Republican ___ / Party Keeps Its Pledges Indianapolis, Feb. 4. —Every pledge made by the republican party to Indiana voters in the last campaign will Be redeemed by complete fulfillment before the election this year. Governor Jackson told the Republican Editorial association in an address enumerating the accomplishments of the state administration. In addition, Governor Jackson committed- the administration to new endeavors exceeding the campaign promises. The state tax rate will be reduced 10 to 15 percent next September. and despite, this reduction, $400,000 of additional revenue for road building in 1927 is now in sight, the Governor said. The 1926 road program calls for paving 250 miles of loads, and the 1927 program will be 300 miles, an expansion in road building that was not promised in the cam paign. The Governor’s speech follows: “I am a firm believer in advertising, but, in my opinion, a public servant should advertise by faithful service rendered and not by much talking. The best politics on the part of a public servant is the rendering of the best possible service, and should be the only politics tolerated in any governmental department. "The present state administration has just closed its first year. During that period real estate has been reappraised, materially reducing the. valuation of farm lands. The state general fund has been re-stated, collecting into one fund all revenues from the various sources derived that formerly found their way into several funds. Asa result of the consolidation of these funds it made it possible to properly apply the budget i system to the state’s expenditures. I .The proper budgeting of the state’s expenditures has made it possible to discharge, within less than a year, $1,900,i>00 of the state’s indebtedness and will enable the state finance committee to discharge one million dollars more of the state's indebtedness by July 1 of the present year. In September, 1926, we will be enabled to reduce the state tax rate three or four percent. “Asa result of the economical program of the administration there reverted to the general fund, at the close of the last fiscal year, more than one million dollars, the largest amount " of un-expended appropriations ever reverting in any one year to the general fund. “There seems to be a growing disposition on the part of the ofticials of local governments to co-operote in a program of economical manage-

Have A Heart The day we call St. Valentine’s Day is the day birds are supposed to begin to mate —build their homes. Hence hearts, warm sentiments and the like. Well, thinking of Valentine, did you ever think what it is that goes to make a perfectly-mated home? It is a perfect plumbing system plus a perfect heating plant. Plumbing and heating are the heart of the home. Plumbing llows happiness.; heating radiates comfort." V ithoUt happiness and comfort a home is not a home. It is just a house. And a house is without heart or sentiment. Have the best plumbing and heating—have a heart in your home. S. F. CALLANDER Plumbing and Heating Nappanee
ment of local governments. This, I am confident, If adhered to strictly, will result in a material decrease of the tax rate for locai purposes.' "Our highway program has been progressing satisfactorily. I am informed by our state highway director, that we wilh-bp enabled this year to complete the construction of two hundred fifty miles of hard surface highway. This will be the largest number of mileage constructed in any one year since the organization of the commission. I feel confident that we cart arrange for a program that will include the construction of .three hundred miles of hard surface, highway for 1927. "In an effort to increase the funds that may be available for a larger program of highway construction, I feel that it is only a matter of simple justice that the $400,000, which has been diverted from the auto theft fund and used in the discharge of the state’s indebtedness standing against the general fund, should be appropriated as an additional amount to be used for highway purposes. By such use of this fund it would more definately fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. “Our common school system at this time is more cumbersome and costly than it should be. The very best effort possible should be directed to the improvement of this system in order to secure the highest educational accomplishment and the elimination of all unnecessary expenditures. .. “We have a splendid park system In Indiana which is being built up at a very small cost to the people of the state. This program should be continued and enlarged for its value to the present generation and to succeeding generations. I am pleased to know that such a program so appeals to men and organizations of large capital that they are willing to donate liberally to this program. The state has 'just recently received a donation from the United States Steel corporation of $250,000 to aid in purchasing the Dunes Park. Others have indicated their willingness to contribute large sums to aid in the final accomplishment of Jhe Dunes Park program. “The farmer’s problem is yet far from solved. I do not know that any one has a real, definite solution, but the best efforts possible should be directed by all interests in the proper solving of his problem, for it is not only' a matter that concerns the farmer, but all classes of citizens. In order to aid somewhat in this direction the last legislature passed a cooperative marketing act which, it is hoped, may aid materially in the proper marketing of the farmer's produce. “These splendid accomplishments have been quite largely brought about by the fine co-operation of ,the last general assembly and the conscientious, efficient and faithful management of the respective state departments and institutions. “Thus, within the first twenty months of this administration, we will have been enabled to have redeemed, by complete fulfillment, every pledge made by the republican party to the voters of Indiana during the last campaign.’* • Foolish King William IV, who was king of England front 1830 to 1837, was known as "Silly Billy" on account of his eecentrlc ways. He had to resign the office of lord high admiral because of his arbitrary conduct.

