Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Christ Bischoff of Huntington says his wife beat him up the other day so severely he had to call the police for protection. Now really that seems to be going a little too far with women's rights. Newspaper men, meeting in Indianapolis today and tomorrow and representing the various organizations of that kind will talk some shop, some politics but for the most part, just renew old friendships and form new ones. The finding of an Allen county jury that S. F. Bowser, 82-year-old industralist. after a somewhat sensational hearing in a Fort Wayne court, is we would guess, a source of satisfaction, even to the children who tiled the petition. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will champion a month of cleaning up the city and their plans will be announced soon. It's a worthy movement, deserving of support. Help these young men and women on a worth while job. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce which is the executive committee for the Agricultural Show and Free Street Fair will appreciate suggestions that will make it better and please the ]>eo pie more. That's their desire and if you want to help them, tell them what you like. Improvements on sfste highways' don't just come by request. It takes that of course and then a strong follow up by those interested. If that is not done, the desired project just “stays on the hook" ready for future reference. If we want some real improvements next year we should start after them now. Several people, desirous of building new homes, say it is almost impossible to buy lots at any price that is in conformance with value as compared to other cities this size. That's a good sign perhaps, but it also holds back the building program. Financing companies do not favor too great an investment in the lot, in comparison with what is to be spent for the building. The beautiful Methodist church at Bloomington. Indiana, one of the finest in the state, was almost totally destroyed by fire, with a loss estimated at from *150,000 to $250,000. The church was constructed of stone and one wonders how so CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present addrew and new addreaa.

serious a tire could have occurred, but the results should convince the average person that fire proof structures are next to impossible. ■ ■ ■■■■» The Lindberghs have lost them I selves to the world so frequently I that it's no longer "spot news." Os course it gives the special Correa- . pendents a chance each time it occurs to send out alarming mess- , ages but always in due time the i Colonel and his wife appear suri prised to have been missed. It looks like they can take pretty good care of themselves and don't care for the sensational hunts that consistently follow their "takeoffs." Congressman Pettingill says its congress and not the Supreme Court that's wrong and declares its "unfair to make the court the residuary legatee of sloppy, halfbaked writing." The public will ' be inclined to agree with him but like so many proponents of governmental correction, Mr. Pettingill fails to give the antidote. It wouldn't do any good to increase the membership in congress and to reduce it would be far more i difficult than to make the court! function as intended by the constitution. Henry Ford says he will never recognize any outside labor union and usually he means what he says. The labor leaders say he will soon change his mind and so a is evident. It seems so foolish to I the average outsider that business 1 should thus be suspended to the I great loss of every one, but per-, haps after the entire matter is ■ thrashed out and definitely settled! for a long time, we will all recog-1 nize that the course pursued was the only one to cure the difficulties, whether real or presumed. Senator Frederick VanNuys will ' not attend the Democratic Editor- j * ial meeting at Indianapolis tojnor-l ■ row. according to news dispatches. 1 While his absence may be due to ; press of business the opposition of I course immediately decides it is j because of a great split in the' ranks. These supposed divisions are usually not as strong as they J are pictured by those who would 1 delight in seeing the party in-power split up as the G. O. P. did in 1912. We doubt if that will happen as a result oft Tie Supreme Court controversy, on which opinion is varied, and we regret as will all Democratic editors that Senator VanNuys will not be able to attend the (annual winter meeting of the association. with his smile, his hand-1 shake and his words of advice. George Morris. 61, head of the Morris chain stores, well-known here and recognized as one of Indiana's outstanding business men.' is dead after a short illness following a nervous collapse. His passing is deeply regretted by those who have come to recognize his excellent qualities as a business man and civic leader. His stores . are scattered over the middle west! and represent the very acme of, modern enterprise. In most cities where they are located the com pany owns the real estate and buildings and are a part of the' community. Mr. Morris's idea has always been that any concern which does business in a commun i ity, should have a genuine interest in those things which tend to betI ter that community. From one little store in Bluffton the business i has been extended to a corporation I operating some sixty stores and I buying power increased by con-1 tracts with many independent com-! panics. The death of one as ac- 1 five as George Morris has been: a severe blow not only to his home ! town of Bluffton but to this entire i territory. _ o ■».
