Probably 110 President ever asfumed the responsibilities of the Chief Executive of the Nation with more well wishers than Woodrow Wilson does.

The Indiana Legislature has adjourned. It passed some good laws, some bad ones, and failed to pass a number of laws which should have been enacted.

Just how the people can get all that they are demanding and expecting of the State and National government and not greatly increase the burden of taxation, is hard to understand. There is a strong tendency to constantly ask more of the government. The main source of revenue to the state government is by taxation, and this has to come from the people. The people can no more impose upon or cheat the government than they can cheat themselves. They have to pay the public expense. If they do not want a heavy tax burden, they must not ask the public advantages that cost large amounts of money. It is easy to figure out that it is true economy to build fine roads, public buildings and increase educational facilities, but there is a point in public expense beyond which the people can not go. The people could not afford to pave every street in our city. They could not afford to macadamize every road in our county. Nor could they provide a college course with competent instructors in every township. Still it would be a good thing to have such advantages, and if they could be realized without expense or could be secured so gradually that the people could pay for them without being burdened by taxes. Public expenses must be paid by the people. The only way to cut down taxation is to cut down expense.

WITH SCREW DOOR VAULT:

SIGN OF SPRING

Late each winter, or about this time each year, someone bobbs up with a sure sign of Spring. They will tell you to just observe such and such a thing and when it is so-and-so you can depend on it that the good old Springtime is upon us. Yes, no doubt you, like many others, are thproughly disgusted and have been sorely disappointed, losing much valuable time and possibly money, depending on some of these "dead sure" signs of Spring. If you have resolved never to depend on another sign, and inclined to feel a little sore, politely and cheerfully banish all this from your muddled brain and remember that all is not lost. Here is a sign that has stood (he acid test. Here is the one sign that has never failed. Here is the sign that a number of men (possibly a few women right here in Hancock County) with a tinge of sporting blood in their veins, will bet their last red cent or that new nickel that it will always prove out. It is the sign of the Wall Paper. Whenever you see men, women and children going home from the store with a huge bundle of wall paper, you then and there know that Spring is here. Ask any of these men, women or children what is doing, and they will promptly inform you that they have just made the best buy in wall paper you ever heard about. They will also tell you that you can buy regular six, eight and ten-cent wall paper for four cents at J. C. Foster's and that he is selling his finest papers, including varnished gilts, regularly sold at eighteen, twenty and twenty-two cents for seven cents. This sign never faijp. dw

Young Farmer Purchases New Machine, Consisting of an Engine, Separator and Gang Plows

Charles Hutchinson, a young and prosperous farmer living southwest of this city, has purchased a new International Harvester Machine, which consists of an engine, separator and gang plows. This machine can be used for the threshing of wheat, plowing, and in fact much of the work to be done on a farm can be accomplished by the use of this machine.

Mr. Hutchinson has not yet given his machine a trial, as the weather has been very unsettled, but he is much pleased with it as it presents a fine appearance.

Mr. Grandstaff always attends the State and National Conventions of Photographers, and last year was among the prize winners at the state convention where he had a fine exhibit of fine work which attracted much attention and favorable comment.

He is in a position to do the very best work in his line, and cordially invites the people of Greenfield and Hancock county to visit his studio and inspect his exhibits. He assures them that all of his work will be of a very high order, and must be satisfactory. He will make appointments with all patrons at any time and will spare no pains nor trouble to produce the most desirable artistic results.
