Sam Kozer, who must retire due to constitutional limitations, has been a most efficient and business-like secretary of state. No one could lietter continue that efficiency than Mr. IIoss. He is trained for business, not for politics will therefore be more acceptable to busi ness men, less to politicians.

Duffy, farmer of Pulaski county, Indiana, has presented President Coolidge .with, the deed, to a 176-acre 011 ; ion farm in that county. Taxes and mortgage interest were due and Mr. Duffy explained that he found it impossible to ; faim at a profit under present conditions, that the new own ; f" should exercise extreme efficiency or he would get deeper i into debt. AVhich, although resembling a practical joke on i the president, will give Mr. Coolidge an opportunity to be come intimately acquainted with agiiculturul problems if he io chooses. The inability to show profits is no joke from Mr. Duffy's standpoint, and it is possible that the gift may not be. If Cal should happen to operate the onion faim and ex ercise the same New England economy that has leon evi dent previously in his private affairs, the venture might piove highly profitable. Not all the onion farms in the country are going broke, we assume, and Mr. Duffy's might become the rule rather than the exception. lbs. lip), medium. $10.2541 I 1.7b: do tali weights), common. $S.75''I la.1'5; heifers, good (85(1 lbs. down), $ 111 'ii Ki.50: do common to medium.

Fell. 7 (Al') I". "Luckies never cut my wind" says Billy Burch, Captain of N. Y Amerieans, Hockey Team A NTH KM KTIQl'KTTK A pt'itiirhcd radio fan wants to know what to do wIhmi "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played in a radio program. If lie remains seated, he says, he feels guilty of a breach of eti quette. - If he stands up, he feels like a fool, especially if he happens to Ik? at the dinner tabic, or if there are cynical fiiends present. Something seems to tell us, though the perturbed fan doesn't, that if he is alone with that accusing radio set in the dead of night, when fiiends have gone home and the family has gone to U-d, he leans back in a comfortable chair, with his feet on a stool and a smoke in his mouth, and lets that u'ooming band play without any qualms. His conscience Jocsn't bother him, at least not much, except in company. It's much the same with flag ceremonies. A person can :e quite as patriotic all by himself as in a crowd, but some :ow he feels obliged to act differently in the crowd. There re two kinds of conscience, the solitary conscience and the ccial conscience. Possibly this great problem can't be solved satisfactorily, Kher for solitude or society. There arc some tasks too treat for the human intellect. The pei-plexed radio fan might sage Emily Post and Admiral Plunkett. f "iit lit- ."i.iHMt;. fi'tl Ktrrr' trmiu falrty uillvo, supply hardly larso fnouffh to nu'rt rciilit'iiirntA; trade taily to Hfic higher; uctive aitrl uiu'Wiily hihT trale on HKht yt'jirllriKs; oIIht rfatwcji firm: lnrRe ly n!rcr run. kimli wiling ut I 4.
