What do you suggest? At least nearly everybody feels hopeful about 1935 and that's halt of the battle. Your continued cooperation in respect to law observance, eliminating the double parking nuisance and a helpful attitude in public matters will be appreciated by the new city officials. It’s wonderful to note the spirit! of cooperation prevalent in this community. People are interested in their home town aud want to help those who wish to carry out. programs in the public interest. < The Alabama Crimsons went I . west and conquered, treating the football fans to one of the most thrilling games ever played in Rose Bowl. Wonder if the Cali- 1 fornia climate will be blamed for Stanford's defeat. Sunshine and rising temperatures cleared away part of the ice, much to the ease of mind of those'who drive cars. City streets in all towns north of Decatur had to put up with pavements as slick , as glass and although many minor ' accidents occurred, no one was' i seriously hurt. Tue estimated loss from fire in < this city last year is placed at less 1 than 112,000. Value of buildings and contents involved is placed at 1 more than 175,000, a good showing in respect to the tiremen's, efforts to quelch the flames. The j loss is not as low as in former 1 years, but is considered small compared to the entire value of i the city. Let the good work keep 1 , on. Every precaution should be I taken by the householder or prop-j erty owner in eliminating hazards. • A writer in a weekly magazine charges that the state of Texas runs a racket in connection with ! the law regulating oil well output. Legal production can Jic limited to 100 barrels a day. regardless of ■ potential capacity, but it the company pays a one thousand dollar daily fine, it can pump all the oil it wants. The state collects the line and when tbo oil is stored, the law is so construed that it becomes legal to hold it or sell the output. The state has collected as much as 581,00(1 a day from the illegal practice and the well oper-, ators have been able to keep up production. VERY CLEVER, THESE CHINESE: it is highly probable that conditions in China will shortly be looking up with a vengeance. Civil war and bandit brawls may be eliminated and the vast population devote itself enthusiastically Io domestic enterprise worthy of old Mr. Confucius himself. The inhabitants may be almost too busy to give adequate attention to the souls of their revered ancestors. This transformation, if it occurs.

| will be due to the shipment of Indi'aua seed corn to China for widespread tests. Three cars each of (several varieties produced at the ‘ Purdue University agricultural exI . ■ perlment station will be shipped |to the celestial domain. Heading I I the list, of course, was golden ban- | turn, followed by country gentlet Anaji -both sweet corns. Then ■ l camo various kinds of Held corn that have established so firmly the Hoosier dynasty of corn kings. ’■! Joy unspeakable will bo in store [ for the yellow race if it is provid- , ed with those luscious ears of I golden bantam. China has regard- ’' ed America as its friend, but gratiI' tude tor past services will pale in ! comparison with the boon of roastin' ears. When the missionaries Instruct the populace to apply salt, pepper aud butter aud the slant-eyed orientals begin munchmg the delectable grains, their I only sorrow will be the thought that illustrious ancestors were denied this earthly prize. If banditry still persists, the raiders will no longer demand ransom in silver, but will insist on delivery of so many bushels of I corn. But the Chinese, heretofore I submitting meekly to the slings and arrows of an unkind fate, will 1 fight to the last in defense of their | I corn. Even the Japanese may learn the peril of antagonizing a nation that ha.s had a taste of Indiana corn. The Chinese have lacked the spirit of nationalism that inspires men to tight for their country, but there is no telling I what they may endure in defense of their cornfields. Purdue's contribution also is made in the line I spirit of returning good for evil. Remember that China once sent us I mah jong.—lndianapolis Star. . o—- * STAR S1 GNAL By OCTAVINE Fur persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets . the dally horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

met by a mob of admirers and autograph seekers. They crowded close about her and soon that strange variety of sou v e nl r hunt er, wh o tears the clothes ott movie stars, was at work. Grace was wearing an ermine coat which was

given to her In Italy and which was insured for $2,000. When s)ic finally got to her car, the star says the coat was ruined. Bins Crosby bet 17 complete pingpong sets on Stanford to beat Alabama in the Rose Bowl NewYear's day. The star didn’t realize what he was starting when he made a joshing offer over the air to back Stanford to the tune of a pingr<oug set against a nickel. Letters commenced to pour in. Bing couldn't possible cover the money that was offered. But he did accept the challenge of 17 fraternities and dormitories in southern univer- | shies. If Alabama won, Bing was to send i each one the best set he can buy. If Stanford won, each man in the dormitory or the fraternity was to write to T’aiamount and to Bing’s radio sponsor urging that the crooner got a raise. These polo playing youngsters from Claremore, Oklahoma, put to 1 ahame the society sportsmen, who | spend thousands of dollars a year to maintain stables and dress tho game. Will Rogers put up tin money for the boys to come to Los Angeles and meet the Stanford team, of which the comedian's son is a member. Will heard that the Claremore boys were going to stop oft on the way and play the University of Arizona, which recently took Stanford for a trimming. He wired advising against it. I They replied: "We might, as well ' play them, we are driving out and | have to-stop there for gas anyway." With what, horses, they could i borrow, th* Claremore boys did take I on the University of Arizona and ; they beat them 4to 2. Will aven had to go out and buy

Mr. Merica has the qualifications which make for a suc essful auction career and should go far in his chosen profession. Mr. Merica will return home the middle of Jauuury and will then be ready to engage in the practice of auctioneering. 0 — Kills Biggest Turkey Hurricane Deck.

The doctor's father, Jesse Busheyhead, used to be chief man of the Cherokee nation. These Oklahomans do support Hie hometown boys. The other night I’inkey Tomlin, he made the world sit up with “The Object of My Affections’’, did a national broadcast as a guest artist on the Bing Crosby program. Just before the broadcast, Tomlin got a wire: “City council sitting in special session and the whole town listening in. (Signed) Mayor of Durant, Okla."
