Strange DeUiI Fish Is FaUOrite
Tale of Matrices at Lake ManitOu

The devil ash, from which Lake
Manitou is said to have been named,
has long been the legendary morsel
which natives of Rochester loved to
repeat to themselves-bu more es-
pecially to visitors.
The devil" fish is. supposed to
inhabit the lake. Weird tales of it's
prowess, size, and activities are
Rochester's contribution to the leg
ends of the world.
Just use the imagination, or bet
ter still, take a weekend trip to
Rochester and hear for yourself
some of the wonders of the devil
fish.
A Typical HoOsier Town
The town of Rochester is a typi-
cal Hoosier town.
The inhabitants are especially
proud of their courthouse. But Lake
Manitou is the main attraction. The
lake is about three miles from
Rochester. There is plenty of fish
ing. swimming and boating there.
Two roads, little choice between
either, go to Rochester from Indian
apolis. Take the Hills and Lakes
road through Noblesville to Wabash.
From Wabash take State road No. Z
to Peru and State road No. to
Rochester.
The Road Back Home
On the way back you can take
State road No. Is, which is the
Michigan road out of Indianapolis,
go through Logansport, south
through Boyleston and Kirklin into
Indianapolis.
Two slight detours are on this
road. one at Logansport, the other at
Boyleston. Neither is bad enough
nor long enough to cause any worry.
OF course, it's possible to take the
trip in the other direction.

Where Cooperation Counts
By OSCAR SCHMIDT.

The person who invests his savings
in a saving and loan association is
an exponent of the highest ideals of
financial 5terprise. and he is also
protecting the interests of his family
by making a perfectly safe invest
ment. and he is benefiting himself by
securing an exceptionally good divi-
dend
The small savings accounts of a
thrifty family are as welcome as the
life savings of a retired business man.
Deposits are subject to withdrawal
and always represent a first claim
against the assets of the association.
Many a working man is depositing
his savings ina saving and loan as
ISOLATION with the goal in mind that
when his savings reach a certain fig
ure he may borrow the balance neces-
sary to build himself home. Thus.
after his money Nhas helped another
he may in turn call for assistance.
The savings and loan association IS
the only financial institution in the
country devoting its resources ex-
cIusively to that noble end-the build
ing up Of home communities. When
it is considered that there is over
800, 100000 invested in savings and
loan associations in the State of In
diana, of which more than $4,000. 900
is in various associations in Marion
County, nearly every dollar of which
is loaned to purchasers of homes. ii
clearly indicates that there is no safer
or better place to invest your money.

Anti-V accination

To the Editor Of The Times
Does some honest believer In inocu-
lations want to earn 800?
The Anti-Vaccination Society, 90 e.
Park ST., Newark, n. J., offers this
sum to any one who will show and
prove smallpox has ever increased in
any community where vaccination for
smallpox has been discontinued.
There was a time when I believed
in this sort of thing; I did not know
what the serums were made Of nor
did l know of the torturing and mu-
tilating Of living animals in order to
get the poisonous stuff. It was about
seven years ago that I had some in
jected into one of my arms and I. have
worn a FOOLS badge ever since. My
arm is partially paralyzed at inter
walls and at all times has a lump
about the size Of a small hens egg,
colored black blue and green, looking
as if ready to burst and often feeling
that way. The doctor earned 81 $25
in a short time. What is my crippled
arm to him? And the ailment for
which the serum was injected is I'M
abated. MRS. @. M. MYERS.

81 ri HIRTY per cent of postal en-
loyes living in Indianapolis
LII working for Uncle Sam in
railway mail cars lose their fifteen
day vacations every year
And this, according to one railway
clerk who told The Times how the
government stole" his vacation away
from him under the guise of EFF
cheney" is only a low estimate.
Four hundred and thirty men IN
Indianapolis serve the Government In
railway mail work A little army of
loyal workers, at that, but one which
is almost rising in righteous rebellion
at the methods which have deprived
them of their guaranteed rights.
1t Was Great Idea"
Listen to the story that one railway
mail clerk tells:
Our runs are divided into eight
hour days, you know. The law states
that we shall not work more than that
time, which is a good thing, of course
81 have a run from Indianapolis
to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh and back.
According TO the rules, however, m
not allowed any expenses for my work
until I've been out on the run ten
hours. All my expenses in a twenty
four-day must be only So maximum.
We want a SO day maximum
I'm 1920 the solicitor general got a
great idea for efficiency. When the
1917 law was passed the word "calen-
dar' was stricken from our fifteen day
vacation guarantee So he divided the
day up into sixteen-m minute periods.
Can Do What They Please
IF my train runs fast or slow. or
IL there is a shortage of time in the
six hours and forty minutes, which is
designated as our working day, one
hour and twenty minutes being re-
served for home study with our hun
dreds of cards and all that, why the
time short is taken from my fifteen
day vacation.
That's the reason have my vaca-
ton stolen away from me every year.
They can cut down your unloading
time at stations, or do what they
please to get the result"
What is hell" to the letter carrier

The Politician
By BERTON BRALEY

By BERTON BRALEY
On, he hates to take the onus
OF the bonus,
When the payer of the taxes has
his say,
But he fears the fierce besiegin'
OF the Legion
If he doesn't vote bonus right
away.
So the shifty politician
With ambition
Lives a life that's not exactly light
and gay.
He Is strong for isolation
OF the nation,
When the Anti-Leaguers howl
about intrigue"
But-"Some problems European
We must be in
So he murmurs TO supporters of
the League.
And troubled politician
With ambition
Has a job that often fills him with
fatigue.
He must seek to be a charmer
To the farmer,
With an eye upon the voters of the
town;
He must show a trend progressive
(Not excessively
Giving no one any chance to pin
him down;
So the willy politician
With ambition
Must, in private, pretty often wear
q froWn.
For it makes a man ske-daddle
Just to straddle
On half a dozen issues of the day.
When he may find to his sorrow
That tomorrow
He must try to do a flop the other
way;
So shifty politician
With ambition
Has a life that's nearly anything
but gay.

Law Enforcement

To the Editor Of The Times
I have read your editorial Blue
Law Set Back"
The first question that comes to
my mind is, how large is the list OF
laws in the State of Indiana, that
does not now have popular support
as suggested in your article? Have
you stated a true and righteous
proposition when you say, public
opinion is the link between the pub
jio and law enforcement?
Cannot you well say the same thing
as TO the Heron. Ill, massacre or
any other persistent violation Of the
law and the almost universal escape
Of the lawbraaker from punishment?
The reference you have made to
customs that were condemned fifty
years ago per ain TO moral questions
anG not to violation Of a. fixed and
statute law. If we have laws on the
statute books that are not right and
contrary to the real experience of
our people as to what is best in the
Government of the people as a whole,
they should be repealed and not dis
OD9Y0d, IOT the tuSODSOlSI4O0 Va AAN'
even in a republic, is anarchy pure
and simple II Is not necessary at
this time to argue as to the right or
wrong Of this particular law that has
been violated. It is enough that
more than twenty business men ac-
knowledge that they had violated the
law and insist that they go IN
p1nished"
What Is the next law that the
people viii refuse to obey and the
pubic will insist should not be en-
forced" Has it come to pass in this
country that the law furnishes TO
protection even to private property
and the owner Of such property must
go to insurance companies for his
own protection?
Win you please quote one word
from 'The Man Of Ga1ilee' where
he coumseIed any one to violate the
simplest law of his own land or OF
any land?
