VIRGIL DECKER, too, seems to have acquired the habit of substituting confessions to suit the occasion! GOVERNOR STCRAY doubtless wonders if the State of Indiana is the only source of jobs at the present time! PERHAPS “normalcy” has been waiting for the calling of that special session before returning under the new administration! THE RAINWATER spout that brought two women into police court is somewhat different from the spouts that used to have the fame effect. HAVING RELEASED his book just at a time Germany is called upon to pay restitution, the former Kaiser is again sawing wood. His propaganda work completed, he is content CARL BERNATJER is reported to have testified at Shelbyville that he has used drugs ever since he was 14 years old. Was that one reason why Judge Collide showed him the favor of keeping him out of the State reformatory?

Gipsy Smith The whole city of Indianapolis is indebted to Gipsy Smith for the revival of interest in affairs worth while which his coming has brought about Primarily, It may be granted, his evengelical effort is along religious lines. In reality it has extended to commercial and governmental lines and it now seems that the extent to which he is able to put new life and greater activity into the community will be measured only by the length of his stay in the city. Commercially Indianapolis, could well afford to keep Gipsy Smith In the community. He is a ‘'high pressure salesman" of the best type and it is not sacrilegious to say that £e is “selling” the gospel to the people of Indianapolis provided only that one eliminate the foolish and extraneous thoughts that the word “selling" sometimes provokes. Gipsy Smith is explaining the right way to live to this community lu much the same way that a highly trained salesman explains the merits of his wares to a careful purchaser. He Is holding forth no false pretenses of advanges in living a religious life. He Is making no promises that he knows cannot be fulfilled. He is not painting the road to righteousness as a flowery path in which lurk no thorns. The evangelist’s appeal is more to the common sense of his hearers their emotions. It is made not without a fine knowledge of psychology that makes it a masterly plea. Conducted just between the boundaries of sensationalism and dry theology, his meetings are well fitted to the mold of this community. Already, Gipsy Smith has exerted a mighty good influence on Indianapolis. He has aroused the religious Instincts of the people of this community as they needed to be aroused and in so doing he has planted a spirit that is being felt in business circles and in governmental affairs. Perhaps it would be impossible to give him the same opportunity to do commercially and In civic affairs what he has been doing In the religious affairs of the city, but if it were possible Indianapolis would profit rapidly f-om his efforts. However, no community can advance In its religious side without improvement in its civic and commercial sides. Gipsy Smith ha3 benefited the community In one and from that benefit all will gain.

Ford's Foolishness About, the crudest piece of editing since the days of active German propaganda fias been the attack on Jews by Henry Ford in the Dearborn Independent, his newspaper. It is in keeping with the old country agitation In Austria and Germany by Anti-Semitic societies seeking to stir up riots and hatred. In contrast the chief of police at St. Louis who recently stopped the sale of Ford s paper on the ground that the publication disturbed the peace and contributed to the defamation of a class of persons was certainly “on to his job.” The time of preaching race or class hatred is over, at least in America. Besides just now, with everything so unsettled, it is no place to renew any kind of warfare on~a class of citizens, provided they are law-abiding. To be a Jew hater in these days reflects no honor nor use in a community. The Hebpew citizen performs his part as a citizen and abides by the laws of the land and there should be no attack on him because of his race or attempt should be made to stir up any feeling against him. What is to be gained by Henry Ford's attacks Is not known. The constitutional right to worship as he pleases will continue to the Jew as well as the Gentile. The Hebrew will not be influenced by the bitter assaults against his religion. There may arise a little persecution htere and there but that will soon die out. It is surprising that I'ord would go out of his way to fill a paper with such matter. 1 * Dogs The will of a Chatham (N. J.) man, providing tfiat his dogs shall not be sold nor given away, but shall be given a “humane death,” calls to mind the bond between man and dogs—closer than any other attachment in the animal kingdom and rivaled only by the love for a horse. The woman who kissed her cow and insisted every one should have his own love in freedom is excluded from consideration In passing it may be added that the New Jersey will left a fortune to the American Red Cross, so the presumption may arise that there were no near relatives. A search of the law records, seeking to contest the will, should later develop the fact as to whether or not the maker did have near kin. • As the country has developed, as life is made easier, the need of the dog has diminished, but the regard has arisen. It has become a pet rather than a thing to use, excepting on farms, or as a watcher. Still it is man's best friend, in frffluence or poverty. In London there exists a cemetery for dogs, with marble markers and with loving inscriptions from masters. It contrasts strongly in that seething cauldron, where individuals are swallowed up and forgotten over night and where many a human being goes to an unmarked grave, but such is humanity. It must be admitted, however, that the dog is always faithful and always does his part as he sees it The Headache The position of. some of our allies regarding repayment of the war debt to the United States is unique. First It was very delicately and diplomatically suggested that the amount be forgotten. This did not take well so it was urged that it be canceled by some manipulation of England's finances. This did not go either. Then a Paris paper sets up a counter claim for money alleged to be due France for aW in the Revolutionary War and for the. purchase of Louisiana. The whole matter reminds one of the attempts to evade payment of private debts. Every possible shift is made, then a counter claim Is set up and finally poverty is pleaded. The records of the United States do not disclose that the United States has been indebted to France for any of the items claimed —in fact they were long since discharged, and it is very certain that had they been owing, settlement would have been requested enforced years ago. Old world nations are not backward in ol' funds owing, at any time. r V > '%S P art of the entire matter, if there be a funnv part in the is tnat nations which won so glorious a victory should r beaus, as it were, to pay the fiddler. It reminds one of certain prohibited articles—it may be fun while headache next day is very vexatious. j

