it might be 60 below in Wyoni ] Ing, but a January wind in Indiana ' will freeze the marrow in any i man's bones. How about remodeling your house next spring? Now is the ■time to work out your plans, inquire about finances and enjoy the comforts of improvements when the job is completed. — It you can dance you are not afflicted with paralysis. Proceeds from the birthday ball for the President go to help those who can't walk. Hy purchasing tickets you provide entertainment for yourself and help the unfortunate. The newly-elected Governor of I North Dakota is in a hot spot. Impeachment proceedings have been filed against him on the grounds that he is not a resident of the state and the lieutenant-governor ’ is presiding at the trial. Many a ’ fellow has slipped into the gover-i Dor’s chair through the lower post. The director of the subsistence' homesteads gave an instructive talk the other evening and admitted that mistakes were made in I the Reedsville project, the first to ■ be started by the government.! There is no comparison between | the Reedsville settlement and the i local homestead division. The Decatur project w ill no doubt be used . as a model and will in every way| measure up to the standards of! economy and adaptability. It will be a wholesome home center and ; the money has been well spent. — The city-wide home modernization campaign will get underway! here on January 31. when R. Earl Peters, state director of the FH' I will visit Decatur and meet with those interested in the house repair program. Former Mayor George Krick is city chairman and with the cooperation of citizens plans a survey of the needs of home owners. Much employment can result from the remodeling and repair program and finances are available to those who can liquidate on the monthly payment plan. Decatur should go forward under the plan. As the Hauptmann trial goes on. it is interesting to lead of the precautions used by Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh and members of their immediate families to prevent a repetition of the tragedy which befell their first son. The Lindbergh home is protected by scores of officers, with orders to slioot-to-kill. electric signals stud the place and no one is allowed on the grounds without a permit. When the child,

. brother of the kidnaped baby, is I taken for u drive, guards armed ’ with machine guns accompany the I car. It's terrible to live in such 1 ! dread and fear, nut probably is one r i lof the prices paid tor national I prominence and in an age when t' demons resort to kidnaping and , killing for the sake of money. I - ' DOBBIN, FRIEND t TO MAN: Farmers are buying more horses. ; says the president of the American D Veterinary Medical association. ? The general purpose horse is bringj ing more money in New York than 5 for 10 years. The horse has suf- > I sered some loss of popularity, but ’’, he has his virtues. It takes him a ' long time to get into Main street, but you don't have to walk in because you forgot your gasoline. Old Dobbin has performed a many sided service. He would plough the field in the morning. . and after supper trundle you in /town to see the sights. If you were too much occupied with the girl friend to guide his steps, he would plug along safely in the middle of the path. You spent more time on the way, but less in | the hospital and court. | Dogs have won more affection ■ than horses, because of their charming and plausible manners. Fido wags his tail and nestles his nose in your hands, and you are thrilled by his pleading eyes. But don't call on him for any economic service. If you hitch him up ■ to a wheelbarrow and ask him to trundle a few loads of wood into I the sited, he will bark at you with his laughter, and tip the wood into the ditch. Dobbin has no such lack of responsibility. Whatever tasks you i command of him. he performs, and makes no talk about it. He toils 1 over the dusty roads in summer ' until the sweat pours from his matted hair. He utters no com-1 plaint when you leave him uncov- ! ered in the winter wind. All he ! asks is a warm barn to sleep in and enough hay and oats to keep i him going. He may never again have his old place in this swift age. But his willing and unrewarded service has some quality of devotion that you I rarely find in the animal or huil man world. It is not surprising ! that many country folks are finding a place for him again, and that .' his cheerful patter is heard over the roads. —Edward K. Titus. o * ST AR SIGNALS * By OCTAVINE ♦ — ♦ ' For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets I the daily horoscope is outlined by a ! noted astrologer.

"Looking To The Fu ture.” , ...mor ■With wider rights-of-wa), wider shoulders and wider culverts on our more important thoroughfares, divided lanee on most heavilj travelled roads and with a net " l,r eL-ctriv lines threading their way to the farm homes of Indiana, we may face the future with assurance that curs is a part of the world ready to meet what comes, he stated. "Each of the three suggestions mentioned, he said, will bring many social benefits and will enhance the opportunities of future generations lx.ru in this state, and, .bock of all our planning we must recognize that Indiana's basic strength lies forever rooted in the soil. Citing the d rease in fatalities from motor vehicle accidents on seeticns of the state highways where' widening has been done, Mr. Adams pointed out that there is i direct rec lationship between the reduced number of fatalities on the widened highway as compared to the larger number of accidents on the highway which has not been widened. He also referred to statisti c showing Indian.i’s 5.49 per cent increase in fatalities from motor vehicle accidents while the averaging hide accidents whil the average increase for the United States was * over 16 per cent. D . Turning to the se .nd of his j ? points Mr. Adams snid. If we are to look the future squarely in the fa ? 11 we must realize the necessity of dii. vided highways, meaning paralleling roadways each of which would be 20 feet or more in width with each lane carrying tr.tt'ic in opposite directions. By iividing th s< r ad ways the danger of headon collisions would be eliminated and the number of collisions tremendously | redu.ed. The 30- or 40-foot roadway I does not elimirute the danger of a I -crushing headon smash, he said * citing records of a ened portions of the Dunes Relief ! ' Highway, Nati.nal Road and oth--1 er3 - Discussing the g bgraiphical position of Indiana and the balance bes tween agriculture aid industry Mr. Adams said that maintenance of that balance is necessary if the * state is to attain the position that her natural endowments offer. Rural electrification is a means of enabling Indiana farmers to hold their o own against those of other sections and he predicted tbit as this devels opment might come more quickly than w.'s anticipated it is not too early to consider what it will mean to thread power lin s up and down the highways, it will lead he assert ed to a decent! ilization of pooula- ' tion with the measure of attainment ' to be determined by the thorough- | ness, the promptness and the ag- ► gressiveneas with which we undertake rural eie trification ti a big _ I scale.” o i 1/ncLs . ftY CHARLEY qgANT < Lots of preachers long for a short circuit. It pays to keep going until you get things a coming. Some kids need their hearts warmed, others their pants. We need more bridge contracts and less contract bridge. Always popping off isn't any way to get on. Fiery tempers never make warm friends. Loafers are seldom lifters. First class people never live double lives. You can always fix your clock by killing time. Staggering statements sometimes have a sobering effect. In church some folks are workers, others are shirkers. You can tell men by the way they walk, talk and balk. I Fiery sermotis are never dry. Long winded preachers deserve to get the air.
