' - --- -- - The Democrats in session at Indianapolis ’at least let the klan know where they stand, that Jeffersonian principles are still the most important and that they will not trade them off for votes. Wasn't this a snappy old morning and the beauty of it was it actually hung on throughout the day. About ten more like this would bring a smile to the face of a lot of people who have had their mouths drawn down at the corners for seven weeks. Mayor-elect Duval, of Indianapolis, is dodging the office seekers by touring the state of Illinois. Now some one wants to know if he is staying over there to escape the three-cent gasoline tax, cause there's a lot of hilts in Indiana where he could hide just as well as in the swamps of the sister state. Add your name to the lied Cross ’•oil. We are not much on drives and we have refused a dozen times during the year to support campaigns for raising money but we all believe that the Bed Cross does a valuable work and that they must have funds with which to maintain their organization. The annual canvass for memberships is now in progress and every good man and woman in the county should semi in their dollar. Save the beets anti help do your neighbor and your community a great assistance. The biggest crop in history is ready for harvest. Will we sit by and watch while it goes to waste? A little extra effort, a little ’tai neighborliness, a little desire to serve will make possible the payment of a hundred thousand dollars to the farmers, the employment of three hundred men at the plant and the success of the sugar company and it ail represents a year’s hard work. The most important thing to be settled tomorrow for a lot of sports is whether or not “Red" Grange, the Illinois star, is to be permitted to piay in his closing game against 0.i.0 State. It seems they have a rule tiial no player who has contracted to play professional football can engage' in one of these college games and some fellow over at Kokomo claims to have seen the contract for him to do just that. Grange has a right to make money if he can and we can’t a e just how it effects tomorrow’s game wlie!her he has or not. Much ado about nothing. The seven miles of slate road No. 21. lying north of this city will be open for traffic Sunday, the finishing touches being put on by Ray Harris, contractor today. Its a splendid road, built with a foundation that .hould last a century and finished in such manner that it will continue to improve with use. We believe it a sensible type of road for it uses the foundation built, up by years of maintainence of a macadam road and can he maintained with out delay or detours each year. The improvemen* wiil be extended to Fort Wayne next year according to the plan of the state commission and its the thing to do. Drive over the new road and we are sure you will agree it is an improvement over the old dusty macadam toad and the best thing about it is that it will continue so during hot a>-.d cold weather, rainy or dry. seasow in ahd season out.

Unn Grove and others. in nearly every township during the week, community gatherings have proven a greater interest in school advancement than most of us had an idea existed. We cannot stand still or back up and so we must go forward. We complain about high taxes, about the cost of our schools and yet i. we wouldn’t and couldn’t go back to ■ the standard of twenty years ago. i The schools must go on, must keep ahead of the times. That’s the desire and the life work of Superintendent Striker, of every school head, of every teacher and of every one whe has thought seriously about the subject. I.tfts go on. Lets make the schools of Adams county the best in the world. When we have done that there will be no argument about it— w e will have the best county la the nation. + + + + ♦ + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * +♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦ FRIDAY’S RADIO FEATURES WEAF, New York, 492, 8 p. m.

A three-mill tax proposal for schools’ operating expenses in that district was defeated at the polls in the late election.

And they love her and kiss as gladly, too, So. I'm paying this tribute as best 1 can To the glorious spirit of Mary Ann.
