Probably no President ever assumed the responsibilities of the Chief Executive of the Nation with more well wishers than Woodrow Wilson does.

Notice to Delinquent Subscribers All persons who are delinquent on their subscriptions are requested to call at this office at once and settle, as we are in need of all money due us. Spencer Publishing Co.

William H. Taft has retired from the Presidency without the appearance of any soreness or resentment, notwithstanding he sustained an overwhelming defeat at the polls. He went out of office with the best wishes for his successor.

Vice-President Marshall said some good things in his speech at Washington on inauguration day. He said: "May one humble American express the hope, before he enters upon a four years' silence, that all our diplomacy may spell peace with all peoples, justice for all governments, and righteousness the world around.1'

We are not so blindly partisan that we will not wish the rfew President, Woodrow Wilson, success in his administration of the affairs of the United States. No interest we may have in any party organization is so great that wre would like to see a business panic sweep over the country.

When the present Indiana Legislature adjourns it will be found that it has been an expensive session to J,he taxpayers of the state. It is easy to talk economy in public affairs, but it is another thing to practice .it. The effort to get the public money is a persistent one, and is a force that is hard to overcome. Then there is another thing that officials have to be educated to, and that is that the public business, should be done on the same economic basis that private business is done.

The inaugural address of the new President Woodrow Wilson is a model and contains many good things. It is clearly manifest that he seeks to serve the people in the very best possible way, but seeking to do the right arid knowing the right is only a part of a national administration. To be able to secure wrhat he knows to be right is a very difficult proposition. There are strong, conflicting influences to be harmonized, and no matter how much a President may desire a thing that is right, there are often opposing interests which can not be overcome.

The new President of the United States closed his inaugural speech with the following impressive words: "This is not a day of triumph it is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us men's lives hang in the balance men's hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? I summon all ^honest men, all patriotic,' all forward looking men, to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain me!"

The responsibility of properly caring for children rests on the parents, and if such parents fail to do so, courts do not hesitate to take from such parents the custody of their children. A case came up before Judge Taylor of the Juvenile Court at Indianapolis Friday, and in spite of the protest and tears of a mother, gave the custody of her child to a man and woman who had been caring for it. At first thought it seems cruel to take a child from its parents, but every parent of a •child owes the proper care ^nd protection, and when he does' not do for his child what she should, the law must come in and protect

.Isaac Foos, of Morgan county, has rented the 40-acre farm of John Clayton, northwest of the city.

C. W. Moncrief, north of this city, has purchased an "Economy Chief' cream separator of a Chicago firm. He is well pleased with the machine.

STATE OF INDIANA, HANCOCK COUNTY, ss: In the Hancock Circuit Court, February Term, 1913.

In the Matter of the Petition for a Drain by Orlando M. Eastes, et al. No. 12653.

Notice of Filing and Docketing Petition. To William E. Inlow:

You are hereby notified that we, the undersigned, have filed in the office of the Clerk of the Hancock Circuit Court of said Hancock County, a petition asking for the construction of a certain ditch, being in the townships of Buck Creek and Sugar Creek, in the county and State aforesaid, and located and described as follows, to-wit:

Commencing in the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section thirty-three (33), township sixteen (16) north, range six (6) east, at a point about forty (40) rods west and forty (40) rods north of the southeast corner of said southwest quarter of said northwest quarter of said section thirtythree (33) thence in a southeasterly direction to the said southeast corner of said southwest quarter of said northwest quarter of said section thirty-three (33) thence along the south line of the east half of the northwest quarter of said section thiriy-three (33) for a distance of about forty (40) rods thence south and eastward across the east half of the southwest quarter of said section thirty-three (33) for a distance of about one hundred fifty (150 rods to a point on the public highway dividing said section thirty-three (33) into an east and west half about thirty (30) rods north of the southeast corner of the southwest quarter of said section thirty-three (33) thence across said highway and in an easterly direction for a distance of about forty (40) rods thence in a southerly direction for a distance of about forty (40) rods crossing the highway upon the boundary line between the townships of Buck Creek and Sugar Creek at a point about sixty (60) rods east of the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of said section thirty-three (33) thence in a southeasterly direction for a distance of about fifteen (15) rods, crossing the highway running north and south in Sugar Creek Township between the National Road and the north line of section ^our (4) in Township fifteen (15) north, range six (6) east thence east a distance of about five (5) rods and emptying into a natural water course.

Said proposed drain following as nearly as practicable the course of an open ditch along the route above described from the point above described as the mouth of said ditch, where the same ends in a natural water course, to the point where the said ditch as above described crosses the highway which divides section thirty-three (33) township (16) north, range six (6) east, into an east and west half. Said petition alleges that from said point last described, along the course of the proposed drain as above described to the point of beginning of said proposed drain, as above described, there is now a covered tile ditch that said tile are too small for the drainage of the land above described and that the drainage of said lands by the aforesaid private tile ditch is wholly inadequate and insufficient that said tile are not properly laid and do not have a proper grade for the efficient drainage of any of the lands above described.

That said tile should be taken up and tile of proper size and dimensions should be laid along the course as above described, using said old tile, as far as may be practicable, in the construction of the drain herein proposed.

That said petitioners believe that said proposed drain can be accomplished in the best and cheapest manner by the construction of a ditch of sufficient depth to drain successfully all of the above described real estate and public highways, and by laying tile of sufficient size and dimensions therein, and by covering the same, and by using the old tile in a portion of said ditch as hereinbefore set out.

Said petition alleges that real estate owned by you and described in said petition, will be affected by sai4 proposed drainage.

You are hereby notified that said
