I. Christie of Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station in an address opening th<e extension workers conference at Purdue Monday. The ’’Perfection" brand bread was a product from Indiana wheat, and one feature of the conference was the culmination of the campaign started some months ago by the extension department for the use of Indiana grown products by Indiana people. Speaking in Selma at the outset of the campaign, at a meeting attended by members of the Muncie Kiwanis Club, Direchr Christie insisted that home grown products should be utilized first, before consumers restored to shipping into the state the products of other states. Harry D. Singer, Muncie baker, who was in the audience at the Selma meeting, conceived the idea of adopting the plan advocated as a home project and the result was the loaf of bread that is known as “perfection" baked from wheat grown in Delaware and surrounding counties. The bread showed up as good as that made from widely advertised flours and attracted a great deal of favorable comment from extension workers and also from farm men and women who were in for the meeting. . o FIRE AT YELLOWBANKS Fire, which was discovered about 11:30 o’clock Sunday night, destroyed three fine cottages and the billiard hall at Yellowbanks on Webster Lake with a loss estimated at about SIB,OOO. The , buildings which were burned to the ground were located just west of the Yellowbanks Hotel and included the sixteen-room hotel annex, owned by Fred Watkins, hotel proprietor; a cottage and billiard hall -owned by A. O. Stout, of Muncie and a cottage owned by Cash Bruce, of Elwood. A cottage, owned by Wayne Leeson, of Elwood, was badly damaged and a cottage belonging* to O. R France, was threatened and somewhat damaged. The cause of the fire is not definitely known. o —■ THE ROOKSTOOL ROAD The Seaman Construction Co. has a force at work building berms on the Rookstool road, the Lincoln highway connection with Lake Wawasee. Laying of concrete over about 25 feet on the ' sink hole south of Cranberry hill has been deferred until spring. A culvert will be placed at that location. It is expected the Rookstool road will be open to general traffic within two weeks.

The output is so large the law libraries cannot house it,-the lawvers cannot digest or assimilate it. It is said to be a fact that the 48 state legislatures enact more laws than are even proposed by five great nations. The ratio before the war was fifty new laws in our country to one by jmy great nation of Europe. It takes 650 large volumes to hold in printed form the Sunreme Court opinions on questions of constitutionality. The law library of Columbia University contains 100,000 volxxmes and increases at rate .of 8,000 a year. ; Why not stop manufacturing so many laws, try enforcing some of them and repeal some of the others? A smaller legislative output would be an evidence of political sanity. GALLERY ADDED Vause Polen has added a gallery (also known as nigger heaven) in the Oakland Theatre.

THE SMALL TOWN PAPER AND THE CHURCH The individualism of rural thinking has been universally , recognized, and it is this attitude |of mind that has produced much of the strength of character that goes to hold our citizenship ture to early ideals when modern city life seems to put religion in the background. While the effective rural church, as a socialising agency, has a commanding position, and the school, modern in equipment and in Spirit, adds greatly to the formation of character, and influence of the home newspaper should not be overlooked as an important factor. Daily and weekly newspapers have wide circulations among rural people and furnish a source of penetrating and persistent social influence. Their appeal is to human interest, and no agency more successfully socializes. The home newspaper affords a mental connection with distant places and prevents the stagnation that comes from concentration upon the interests of the day and neighborhood, for it draws the attention of the reader into the world of business. If it invites some to the city—as it certainly does—it also makes the country and the home town a more satisfying and safer environment for those who remain. The home newspaper is *a great gregarious meeting place of the minds of men, and therefore it serves to develop association in a most intense and lasting manner, for it brings the leaders of country districts into fellowship with the thinking of urban men of influence. The value of the home paper increases as it more and more broadens its field of information and keeps just ahead of its people, because the editor talks, to congregations much lar-|

ger than any church gathers, and often larger than all churches combined. Observing business men have said they can tell the history, ambition and future of a com*munity by the appearance of its paper. it is true. In small communities the press and the pulpit are the leaders, and moulders of opinions, of character, of civic pride, and social as well as business advancement. Both must keep .ahead of the procession or get .stepped on for times are changing with marvelous rapidity. What sufficed h decade ago is a back number today. Small communities, small newspapers, small churches and small business are engaged in a fight for existence—and the hope of the nation, as well as of the community, lies in their winning the fight. But it means earnest, hearty, loyal co-operation, and tA* community that gives it will survive _o WHAT RELATIONSHIP? ST.
