A Suggestive Argument in Favor of

rilPABEDMESS

ENGLAND'S SACRED BEAST.

The present session of congress will be the most important in its scope since the civil war. Millions will be appropriated for defense. The traditional policies of the government .will probably be revolutionized.

The Army and Navy will have more money at their disposal during" the next fev years than ever before during time of peace.. Our diplomatic relations with some of the countries at war may be suspended at any time. War may possibly follow such action on our part. Peace May Be Declared during the new year between the countries now at war, and it is assumed that the United States will become the chief arbitrator, if it is able to remain neutral until such time. Mexico is in a reconstructive period and continues to make history of the most pitiful type. The National Conventions Will Be Held in June

. xms is presidential year. Tes- f ident Wilson will probably be-1 indorsed again by the Demo- ) crats and be renominated. Who- :

the Republican candidate will be is yet a matter of speculation. These are only a few of the bigthings the leading newspapers of the country will tell about. In the meantime all the news of interest to the home and to women and children is not to be neglected. Everybody Should Be Prepared to keep posted on these all-important events and no American citizen should remain in igno- ' ranee of what is going on.

No person can expect to keep posted on the affairs of the big wide world unless he reads a metropolitan newspaper. The local paper, which gives him the items from his immediate neighborhood, covers its field, which is from force of circumstances, confined to a small radius.

The Indianapolis News has every existing facility for gathering news. It is a client of the two great press associations, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS and THE UNITED PRESS, which cover eveiy part of the globe. Its Washington bureau is manned by an .experienced staff of writers, and in the rtate of Indiana there are over 800 correspondents, covering practically every hamlet, town and city.

But this particular farmer said

he had hunted for many years him

lost hens. A year or two ago, how

ever, a tox had paid a nocturnal

visit to his fowl yard and had played havoc with the feathered denizens.

It is diflieultv to believe that the sanctimonious expression on Lionel lfcLrrjmore'8 face," and his perfectly good minister's coat, roallv are only a disfruise for a desperate highwayman. But such, alas, is the" case. In "A Yellow Streak." the bis five-act; Metro feature picture produced by the Columbia Pictures Corporation, Mr. Barrvmore has a remarkable dual role. It is the first time, on either the spoken staije, or t.he screen, where this versatile member of the wonderful Barrymore family has had a part which gives him the opportunity to run the gamut of human emotions, from tragedy to comedy, and back again. Pretty and vivacious Irene Uowley is featured with Mr. Barrymore in fcl&Is elaborate production.
