Editorial

ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED. By W. E. Wallach.

The year 1922 was welcomed in

Mishawaka by the ringing of bells, the blowing of factory whistles, and a general evidence of comraderie throughout the city. Mishawaka did well in 1921. It maintained its reputation as one of the most fortunate cities from an industrial standpoint in the country. It had less unemployment than any other city in the United States. It had more prosperity. It had fewer disconnects; its credit is unimpaired. In fact, Mishawaka for Its sire and industrial importance stands second

to none in the

country. This is

due in part to the world renown fame of its prodlucts, such as the Ball-Band, Dodge pulleys. Indestructo trunks, Perkins wlndmills, etc. It is a fact that notwlthstanding the depression existing elsewhere throughout the country, Mishawaka industries have been enabled to operate without any cut in wages or in time. From a retail point of it was conceded last night by Ray Wines and Sam Gilbert, two of the Ieading merchants, that notwithstanding reports from other centers of the falling off in trade, Mishawaka had done a record Christmas business, ahead of last year's by many thousand dollars. Just another evidence of Mishawaha's right to proclaim itself as one of the most prosperous cities in the continent. The year just entered brings no evidence of retroaction. Nineteen hundred and twenty-one has dragged its tall in the sand and is lying mute and still along the Lincoln highway of time. Mishawakans your place is on the starting line of the new year with your big toes edging over. Will you honor the city of your birth or adoption by striving to maintain the reputation offered you? The News-Times says you will! Go to it; show 'em!

TEMPLE No longer will fans be able to say, even if they safe it affectionately,

"Charles Ray. who acts those country boob characters." True they will be able to see him in the type of character they have come to assoclate with him still, but his country boy impersonations will be varied with other characterizations which they will find equally as fascinating. In "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway" Charles Hay Introduced his admlrers to a different sort of character than they had previously seen him in, and the attendance results have adequately proven how much the picture was liked. In "Peaceful Valley" he returned to his old character, the country boy, and is being received with the glad hand of old-time friendship. In

Nineteen and Phyllis" re is the well dressed boy of a small southern town and strikes another new note, and it is noteworthy that the distributors of the Charles Ray pictures go on record as stating that this feature will be as popular as any feature in which the star has ever appeared. In "The Old Swimmin' Hole." the First National attraction, now on the screen at the Temple theater, he is a country boy again, and so the program of coming pictures will afford the artist a wide field of characterization and will doubtless raise many pros and cons, for many people like to hear the same old joke over and over.

MAN IN THE STREET

FORMER RESIDENT DIES AT MILWAUKEE Thomas Ghrlst, 60 years old, a former well known Mishawaka resident, died at his home in Milwaukee, WIs., Friday. The body will be brought to Mishawaka and will be taken to the Finch Undertaking chapel where the funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. J. H. Evans, pastor of the First Evangelical church will officiate. Burial will be in the City cemetery. Mr. Ghrist resided in Mishawaka for a number of years, having left here about 10 years ago. He is survived by his wife who was formerly Miss Lillie Carlisle, and two sons; two sisters. Mrs. William Burkhart and Mrs. Amos Shirk, both of this city.

CENTURY An interesting study of human nature, founded on the popular argument that love is a great leveller of all social barriers, is today's feature picture at the Century theater which is entitled "Society Secrets." The story achieves the unusual feat of driving home a strong moral lesson against snobbery, and at the same time providing admirable entertainment. The picture is interesting because of its human quality, and the fact that it deals with people in wealthy circumstances as well as those less fortunate. The homely, down on the farm atmosphere will appeal to many, while, on the other hand, the society end of the story, will be liked by those who prefer scenes of city life. Eva Novak gives a pretty performance of the girl, while Gertrude Claire and George Berrel are delightful as the old folks. Other pictures on today's excellent program at the Century are "Call of the Blood" a two-reel western thriller; a Century comedy "A Week Off" and the latest International News.

