WEEKLY COURIER BEN ED. DOANE, Publisher JASPER .... INDIANA The purchaser of a lamb chop these days feels he has been fleeced.

Next to wars the world can most comfortably do without strikes and lockouts. Matches within reach can develop a matter that comes far from being child's play. Ukrainian revolutions come and go, but none of them seems to effect much of a turnover. Most of the people who say hard times are inescapable have found that hard work isn't. A woman rather loses her enthusiasm our her birthday after it gets to be an old story. However, there are some men out of work principally because they are conscientious objectors. German marks, having declined to three for one cent, are now beginning to interest the junk man. And yet, if man's vanity didn't make him thirst for applause, he probably wouldn't amount to a darn. It seems especially hard for some motorists to learn that gasoline is better than whisky for motoring. The unexpected happens now and again. A play has been found that is too "modern" for Broadwny. Give a small boy his preference and he wouldn't care to be raised on a silver spoon that has castor oil in it. We suppose the women of Paris are wearing those "leg muffs" as a gentle reminder that the world's their football. Commodities are near the pre-war price level, but it still costs a sinful lot of money to rent a place to use them. Being shot for a deer by an amateur hunter in the north woods is one of those experiences that are not worth while. The bandit who found only the trifling sum of $35 In n motion picture box office was no friend to the press agent. Has anybody yet fathomed the reason why people wear spectacles that look like a pair of automobile headlights? Russia is selling skins and furs at auction through a German firm. The German has taken the trouble to understand the Russian psychology. Suggestion for preserving the integrity of China by reducing it and leaving Manchuria and Mongolia outside is worthy of the most finished type of the old diplomacy. Former Emperor Charles has a wife and seven children. He doesn't need the throne of a bankrupt nation. He needs a steady job at the iron works. There is a reported shortage of 3,000,000 bushels in the peanut crop. Well, politics are at rest for a while, but it does look hard for the next summer's baseball and circus business. Says the Nashville Tennesseean: "If monkey glands make old men young why aren't old monkeys young?" Pshaw-- now we'll have to start all over again. Hearing all this excited talk about milk, the careless person might get the impression that most milk comes from cows. People continue to talk about the next war, but what everybody wants to know is when the next peace is going to begin. The silly season has no calendric status, but is strictly individual and contemporal with one's natural life--just anybody's. Scientists claim to have discovered a small germ preying upon the body of a larger one. The old rhyme still holds true--ad infinitum. The fixing of the Albanian boundary on a line drawn in 1913 will be welcomed by the citizen who is still trying to get along on his pre-war geography If it will soothe his feelings, arrangements may easily be made to allow Charles of Austria to carry along an easy chair and call it a throne, if he chooses. Lenin sees war ahead between the United States and Japan or the United States and Great Britain. Anyway. he sees war ahead. Our beloved country is not in a state of war, and yet we require soldiers and marines to guard our mail trains. Peace hath its bickerings. A number of German politicians are of the opinion that the international laws shauld reveal some kind of a bankruptcy act which they could use to advantage.

Road Aid Fund

and ?25,Uix.UUO of the sum Is available immediately, the balance becoming available on January 1, l'J'gg. The federal highway act In general way resembles the federal aid act of TJ1G. Apportionment of the fund to the states Is almost the same as In the previous act, the fund being dlvhled into three parts, one part apportioned according to population, one according to area, and one part according to mileage of rural and star mail routes. A new feature is the stipulation that no state shall receive less than onehalf of 1 per cent of the total fund, which. In this cae is $,XÖ,G2o. There is considerable change, however, in the manner in which a state may use its allotment. Each state must select a connected road system not exceeding 7 per cent of its road mileage for improvement with federal aid. It is estimated by engineers of the United States Department of Agriculture that the federal aid roads under construction on October .TL were giving employment to about 2T0.000 men, either directly on the actual road construction or Indirectly In the production and transportation of the materials which enter into the construction. Furnish 48 Senators The four senators who were born in the Empire state are, in addition to James W. Wadsworth, Jr. and William M. Calder, the state's own Senators, Frank 15.

Of the eleven hundred men of that battalion who entered that battle but 10T returned alive or wounded. All but 10." were either killed or wounded. In that battle Captain Holderman was wounded three times, and while wounded led his men. Captain Holderman stood up in the gallery amid the applause of the house. He is at present detailed to the command of an infantry company at the Presidio of San Francisco. Captain HoJderman's citation recites, among other things, that he was wounded on October 4. and again on October 7, but throughout the entire period, suffering great pain and subjected to tire of every character, he continued jersonally to lead and encourage the officers and men under his command with unflinching courage and with distinguished success.
