A canning factory would help a I lot of people by providing labor and a market tor farmers ol this Yiiosram tor the Chamber of Commerce. Law makers m the state iegisia tures and in congress are trying, the old problem of how to spend money and reduce taxes. Never has been successfully solved and never will.

Any thing they can do to prevent the sale of the obscene literature in any form should help and while they are at it they ought to let the censoring committee pass on many of the modern novels. Movie fans are stunned by the accusations against their favorite Jack Benny and hope lie can convince the federal judge when he appeals before him to answer the smuggling charges. The famous comedian lias entertained millions each Sunday evening over the

If this serum Is what ia claimed and 3 we have no reason to doubt the ; experts, the great state of Indiana I should certainly spend the $75,000 ? necessary to have it so that the ) poor and the rich alike can take > advantage of it. Prime Minister Chamberlain of England will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that he has made a good fight. He favors "peace at any price" and Is probably right for war is the most ex-i pensive and most useless thing we know of. It never settles any thing except temporarily and the nations of Europe will gain much by following the advice of the man who is willing to go to extremes to preserve peace. mi — A penny a day is < ertainly small cost for your home newspaper. It gives you not only the court news, hospital items, accidents, sports, society, locals and features but it 1 gives you also the legal notices, want advertisements and the announcements of the merchants.

That's | always wise. Signs show how long ! you can park on the down town I streets and where you cannot park j laws were en- 4 acted to make driving safer and there Is no reason why special privileges should be extended to any one. Speeding on the city streets is dangerous for you and for others. The police deserve credit for trying to enforce the laws and are entitled to the sup- n [rfirt of every fair minded person. • attend the annual banquet of the j ■ Chamber of Commerce on the 19th J « matters will be discussed, includp ing the street fair. Do you favor x I ihe annual week when farm exhibits from the best county in the [ c state are shown and when various 0 t< forms of entertainment attract thousands from far and near or do - you believe in a change of the t< ’.program? This will be your opportunity to declare yourself as s an open discussion will be con- 11 ducted. The real meaning of war, not its dead and wounded, but starvation I of children, the suffering of wonifii, the privation of those who know nothing of its purpose or its causes, is brought home by the ‘ sending of wheat to Spain. Again . America sends more than sympathy. The President has arranged for distribution through the Red , Cross of vast quantities of flour i to both sides in the civil war nowraging, There's no attempt to' settle the right or wrong—only I deep sympathy with those who must hear Its penalities and who I do not understand anything, except their own hunger. Numerous car owners favor the proposed flat five-dollar a year automobile license tax which it is i said would reduce the state in- ' come $2,700,000. Looks as though Us just a matter of deciding whether or not we wish to spend that much less on the highways I for that’s where it should be spent 'and where .practically all of it is' spent. Indiana has a wonderful highway system and the best roads ■ of any state in the tin lon. it I would be pleasant, to every car ' ' cwni.i' to have I lie reduction, after 1 all slight to each individual, but. if :; it means less attention to the roads, the same people who favor
