It looks like we can't go much longer without definite settlement of strikes. If the soft coal business and the railway lines are shut down, something will have to l>o done and quickly, not only for defense but to keep the nation going It's serious.. o—o Let’s keep on being thankful that we live in a country where we have so many natural resources. where we believe in free Speech and free press, where we believe in justice and the Golden Rule and where we are willing to forget personal and selgsh matters for the general good oi ail. Mr. Hoover, former prebident. and defeat, d as a candidate for reelection liy Mr. Roosevelt in 1932, mad.- what lie called the "strongest speech of his life" Wednesday evening from Chicago.

launched yesterday as hundreds of Hoosiers looked on. ft la now a part of the world's greatest navy and of the defense program for this nation. People of tbtoi elate are proud of the groat ship named for this great Commonwealth. -0— The joke seems to be on Preeldent Roosevelt. He planned to spend Thanksgiving Day at Warm Spring*, (la, but a head cold, John L le wls, the Japanese delegation and » few other matter* kept turn in Washington, so that plana have uow been made for him to go to Georgia on the old time Thank* giving Day. next Thursday.

Hl* business place soon became a popular one. where arguments were held daily, where wager* were made on elections and where plan* were made for many thing* to better the community.

Delaware ha* plates with changeable inserts for date*. Kentucky is considering a five-year license plate, and no on. By next year It's not Impossible that many other states will be considering plan* to save steel and money by new plicense plate device*. Another way to save would be to get the dangerous driver* off the streets entirely. — Anderson Bulletin. o — .... Defense ZN; Bond \gUIZ Q.