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hookers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the condition* of the high cost of living ! with them.) WKDXKSDA^. When the plumber had departed and 1 the luncheon dishes were out or the way I Mrs. Hooper spent the remainder of the j afternoon finishing the Ironing and doing seme of the mending. I “What in the world is that you are i making mother?" asked Helen ns Mrs. | Hooper eet down her work to take her cup of tea. "That !* the new rover for my ironing board,” her mother replied, “and as soon as I put on three or four strong *naps we will slip it on before the board is hung away in the laundry." For a long time Mrs. Hooper had been keeping the white covering on her Ironing board clean by wrapping it in pieces of heavy paper cut and pasted and fitted to serve the purpose, but when slie was In town on Monday she ran upon a remnant of denim for twenty cents out of which she had Just fashioned a substantial cover that would wear forever almost and keep her ironing sheet beautifully clean ull the time. "And you and father can press your trousers right on this dark cover now,” she #dded, turning to Koger, "without getting my white sheet soiled as you have so often done in the past.” it was long past midnight when Mrs. HoopfW was awakened by much noise and confusion lu the street, followed by a cay of "Fire! Fire!” A strong smell or smoke also filled the room, and for a moment she thought the house was on fire. Awakening Henry as she threw on her kimono, she called Roger and Helen aud carried Baby Betty wrapped in a tUgnket from her crib. By this time Henry had discovered that it was the home of their neighbor next door that was burning, and that already the roof was blazing fiercely. The wooden frame house burned like tinder and was beyond saving before the lire department arrived from the town. Firing embers settled on the roof of the Hooper house and in spite of the efforts of Henry and his neighbors to extinguish the blaze a large hole was burned in the shingles before it was put out by the firemen. The neighbor ahd his wife and two children were given shelter with the Hoopers for the remainder of the night, though they planned to go to the home of a cousin later in the day. They were in a pitiable plight, not even having saved their wearing apparel, and as Mrs. Hooper dressed a long cut on the hand of th^ father of the family, he told her In 'a terrified whisper that niey were ruined becadse he bad no Insurance. "Oh, but Mr. Brown," said Mrs. Hooper, as she wound the long white bandage, extracted from her emergency hospital kit, *yon ought never to hnve neglected tbat.” / “Well, 1 thought I couldn’t afford it on a SSO a week salary so I Just took a chapee.” answered the man disconslately. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am—l hope yon are taking no such chance on your life and that you carry some kind of insurance for the sake of your family." “How can I?” Inquired the man helplessly. “You must talk to Henry about It,” said Mrs. Hooper soothingly. “He feels u U I4 must manage insurance

The first thing we did was to build an adequate cash balance. Notice our “cash on hand” $815,238.00 Then, look at our “Liberty Bonds and United States Certificates of Indebtedness,” $637,525.97.