BY W. E. WALLACH. A Happy New Year to every one of you. * * * Be sure and write it 1922. The Hon. William Wallace Dodge, mayor of Mlshawaka. Be sure and don't address him as "your excellency;" he doesn't like it. * * * While we supported him throughout the campaign we sincerely hope he will not adopt the "public be damned policy." Some months ago several of our neighbors. Including Ralph Feig, William Hosford, Ambrose Major and others of equal prominence, sent a petition to the city council praying for a light in the vicinity in which we live. It was ditched because we are told the administration felt that we were In the dark concerning its Iease of power, and that it would be its painstaking endeavor to keep us wrapped in gloom for all time. However, there are no strings tied to us. If the new administration doesn't carry out its promises to the very letter we are going to give it particular Caln-constructlve maybe, but Cain just the same. The city hall ought to make the best newspaper assignment going during the next four years. Eating New Year strawberries is another way of tickling your imaginative faculties. * * * Where are all the good fellows who promised to come to the aid of the fund for a Ford sedan for Mrs. Bauer? When it comes to petty meanness the thief that stole the money from the Salvation Army Christmas box in a north side cigar store, has class. We say this advisedly: Kissing has become such a promiscuous custom nowadays that It is hardly worth while to drape th chandelier with mistletoe. The doctrine of "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," is pretty sound, as a general proposition.

If your check-writing arm Is still suffering from neuritic paralysis, due to overexertion at Christmas time, rub it good with horse liniment and get it into action in time to send in a check toward the car for Mrs. S. N. Bauer. Frank Coats will acknowledge it; the NewsTimes will acknowledge it, and it will be well spent. * * * Now that Christmas is past us, and we did well for the poor and needy of Mishawaka, we would like to know if "For ye have the poor with you at Christmas" is really what the Savior said. Reports from Paris are to the effect that Marshal Foch is getting

tired of his wildcat and pig, presented to him by fool friends in the United States. It was inevitable,

though, that he was to learn we have folks of that kind. The popular sport in Mishawaka

these days is having one's picture in the newspapers. But. didn't that one of Charlie Ostrom tickle you? Whoever saw Charlie smile? * * * Get your eye on the New Year which dawned today, and prepare for a fresh start with a fresher determination. This week is one for sober reflection, and it ought to be no trick to keep sober. Get it into your head that the New-Times costs but 20 cents per week including the Sunday edition, and subscribe NOW. * * * Owing to the hard times, there were fewer Christmas divorces than usual. * * * Oh, well, the days are getting longer and the nights shorter. A minute will have to be clipped off

Jazz three nights a week from now on. "An economist has figured out that a wife is worth $2.59 a day." some one writes. That will not In-

sult the average wife, but she will,

upon reading the item, demand of her husband the $2.50 he is withholding from her. * * * A man who speaks 17 languages

has married a girl prodigy who is

also a linguist. But what use could a married man have with ability to ppeak 17 languages and no opportunity to talk? The allied debt to the United States is $100 for each of our inhabitants. We'd like to have our per capita of it, but it pains us to think of how long our whiskers will be before we'll get It. It is no use for you to be optimistic unless you strive faithfully to have bright visions realized. An optimist who camps on the Hotel Mlshawaka lounge and does nothing

TODAY AND TOMORROW Charles Ray in "The Old Swimmin Hole" One of His Most Popular Pictures. Every happy recollection, every laughing memory of boyhood days, every fight, every prank, every trick that you used to play, is brought back by Charles Ray in his picturization of James Whitcomb Riley's old-home poem, "The Old Swimmin' Hole." It has caught the spirit of the Riley classic; it reflects it throughout six wonderful reels of humor and happiness. HAROLD LLOYD in "SAD SEA WAVES," and a MUTT and JEFF Comedy. TUESDAY BUSTER KEATON in "ONE WEEK" The funniest feature comedy ever shown in Mishawaka. ELMO LINCOLN in "CRIMSON SKIES"

Seven reels of tense dramatic situations.
