TIje public mind is in an intense Estate of expectancy as -to 'politics. What is going to be done or to happen is the question.

A few years ago thieves annoyed the people of Greenfield by breaking into houses every few weeks. They became very bold and seemed •to almost defy the officers. After Lon Low and Bert Parish made a few revolver crusades at everything that looked suspicious after night, the stealing stopped. It 'seems to have started up again and we would recommend that a similar crusade be made by the present night police before the people suffer from the outrages which they endured a few years ago. We suggest that the thieves be given to understand that they will be captured even if it is necessary to shoot them in doing so. Lon Low convinced them that: if they fcept up their work'while he was night policeman there would be sorriething doing, and some one |that would go out of business for good.

That is just what such thieves have to know to cause them to quit business.

She's a Mortgage Lifter. Says the Morristown Suh: 0. S. Junkens, one of the most prosperous farmers in this community and a lucky hog raiser, has a sow that has raised for him 17 litters of pigs, averaging 8 to the litter. He has sold 136 of this sow's pigs'for'$2,040, or .getting from $12 to $21 per head. This is a Poland China sow, and is now at home with 8 nice sleek little fellows. Oliver has three brood sows saved from this record breaking mother that he .values at $75. Now7, what do you think of that? Oliver has bought two automobiles and wre know that sow paid for them. She has paid for more than 10 acres of Oliver's land, which is worth $200 an acre.

That sow has been a mortgage lifter and she could buy anything from a car load of toys to a thrashing machine.

The New Sporting Annual. The best little sporting reference book of the year is the '•Police Gazette'Sporting Annual" for 1913, published by the Richard K. Fox Publishing Company. It is a compendium of best performances in all branches of sports ably compiled and edited by Sam C. Austin, the well known sporting writer and critic. The athletic records are the records of the Amateur Athletic Union, and officially accepted by that organization the rowing, yacht ing, racing, trotting, pacing, automobile, hockey, football, aeroplane and swimming records, made all oiver the world, are officially correct. The baseball statistics were furnished by the National Baseball Commission, and include the details of the world's championship series.

The main feature of the book, however, is the pugilistic records, and. includes the history of every boxer of prominence in the world. This splendid book is made doubly attractive by its high-class illustrations and photos of the champions. It is authentic and reliable, and it stands today an authority on the subject upon which it treats. The price is ten cents postage, two cents extra.

Hancock Farmers Not Only Losers Holding On Much Later Than Usual—Reported Worse in Southern Part.

Hancock county farmers are not the only losers from hog cholera. It is reported from a majority of the counties of the state, and in some places it has been even more epidemic and deadly than here. In different places farmers have lost entire herds, not being able to save enough for meat. In this county it was epidemic early in the fall, but seemed to die out. Later, however, it was reported again from different parts of the county, and has continued to be epidemic in some localities, notwithstanding the lateness of the season.

It seems that lately the, disease has been the worst in the southern part of the county, although no part has entirely escaped.

ABOUT KANSAS

Here are some statements of: the effect of prohibition in Kansas, as reported the Attorney General of the State, which should surely be given the widest possible publicity. They need neither note nor comment:

Five hundred and sixteen thousand children in the public schools of Kansas never saw an open saloon in the state,

More th^n one-half the county jails are emptj.% Sixty-five of the one hundred.and five counties of the state have no inmates in the state penal institutions.

Many counties have not had a jury to try a criminal case in ten years.

Eighty-seVen counties have no insane. Fifty-four counties have no fee-ble-minded.

Ninety-six counties have no inebriates. Twenty-nine counties have not a single inmate on their poor farms.

Kansas is the second richest state in the Union its average wealth per capita is $1,700.

Kansas has a death rate of seven and one-half per thousand —the lowest in the world.

Less than ten of the 786 newspapers in the state accept liquor advertisements.

Is it therefore any wonder that thought "Kansits is the dryest dry state, prohibition sentiment is much stronger than at any time in her history?" —Cyrus J. Ivephayt.

Teachers' Association Elects. The Indiana State Teachers' Association, which has been in session at Indianapolis, elected the following officers for 1913:

President —A. O. Neal, superintendent of Ivokomo schools. Sec.-Treas.—J. B. Pearcy, of Anderson, renominated.

'The Daughter of Heaven" Heretofore theater goers have measured the worth of a spectacular production on the basis afforded by the famous "Ben Hur." Now, however, a new standard has been set. "The Daughter of Heaven," a spectacular drama, makes its appearance at English's during the week beginning January 20th, and theater gioers will see in it a production that is greater, bigger, more elaborate in every respect than any production ever before $fet upon the stage.

The play details an interesting and absorbing story of the romance between a Chinese Emperor and a Chinese Empress, and the scenic settings in which this beautiful story moves forward are the. most magnificent ever designed.. The production comes to English's direct from its long and" successful' engagement in the Century theater. New York City, and the two hundred players who take part in the piece are the same that played it when the curtain was raised on the first night's performance. Viola Allen heads the cast, appearing in the role of a Chinese Empress of the Ming dynasty.

The authors of "The Daughter of Heaven" are those two eminent French writers, Pierre Loti, soldier, member of the French Academy and. of the Legion of Honor^ and Judith Gautier, the distinguished authority on Chinese literature.

Arrangements .for obtaining seatsshould be made. wrell in advance.

Many Xmas Trees Used. The use of Christmas trees in th& homes is becoming more general and common each year. Therewere hundreds of homes in Greenfield and Hancock county decorated with them this year.

The origin of the Christmas tree is enshrouded in' that peripd of world history when facts 'were handed down chiefly by word of mouth and all the beautiful mystery of tradition clings about it, says an exchange. Somewhere near a thousand years after the Christ child came, there drifted into Europe a. wonderful story from the Holy Land. How it came no one knows authentically. But when it came it adapted itself to the ceremonies already in existence, and of the union grew the Christmas tree.
