EDITORIAL

CALVIN COOLIDGE A great statesman has passed on. And the last ex-president has -answered the final call. Calvin Coolidge devoted his life to public service, closing his eventful life with the successful administration of the highest public office the people of the United States could give him. And in that life of service he proved always a man of quick and accurate decisions carried through to the end. And he made friends with the whole world. Calvin Coolidge freely GAVE to public service, rather than accept public office for what he might GET from it. He always shunned the public eye and publicity rather than sought for it. More public officials like Coolidge would make for better government and a better world. He will be sorely missed and long remembered in public life. And the nation mourns.

THE SHIPWRECKED FARMERS If a half dozen men were marooned on a desert island they would join forces to secure food, shelter and projection. It would be folly for each to work separately. By cooperation they would achieve results obtainable in no other manner. This illustration explains the farm cooperative movement. Farmers today are in much the same position as sailors , ; wrecked on a desert island. Their financal existence depends on profitable and permanent markets for their produce. Each farmer wo/king alone is powerless for he is Supposed by forces far stronger thar^he. But when ten thousand farmers join forces to study ' production figures, marketing, transportaton and like problem^ of agriculture, their situation has changed. Cooperation is just another name for economic salvation —Industrial News. . Yesterday (Tuesday) bright signs showed plainly in the way of better conditions as the United States Steel Co revealed that December business was w z ay ahead of last year and much better than was expected. Stocks showed some improvement, while wheat hit the highest point in three months, raising three points in Tuesday’s trading. Railroads reported car loading ahead of 1931 for Decemebr. One Chicago bank stock recently rose fiftyseven points in three days or an average l>f nearly thirty points per day for the period. The general -trend of the markets indicates the general trend of business. Higher prices for agricultural products will make for better times faster than any other one thing. Such reports as the above are at least hopeful.

ZANE GREY FILM NEAR END OF RUN. Zane Grey’s “Wild Horse Mesa”, which has been the current attraction at the Momence Theatre will close its engagement there Saturday. : The film is based on one of Zane Grey’s most popular stories, dealing with the great wild horse herd of the West, descendants of blooded animals that had escaped from early Spanish explorers; Chane Weymer, a friend of the Indians on whose territory the last of the great herd sought refuge, deals in these horses legitimately, and he fights -the barbarous methods of Rawlins and other horse thieves. ? | Randolph Scott, the lanky newcomer who appeared to advantage in “Heritage of the Desert” and “Hot Saturday”, has the.irole of Chane. Sally Blane is the heroine, Fred Kohler, Rawlins; and others of prominence in the cast are Lucille La Verne as ihe mother of the Heroine; Charley Grapewin as Sam Bass, an old cousin of the latter; James Bush as the young brother of Chane, and Jim Thorpe as the Indian chief.

Our basket ball squads enjoy their new showers, recently installed by our new plumbers Emerald Hoile and janitor Kinnemar. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kinnemar, Monday morning and left them a nine pound boy. No wonder our janitor wears that broad smile. Mother and babe are doing just fine. Earl Hinman, was unfortunate Saturday evening and broke his arm while cranking his automobile. Dr. Leeson of DeMotte reduced the fracture. The basket ball game Saturday evening at Wheatfihld, between Kniman and Wheatfield gave the victory to Wheatfield. Wake up Kniman.

The Evergreen’s “King”

It seems to he nature’s intention that all evergreen trees shall have one main spike, which rises straight up. The spruce, as an example, grows in this way with the side branches going straight out parallel to the ground from the base of the upright. The upright then sprouts a number of branches at its tip to repeat the process. If through injury or priming, the center or upright branch of a new series is killed all of the side branches at this point turn gradually upward and this continues for some time until one, through some mysterious selection, asserts itself as the main branch and the others then gradually drop back to their horizontal position and the tree resumes once more its normal growth. ■

COAL “This year you require all the facts—in planning your heating expenses for the winter. It’s the greatest single item of expense in your household. A mistake in selecting the wrong fuel—means an extra ton every few weeks and an extra ton costs money. If you are not “fuel wise” look for “bargains”.....Bargain tons don’t last as long. Coal and eggs look alike on the outside. When you use them it is too late to change. Its the intelligent, experienced home-maker who knows the value of depending on an experienced heat merchant, who knows fuels and wants to retain you year after year as a customer. We sell climate not tons of coal. Come to us if you must economize. We have a wide range of fuel and can supply you with a very, very, low priced coal if you require it...... And we will stand back of it. Phone us today for complete information and low prices. QUALITY COAL—SQUARE TONS WILBUR LBR. CO. H. W. LITTLEFIELD, Mgr. Phone 177-M-2 Schneider, Ind.
