COUNTY’S ROAD FUND IN DECT _ • FOR SIOO,OOO Commissioners Seek to End Excessive Equipment Buying. Tlie county's free gravel road fund, from which all expenses of constructing and maintaining township roads are taken, is ovedrawn about SIOO,OOO, it was learned today. Records show the debt has been hanging over the county for some time, mounting to its present height ly the last few years. It was almost cleared in 1025, but jumped again last year. CouiTty Auditor Harry Dunn admits the debt is “almost sloo,ooo,'' but says it ‘‘was worse.” He also predicts that l>y next spring the entire debt will be sliced away and the free gravel road fund will show a ■tidy sum on the better side. Check Buying Word lias gone out in the offices of the county commissioners that a stop must be put to excessive buying of road materials and road construction machinery. According to Dunn the only machinery that will be bought for road work this year will be a tractor. While county officials are planning to cut down the debt, petitions are continually coining* in for more roads. Following a survey of about 100 miles of petitioned-for roadway, commissioners announced that as far as improving them was tconcerned “it couldn’t be done. This year the free gravel road fund will get about $210,000 from taxes. Three cents on each SIOO is turned into this fund. Dunn has estimated that with a strict economy program this $210,000 can be utilized not only in the yearly maintenance program but also in paying the debts. Under the new budget law, passed by tlie recent Legislature, it will be illegal for the county to permit such debts to mount. This law is effective next spring. In Debt 15 Years Dunn declared the fund has been iu debt for about fifteen years. Leo K. Fesler, county auditor who preceded Dunn and held office for eight years, was astounded at the admitted amount of the road fund debt. He said several times during his two terms the road fund was clear and had a balance on hand. He said only' once or twice the fund showed negative amounts.

By Kldora Field Who says smoking's harmful? Not the 9C-year-old philosopher, George A. Wilson, who celebrated his birthday Monday by smoking many big, black cigars. “Say, I began smoking when I was 12 or 13 years old," said this jolly old gentleman, known to his friends as “Dad.” “I’m in excellent health —my doctor says I'm a vender —and if about eighty-four years of blowing smoke rings has left me in this condition —well. Just how would I have been if 1 hadn’t smoked?” “Dad” asked, his eyes twinkling mep'ily. He Isn't Lonesome “It’s a good world, and it’s getting better every day,” he said. “It seems that way to me. Maybe It's because I've always been cheerful. Started trying to bo years and years ago because I think that helps other folks, and it’s got to be a habit.” The nurses and attendants at the Indiana Christian Hospital, where "Dad" makes his home, say they have never :• on Idm “out of sorts.” With every relative dead (“Dad” isn’t a father and his wife has been gone many years) tho old man might be expected to be lonesome.. "I should say I'm not,” he declares emphatically. “Why, I’ve a million

Communication with these we call ‘of tho other world.’ But I don’t refer to anything bordering upon spirtualism. I mean actual, scentific wireless tuning in to sound waves—maybe thought waves, that they will catch and understand. That is not far off, I'd bet—well, Cigars on it,” and “Dad” laughed and puffed meditatively. "Another thing I sit here and jffial Mg.vs.a.yinmvs cuiim.su iMj S3 Brownings 13 H 118 E. Wash.

Tlie young folks 'for instance —some think they’re worse than they used to be. Nothing of the sort. They're really not as wild as they used to be —I was a pretty wild youngster myself and I ought to know. The big difference is that they’re frank and open about it nowadays. That's best anyway.” “I'm not planning to be a 100,” the old man continued, “I’m just so blessed, everybody is so good to me —look at those birthday flowers and candy and cigars and the doctor who is my good friend and comes in every few hours and the nurses who take me walking and tho‘ friends who stop in and visit. No, I’m not planning to be a 100—I'm just sittin’ here happy and planning to be a 110!” —and the old man laughed heartily. “The Bargain Corner of Indianapolis” TflantetoT Cor.
