Project For Pleasant Affair For Next Wednesday Evening is Rapidly Taking Form

The latest project advanced by residents of Ligonier is to give a banquet next Wednesday evening for the Tri City and the Ligonier School Bands and that a joint musical concert for the public to follow.

The last of the season’s open air concerts by the Tri City band scheduled for last evening could not be given on account of rain and the present arrangement\s are to give the concert, probably in city park, next Wednesday evening in eonjunction with the school organization. The details of the public function are to be worked out by the joint, action of committees named by the Lions club today and the Chamber of commerce. : The feeling is general that theseq Ligonier musical organizations should be recognized for their notable achievq ments. They have not only won distinction for themselves but have brought honor to their home town. |

Busses Using Detour.

The big Golden Fawn motor busses operating between South Bend and Fort Wayne via Ligonier are using a detour around the west edge of, Kimmell work having been started on paving the three-fourths of a mile of road through the village of Kimmell. In order to get federal aid the Lingo}n highway was routed to the west of Kimmell where the Baltimore Ohio, railroad crossing will be separated. The pavement is finished but nothing has been done regarding the crossing. The pavement through the village of Kimmel lis a township improvement and will be of much value to bsuiness interests of Kimmell. That stretch of road has been so rough it has aroused the ire of all motorists using it. Theq short stretch of cement will be finished within a few weeks.

PLAIN CITIZENS

He Gives Out Figures and Facts to Show Where Public Statements Mislead.

To The Banner:

‘Watson-Robinson, supporters continue to compliment the Jackson ady ministration on its ‘“‘economy” ’'The compliments are always in glowing general terms. That is very noticeable. They always carefully avoid the record. And well it is from the Watson-Rob-inson point of view, that the record ig avoided. Nothing it has been aptly remarked, hampers the fervid imagination quite so much as the facts. And the facts, in this instance, certainly would hamper dismally any one who held to a theory that the Jackson ‘administration practices economy. In one year the Jackson administration collected from all sources $562,836,192.69. That is 1925. - : "~ That is $7,072,427.71 more than the Democrats collected during the whole four-year term of office of the late Samuel M. Ralston. Tl Expenditurefi ~of the Jackson administration in the two years of 1924 and 1925 totaled $106,831,670.64. That is $30,577,287.40 more than was spent by the Democrats in the eight years covered by the administrations of Thomas R. Marshall and Senator Ralston. : e Figures like that tell why the supporters of Senators Watson and Robinson are long on fancy phrases and short on facts when they descant on the “economy” practiced by the Jackson administration. The facts are all against them. \ Plafu Citizen

Leland Holderman is in jail at Albion upon a charge of having deserted his wife and child for a perjod of two years. He was arrested at White Pigeon Mich., by the sheriff at that place in the presence of the sheriff of Noble county and of Prose cutor C. A. Lincoln. The man was taken into custody as he was getting off a train just as he was returning from Phoenix, Arizona. A young woman had come to White Pigeon from Elkhart to meet Holderman according to Prosecutor Lincoln, but when she learned what the situation was she decided to return to her homée and the officers from Indiana assisted her there. !
