Well bet you haven't worked much in the garden plot so far this year. We believe when the weather man says, “10 below," he means just that. Over at Huntington a bill for i $403.75 has been hied with the | council for street lights for the | first 10 days of December. Thai's at the rate of better than S4O a day and Huntington has fewer street lights than Decatur. Towns with municipal plants that waive street lighting costs save the taxpayers thousands of dollars a year. Dr. Fred Patterson will head tile pageant committee for the Centennial celebration next August, . It will be a great community show, a review of the past 100 years, depicted by local people and directed by a professional who understands the staging of such community undertakings. The pageant will be one of the features o* the Centennial program. The township assessors will start out the first week in March to assess i gk property and added improdOKnts to real estate. The jobiTiol an easy oue to say the least, is important in many respects. Not much change is anticipated in the total valuation, as real estate will not be assessed this year. The tendency will be towards higher valuations for personal property, as values have increased over a year ago. TVA DECISION: The Supreme Court, by a vote of 8 to 1. has upheld the constitutionality of TVA, which will permit the government to sell surplus electric power made at Muscle Shoals and points where federal dam projects have been constructed. The Indianapolis Star, in commenting on the decision, says m part: “No one can read the decision without being impressed w-ith the sincerity of the justices iti their ruling. They have not listened to the arguments of those who painted pictures of how the TVA might use the power generated to start factories and otherwise compete with private industry. .lustice Hughes made the point that it does not devolve upon the court to decide anything except the case before it. The issue wus the validity of the contract with the Alabama Power Company for the electrical power generated al the Wilson dam. “The court held that the governmi nt had the constitutional right to erect that dam under its war powers and also has the authority to erect dams as a part of its pro gram to improve navigation. It took tluit view that the government was not exceeding its auth-

ority iu xclllut. the surplus power generated In connection with the construction of such dams. It did not say the government has a right to erect darns and create power ’ plants simply for the purpose <>f providing power. It did not even touch on the authority of the government to go into the business of rural electriticatiom but confined itself to 'he disposal of the issue before it." BACKBONE OF DEFENSE: Governor McNutt paid a well-de-served tribute to the National Guard of Indiana and other states iu his Sunday afternoon address. The Hoosier National Guardsmen rank among the best in the nation. The various branches are completely modernised aud motorised. The 113th observation squadron is one ot the most efficient flying units in the country. Indiana has a well-balanced aud thoroughly up-to-date state military organization that would be the nucleus around which a great fighting force could be built up in the minimum of time, in case of national emergency. Our country as the Governor pointed out, is not militaristic nor has it any territorial ambitions. We have never waged a war of conquest and have no intention of departing from our custom. We are interested only in our own safety. It is important that we should be prepared for any trouble that might come to us. That does not call for a great standing army, 'as some nations in Europe deem | necessary, but we should have the ] groundwork for assembling as speedily as possible our necessary defensive strength. The National Guard is the tiain ed nucleus of our defense. It is. as the Governor staled, the back bene of military preparedness. The service the members of the guard render is not always realized and not always appreciated. Membership in a National Guard unit involves much training, much sacrifice of time and effort on the part of tiie guardsmen. It is not always either convenient or pleasant. to be called on for action in cases of disorders, but it is duty and the guardsmen respond. The mere fact that they are prepared and may be relied on to do their duty is probably a much greater factor in preventing lawlessness than is realized. — Indianapolis Star. o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Q. Who should buy the two wedding rings when the doublering service is to be used? A. The bridegroom should buy the ring for his bride, but the bride should buy the one for the bridegroom. Q. How cau oue show remembrance of anniversaries without buying expensive gifts? A. A note, an appropriate card, or a few flowers will suffice. Q. What does an gratin mean? A. "Dishes covered with crumbs and browned.” o ♦ ♦ Household Scraphook By Roberta Lee Care of Cereals As soon as any cereal is received from the grocer, empty it into proper receptacle of tine or glass, with close-fitting cover. The cereal will keep belter, and this will prevent insects from entering. Children A scolding is often essential in the training of a child, but just as inyportant Is to praise the child when he has been good, or has done something commendable. Too many mothers practice the former and forget the latter. Ink Stains Ripe tomato juice is an excellent agent for removing fresh ink stains. o Gospel Tabernacle Special services at the tabernacle Sunday, beginning with the Bible school at 9:30. Preaching services at 10:30 by Jie Mi-Sherry party. Evening services. Rev. Noah Klopfenstine will bring ids farewell message. Special music aud singing at all services.

Will the fame and fortune won by Ziegfeld beauties of ths past be duplicated by the 1936 edition of “glorified girls" who are now featured in the movie version of the Follies? If so, their careers will be meteoric ones for many of those who started in the chorus of the late master showman’s lavish revues went on to scale the heights. Tragedy blighted some of the loveliest; several deserted Broadway- for marriage, and others became headliners, in the euUrlaitunent world.

came an international sensation as a "shimmy” dancer. Imogene Wilson, one of the most stunning of Ziegfeld beauties, became embroiled in a scandal, went to Europe, returned to try her luck in Hollywood but failed to click, and married a millionaire who shortly after went broke. Ruth Etting climbed to the heights in radio. Lilyan Tashman was another who made good, only to have her career cut short by death last year. It remains for time to reveal whether the new Follies beauties will live .up to past traditions established by the glamorous girls.whom J'Ziecie” glorified.
