CAUSE AND EFFECT

We note that Mike Duffy has been explaining to the Indianapolis Star that the trouble with prices is that the .Federal Reserve bank refused to extend credit to the farmers to enable them to make a profit. What the Federal Reserve bank claims it did was that when the expansion of loans had reached the point where the gold reserve had almost been reached, it suggested to the bankers that the first loans to be called should be those of a speculative nature. We believe almost any farmer in the country will agree that between loaning money to the grain elevators to handle the agricultural crops and to speculators in sugar, or to buying luxuries, such as a new automobile because the old one looked shabby, that the farmers should have the money. It is true, however, that fanners who were determined to have $2.00 for corn were speculating. Just as much as the sugar men, and that they were causing just as much of the money shortage as the sugar speculators. Both could have sold at a great profit, but they re fused to do so. The sugar .men seem to have taken their loss and let it go at that, but the farmers have not. In view of the fact that the first break in prices occurred within a few days after the Maine election indicated a Republican victory, and completely collapsed when the November returns confirmed it, the real

reason for the present prices Is that exporters quit buying because the new administration offered no hope of saving the treaty and opening the European market# to our grain and cotton. Mr. Duffy ought to understand by this time that the losses he is complaining of are the price he is paying for fighting the league of nations and voting to isolate the United States from co-operation with the rest of the world, and he ought to take his medicine without making up such a face about it. —Benton Review.

A LARGE INCREASE IS NOTED

300,226 State Licenses for Passenger Automobiles in 1920. The automobile department of the secretary of state’s office has issued in the year 300,226 licenses for passenger cars, 32,481 for trucks and 8,823 licenses for motorcycles. There was no separation of automobiles and trucks last year, but the total number for trucks and autos for this year exceeds the numbej' of 1919 licenses by 55,452. As in last year’s report, the licenses for motorcycles show a decrease, 1920 licenses being 173 fewer than the previous year. Chauffeurs’ licensee for 1919 totaled 6,410. This year 9,758 have been issued, an increase of 3,348 for 1920. The total receipts for the year are approximately $2,029,740; an increase of $471,000 over the 1919 receipts. H. D. McClelland, superintendent of the department said that only 300,000 plates had been ordered for passenger cars during the year, but when prices on some cars were decreased recently, the license business increased to such an extent that it was necessary to order an additional 1,000 plates. However, the applications for licenses suddenly ceased between November 1 and 10, he said.

Following is a table showing the increase in the automobile license business for Indiana since 1915: Year. Auto Licenses.

Arnott vs. the Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad (the Panhandle). The case was given to the jury about 3 o’clock and a verdict was agreed upon about half an hour later. Arnott was a mail clerk in the employ of the government and contracted pneumonia by reason of inadequate heat in the car, according to an allegation of the complaint, and died. The widow brought suit against the railroad for SIO,OOO damages. Otto Bruce and George Hershman of Crown Point were attorneys for the plaintiff. At the time of his death. Mr. Arnott was a resident of Crown Point. His widow now lives in Rensselaer. —Crown Point Star.

Lost Hunter Sleeps in Caves in Zero Weather

Lead, S. D. —Lost in the Black hills three days and three nights, H. F. Irwin, a of the outdoors and an exponent of “roughing it,” was forced to ■leep in caves. Although the temperature was 10 degrees below zero, Irwin claims he did not suffer much with the cold. Irwin was on one of his periodical deer hunts when he lost his bearings in the hills.

In Defense of the Country Doctor.

Lexington, Ky.—That the old fashioned country doctor who learned his profession from “a book bought at an auction,” is more to be trusted in the diagnosis and treatment of many cases than many of the modern specialists, is the opinion of Dr. A. T. McCormack of the Kentucky state board of health, who delivered an address before the state health officers. But for the old country doctor there are many communities which would be so far from medical aid that untold suffering would result, declared Dr. McCormack.

When a Hotel Is “Home.”

Cincinnati, Q. —Judge John W. Peck, Ip Federal court, holds that if a man’s legal residence is in a hotel, he has as much right to store liquer there as a man has at his home. He dismissed a charge against August Britton of the Walnut hotel, where 22 cases of whisky had been seized.

Rudimentary Conscience Stirred.

South Bend. Ind.—The thief who stole $8,500 worth of bonds from Martin Payne’s room was considerate enough to return them by parcel post when he found they were of uo, value to him.

When Joseph Jacquard in 1801 invented the Jacquard room for pattern weaving, making it possible for a common weaver to do the work hitherto done only by the most expert, there was great objection from the weavers, and on one occasion he was assaulted and narrowly escaped with his life. His only compensation for his valuable invention was a small pension.

