On the film you can’t tell the waters

The allies1 western drive has not yet
broke any speed limit but with Mon

King Constantine may get the Nobel
peace prize yet if lie accepts the

It is to be hoped that all nations

An exchange observes, “Various
theories are ottered for the recent
advances In the high cost of living
but our own pet theory is that it Is
due to the closoug of the Panama
canal some months ugo. You remem

Neither do we."
They are fighting over there evary

Grant and is short on talk but long

The calendar crop for next year
is very small. A good many who
ordinarily raise them didn't plant any
at all depending as usual on their
neighbors to produce their customary
quota. Some years calendars are far
too plentiful and make it hard to get
about in offices and homes. Then
again there is a dlrth, as this season,
which makes it hard to know when
Washington's birthday and Fourth of
July will come.

When they get tired of fighting they
will be glad to quit and then they
tun hint to him that they would like

People who think the tnillenlu

the poor devils in the Joliet peui
UcUury who wanted a drink so badly
that they distilled the alcohol out of
slelluc und either died or went blind
or something just as bad. A few
mugs of beer would probably have
satisfied their craving Just as well aa
wood ulcohol did. Those who prate
of the milleuium may have their dates
mixed.
INDIANA authors
Indiana has been celebrating its
centennial year und checking up Its
accomplishments, and its remarkable
literary record has not been over
looked. The state has been most pro
lific in the yield of men who can
write well. At the i’anama-l’acific
exposition were exhibited 15,000 vol
umes of miscellaneous product from
the pens of Hoosier scribes, a most
impressive sight. Whatever the
cause, no slate in the Union has been
able to show a like record of literary
attainment.
Sundry anthologies have given em
phusis to the author as an indinun
product, und the record is fairly com
plete. There are few Americana who
have not hud opporiunity to be in
formed us to the stale's most remark
able product.
It is now proposed that this posi
tion In American accomplishment be
given exploitation through pugcuntry
und purude and special celebrations,
a commercializing of the inspiration
that has animated the Indiana pen,
and a proceeding not indorsed by
those who have brought such credit to
the state.
Indeed, no pageantry is necessary
for Indiana authors; they speak for
themselves through their product
The 15,000 volumes of native genius
are exhibit A la any presentation of
the state's resources. No brass bands
or parades are needed. When Indi
ana’s name is mentioned it is not
thoughts of corn or hogs or packing
houses that are involved, but the
state’s chief product—authors.
HEALING AND RELIGION
The New York court of appeals hxs
