It's the exception these days when a newspaper does not have several big news stories to give to its readers. Give a fellow a chance. We are all liable to mistakes and you can't tell when an unintentional sidestep might be misinterpreted. Not all Navy men die at sea or in marine conflicts. Last year 70 men of the navy's personnel were killed in motor vehicle accidents. It anight be safer to keep them on — the battleships. We read in the movie columns that the wrong fellow accepted Mae West's famous invitation. "Come up to see me some time" and walked away with $30,000 of her jewelry. There must be a moral in that, at least for Mac. The faults of other people reconcile us to our own. That is the reason people enjoy scandal. The since of the fallen make our little store of vi@rtuc seem greater by contrast. —Robert Quillen. Dairying is one of the principal industries of the country, in this c.immunity much of the growth and wealth is due to the development of the dairy business. Anything one can do to help it is like turning your hand to help yourself. v Hey there! Are you a Good Fellow? This club is going to be a one man organization if a few dollars don't come in. Remember you are helping the children and so far there's no way to get an allotment from the government for paying Santas visit to the needy. Human nature is funny. We all know the pitfalls of the stock boom period and still we sit around and try to figure out how we can get business back to the old basis. Why not make the most of things as they are and enjoy each day as it comes. Big days are ahead. Christmas BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS (’ |T Greeting*;) JK t % SHOPPING DAYS TO CHRISTMAS

means rush and looking after many things, getting ready for the family reunion, playing Santa te delight the children and a score of things which go to make up life Enter the spirit with zest. enjoy It and help someone during the joyful Christmas period. If all the newspaper space consumed in giving expressions on the gold monetary policies of the government could be tncktfl together it would make a web across the country . So far none of the terrible predictions have come through and Uncle Sam seems to have his bead up. One of the finest improvements to be made in the offices in the court bouse is the reflnishing of the oak wood work. Covered with several coats of varnish, one does not know if it is oak or cotton wood. Priceless today and of rare beauty in its natural state, the wood triin will be retinished and waxed. Although the exact figures are not yet available, the amount of delinquent taxes in this county for the year is surprisingly low. Last 1 year the percentage of delinquent tax was about the third lowest in the state and we would not be surprised if the total this year is the lowest. Just another point to prove that you are living in the best community in the country. The fellow who wrote the line, “The patient Roosevelt." sure knew his stuff. The country has never seen a man more patient, wholesome and apparently happy than the one who oeoipies the White House today. Tlie experts and others have their trouble, disagreements, but the President seems to go right ahead with his program and despite partisan knocking is getting somewhere. Ask one of the four million men who has been given a job lately. TEMPERANCE:— The first obligation of Hoosiers, after observing the rule of temperance, should be legality in the purchase of alcoholic beverages. Repeal of the eighteenth amendment was made possible largely through the succession of evils which resulted from encouragement of bootlegging and the underworld alliances of booze and politics. The question always has been a factor in politics, regardless of occasional testimony to the contrary, and it may continue to influence partisan policies. In the larger field of public opinion, the issue before the country is the elimination of bootlegging and prevention of a return of the evils of the old saloon. Governor McNutt sounded the proper keynote in his appeal for co-operation of the.lndiana public in observance qf the liquor laws. Sound objections may be offered to some phases of current regulation. Considerable criticism has been heard of the beer importer plan. Others are convinced that the sale of hard liquor should not be restricted to the bottle, excluding hotels, clubs and bona fide eating places. All agree that the tax should not increase prices to the point of encouraging continued bootlegging. Patience is an essential virtue in considering the questions before state and Federal officials. Time will solve most of the problems. The public has conducted itself admirably in this state, so far as the reception of repeal was concerned. Little hilarity was noticeable and close observers detected scant evidence of any widespread celebration. The mass of the population is conservative, midway between extremists on both sides. This majority will support governmental units in the effort to effect intelligent liquor control. — Indianapolis Star. o Gospel Temple Services will be held this week on Thursday aim Saturday evening at. 7:30, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and Sunday evening at 7. Also don’t fail to tune in on WOWO every morning at 8:30.

r g »I Former Teacher Gives * Her Opionin Regarding Recent News Story Th* Berne Witness recently received a letter from Cora Hocker . Adler, formerly of this county.

Streamlined Trains Success In Southwest Fort Worth.

The Southern Pacific has started l regular service between Ft. Worth and Texarkana with a bullet-shap-j ed. stream-lined, gasoline-motored j train with a cruising speed of 9« miles un hour, greatly reducing the time between the two points.
