LONG TRAINING has made it possible for Harry New to see “good qualities” in any bi-partisan political crook who still has a vote! THE NEWS-JEWETT combination is beginning to realize that it will require more than its own votes in order to name the next mayor. AN ADMINISTRATION that Increased expenses nearly four million dollars a year can hardly expect low bids on its municipal work. Why should contractors be bashful? AUDITOR FESLER'S FIGURES on the costs of various county offices are Illuminating but why do you suppose he neglected to include the office of his friend. Treasurer Lemcke? A DISPATCH from Cairo, 111., says the town was named from the Egyptian city because it was thought the site was similar. It is not the cummer heat, as has been so often suggested, that is similar to Egypt. THE AMERICAN WIFE of Count von Bernstorff is now suing for her million dollars which the government took in charge during the war. If this was the money of the count, which it legally may be in Germany, but not in the United States, it might be applied as damages to some of those American industries blown up before the war. The Mayor and Bush The Times presented to its readers in its late editions yesterday the text and today a reproduction of a memoranda of a call alleged to have been made at the office of the Governor of Indiana by Mayor Charles W. Jewett. The text of this memoranda, which has been repudiated by Mayor Jewett, indicates that he called at the Statehouse to inform Governor Goodrich that he sanctioned and urged the parole of Dennis J. Bush, a notorious crook, from the State Penal Farm. The existence of the memoranda and the denial of the mayor of its text make it necessary to examine into the circumstances before the truth can be established. This memoranda was accepted at its face value by Governor Goodrich, who included it in his files of the Bush matter. It was written in the office of the Governor on the stationery used there and its authenticity was never before questioned. It migh easily have represented a call at the Governor’s office any time between Dec. 20, 1920, and Jan. 10, 1921, hence the assertion of the mayor that he was out of the city when the matter was being considered Is of no value. The memoranda, conveying the information that Jewett sanctioned and urged the release of Bush undoubtedly told the truth for no one in Indiana has more reason to wish Bush favored than Mayor Jewett. Consequently, we have the spectacle of a United States Senator, a mayor, an ex-prosecutor and a host of other county officials pleading for the release of a crook who was indicted twenty times, granted immunity in two courts and convicted only once. We have the spectacle of all these officials, sworn to uphold the law, pleading that the chief crook of a gang of conspirators be released from the only punishment that has been assessed against him in spite of his open admission of defrauding the city, his admission of guilt of the charge of which he was convicted and his open boasts of participation in the perpetration of other crimes! There must be a reason behind all this, as in truth there is. There doubtless are citizens who have for honest reasons sought to relieve Bush from his sentence, but the same cannot be said of the officials who were cognizant of his wrongdoing. Nor Is it consistent for the city of Indianapolis now to attempt to hold the banks which were depositories of city funds responsible for the money that was paid out through frauds which Bush admits perpetrating! The real te3t of whether the memoranda which Mayor Jewett repudiates is false or valid lies in the present attitude of Mayor Jewett. Is he now willing to go before the pardon board and declare publicly that he is not in sympathy with the plea for leniency of a crook who has admitted defrauding the •’lty, or Is he like Senator New, able to see “good qualities” in the crook which entitle him to release from the merest form of punishment? Joys of Bartholomew The place to go to be a farmer is in Bartholomew County, So many things may be said of the county that only a few need be mentioned to show that it is the ideal place to get a farm and settle down into tranquillity. This county contains Nineveh Township, where girls are superior corn raisers and where even the hens are superior egg layers, and all take prizes. Then other attractions abound. It is just announcd that the county agricultural agent, C. M. .’ob, has plans for obtaining and showing in the various townships films having an educational value to farmers. So one may work all day, step into his auto, and in a few minutes be assured of two things. He will see a picture of some educational value, and he may also be delighted with a selected comedy or drama, all brought to his very door like a paper delivered in the mail. Where else can ho be promised such a perfect end of a day? Os course censored plays will be thrown upon the screen and when the tired farmer leaves it will be with a feeling of edification and a satisfaction that his time has not been spent in vain. The county agent will not secure any foolish custard pie throwing contests but spend one or two days a week looking over the pictures in this city, so as to familiarize himself with the latest and best —for the responsibility of doing the thing right rests with him. It Is claimed that the flow of milk may be increased by placing a phonograph where the cattle hear it at meals. This will, beyond doubt, be done in Nineveh township soon so that a milk giving record or two may be broken. The county agent may be required to bring back from Indianapolis a grip full of suitable records which would be adoptable for milk increasing. In such case he should be granted a day longer in the city each week hearing and Judging the latest Jazz and the popular musical productions. If people in town only knew some of the Joys of country life there would be a great exodus to Bartholomew County. Lost Treasures The charm of hunting treasure, is so alluring, that It is no wonder so many efforts are being made to recover ships lost at sea, in the late war or Indeed generations ago. The hunt for Captain Kidd’s ill-gotten gold is a never ending source of entertainment; pirates' hoards are In demand no matter how mythical; fortunes in old estates create considerable interest even now, while the lure of striking oil or finding covered riches in the earth is never ending. In England the temptation to seek recovery of lost ships is strongest. At the mouth of the Thames River —this is the stream which passes through London —is a great shallow deposit known as Goodwin Sands. This is caused by the wash of the river, Just as our bars accumulate at almost all rivers. On this bar covered by the sea, but very shallow, hundreds of ships have been stranded, in the centuries which witnessed the shipping* increase to all parts of the world. It is called the graveyard of the North Sea. Now It is Intended to form a company—a company is always formed—, and to recover the treasure in those ships, in material and gold, in a manner as novel as new. The purpose is to float out a concrete tower or hollow tube, then to set it on the saitd, obtain a foundation by letting it settle and then build on it until it is well above water. After the tower is permanent —subject of course to overcoming the usual engineering difficulties—tunaels will be built from the base, in various directions, air will thereby be supplied to the workers, proper pumps and other machinery can be introduced and riches beyond the dream of avarice will be recovered. All of this may not work as anticipated, but the vision is there and until the bubble bursts its charm is held. Why should England go to the South Sea islands in the Pacific to hunt for riches when it can, through modern science, look at home?'

