THE PSALMIST
"Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless His Holy name. "2. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not His benefits:
"3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities who healeth all thy diseases "4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies "5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. "6. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
"8. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy."' 103d Psalm, verses 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.
Let all the voters of the country who did not vote the Democratic ticket in 1912, unite in opposition to that party. There is room in the United States for only two leading parties. With only one dominating political party, conditions would be abnormal. Let the Republicans and Progressives come together aind present a solid front in favor of principles upon which they can agree and unite. Let the old, offensive leaders of both factions take a back seat in the reorganization, and let new and harmonious young blood come to the front and lead to victory.
We are in favor of a genuine union of all the elements of the Republican party, and we believe it can be effected. We are confident that the Rank and File of the party is heartily in favor of such a union. There is no personal feeling or faction among the great body of Republican and Progressive voters. They are of the same political faith. They are ready to unite and vote together. The great obstacle to such a union is in the selfish ambitions of some leaders. If a union is not effected, selfish and ambitious leaders will prevent it.
The party which is to opr ose the Democratic party in the future is the Republican party. It is the second strongest party in the country. The Progressive party has suffered great loss at all the elections since November, 1912. Most of its votes in 1912 were cast by Republicans who voted the Progressive ticket as a rebuke to their own party. The vote was remarkable, and a few selfish and ambitious leaders, who had lost their influence in the Republican party, were flattered into the conclusion that they, had formed a permanent political party which was sure to come into control of public affairs in the states and nation. The recent elections have disclosed emphatically that they were mistaken. Those same selfish ,leadT ers, seeing that they are headed for political oblivion, are now engaged in a desperate struggle to rally the remnants of their scattered associates. They do not care for their country's good, nor their party's good, they are fighting for their own political existence. They are just like all past political soreheads of all parties.
THANKSGIVING
Nothing could be more fitting than that a people believing in and trusting God should give thanks to Him for the good things which they enjoy. Out of a prevailing sense of gratitude to the Great Giver of all good has come the custom of observing an annual Thanksgiving throughout the whole country. It is a very appropriate practice, and very becoming in a Christian people. With hearts overflowing with thanksgiving and gratitude for the comforts and blessings which they enjoy, the people are in proper frame of mind to remember their less fortunate fellowmen, and so Thanksgiving Day should be a season for deeds of charity and benevolence. Let every person who «t this season Is imbued with the
spirit of thankfulness, do some deed 4f benevolence on Thanksgiving 1

The December American Boy. Beneath the unusually attractive colored covers of the Christmas issue of "The American Boy" is contained a wealth of fiction, of fact, and of attractive illustrations that is certain to interest the active boy as it will inspire him. The fiftytwo large pages are crowded with good things.
Prominent among the excellent Christmas fiction is "The Lesson Jerry Learned," by Clarence B.Kelland: "How Santa Came to Cote Blanch," by Garrard Harris, and "The Tale of a Dog's Foot," by Rose Seelye-Miller, are other pleasing stories of Christmas. "The Open Trail," by Herbert Wyndham-Git-tens, is an animal story of unusual power. "Nix Ferstay," by Harold William Fiferlik, is packed with laughs. There are, besides, four other short stories of varied appeal. The second installment of "The Gaunt Gray Wolfe," appears in this issue. "The King of the Filibusters," by E. Alexander Powell, F. R. G. S., is a historical article of the most thrilling interest. Lieut. Walter S. Anderson, U. S. N.t tells the boys how to signal in his "Signalling for Boys." "Making Electricity Work" is the title of a new series of articles by Don Cameron Shafer that tell of the wonders of modern electricity in a form as practical as it is interesting.
The many departments and short articles appeal to a boy's every interest, and aid him in his important business of being a boy and developing into an able man. A boy you know wants a copy. $1.00 a year. Published by The Sprague Publishing Co., Detroit, Mich. dw (Advertisement)

It would be an easy task for all those who have occasion to give thanks, to remove to a large extent all sense of want and disappointment in the minds of the unfortunate and fill their hearts for the day with a feeling of kindness, gratitude and of Thanksgiving.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
These stamps or seals will not carry a letter or package, but they do carry a message of hope and life to many suffering men, women and children all over the country. The message reaches homes right here in Hancock county as a part of the funds thus raised are spent for the prevention of tuberculosis in the home county.
A small amount spent for these messengers of hope will not be missed by anyone and with every one buying a few the aggregate is sufficient to do a great deal of good to suffering humanity. When these seals are placed on sale, see to it that one or more clings to every letter and package that leaves your hands and thus help to give health and happiness to some man or woman or perhaps a little child.
Every class was supplied with a teacher at the beginning of Sunday school. Promptness on the part of teachers is one of the chief factors in making our Sunday school a success. The Blues added 5 more to their number, making a total of 126, the Reds adding 3, making their total 128. It is the closest campaign we have witnessed in a long time. Each side seems to be as determined as in the beginning, and it is anybody's victory until the final day. We are plannig to have a final Rally Day in this contest on Sunday, December 21st. The great ambition of every worker in the school is to reach the 200 mark, and if the weather will favor us on that day we are sure of that number and more. We have arranged to have some extra chairs next Sunday so we can accommodate all. Some had to be put in other classes Sunday, and some had to stand on account of being crowded out. Don't be afraid to come. We will accommodate all who have the inclination to be with us. We are not to our limit yet, and will not be until we get the church filled to its capacity and then we will put an addition to it and proceed to fill that, also. Watch us grow. Superintendent.
