WEEKLYJCOUSIER DEN ED. DO A NE, Publisher JASPER - - - INDIANA Automobiles are .coming down, hut It Is the upkeep that counts.

Ahout the only sport one can feel mire of any more Is solitaire. Xlaylto this Is the year In which the profiteer Is caught holding the hag. Anyway.' the overall fad had no chance against the silk shirt mania. Now that the price of bread Is down, father can make the dough go farther. Producers are Just beginning to discover that no dividends will be paid on greed. Well, everybody .can remember when dollar wheat was the talk of the town. As the cold comes oii soviet troops Fee the need of turning swords Into fiiow shovels. The American aerial squadron in Poland has paid something on account to Kosciusko. It won't lo many days until we'll be In direct communication with Medicine Hat. Just now the girls who bobbed their hair last spring wish they had not been quite so hasty. If this price cutting continues they will he giving away automobiles as premiums with gasoline. The overall fad offers no hopeful alternative In the presence of a genuine autumnal cold wave. Poland shows a fine ability to mind Its own business If "given half a chance and enough guns. The open sugar bowl on the restaurant table will be the last grand sign of restored prosperity. It Is apparent that many more persons In this country know how to drive n car than how to milk a cow. Maybe the only way to stop auto thefts is ro treat the culprit like the primeval West did the horse thief! The Lithuanian system of giving prizes with wives might get some American old maids off the shelf. Has anybody ever been able to exhibit a radiator to prove that the telephone pole got the worst of It? The growth of American shipping Is said to excite P.ritish anger. I5nt that Is no real reason for stopping it. Itensts of the field and forest have to work double shifts these days to supply the winter furs as soon as the summer furs are put nwa,y in moth balls. The shop trade "expects Increase of orders' we are told. Naturally: some of us who have been going barefoot on the summer beaches must prepare for winter. That advice of the coal men for domestic consumers to buy coal In small quantities also fits in nicely with the prices that are being charged for it. A reduction In the manufacturer's price of overalls has been announced. I It must be that the ladies have stopped wearing them, yince labor has no use for 'em. We seriously doubt that isolation Is Mitlicient in the case of the young man who Is learning to play the saxophone. One wonders why the wild geese delayed their journey south this year. Nobody has raised their transportation rates. In the face of the lied tide that Is surging towr.nl America a few deportations are like trying to bail out the ocean. A lot of persons are Inystlfied by the increasing popularity of the blew!. Whv be mystified? Ask the gasoline man what the price is 'today. Profiteers complain that demand for good has fallen off; but there doesn't seem to be any disposition on their part to let go their war profits. The report that the Russian crown jewels are in the United States is not believed, as none of the new millionaires Jiave as yet been seen wearing anv of them. About the only men In the country who seem too poor to afford silk shirts are the bank presidents and railroad magnates. The clothing dealer can cheer up In the thought that a good many will nave to buy a new overcoat to cover up the old suit. There's no sense In n woman struggling to make a choice between a home Mid a can er. If she has the proper temperament she canand douhtless vtll have !otl.

täte News - Indianapolis. The assumption In a Washington dispatch that the ruling of the United States Supreme court to the effect that liquor which a person has lawfully acquired may be stored In a p'ace other than his home, would supersede any provision to the contrary in the Indiana prohibition law, Is not correct, according to Charles J.

United States Has Eye on Mexican "Reds"

.to

WASHINGTON. The Fourth Internationale, in the affairs of which the Russian Bolshevist leaders have assumed a commanding position, will meet In Mexico City next January. This statement Is printed In a recent Issue of El Universal of Mexico City, which points out that already the "Red" element is at work to exclude from the internationale at its coming meeting the leaders of the Liberal, or "yellow" element, as the Mexican calls the moderate radical. Furthermore, El Universal asserts that the present Mexican government will take no steps to oppose the'meeting of the extreme radical groups of the world from assembling in Mexico City. That Bolshevism Is making headway in Mexico is reported in advices being received here from numerous sources in Mexico. There was a demonstration a few weeks ago in front of the national Country Rims Up IT COST the women In the United States approximately $750,000,001 last year to rouge their cheeks, dab their noses with powder and make themselves fragrant with perfume, according to a compilation of the luxury tax returns which have been made by Uncle Sam. The cost of cosmetics and perfume was more' than twice that of women's furs in a year when the fur prices were the highest in history. The amount spent on furs was approximately $300,000,000. The' year 1910 was luxurious, according to the tax figures, which show that the amount spent on luxuries was $22,700,000,000. The ladies did their part in spending money on luxuries, but the expenditures were not confined to them. Eight hundred million dollars went up in smoke cigarette smoke, while $310,000,000 were burned up In the form of cigars. Jewelry cost $500,000,000 an impressive sum, but only two per cent of luxurious expenditures. Pianos, organs and phonographs entertained the people to 'the tune of $230,000,000, while automobiles cost $2,000,000,000. When it comes to deciding what is and what is not a luxury your Uncle