High School News 1 A ; V- <V' . PREPARATION FOR LIFE’B WORK AND SMOKING (Maynard Lehman) The preparation for life’s work begins when the youth is between the ages of thirteen and twenty. During this period the habits are being form ed for the remainder of his life and thus he is preparing himself for life in later years. Somewhere within this period comes the time'when he must decide What sort of a moral life he is to live. This is the time when the stand against alcoholic drinks and tobacco must be made for if it is put off, the realization of .their harm may come too late for him to break away from their use. The harm which comes from smoking is caused by the absorption of certain poisons from the tobacco smoke, by the blood. Taking a few of the vital organs separately, let us see what effect these poisons have on them. On account of the inhaling habit soon acquired by a smoker, the tobacco smoke comes into the lungs through the bronchial tubes. Here the nicotine, acroline, furfural and other tobacco poisons are separated from the smoke ny the delicate air cells whose work is to separate the oxygen front the air which we breathe. This supply of poison in the lungs causes the cells to become blackened and hardened. This abnormal condition slows up the work of the lungs causing shortness of breath. This is the reason that athletic instructors will not allow members of their teams to use tobacco. The next organ to be seriously afj fected by tobacco smoke is the heart. From the lungs the blood next flows to the heart *and here it deposits a large share of the poisons it carries. (This causes the interior of the heart to become blackened and stiffehs the valves which- control -the heart action.) These poisons in the blood cause the blood vessels to contract, thus raising the blood pressure and forcing the heart to work harder. This is why tlje majority of men who die of heart trouble are smokers. Another vital organ to be weakened by the use of tobacco, is tlje brain. This delicate controling organ is literally shrivelled up by the poisons coming from the blood. This condition prevents anyone from having the full mental capacity that they would have normally. ♦ The blood absorbs a large amount of carbon monoxide from the tobacco smoke. This gas causes the majority of the red corpuscles to become inactive and it also hinders the work of the white corpuscles whose business is to keep the body clean from The question comes un. "Why is the cigarette so popular?” The answer is this: Cigarette smoke is much milder than the smoke-from a cigar or nine. The beginner uses cigarettes at first until his bronchial tubes and lungs have become hardened by the mild smoke, then it is possible for him to smoke a cigar or nin v-itbou* retting sick over it Because cigarette smoke is mildpr. persons soon learn to inhale the atooke. This stvle of smoking ia much more harmful than keening the smoke in the mouth for thus it comes in contact with the lungs from which its poisons are carried throughout the body. Some manufacturers evej) put ingredients into their cigarettes to- make the smoke mild for the boys who are just starting the habft. The use of tobaco is a great handi--9

cap in the business world. A slow person has no place in business where clear, quick, reasoning is required. No one sees an advertisement in which smoking is a requirement for the position, while on the other hand, many ads are seen which specifically state that smokers need not apply.We can easily see from this, how a young person’s future life depends much on whether he or she uses tobacco and cigarettes in particular. The secretary of the Tobacco Merchants association remarks, “There is no luxury on our tax schedule with the except’on of playing cards, daggers, stilletoes and brass knuckles, bearing the enormous tax rates imposed upon tobacco.’’ This statement is proof itself that the commonsense of the public realize the harmfulness and worthlessness of tobacco by rating it in this manner. Figures gathered for the year 1917 show that $1,400,000,000 was spent that year on tobacco alone. Consider what this amount would have done along other lines. It would nave purchaseda 14,000,000 acre farm at SIOO an acre. This would give a garden of one-eighth of an acre to every man, woman and child in the United States and in twenty years it would provide a small farm for every inhabitant. This money represents an expenditure of $15.52 for cigarettes and $44.36 for tobacco in other forms for every second in the year. .The acreage planted in tobacco last year was 1,446,600, that is the best farming land in the country This land would have produced 40,000,000 bushels to add to our wheat crop and the grain would have been worth $85,000,000. From the foregoing figure, it is easy to see one huge source of economic waste in this country. The administration is supposed to be conducted on an economical basis in this country, but the place to practice economy is where the greater waste is going on, and if the government would legislate against tobacco this, the greatest source of waste in the country would be destroyed.

court, New York City, state, “Cigarettes are fast ruining our children and making them criminals. In my court 95 percent of the boys brought before me are cigarette smokers. The United States government shguld pass laws preventing the sale and manufacture of cigarettes within its borders. If this is the trend of the youth today, consider what our government of tomorrow will be. This shows another reason why tobaccrf should be lawed .out. The tobacco problem Is a huge one for it is an enemy to mental, physical, moral and spiritual development. It is up to us,the present generation, and the voters of today, to protect the future of the oncoming citizen and rulers of this nation of ours by swift and proper legislation against tobacco. When this is accomplished we have advanced another step under the standards upon which this country was founded.
