A father of 16 children has purchased a hotel, with the idea in mind, no doubt, that most of the rooms will be occupied. Senator Nye of North Dakota remarked after reading former President Hoover's plan for recovery, that, "I don't think the people care much what Hoover says especially about gold.'’ We must be living in a new day or are too busy with other things to give much attention to elections. Chicago’s municipal primary went over without a tight and police report everything dull. Claude ft. Wickard, a Carroll county dirt farmer, is the new head of the corn-hog division «>f the AAA. He will deal with the farmer and county agent in matters pertaining to contracts and should know the farmer's viewpoint, since he himself owns and operates a 38U-acr« farm in this state. The new division head is a former state senator, a graduate of Purdue and is also a member of the Farm Bureau. Legislation is often times funny and local in nature. Because of a political scrap in Jasper, a bill has 1 been introduced, which if passed would change the existing law in all cities of thq fifth class relative to the appointment of city employes and departmental heads. Such a law should not be passed and it’s unfair to the rest of Hie i state to have local communities introduce bills, entirely local in character, but affecting a wide group of cities if they become laws. The sudden death of Dr. J. W. Visard was a shock, not only to his loved family, but to his hundreds of friends in this community. A faithful family doctor, leading citizen, successful business man and banker, Dr. Vizard was loved and admired by all whom came in contact witli him. He was public spirited, was interested in trends of the day and always conversant with current legislation aud well grounded in what was On You?

the law. He served two terms in the state legislature, later serving us chief clerk of the house and at present was health commissioner of Adams county. He loved Indiana politics and it was a privilege to converse with him on political topics or on subject of commerce and finance. He was a stalwart in the ranks, a fine gentleman, a true friend and his death removes one whom all will miss. FIVE REMAINS MAXIMUM: The wisdom of the ages is once more justified. A set of Ontario quintuplets in the hand turns out to be worth more than a sextuplet combination in the Africa bush. The latter phenomenon was reported the other day by a New Orleans physician before a group of specialists. But it is now said that the New York papers iu 1903 printed the story from Africa with pictures. into tiie discard with the equatorial sextet goes the new face of fifteen-inch human 'pigmies whose bones were discovered in India. It now seems that they were not discovered but invented. There is a superstition in those parts that bad luck can be averted if you can start a rutnor which people will believe. That is a very popular theory in other places than India, and frequently put into practice. The New Orleans gynecologists who were duly impressed by the African babies and the English scientist who described the pigmy find in India as highly important probably spoke with mental reservations. —New York Tinies. THE HIGHWAY LOAN: The legislature has enacted a law authorizing the state highway commission to borrow up to *l.-’ 000,000 to match federal money which will be made available to the state. Both federal and state funds will be used for road and bridge building improvements. The bill authorizes the commission to sell property owned by it; makes purchases of machinery and contracts for construction of buildings by the commission subject to competitive bidding, and provides that contractors shall employ unskilled laborers who are residents of the county in which the work Is being done. The Indiana Highway Commission has created plans for construction and improvement in every county in Indiana. The state road system is modern and gives Indiana highway facilities for travel and commerce unsurpassed by any state. No line of development is more valuable to progress than perfectly constructed roads. Indiana is widely recognized as the home of good highways. The present commission has made excellent progress in its administration and has built up an embracing system of good highways. Citizens of Indiana want first-class, modern roads. They are willing to pay for them. A loan to the commission is proper legislation. Every dollar disbursed by the Highway Commission is being properly and wisely expended. —Newcastle Courier-Times.

I wish at this lime to express my appreciation for the interesting contrib written by A Citizen, under the head line "The New School." Since my views are not in harmony with his I trust it will not cause him any distress. If my memory serves me rightly aud my judgement has been correctly stabilized by knowledge gained in the school of life from experience of by gone days. 1 w hole heartedly with an unbiased mind, wish I could persuade Old Father Time to turn his clock back to the time of the one room school days and with them bring lack to us the high moral, and spiritual standard of that age. Our sturdy pioneer forefathers even though many of them could not read or write. They had a vision, both morally and spiritually, that would be very fitting for this highly educated age to emulate. They fought savage Indians ami wild beasts, they labored, suffered and sacrificed and by so doing lut'd out of a dense forest, humble little homes that nt* tied so peacefully among the giant trees. They built churches, cleared, ditched and fen ed their land. They made roads and raised large families. However, these lot cabins were real homes, a place where the family Bible was constantly read and the family altar was daily used. They succeeded and prospered because they built on a solid foundation. While their trials ■ were many they pushed on with an ambition that knew no defeat,, because Morality and Religion 1

I were the two great pillars of their I happiness. Any they left to their children a good start in lite with . prospects of a bright future. The circuit rider as ministers ; were called, were not educated men according to our standard of ’ thinking. They perhaps knew but very little about Grammer. English or Rhetoric, yet during a diecoiirse they would tune their • kind gentle voice with the Angelic chorus of Heaven. They would I electrify the atmosphere with such | spirited power it would make the ! blood tingle m your veins and many were the shouts of Amen that came from the devoted pious faced Christians in the amen corner. with the people of that ag? life was real and life was earnest because their goal was Heaven. And their dealings with their fellow men wan honest and charitable. For the sake of brevity we will jump a gap in the progress of our nation, and take up historical i facts beginning around the year of 1914. We are now finding artificial ways of expressing life. ( because the new tangled ideas | had already rooted deep into the minds and hearts of our people. We had already produced a sur-, plus of college made ministers; who depended on their worldly | knowledge and oratorical power. Evolution and its kindred evils ■ was finding its way into our edit-, cational institutions. And as we j were progressing according to the . worlds foot rule of progress. Yet with our educational advantages. we lacked one essential thing necessary to a lasting and sturdy growth being vision for in reality we were actually retrogressing and degenerating. Our spir'u-J. social, political and economic life was becoming ; contaminated. We were seeking | and trying to rSise our selves to a self sufficient standard, built up over a materialistic plan. We were even convinced that the world war would put au end to all wars and preachers that were reading daily news instead of their Bible told us from crudely built platforms "that this war would make the world safe for democracy” and the results of the world’s folly was that - this war ■produced the greatest moral, spiritual, political and economic up--1 heaval that mankind has ever known. i Our educated minds taught ,
