised how much Steve knew about housework; and aha waa glad, too, because it waa going to be a big job with all of them around and the banquet and everything; and now sha wouldn't have to eall on Cousin Emmy to help and that would be a big relief because the poor thing only got in the way although she meant well. Tommy couldn’t stand her chatter anyhow. ' The briquet was going over big

Bright, ' who is conducting a series of meetI ings at the Church of God will ' preach from a large chart which shows the floor plan ut Sjlitnon's Temple Thia is the beginning of a aeries of sermons on ' Types and Shadows." The series opens in a very interesting manner some of i those mysterious sayings of the Old . Testament. Church folk and non-vhurch people alike enjoy these Inepirlng illI ustrated lectures. They make the . seemingly mysterious and hard to understand ocriptures plain and; I simple. Do not fail to h. ar the beginning of this remarkable series starting . tonight. The large chart in itself is a worth while piece of art. The mes-

and It seemed everybody in town s wanted to go and a lot from Smithville, too. Tommy made some of the All-American teams; he didn't ’ quite make the big one but Jack ! Chalmers said this was because , most of the ones on the big oee ’ were seniors and it was their last I chance: and anyhow, he observed, i since Walter Camp died they were all about the same, and everybody 1 ! knew Tommy was All-American 1 whether they all gave it to him ut I not. ' Mom didn’t quite understand I ! about the All-American but she i naturally had an idea that everybody on it had to be an American and she didn’t see why they didn’t 1 pick Tommy because he had such ' a good American name; but when i she mentioned this to Pop be 1 laughed right out in disgust be- i cause he was pretty sore about < Tommy not making all the teams. 1 “It’s a joke!” Pop said. “Why t don’t they call it a No-American t team or an All-Hunky Team or an i All-Dago team with all the names i on it. It’s a wonder they give him any mention at all because he ain’t i got a ‘ski’ on the end of his name.” i “All them boys is American < bom,” Uncle Louie said, “that is i what makes our great democracy I with fresh blood from all eoun- i tries.” s “Ratsf" Pop said, “it’s like every- t thing else, Americans don’t get any show at all, it's the forriners who’re ’ running everything. Like as not Al i Caponey told them who to pick like i he tells them everything else. He’s I I running the country with all the 1 crooked politicians.” i “You eome from forriners,” Uncle Louie said, “what’ra you talking ■ , about?” “I’m three generations in this i , country," Pop said, “my gran’ ; . father fought at Gettysburg. That’s 1 more than you can say." “On your father’s side, he did," ! Uncle Louie admitted, “but how : I about on your mother’s side—your mother’s father came from Ireland i and both my grandfathers was in > this town to meet him when he come.” ’ “And where did they come : . from?” Pop returned triumph- I i antly, "both of them Johnny Bulls i . —don’t tell me.” ! “I’m just as American as you," i . Uncle Louie insisted, “maybe I more.” I “How do you figure that?” Pop 1 I demanded; and they went into a ! ( long discussion, over the same • . points they had argued many times, i , Mom didn’t mind as long as they , didn’t get too loud. " i s* * * Dorothy W’hitney came back 1 , home about a week before Christ- I , mas, looking prettier than ever and i . quite a bit more grown-up, Mom 1 I thought, with a lot of new clothes , she had bought over east. She was < r very nice when Mom met her down ( street and Dorothy mentioned that i , she and her father had seen Tommy I play one day and how fine he had I , played. Mora thought it would be < ) nice if she could ask Dorothy and ■ , her father to Christmas dinner, too, I . but she didn't because there was 1 , the old Grandmother and anyhow < t they would be having a big Christ- ’ ( mas at their own house although it 1 would be kind of lonesome with , only the three of them. 1 , “When is Tommy coming?” Dor- t t othy asked. i “I’m expecting him any time,” I J Mom said. “I haven’t just heard i j when but I suppose he wants to ] 5 surprise us. I suppose you’ve heard < , about the banquet?” ; t Dorothy hadn’t heard so Mom I ! told her all about it. She thought < r it was kind of funny the way Dor- I , othy looked because she didn’t < seem quite as proud as Mom 1 ‘ thought she would, a little high- I hat, Mom thought, but she remem- ; bered that Dorothy did have some I [

Tommy knew what he was doing and he wouldn't ' stay away from home on Christnue unless it was the best thing to da Yes. that was it. Tommy wouldn't want to miss Christmas at home and he would miss them as muek as they missed him. and the least his folks could do would be to bei) him out and not make the poor boy feel any worse than he did. She told that to »hem that night when they had all finished eannj as she didn’t want to spoil their supper (it was ham and cabbage and both Pop and Pet* alvij* liked it) “The big bum!"
