Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Don't let the comic Valentine make your face red. Everybody will know when the Hauptmann jury reports. Huey Long has to furnish body-j guards for his children and prob-' ably is learning that after all, his tactics don't pay. Seth Parker may be in trouble and then again it may be a publicity stunt. Remember the nursery rhyme of calling "wolf” once too often. Miss Duke s hardest job is trying not to do anything and with about 50 million dollars on hand I that's not the easiest thing in the ' world to do. The Dionnes are sued for one million dollars for breach of contract. By the time they finish their vacation here they will be patients for Dr. Dafoe. New York City lias spent four million dollars to remove snow from thte streets since January 23. ' Another reason in favor of building big cities down south. i River pollution will cease if all tile cities receive federal funds for the construction of sewage disposal plants. It seems to be a need 1 in every Indiana town and one that the future generation will demand, i Frank Thompson of Bluffton, i representative from Adams and Wells counties, is making a record in the legislature. As majority: l leader, he directs the passage of legislation. The Indianapolis Star refers to him as the man who "talks little and does much." Not a bad reputation. i If you value your dog and wish to keep it, don’t let it run loose. Police have received many complaints from citizens about stray dogs and the law clearly defines what tlie officer shall do when the owner of the cannie is not known. Down at Portland 41 dogs were killed iq one day. Tlie houses at the Homestead division are fast nearing completion and it will only be a matter of a few months until the hill is inliabitatcd by men, women and children. It will prove an ideal home site and those who have contracted for tire bungalows are anxious to move into them. Another national observance of Lincoln's birthday. The greatness of the Civil war president grows witli each generation and his fame seems to lie in the fact that he was kind and human. His outlook on life, his sympathy for Hie masses, still holds good today. His lovable character will always be cherished by AmericansThe Decqtur school board has prepared its inventory of community needs, including the construction of a new building. If federal money can be obtained tor this

purpose, it would fill a need which the city will have to supply some day. With budgets cut and tax levies reduced, it is practically Impossible to build school buildings under the bonding method. Indiana has another woman sheriff, the Boone county commissioners naming the widow of Sheriff Peper to the post. Wonder what the great trail-blazer and Indian tighter for whom the county was named thinks of that? It's a good thing the law doesn't provide I for the appointment of the husband as mother of the house, for surely there would be a lot of failures. The appointment of Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson as chairman of tlie American Red Cross Is most fitly made. The title which was given to Roger Bacon —"The Admiral Doctor” — belongs in a peculiar sense to Grayson. As sometime guardian of the health of Presidents of the United States lie succeeds to the headship of the organization concerned above all others with the health of the world. The Red Cross movement, which began with an effort to relieve the distress of those left to perish on the field of battle, has in its American expression extended its activI ities to include the alleviation of all manner of human sufferings from fire or flood, famine or pestilence, earthquake or tornado, as well as from the wounds of war. Admiral Grayson is a true Knight of the Red Cross in the highest interpretation of the Red Cross and in his personal qualities. He leads a host of us.—New York TimesvNk.T, W OLARLkY cRANT t A pretty face kin cause a lot o’ ugly talk. Sametimes after he throws hisself at lier feet, she throws things at his head. Nope penny thoughts ain't worth a dime. Shellin’ out gits many a chap off his nut There's lots o' fellers workin' full time half heartedly. Many a poor domino lias a dern checkered career. A feller seldom sets a good ex- 1 ample by settin'. i A bushel o’ fun kin cause a peck > o’ trouble. It's never a good idea t’ write a bad check. Too many base ball fans git hot. It's better t' slam th’ door than your neighbor. Gal —A riddle that keeps th’ boys : guessin’ but they can't give em up. o > - Humor Magazine Made Attempt To Ridicule Lincoln Washington, Feb. 12 —(UP)- So universally loved was Abraham Lincoln that an attempt to ridicule him was revealed today as a prized possession of the Library of Congress. V. Valta Palma. Custodian of tie rare book section of the library, displayed. on the 126th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, the only known copy in existence of the bugle-aorn of liberty, published August 1863, at Griffin, Ga. The so-called humor magazine carried a full page engraving of an East -Indian, nude to the waist, over the caption: "Abraham Lincoln, grand vizer of the Untied States, from a photograph by public opinion, Esq.” On the sixtli page was an editorial saying the Bugle Horn presented the illustration so its readers could see the "Northern President'’ as he really was and not as his photograph .showed him. The engraving, it was added, should be saved so that a new caption could be supplied oieh month for various cabinet members. The following mouth the iiead of the East Indian was printed with the caption that it was Horace Greely, Editor of the New York Tribune. Memorial To Eielson Fairbanks, Alaska,-(U.R) - A memorial building to the late Beu Eiei- ’ son, famed northern aviator, is nearing completion at Alaska college. The building will include a seismograph, to record Alaska's - frequent earthquakes.