Optimist Finds Amusement on Street Cars

j S THEKE no balm In Gllead? Are 1 there no amusements aboard Wash:iton street cars? One would think riding on local street cars Is totally divested of happiness of any sort, to listen to some Wallings on the subject As a matter of fact, this is much as in other matters In life you carry your happiness with you. even on a street car. Watching the motorman is interesting. If you become bored with yourself on a car, try to figure out what .ou would do with the motorman's 'overs and brakes if he should suddeniv have a lit and the running of the -ar should devolve on the passengers. Hanging to a strap may be made a splendid exercise by alternate suspension by the right and left arms. Balancing without manual support develops the powers of equilibrium as well bs the muscles of the legs. If you are thrown up against a testy passen-

palace In Mexico City, and only a few days ago a similar demonstration was held in the state of Nyarlt, formerly known as the state of Teplc. Additional evidence that very little Is being done to check the spread of Bolshevist doctrines south of the Rio Grande is the fact that 'the present Mexican government has failed to keep Its word, given a few weeks ago, to deport from the country the various alien agitators, who, It Is admitted, are the leaders and the brains of the Mexican radical movement. In announcing that the Fourth internAtionale will be held In Mexico City, El Universal says In part: "In woikingmenfs centers a great animation is noted because by resolution taken In the Third internationale, held In Moscow last June, the Fourth Internationale will be held in Mexico City next January. "The First Internationale was held in London, the second In Petrograd, the third in Moscow and the fourth will be held In Mexico. "In the Third internationale, as we were told by various leaders of the worklngmen, It was agreed that as the first three Internationales had been held in Europe, It was proper to hold the fourth on the American continent. It is asserted that the United States government is being kept advised fully of the radical movement south of the Rio Grande.

Big Bill for Luxuries ITS WORTH ItJ AT $&ef yWÜ Sam proves he's some tax collector. For instance: The gum the stenographer chews is a luxury; the diamond engagement ring. Is a luxury; the automobile that brings you to your work is a luxury, and toilet soap, cigars and soda water are placed x In the same category. llere follows some of the high spots In the' nation's luxury bill: Soft drinks, $130,000,000; toilet soaps, $400,000,000; chewing tobacco and snuff, $SOO,000,000; ice cream, $230,000,000; cheQjng gum, $30,000,000; cake and confections, $330,000,000 ; "luxurious services" (whatever that means), $3,000,000,000; luxurious food (end you can write your own answer to that), $3,000.000,000; joy riding, pleasure resorts and races (if this Is clear to you), $3,000,000,000. Guard organizations may be main' tained at 03 active enlisted men, and such number of National Guard reserves as will equal or exceed the minimum peace strength for similar units of the regular army. While the policy establishes the active peace strength for companies and corresponding units of the National Guard, it Is desired that every effort be made to encourage tfie maintenance of such units at the peace strength prescribed for the regular army, which will be approximately 100 enlisted men. In order to facilitate the reorgan- ! ization of the National Guard until July 1, 1921, companies and corresponding units are to be recognized with a minimum strength of 50 active enlisted men. ' The second decision changes regulations which required members of National Guard organizations to be enlisted at least GO days prior to attendance at camps of instruction in order to receive pay for such service. Under this change recruits may be enlisted at any time and paid for attendance at camp. ger your capacity for good humor also is tested. Those with statistical leanings are In a paradise while riding on a Washington street car. How many men get seats next windows? What per cent of the male population arises to give what per cent of the female population seats? How many girls get up to give their seats to older women, and what per cent get rebuffed? And one may always read.

VcEn aYglim is IIebyous Worried The lives of most women are full of worry. Men's troubles arc bad enough, but women's are worse. .Worry makes women sick. It pulls them down, and in their weakened condition they are subject to pains, aches, weakness, backaches, neadaches and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will und that neglect does not pay. A little more attention to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription benefits n woman's whole system. It not only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an allround tonic that braces the entire body, overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness and a run-down condition. Mount Vernon, III. WI am glad to say that Doctor Tierce's Favorito Prescription proved just as good aa it is advertised to be. I was weak and lacked strength and ambition. I had worked hard and was poorly. I u?ed the 'Favorite Prescription' and it gavo me new strength, and seemed to put new life in me.