In this way they arrive at the conclusion that In the fiscal year 1920 approximately 1,40!),000,000 pounds of candy were consumed, valued roughly at $1,200,000,000. EARTHQUAKES IN THE WEST. Q. Why are earthquake* more frequent in the western than in the eastern part of the United States. A.

The rock strata In that section have 1 been broken and faulted. Stresses and j strains set up In the earth are more j readily transformed to movement there ; than in the eastern part where tho strata i are more continuous.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CXLII. “You’ve found her!” murmured Terry in a voice that crumpled a little around the edges. But the crumpled voice righted Itself into a clear, quiet tone that clamped the lid down on the boyish shout Terry probably wanted to give. "Come on—let's go to hex. She’s all right, you say? Great! Wonderful! You found her, little sister Anne. I knew I could count on you. Where is she| Why did she ruii away? Does she want to see me? She's all right, you say.” “Where'd you blow from, Terry, old son?” broke in .Tim’s voice, Jovially; for Jim never gets so deeply absorbed in himself that be cannot respond to the sheer, big, fine loveableness of Terry Winston. “A late train from Washington,” replied Terry. “When I couldn’t find you, I tried the Sturges girl and Tony and

OST automobile manufacturers are saying that prices on autoJOi m °biles can't go any lower. It will take some time, perhaps a year, for the factories to swing again into economical production. Automobiles have not advanced in price with practically every other commodity. No radical price reductions, therefore can be expected. With the good spring driving days just ahead the demand for cars is jumping. A shortage is possible by May. Right now there are being only twenty cars manufactured for every twenty-five that are sold. Buy your automobile now. You will be able to secure the car of your first choice. So many people usually buy what they can get and not what they want due to a shortage. If you are one of the million car owners in the country due to buy anew car this year, it will be to your advantage to do so at once. If you haven’t a car buy according to your means and use it according to your needs. No one who has owned an automobile would want to get along without one. , Trade Association

Vee. But this seemed every one’s night out. So—on the off chance that you'd blow in for a bit of sleep, I camped down here. May I come up and hear about Betty ?” “Up you go, lad,” said Jim with the warm, sweet smile that wins him the love other men have to work for. - Terry fidgeted his way into the elevator and across our living room. I kept thinking what a lot of good it would So him to throw up his cap with a wild hurrah or two, for no teakettle would be expected to stay serene with its spout corked up. Still Terry managed, somehow, without letting off steam. “Tell me,” he said In a voice so low and tense that I only knew what he said because I knew he'd say it. I gave him Betty's note. His eyes galloped over it —then slowed down and reread it. “You might tel] me,” said Jim with

sudden interest as he lighted a cigarette and offered Terry the same service. Terry shook his head, looked at me for permission and read Betty’s note aloud. Then he tucked It into his blohse. I could have hugged him for % the quiet way he took possession of it. “Now the rest of the story, please, little sister,” he said quietly. So I explained to him how Virginia had sent for Anthony Norreys, and how he had stimulated my memory by questioning Virginia about where she first met Betty., Then T told of my recollection of my own first meeting with Betty at our honeymoon inn, of Miss Moss, and how through her we had traced Betty to Greyfriars Hal.. —Copyright, 1921.

The Department of Agriculture says that alfalfa is remarkably adaptable to various climates and conditions, but that a deep, fertile, well-drained soil rich in lime and reasonably free from weeds is necessary.

HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, but do.not compel!” SUNDAY, FSB. 87. This should be a very Tortunate day, since astrologers sea the best auguries In the aspects of Jupiter and Mercury, both of which are In a strongly benefle aspect. It Is a favorable rule for the clergy, who should find that their sermons fall upon receptive ears. Churches are to exercise more civic and political influence than ever before during the next ten months. Notable marriages are to take place after Easter but the number of weddings will fall off later. Persons whose birthdate it la have the most favorable forecast for the year. Business and money will increase. A tendency to useless worry should be overcome. Children born on this day will be alert, talented and able to command success. —Copyright, 1921. MONDAY, FEB. 28. Astrologers read this as a doubtful and

threatening day. Although Saturn rules strongly for good in the early hours, Mars and Neptune are both menacing. All the signs seem to encourage the prevalence of reactionary Ideas in all Important affairs, political, social and even educational. Education will nave a great Impetus In 1921, but there may be trouble In obtaining generous appropriations. This drawback may cause serious injustice to children in many American cities. Persons whose birthdate it is may fimA It necessary to stick closely to and the practical problems of life, but they should be successful if they avoid litigation. Children born on this day will be reliable and persevering, but they may have to work hard to gain a competence.— Copyright, 1921. THE “CACHUCHA" DANCE. Q. Is the “cachucha” the name of a certain type of dance? D. V. W. A, This is an Andalusian dance of much grace. Its origin is unknown. It is written in 3-4 time and resembles the bolero. The cachucha Is usually danced with castanets.
