The truth of the matter In that while the Kepuldii ana were "enjoying" trachera and milk at 25 cent* a helping. most of the boy* were wondering how the party tonld raire a little money for the j campaign. —o —o— The rabbi: hunting season <lo»- ‘ ed today.

I annual road school to Ite held at Pnrdue. January 22 Io 2d. The Indiana road school Is recognised as one of the most wonhy in the , country and practices and methods used and discovered In the job of building and maintaining roads are made public so that bettor roads t can be built and more economical- ' ly kept up. —O—o—— j President lloosevolt takes th* ) right attitude about his job. The I past seven years have bet it about j it;- most Mreneous tn history, yet j I he thrives on It hl« health is perI I feet, he has a gracious smile and 1 ' on top <>f It. says "It’s a lot of fun." of course there are disappointments hi the offitt-, but the presl dent Is not thin skinned, fakes , it with a smile and keeps on fighting No president has ever done a better Job. —o o - President Roosevelt Is without 1 doubt the greatest and most convim Ing speaker In the country. Few people, whether public speakers. elocutionist*, or even professional actors have the ability, or can match the artistry of speech that flows from the lipa ot the president. He can tell a Josh Hillings stnry in one paragraph and then Hint to the statesman type, make every word musical and convincing. lb- is a master before the microphone and Americans always feel proud of him when they hear him apeak. —o It la gratifying to note tn* splendid financial condition of the < ity government and of the municipal —

uiilitii* The general fund, which belongs to the taxpayer*, now , Maud* at more than lift 000, an | Increase of Itt<‘. over a year ago. 'while the electric and water utilHie* have more than 5425.000 on I hand*. Including about threeI fourth* of the money obtained j from the aale of 5250.000 of electrl< utility bond*. The only regnttable part l«, that the tax rate for the civil city was raised for this year, the rate being boost•«l from 40 to 45 tent* on th* I lion. Th- general fund is in such I shape that the increase would not have been necessary. —O-0 — It ha* often l»een said that If you want a good turn-out at a m-etlng. advertise that you are go |ma to feed the crowd. Service ‘ - luh* maintain a higher attendance percentage with their luncheon* and dinner*, than lodges do that do net offer food tn connection with their meeting*. A • hamber of Commerce meeting without a banquet would be a ffop. The same Idea was tarried through with the Ja<k*on bay banquets at 15 to 51st(» per plate. The crowd* came, en- , joyed th- novelty and dinner* and didn't aqsibble about the excess whlth went to pay off the Democratic party debt. It wa* all done In the open and If thoae who paid th> fam y prices didn't object, why Should anyone else. And here’s * lip: If you want to raise money for a community fund, the Boy Scouts or the Red Cross, start off your campaign with a dinner and If you can charge the guest* double price, you’ll stand a better chance of raising the quota. —o Millions of ha hie* have bo w . soothed to slumber by the languorou« melody of the great international lullaby, "Rock-a-Bye Baby." The word* and the music seem to be Inseparable from babyhood In this part of the world. For decade* towslod little head* have nodded to that accompaniment and weary eyes have closed to the favorite obbligato of the sandman. Few mother* who crooned the familiar words and air Moppod to wonder where they originated. It seemed as If they might have bean handed down from tho traditions of bygone centuries. Many will loam for th* first time the name of the woman who wrote this famous lullaby through announcement of her death In Boston'* City Hospital. Sternal Bleep came to Mrs.
