People from Cedar Lake claim the big companies will harvest there another month if the ice lasts, and one Wednesday it was strong 17 inches thick. Occasionally a flock of wild ducks appear and drop down in the open channels and take a drink. Now that all the streams and lakes are frozen they have a hard time in wetting their whistles, but they go into Cedar Lake regardless of the many people on the ice. Point Star.

Chairman Lee Quits Race. Edwin M. Lee of Lawrencehurg, republican state chairman,, has retired from the race for re-election. Lee’s <rece«nt public utterance that Taft couldn’t carry Indiana, for which he has been roundly scored by the g. o. p. office-holders and standpatters generally, is the cause of his retirement. In his letter to the members of the state committee announcing his retirement, he says: “It is apparent that, through the use of patronage, the Taft administration will he .able to prevent my re-election as chairman of the republican sitate committee, for I have no patronage or pther resources at my command except the good will of the rank and file. I, therefore, withdraw as a candidate for chairman. This in no way changes ray opinion that Mr. Taft can not carry this state. My’ statement to that effect was made solely for the good of the party, and the evidence that has come t-o me from every county in the state, before an-d since, convinces me beyond all question that I was and am absolutely right.”
