E. club house in Fort Wayne, caused a $7,i 500 fire loss. If you smoke inside buildings take a moments time in rubbing or stamping our your cig aiette and save needless loss to property. Probably some of the prisoners in Joliet penitentiary were sent up for gambling and wanted to keep up on their poker. They must have had table stake games, if winnings totaled as high as $1,500. It would appear that we are still in need of prison reform. All new wealth comes from the soil. In this county it is produced from the farms. Out in North Dakota. a deposit of 20 million tons of glauber salt, worth about $350.000,000 has been found WPA workers. That will pay the relief bill for sometime in that state. The word picture which Attor j ney Leibowitz sketched for Bruno Hauptman didn't move the convicted kidnaper and hopes have faded of obtaining a death-house confession from him. The courts have decided the case and it seems the verdict will stand. President Roosevelt is again proving his great leadership during the present session of congress. Everything is running smoothly, needed legislation is being passed, the country moves ahead and each proves that the man in the White House knows where he is going and what is best for the country. If anyone is inclined to be a ‘‘stick-up " man. he is advised not to try it on an artist. A Chicago hoodlum pulled a hold-up in a restaurant the oUter night and an artist happened to be present. He went to his studio, drew a sketch of the robber, which was so realistic that the police found their man within a few hours. The new farm bill, supplanting the AAA, is practically assured favorable action in congress. The entire Indiana delegation in the House, including Halleck. Republican member, will vote for it. The, bill is a modified law of the oue which the supreme court held unconstitutional and is said to come within the interpretations of the high court. No doubt you are among those who have thought that you would like to retire to old New England , and watch the world go. Mrs. Cool tdge is offering her home “The Beeches" al Northampton, for sale, together with part of its furniture and the home like atmosphere of the place, together with the fad that a former president lived there will no doubt bring u quick sale lot the place. The primary election is a little more than two months away and

probably due to the cold weather, hasn't wanned up much yet. The election eommiusionera. Thomae J. Durkin. Democrat and Grover Oliver, Republican, have been appoint ed by the party chairmen and with County clerk G. Remy Bierly. will look after the duties in connection with the printing of the ballots and holding of the election. In most of the county ofiices to be filled, the incumbents are candidates for reelection. Curl Pumphrey, president aqd Art Voglewede, secretary, of the Centennial Association, together with several of the chairmen and committee members already appointed have the ball rolling for the big event. Enthusiastic support is being shown by individual and organization and the first step towards the guaranteeing of a great community party next August will l>e tile launching of the Goodwill bond sale in a couple of weeks. With funds assured, the program will take form and a celebration. unique in the history of the county will be staged. It will be clean, inspiring, constructive. A municipal heating system might be installed here if sufficient contracts could be obtained and the assurance given that the improvement would pay for itself. The city plant, we are informed, has ample boiler facilities, to supply live steam for heating purpos es. If an investigation were made by interested persons and contracts obtained so the city could proceed in a business-like way. the construction of distribution lines might be started next year. Those who shoveled coal this year would appreciate the relief which a municipal heating plant would bring. The amount of revenue obtainable ' within the district where the system could be constructed largely determines the possibility of having such a community improvement.

By CHARLES &RENHAM Internaional Illustrated News Louisville, Ky.—Latest of the projects to improve living and educational standards of people living in the remote hills of Kentucky is the plan for a series of radio list- I cuing centers. Several of these centers have I already ben established by the Uni- : versify of Kentucky which maintains studios at Louieville where ■ more than 900 educational, agri-1 cultural and musical programs will, be broadcast in 1936. Members of ■ the faculty are responsible fori presenting programs relative to! their special field. One of the nov-' el series planned includes a group I of weekly broadcasts on important • scientific discoveries of the past.. The radio listening center plan was inaugurated by the university' several years ago w.,.i< idea of bringing the people loc: lin remote regions of caster >;>lucky the educational and cuntiiral advantages offered by the radio.

George 1’ | Mayo a quarter of a century ago, ! the school has a present enrollI ment of 200 students and an alum ini group which has been highly ! influential in improving the living I standards of the backward hill I people.