THE GOOD; NEW YEAR

by EMORY J. HAYNES

ui uw Poston kmodc

IT WAS foretold forty years ago. New Year shall be a good one. Thia la the story of the prophecy. It depends upon you to believe IL Forty years ago a- lone skater upon the glaaty surface of a lake In norths era New England celebrated his solitary holiday. At the far end of hla ten-mile dash rested In the noonday sun, sitting at the base of a towering diff. Efe was a stonemason’s apprentice, a mere hoy workman. He habitually carried his steel chisel in his pocket Climbing high, and with much hasard, up the face of the towering rocks, he cut thia legend In the face of the mountain: “The New Year Will Be Good.” The bold lettering Is visible for mil as. TRa lake In summer Is a favorite resort of pleasure parties. Each year thousands of eyes have spelled out the cheery monograph, while boats passed, and many a hearty laugh haa rung with a heartier joy as old and young have approved the sculptured promise. It will long endure, for the steel cut deep, and the mountain will not remove, nor the pretty lake pass away. The boy did'hot date it Fortunately so, for that makes It fit every year and every reader. Why not for a century to come? A thousand times the question has been asked: “Who wrote It?” And no one knew. So It seemed some eternal truth of nature that the very rocks had miraculously inscribed upon themselves. It was true to anyone who would take the trouble to lift his eyes and read It In storms the snow silvered the lettering. In sun the words gleamed with lines of living light. A sentence by no means elegant, but crude and boyish rather. Yet what rhetoric could add to the abrupt and simple prophecy from a hopeful, healthy spirit? The New Year was to be just plain “good.” Was that enough? Is it not enough for us all? One good to you, another good to me. still another

good to others. But always to all who will grasp It, written on the very face of the turning globe, the next year will be “good.” Last summer a wealthy visitor at the lakeside hotel drew the proprietor to the corner of the veranda, and, lifting his glasses, asked: “Do you see those letters on the roclfs? I am the boy who cut them, January 1, 1847. You seem glad to know the author. I never revealed the fact. Why should I? “It is not because I said It that It Is true. No matter who says It, on a Happy New Year the New Year will be good. It Is true In itself. Happy the man or boy who says It, who feels it, and who will have it so. * “The mere freak of a moment, yet somehow later I awoke to the fact that I had written a life creed on my heart out of the hopefulness and daring of a boy.” Let us take the hope and courage of youth as the truth of this latest of our years. The New Year must be good. We will make It good. Can you not see those lettered cliffs? No visitor ever was dull to their magic spell, and many have read them through grateful tears.

SLEIGHBELLS JINGLE

Hear the moaning and the groaning of the winter breeze; Old Year’s dyIng—hear him felghing, listen to him wheeze I Weary Willie is quite chilly in his threadbare coat; this cold weather altogether gets his ill-clad goat.- Old Br*er Rabbit’s wary habits now avail him not; hounds are telling by their yelling that the trail is hot. See the fuel fight a duel with your next week’s pay ; watch your meter , and the heater steal your heart away ! You remember last September. August and July? Sun was shining, you were whining, vowing you would die! You were praying for some sleighing, ; crying for some ice; now it’s freezing, quit your sneezing; yell; and say It’s nice!

EIGHT YEARS OF TROUBLE ENDED

Terrs Haute Woman Says Taniac Haa Made All the Difference In the World In the Way She Feels. “I am now enjoying good health for the first time in eight years and I owe my recovery entirely to Tanlac,” said Mrs. Marl* £bellln, of 471 N. Second St, Terre Haute, Ind. “During all those years I had trouble with my stomach and kidneys and was tn a run-down condition generally. My appetite was almost completely gone and I could hardly eat a thing but what gave me trouble.

“I never knew what it was to enjoy a good, hearty meal, and vegetables especially I dared not touch. I was subject tp terrible coughing Spells that often kwt me awake nearly all night, and I felt so weak and tired out all of the time it was hard for me to get, through my housework. “But Taniac has made all the difference In the world in my feelings. I never had such an appetite in my life as I have now, everything seems to agree with me perfectly, for I never suffer after eating and have gained several pounds in weight. The other day I ate soma green beans, something I hadn’t dared do for six years, and never felt a particle of trouble from it.

“I never have a cough now; sleep fine at night and am feeling so much stronger and better that my housework is like play, in fact, I couldn’t ask to feel any better than I do. I have told all my neighbors and friends about the way Taniac has relieved my troubles, and I am only too happy. to make this statement” Taniac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and hi Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.
