At the first meeting of the new city council it was agreed that a grace of 20 days be given to automobile owners for the possessing of a licensa and after that time it was understood that Marshal Engle was to apprehend all violators of the order and see what should be done about it. The time expired February Ist and: all those who attempy tp disobey the law and the leniency ruling of the council should have a care.

Congressman Fairfield and Seeds
. Congressman Fairfield is trying to win votes for himself by the distribution of free seeds through the republican newspaper offices of the state., To call the: seeds free is misleading. Every. package is paridr for by the peeple purchased against their will and best judgment and when a congressman makes the seeds a personal asset he is only trying to deceive the recipients and taking a peewee advantage. Those fortunate enough to get in on the seed graft ‘are accepting a very small bribe. It was hoped that the country had progressed some distance away from the “free seed™ farce, but there are still a few officers of very small calibre. who cling to it. - :
.When Ira Reed was arraigned in the maydr’s court at Kendallville on a charge of public intoxication he escaped with. a fine of $5 which . was paid. Reed’s punishment was mitigated when he exposed Perry Charter as a still operator and Ed Owens as a dealer in moonshine. Charter and Owens each drew a fine of $lOO and 30 days in jail. The jury of six to find them guilty was evenly divided between men and women. y

NOW WE HAVE “CANARY JAZZ”
Bix Thousand Birds, in Hold of Ship, Introduced New Music: to New York Dancers.
“Canary Jazz” is the latest in syncopated music to be introduced to the feet of dance lovers. It was tried out in the grand ballroom of the steamship George Washington. : The George Washington reached quarantine just after sundown the other night and was compelled to lay at anchor until the next morning, before proceeding to her Hoboken pier. Forced to spend another might at sea, the officers of the George Washington arranged a masked ball for the entertainment of cabin passengers. With Miss Regina Haller, a dramatic soprano from Cleveland, Ohio, who has been singing abroad, Capt. Harold Cunningham led the grand march. : The jazz music from the ship’s orchestra disturbed the slumbers of some six thousand canaries in the hold. The birds stood the music for a time and then started warbling themselves. The shrill notes of the yellow-coated songsters became real “raggy,” andthe musicians in the orchestra ceased their efforts. The dancers continued to glide around the ballroom to- the bird music. It proved a great hit—and thus was born the “canary jazz.”

LINE OF FUTURE PRESIDENTS
: e Time May Come When Movie Fans Will Elect Their Particular Herces
to High Position.
‘Who is to be the first movie candlidate for president of the United States? Don’t laugh or scoff. Do you know anybody who has a bigger following than a popular, good-looking movie star? Consider the voting strength of those who patronize the movies; would they rally 'round one of their idols if he were nominated for high office? The vote of the movie fan, male or female, is as good as that of any other voter, and if he fancied Reid Wallace or Ray Charles for president because one or the other of them had a “nice smile” or a “love of a curl,” the reason which determined his vote would be just as well considered and just as weighty as many of the reasons which prompt voters now in the choice of a candidate. All a man needs to be elected to high office is a reputation for honesty, “a strong face” and a well-circulated report that he is “good to his wife.” And a movie star should be able to command these assets, Arthur H. Folwell writes in Leslie’s. There are probably 90,000,000 movie fans in the United States. Who will be the first political boss astute enough to capitalize this following? Think of the adoring flappers of voting age, thousands upon thousands of them, who would take their first interest in poiitics were one of their screen favorites to be nominated for the presidency. They'd vote him into the white house: because of his adorable eyes or the twist of his hair at the temples. Don’t laugh. They would. And some day they will. '
BALM OF GILEAD LOVE GIFT
What Is Known as “Bee Wine” Has . Been Introduced Into England " by Returning Soldiers.
In many houses in Great Britain, writes a correspondent, a .glass jar, filled with a yellowish liquid and containing small pleces of white fungus, may be -seen. It is loosely covered with a plece of brown paper. This is “bee wine” in the making. The activity of the pleces of fungus rising and falling suggested the busy bee and gave the wine its nickname. Its correct name is “Balm of Gilead,” and there is an old superstition that it must not be sold but always passed on as a love gift. Our soldiers, returning from Mesopotamia, brought the balm (which is procured from an Eastern tree) with them. The fungus doubles in bulk with every brew. Balm of Gilead is actually a yellowish, aromatic gum, collected from Arabian and Abyssinian trees. The making of it having become commop, knowledge, someone has raised the bogey that it produces cancer and other malignant growths. It may, however, be taken in an unfermented state, as it lis useful in cases of whooping cough and other allments. It has always been valued In the East for Its exceptional fragrance and supposed medicinal qualities. In fact, the trees from which it comes belong to a family of plants styled “all heal” The gum is collected by making incisions in the trunks and upper parts of the trees.
Draining the Zuyder Zee.
At the inland shipping congress held at Rotterdam recently the drainage of the Zuyder zee formed the most important subject of discussion. / It was pointed out that the 'dra}nage would make necessary the construction of a number of new canals.” One speaker pleaded that the building of new villages. and factorles of the polders should not be left to mere chance. Villages with churches should be built near the canals, but industrial works near the dykes. Such an arrangement would prove of advantage to shipping, and would prevent any pollution of the polder water. A number of the waterways connecting the .Zuyder zee ports are to be preserved, but wherever polders form a continuation of the existing land, new harbors will have to be made.—Scientific American. :
Why Should He Be Surprised? | Culture will crop out. ‘A Boston golf player writes to the Outlook telllhg how his caddie gave him a bit of surprise. The golfer had played his ball into the rough, and they had about given it up for lost, when suddenly the youngster's eye lit upon it. Did he holler, ungrammatically: “I got lit, mister?” Not this lad. Ralising the ball aloft, he exclaimed triumphantly: “Miserable dictu—it’s found !”"—Boston Transcript. ' :
Beavers Satisfled In Captivity.
The colony of beavers at the zoological park of New York, have tunneled , under the foundation wall and escaped to the upper reaches of the Bronx river.

