Reddig and Harry Narr. conductor and fireman respectively, of the same train. Little of the details of the accident, however, were given out and it is believed that the investigation will be continued in an effort to verify reports to the effect that the trains were out of regular order in so far as operation on opposite tracks is concerned. Surviving Mrs. Franks are three daughters, ' Mrs. Edna Eowes, of Mishawaka; Mrs. E3- * Ben Vanderburg, of Ligonier, and Mrs. Eph Sabinter. of near Albion.

COMPETITION KEEN 11 Indianapolis, Dec. 31.—Com-’ petition among road builders for contracts bn stat? projects has become so keen the highway department may save several .hundred thousand dollars on next vear’s prog: am. according to John D. Williams, director. There are so many contrac- s tms bidding on the projects far' 1924 in Indiana that they are cutting their prices to the low-1 cst possible figure, Mr. Williams' declared. In most instaneesj the bids ate far below the estimates of the commission's owni ?n ineers. It has been estimated by the| dei artment that approximately r 575.0<)0 was saved by the state in the first® bidding, opened sev'rafy da vs ago on eighty-th rec miles f pavement and twentyflvr miles of trading and other ninor work. One hundred and twenty-, n? bids were received ‘ <» nr ; ects. With competition so keen, and the work attr’cting many of the. best builders in the United States, a low figure is the result. Mr. Williams said. —2 0 . TAX-EXEMPT SECURITIHS Beth Dem*crats aad Republicans admit the evil of tax-ex-empt bonds and securities. Just what administration is responsible for the act is* beside the question and does not remedy ♦he situation. 4t is an evil that should be corrected without delay. \ Secretary Melton recommends and President Coolidge indorses a constitutional amendment as the remedy. The Investment Bankers’ Association is sqlidly ’behind the suggestion, with the full knowledge that it would take several years to get it thru ;and even then it probablj would not affect bonds issued by states. Meanwhile the exempt bonds will continue to flow at the rate now said to be " billion dollars a year. * There is a short way of reachjmg not only Federal but State I issues. It may not bring bonds already issued under taxation but it will stop future issues. The mass of the people have but little patience with the cry for abolition of the surtax while surplus earnings are invested in tax-exempt securities that • the small investor never gets a Jhanc* to buv. oBIG FIRE AT FORT WAYNE Teeper Bras. department store at Fort Wayne was damjaged about $300,000 by fire of I undetermined origin Tuesday, s t The fire was on the third and fourth floor and the building was floods, with all the fire ighting apparatus of the city pouring streams of water on the flames. oB. & O.

LAPLANDER’S RICHES ARE FIG I RED IN RE!N D r.EK Never ask a Laplander how many reindeer he owns, is the initial bit of advice Dr. W. H. Gyntt, of Baltimore, has offered travelers who wander oft the beaten path and invade the primitive territory occupied by the Laplanders. This question is equivalent to asking an American the size of his salary, or the extent x>f his* holdings in stocks and bonds. Riches with the Laps are measured in reindeer. Some few of them, the Henry Fords of the Artic circle, have as many as 3,000 animals, but they dislike talking about their wealth. Sweden has protected the Laps against invasion and exempted them from taxation so they are able to on their life in Northern Sweden much as their ancestors did centuries a go. Their villages are extremely primitive and mobile. Families follow their flocks into the mountains in the summer and wander again into the lowlands in the winter. One elderly Laplander told Dr. Gyn*t with great prble that he 1 sc a ?on liv ng in Aawjnea whe recently eloped with .an extremely wealthy girl and married here. The young’Laplander was serving as chauffeur when he and his employer’s daughter became enamoured of each other and found an accommodating justice of peace before the °ngry father caught up with them. —o , — . , The generation-old soap manufacturing concern, the B.

Slowly but surely, the business interests of this country producing, manufacturing and selling, are being consolidated under co-operative methods. And in no line has greater strides been made than in the .publishing business, where two concerns today own a list of publications that practically control public sentiment. o ——— .

DIED OF WOUNDS David William Schrader, 49, well known farmer of Union township, Whitley county, died Thursday in the woods a half mile from his home, having been shot above the right knee an hour before by a hunting companion. Glenn Oliver. The latter stumbled and fell as he * was shooting a rabbit. The charge entered Schrader's leg. The victime bled to death . Oliver ran tc- the Schrader home for assistance. Efforts were made to stop the flow of blood, nothing but a piece of , suspender being available. Schrader was placed in a buggy, and died on the way to his home. After being shot, Schrader exclaimed: ‘Tm .done for, send for help,’’ and immediately lapsed into unconsciousness. €> ■ BUSY 194,000 YEARS There •were enough telephone' calls in the United States! during 1922 to keep one line “busy’* at 3 minutes per call for 104,000. years. .- . o For sale bills go to the Journal office.
