THEATRE OWN ER ACQUITTED Frank Parish, manager of the Com us Theatre at Milford, was on trial Wednesday of last week in the Kosciusko Circuit Court on a charge of violating the Indiana “blue law” which prohibits the operation of a motion picture show on Sunday. He was acquitted by the jury. The jury which decided the case was composed of representative citizens, most of whom i are men of mature years and of I high standing in various parts of the county. Not a member of the jury admitted that he ever attended a picture show on Sunday and few if any ever attended shows. Mr. Parish was tried on a similar charge .during the last term of court and was found guilty by a jury and assessed a l fine of $lO. Operation/of the show dn Sunday , however, has continued ever since and numerous charges have been filed against his wife and employees of the theatre.

WHY WK ARE RIUH It is doubtful if any of the various reasons advanced for the constant increase in this country’s wealth are more pertinent than the results of a study recently made by the Census Bureau on the average industrial output per worker. The study showed that in 1925 each worker was responsibly for an output of $7,479 worth of goods, the total output having been 62,706,000,000. Both figures were new high records, anld though no similar studj’ was i made for 1926 it is thought the results were little different, despite lower commodity prices. Industrial output per worker has grown steadily in recent years, and shows an enormous gain over pre-war production, even allowing for decline in value of the dollar. In 1909 average output per worker was only $3,125 worth of goods, which left a far smaller surplus after deducting cost of production. NO ELIXIR OF LIFE The story \of some fountain of youth is all the bunk, says Mayo Brothers, the famous physicians. The only way to live long, they THI us. is to take care of ourselves. " Well, we’ve known that tik a long time. But it doesn’t hurt anything to have the big Mayos tell us again.