Satisfie_d If It Was All Right, But tne Situation Did Not Exactly Please Him. ;
The neighbors said that Jake Newton was strictly honest but “pretty snug.” e : - One morning as he was having his sheep sheared he found that one 'of them' was missing. “It must have jumped the fence and gone into Leslie’g lot,” he sald to himself and immediately walked over to Leslie French’s pasture, picked out a sheep that resembled him own and, after a tussle, got it home and had it sheared. ‘A few days later Jake discovered, his missing sheep dead in his pasture. He lost no time in seeking his neighbor. With profuse apologies he returned the sheep and the fleece and explained the whole affair. o ~ *“Oh, that’s all right, Jake,” Leslie replied. “Don’t let it trouble you a bit.” : . “You're sure it's all right?’ Jake asked anxiously. ; “Sure, sure, Jake. Anyone is likely to make a mistake.” ; Jake drew himself up. *“Well, it ought to be all right. I had to pay seven cents to have that sheep sheared.”—Youth’'s Companion.
Artist Works With Wood.
| In the Vosges mountains there lives gn artist named Spindler, who produces the ‘most entrancing compositions not in paint, but in wood alone. First he makes the sketch, and then with infinite patience and care he cuts the veneer and glues it to a backing and then welds it all in a press. Since Mr. Spihdler never uses anything except wood in its natural color, he has to know a great deal about trees. In his workroom he has pieces of every kind of wood found in Europe and many pleces from other countries. He pictures clouds, rain, and everything that an artist can plcture with paints. Some of his veneer takes him hours -of study. ang fitting, and some of it is as fiue as a hair. Mr. Spindler has wood of every shade.of yellow, red, brown, black and white. He has almost all the shudes of green also, but he finds the blues hard to get.— ‘Columbus Dispatch. » ,
Colleges Take ‘“Washer Boys.”
The large laundries are beginning to revised their price lists in keeping with the return to “normalcy,” says the New York Sun, but this deesn’t apply to Mr. John Chinaman’s laundry. He admits he is getting cheaper soap and cheaper starch, but he insists China boys to do the work are scarcer and higher than ever. Many of the Chinese youths are golng to universities. and absorbing some of the. finer occidental arts, and turn up their noses at pushing a gasiron in a laundry. It’s only the old Chinese that will wash clothes, and they work slowly. : So, says Lee Sing, until things get a little more normal and the younger Chinese drop some of their higher educational ideas, he can’t see how a laundry ticket can be exchanged for less money. ‘
