YOu needn’t get so excited about turning off that light since the low-' er rates became effective. Your attention is called to an! article contributed by a reader in the People’s Voice column. It deals with conservation and some of the beauties of nature, together with a pita of a united community support to preserve wild lite along the streams and rivers in this county. Farmers are showing much interest in the corn-hog control program and in this county those in charge estimate that a majority will sign up for the government’s plan. The only way to know if it works is to try it out ami the more who eittbr the agreement, better| tile test. — Indianapolis is the scene of tlie latest and most gruesome murder case. Two young fellows shot a foimer Wabash minister in the back of the 'lead and left the dead man in iris automobile. In confessions. the minister's wife said she liirud one of the boys to kill her huMmnd and gave him $lO lor the job; Talk about gangsters.

up delegates. Indiana likes Iter politics and 1931 Is to be a big year. , "May Indiana's future be as brilliant and thrilling as her glorious past. ' That hope Is expressed by ' I Bruce Barton In his new book. "The J Parade of the States." if Indiana makes good, no small part of the credit for a brilliant and thrilling future for the Hoosier state must go to the fact that in Indiana we are "keeping school." Today, Indiana is one of tlie three states in the nation where every child is attending school, where no school doors have been forced shut. In Indiana, we ale not careless ot education. The death of Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock recalls a name that loomed big in the senate during and after the war days. The Nebraska senator was a newspaper publisher and when not busy at the national seat of government kept busy editing and managing the Omaha World-Herald. He was a . statesman and several times was considered as one of the leading contenders for the Democratic nomination for president, losing his ■ political hold following the defeat of the Wilson policies in the 1918 I congress. The Spanish Supreme Court, at 1 the urgent solicitation of Ambassador Claude G. Howers, has disposal of tlie case of the four American tourists who "insulted" the civil guard at Palma. Mallorca, by pardoning them with the understanding that they are to leave the Balearic Islands at once. The whole case has been one of much ado about little or nothing and has not served to popularize Spain among outsiders. The tourists were involved in a disturbance in a Palma case eight months ago in which | some other Americans were partici- ! pants. — Indianapolis Star. . — One of our hustling paper carriers catuc UP to the desk today and said, ’Write 'em a line about having change ready when we call to collect." That gave us a thought. We were reminded that during the recent zero days the carrier boys covered their routes without complaint, reported at this office on time and delivered the Home Paper jto all edges of town. They buy the . papers from the newspaper and op | orate under what is known as the [ "Little Merchant Plan", each one I ! being responsible for their collec- , tions and payment of all papers ! taken from the office. Together I with other papers, we believe this |is the best training for the boys and 'any help or consideration given j will be greatly appreciated by these young fellow 5, merchants and bankers of tomorrow Indications are that the Central Sugar Co., of which Dale W. McMillon is president and Thomas E. Snyde,'. vice-president, will eventually acquire title to the HollandSt. Louis Sugar property in this city. That's good news for the community. The local sugar plant was operated last year by the Central Sugar Company and as this company is the holder of the bonds , on the property, title will rest with them following the federal court's approval of the sale and disposal of the necessary legal details. Mr. McMillen and his associates have plans already underway for a big program this year and beet growers will be glad to learn that the same management as carried on the business last year will continue to be in charge. ,—o ■ Discuss Development Os Prison Factories Indianapolis, Feb. 6 (UP) Development of prison factories . to place many Idle prisoner# in useful occupations was discussed by Gov. Paul V. McNutt and leads of state penal institutions here today. About one third of the prison population of the .state, numbering around, 5. d00 meii are idle, Gov. McNutt said. “It is our aim to devise a mcaiiH to give them some useful occupation.” <■** the H»bit — Tr«d€ at Home

It cast its shadow* over the old homo of Gene Stratton Porter, on the east side of Second street and stretched its branches northward to the place where Elephant Kock now stands, a tribute by the school children of tho county. to the memory of one of Arneitea’s greatest naturalists. She taught the love of nature. r remember how we tried to count the rings on the stump to determine just how long it had stood to guide the steps of the Indiana who once roamed along the bank* of the Kekionga Another of my early recollections was of the mural painting of the State Seal, over the rostrum in the court room; in the foreground the hgure ot a man with an aX. cutting down a tree. "Only God can make a tree." Man can destroy in one hour, that which has taken I ages to produce.