TWO BIG SUITS ABE VENUED HERE FROM MARION COUNTY
Tuesday two big suits were venued here from Marion county. In one Alberta Malone asks $25,000 damages of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company for alleged personal injuries. She alleges that a car on which she was -riding on East Michigan street, May 1, 1912 ran off the track and struck a tree. That she was thrown from her seat her hip broken and that she suffered internal injuries. The other suit was filed by George W. Benedict et al, against Charles S. Hernley et al, for $4,000 on contract..
GRAVEL ROAD BONDS EXEMPT
Authorities at Washington Give An Opinion on Indiana Inquiry.
Indiana gravel road bonds are exempt from taxation under the operation of the federal income law. This announcement was made following receipt of authentic information from the tre-tsury department at Washington, .0. C., says an Indianapolis dispatch.
Millions of dollars in these bonds are held throughout IndiaLa, it is said. Every county in Indiana has issued such bonds and in rvsibly every township in the :•*1 there is some investor owning xunds of this character.
While some held that these bonds were free from tax under the operation of the law, other bond lawyers here differed and investors were at a loss to know just how to handle their coupons.
Realizing the complexity of the situation and anxious to get authentic information, dealers conferred with Thomas M. Hon an, attorney general of this state. After some consideration a letter was sent to the attorney general at Washington, who in turn referred it to the treasury department for answer. The answer of the department follows in part: "In reply to your inquiry as to whether or not these bonds are the obligations of a political subdivision within the moaning of the income tax law and therefore free from the tax imposed by this law, you are advised that from the manner in which these bonds are issued, and the character of the assessment by means of which funds are provided for their payment, it is the opinion of this office that these bonds represent the exercise of the government function of a political subdivision of the state, and that, therefore, the income accruing to individuals or corporations owning such bonds is not taxable under the act cited."
DANGEROUS CATAARH STOPPED BY HYOMEI
Just as long as you have catarrh, your head will be stopped up, your nose will itch, your breath will be foul, you will hawk and sniffle, you will have droppings in the throat and that choked up feeling in the morning. The germs of catarrh have you in their power they are continually irritating the mucous membrane of your nose and throat.
If you do not kill the loathsome germs of catarrh, their desperate assaults will in time rob your brain of its brilliancy and activity, and leave you not only a physical, but a mental wreck.
There is one remedy sold by the druggists everywhere that is guaranteed to kill the germs and stop catarrh, or money back. It is Hyomei—no stomach, dosing—you just breathe it. There is none just as good, or that gives such quick, sure and effective relief. A complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler and bottle of liquid, costs $1.00. It is also guaranteed for bronchitis, husky voice, coughs, colds and for croup. Ask Early Drug Company about Hyomei. 26d3-w (Advertisement)
INTEREST ACCUMULATION COMMON SCHOOL FUND
Semi Annual Settlement Amounts To $277,364.26 Paid By Counties—To Be Redistributed.
The counties of Indiana will pay the state treasurer a total of $277,364.26 in interest on common school funds, held in trust by them, in the semi-annual settlement which was due to be made September 1st, Marion county pays in the largest amount, over $10,000. Hancock county pays $2,855.88. This money will be redistributed to the counties according to the school population of each county.
SUES FOR POSSESSION OF HER OWN CHILD
Margaret Bell has brought habeas corpus proceedings against Oscar and Mary Kidwell, to secure possession and custody of her daughter, Alberta, whom, she says, the defendants are holding illegally. The defendants live on West North street, this city, and the plaintiff says they claim that she gave them her child and that the claim is false. She alleges that they are not proper persons to have the custody of the child.
Another new case filed is by The Home Brewing Company vs. Mattie Patterson, administratrix of the estate of Charles Patterson, deceased. Suit on claim demand, $337.65.
The young lady from near Willow, who advertised a lost locket containing two pictures, please call at this office. The locket has been found. .!Sv 24d3-wl (Advertisement)
McINTYRE AND HEATH
Those who remember "The Ham Tree," which comes to the Murat theater, Indianapolis, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 1st, 2d and 3d, with a matinee on Wednesday, will tell you it has all the good qualities of musical entertainment, pleasant melodies, rollicking comedy and picturesque settings. During its career as a Klaw and Erlanger production, it led the fields of lively entertainment. That was five years ago.
Its revival by John Cort this time should yield its own reward for it brings back a musical play that was always enjoyable with the two black blossoms of laughter, Mclntyre and Heath, in their' original roles, one as a "chamber maid" in an Alabama stable, and the other a sure-enough minstrel man. From the time the Georgia Minstrels arrive at Magnolia Springs until they appear in the Nicklebocker Mansion on Fifth Ave., New York, Mclntyre and Heath as laugh producers are in a class all by themselves. How Alexandria Hamblestonian, from the livery stable, played by Mclntyre, was lured away to become a minstrel, and how he became stranded down in Florida, finally to get on his feet with the actor man when they impersonate a Rahajoni and Rajah to deceive the wealthy Mr. Nicklebocker, never fails to convulse the audience. The Ham Tree and the Egg Tree are glowingly described by the optimistic actor, while the former "chamber maid," chronically pessimistic, suffers the pangs of hunger. A new feature has been added this year—it is "Ebinezer," a trick mule. He is the real thing and knows his business. Indeed, so sprightly is the animal that when he comes onto the stage everybody but his trainer and the man who attempts to ride him, are very busy in their dressing rooms. It is doubtful if anyone can remain on Ebinezer's back if he seriously objects, which he very often does, to the delight of the audience.
It is said that John Cort has done much in his revision of this musical comedy this season in surrounding his stars with pretty chorus girls, chorus men, costumes that charm and music that pleases, and a notable cast, which includes Edward Wade, Arthur Barry, John Lorenz, Ted Holmes, Otto Johnson, George C. Youngman, Edward S. Holden, Norman Woodward, Mildred Beverly, Luly Wells and Mabel Elaine. dw (Advertisement)