Culture Comes to Hills When the school started iu 1910, the most advanced class was • the sixth grade. Standards were ■ gradually improved, the co-opera-tion and onfldence of the hill people v. won. and a high school i i department instituted in 1912. in (1918 the first I’tgit school gradual•ng class received diplomas and iu ■ 11928 the school was put on the alate list of accredited cdilcatiouui institutions.

sion steps have been taken, courses added in home economies and agriculture, and training in commercial fields included in the curriculum. By such projects have education i and culture been introduced into regions which were completely out of contact with the outside world 20 years ago.

DISPELLING THE FOG Bv Charles Michelson Director of Pu”.city, Democratic National Committee

During the past fortnight there liave been speeches from oue eml of the country to the other directed to the sins of the Roosevelt administration aud the beatific purposes of the Republican party. A good deal of this eloquence was probably provoked by the speech of Governor Landon of Kan sas Not that the Governor said anything, for even the editorial spokesmen who most applauded his utterance felt compelled to slip in an apology for the lack of ideas, drabness of expression and absence of constructive suggestion, and they all hastened to assure the country that a man did not have to be an orator to qualify as President of the limited States. However, the rest of the candid ates did not intend to let the Kansan have what ever advantage there was in the resulting publicity, so they all turned loose speeches. Ex-President Hoover repeated everything he has said in every other speech solemnly and vehemently. Col Knox of Chicago viewed with alarm everything he had viewed with alarm at any time since he was bitten by the presidential bug. Even the remote asteroids of the political firmament, like Senator Dickinson of lowa, and Bert Snell, shot off their firecrackers, while Senator Vandenberg contributed the one new thought of the bombadment with his brilliant suggestion that if the “Jeffersonian Democrats" would quit their party and throw in with him he was quite prepared to give one or two of the N> w Deal Democrats places in »<s ibinet. Vandenberg's ingenious thought was the oniy novelty in the whole presentation. Indeed it represents perhaps the oniy contribution from the Michigan Senator to the gayety of the campaign. He has not yet disclosed that he is for anything, against anything, committed to anything, or even that he ,'oins Colonel Knox in his viewing with alarm. This rough presentation of his principles is perhaps what makes Senator Vandenberg one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. None of the others seem to agree with candidate Hoover that he had the depression licked six months before the 1932 election. It is equally true that the hopeful ones do not go along with the Ex President in his discovery that it was only the shadow of the impending New Deal that brought about the crisis that compelled the closing of the banks by the incoming President, Mr. Hoover has one advantage

over the Congressional and BenaJ torial aspirants for the Republican nomination in as much as he does not have to admit any virtue of any kind in the acts of the Roosevelt administration. He can condemn them all. The other fellows, especially Vandenberg, have got to differentiate in order to a- ■ void the embarassment of explaini ing how and why they voted for l nearly all of the New Deal enact--1 uienls. even those which have . since been frowned upon by the ■ Supreme Court. We can look forward to similar outbursts of political drumfire whenever one of the Republican > candidates feels called upon to lay his views or lack of views before - 1 the country. For in such a free-for- ■ all as the scramble for the honor ■ of being the next Republican to be . defeated for the Presidency, each . political pot will naturally boil over whenever one of the others i sounds off. I Lincoln Day provided the occai sion for the start of the bubbling that is now just quieting down • The general tribute to Lincoln was . the emphasis laid on his adherence - to the Constitution and his respect for the Supreme Court, carrying the implication that the present - President of the United States was -a very sinful and rebellious official in this regard. It did not apparenti ly occur to those who drew the • comparison that no President was I ever freer in displaying his exasi peration and dissent than the same > Abraham Lincoln. Just think what a commotion would have been raised had Frank- ; Hin D. Roosevelt, when a candidate ■ for the Presidency, accused the i Supreme Court of playing politics, i In 1858 when Lincoln was hav- - ing his debates with Douglas and t the election of President Buchan- . an s successor was in everybody's I mind. Mr. Lincoln made this anj norncement from the hustings: “It i is my opinion that the Dred Scott I decision, as it is, never would have t been made in its present form if f the party that iflhde it had not been sustained previously by the - election. My own opinion is that the new Dred Scott decision de- - tiding against the iTght of the t people of the States to exclude t slavery, will never be made If that t party is not sustained by the elecI tion. I believe further that it is just as sure to be made, as tomorrow is to come, if that party shall be sustained.” It was just about the same time that Lincoln, arraigning Judge Douglas for contending there was something vicious in taking political exception to the Supreme Court
