Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Strange as it seems, we heard a man say he would be glad when summer rolled around. A great question has been settled. Indiana university is to continue to have a Prom Queen and that is of more interest to the co-eds than anything congress might do. World War veterans arc applying daily for their bonus and the local service officer estimates that learly one-third of the total have ipplied. Veterans in this county have mere than $300,000 coming to them and it is likely that all will draw their payments. For those who wish to hold their bonds, the government will pay three per cent interest. The death toll from the extreme cold weather has been fixed at more than 200. Despite efforts to aid all those in need, many died before relief could be provided and the number who fell victim to the sub-zero blast is in no way a reflection on the charitable attitude of individual or organization Many died from exposure before they could be reached by agencies desirous to alleviate suffering. Political leaders are lining up for the various candidates tor governor and within a short time the campaign will be on to ybtain delegates favorable to the aspirants for the highest elective office in lhe state. The conventions will be held in June. In Adams county the Democrats will elect 12 delegates and the Republicans seven. Their support will be courted by the candidates and the conventions will name the party standard bearers. It is likely that the special session of the legislature will be held the week of Maf'-h 2. To participate in the benefits of the federal security act, including unemployment and old age pension relief the -IX states must pass state enforcement acts, conforming to the federal law. In this state the age limit for pensions will be reduced from 70 to 65 years. Other provisions must be set up so that men and women eligible for benefits can participate in them and for that reason the special session is called. The death of former Vice-Presi-dent Charles Curtis, recalls to mind the great opportunities for advancement in this country. Mr. Curtis was born of poor parents and Indian blood flowed in his veins. His first job was as a Jockey, later a newspaper reporter. then a lawyer and filially a public career. He served as congressman. United States senator from Kansas and four years as vicepresident under President Hoover. He had a lovable disposition, was slow au d easy going, honest throughout and was admired by his countrymen because of his sincerity and wlllnguess to serve. He was 76 years of age and his

death waa sudden. His Ute is a shining example of what youth cun do in this country. —■ - ■ig'"' Tho»e on the sidelines who ■ have watched the fight of Mayor t Hangs and his administration tn Huntington were not surprised to learn that the Indiana Public Ser--1 vice Commission turned down their i proposal to build a competing electric line in that city. Wo don't , wish to advise any city or mayor, i but It does look as if the boys arc 1 off ou the wrong track. Private ’ interests have some consideration k and the right's of others should be I considered. If Huntington wants ' a municipal plant thte thing to do is to buy one or borrow the money and start one. To have a community in a continual uproar does not look like good business on the side lines. The Campbell-Ewald company, nationally know n advertising agency, handling such leading ac- * counts as General Motors and othi er big concerns, this month cele--1 brated its twenty-fifth anniversary in business. The concern is known in every newspaper office and probably by every large manufacturing institution. It has done much ‘ to build sales for its clients and ’ to prove the merits of newspaper ' advertising. Clients and newspapers alike admire their style and aggressiveness. We join with the newspapers throughout the coun- ’ try in extending congratulations 1 to those who have built the agency to the high degree of efficiency J and service in the past quarter century. I -—- February is a month so filled ’ with the birthdays of great men, r land great institutions that it might |be interesting to inquire for a I moment into the reasons for great- i '!ness itself. Ancient historians—(Homer for example—were inter’jested in the ventures and exploits 1 ■ of great men. But they were satis- ‘ ned witth the fact that their subl jects were heroes and made good j stories. They told the t stories, i were listened to with wide-eyed awe, and everybody was, so far as we knew, happy and satisfied. But modern students have inquired just a little more deeply into the j matter. And the inquiry was! worth the result. They have reached the illuminating conclusion ( that greatness comes to men and f institutions in direct ratio to the decree those men or those instii B I tutions serve a great need.

Taylor pulled a revolver and ordered Lan- ' tis out of the muchiue and eseap-1 ed amid a shower of bullets fired, al the machine by Lantits. He abandoned the stolen car lat- ; er that day near Domestic, in the, 1 southeastern part of Wells county, latter wrecking it in a snowdrift., I He hired a farmer to take him to I Geneva, where he purloined a ma-j

H Bangs, defendant In h suit to prohibit commercial extensions of the city electric plant. Special Judge Hubei M Ihnoss. Decatur, announced he would not come to Huntington until road and weather renditions improve. The sitation was asked by the Northern Indiana Power company. 1 the object of Mayor Bangs’ twoIyear *ißl>t to supplant the private utility with the city’s plant. A similar contempt action recently was dismissed in circuit court, but lift power company Hied an amended complaint, ruling on which now is awaited from Judge DeVoss.
