Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Citizens of the south part of Adams county have a right to object to a state highway through the north part of the county and they should make such a complaint that the men in authority at Indianapolis will have no doubt as to where they stand. Now is the time. The limit of investigating has arrived. Congress has appointed a committee to “investigate the war investigating committee.’’ Just where we stop in this extravagant, bullying, senseless search for political capital is what many people would like to know-. The nation is sick and tired of the horse playing in the present congress. A few months ago the republican press was putting great stress upon the time used by the members of the peace conference to complete 1 the treaty draft, most important document ever written. Now a repub- 1 lican senate in the United States is devoting more time to useless and silly arguments, pro and con, concerning that treaty than it took to write it. The only explanation made by these statesmen is that "It’s good politics ” The new "valuations and state tax under the tax law r will raise a total of $13,000,000 for the state as compared to $7,800,000 raised last year.

Simple Heme Remedy Advised For Rose And Hay Fever Anyone Can Make a Pint For Trifling Sum and Used In Time May Prevent Annual Attack “No matter how severe your yearly attack be, No matter how distressing or humiliating— Its Intensity can be reduced to a harmless, mildness," says a Kentucky druggist who believes from what he has seen that this simple home made 'emedy Is a most Important discovery. He has seen the most severe and apparently unconquerable cases reduced to what might be called a mild cold In twenty-four hours. In many cases where the patient started treatment a week or ten days i before the expected attack the unwel-' come yearly visitor failed to appear with anything like its usual intensity. People who want to try this new treatment can make a pint In a few minutes. Pour on ounce of Menthollzed Arcine Into a pint bottle then fill the bottle with water that has been boiled. Gargle daily as directed and snuff or spray the nostrils twice daily. That’s all there Is to the treatment which so many sufferers have found to be a true friend.

p says that no city, county or township can raise more money than they had t last year. This little but powerful board boosts their own fund more I. than five million dollars, take that ( sum out of the pockets of the people , * of the state and then refuse to permit i the various local corporations to do 1 anthlng but figure how they can meet J their bills and keen up their credit. .

UIVH Ullin uiiu nccy vtwn. ’ Better get it now boys for you are 1 never going to have another chance. ■ The people will regain control at l the next election. A county which has built nearly eight hundred miles of macadam road by its own efforts, maintained those roads and led in all highway improvements in the state should not be slapped in the face and that’s what we call it if we are not given more roads. Noble county which until a year or -so ago did not have a mile of macadam is given five or ten times as much state highway as Adams county and we pay just as much as they. There are many similar instances. In other words we must under present tentative plans build our own roads and those of the less progressive counties. If this be a sample of state control of affairs, we are opposed to it and so, we believe are a great majority of our people. . - The great majority of the people of this county will agree that our main road is the north and south road through the centre of the county and it seems to us that one of the duties of the highway commission, if they wish to act fairly would be to please the greater number of the people who must pay the taxes. The east and west line through this city is of course an important highway! and we doubt not will within a few j years be improved, if not by the' state, then by this county; but if' this road be selected as the state' road, the south part of the county will receive but little benefit. If the' location of the road was left to Adams county it is certain that the 1 north and south road would be the one designated and the commission I should see that this preference is given. If the road was built to this city and then west to Kingsland, the' east and west road could be con-: structed under the county unit law!

and in a short time the north and south road could be extended to the Allen county line giving us both va north and south and an east and west hard surface road. It is up to the citizens in the south part of the county to aid in securing proper action by the commission. FARMERS AND MERCHANTS MAY CO OPERATE TO CHECK PROJECTS Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 23.—Twentyeight out of 32 stock selling schemes , were branded as worthless by the ShcHiy County Blue Sky committee, which is composed of officers of the county farmers’ association and Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce. This committee was created at the suggestion of County Agent R. G East to pass on the worth of the great numi 1 her of stocks offerea for sale by the ' large number of concerns springing up at the close of the war. (t has continued its work and no one has much of a chance to sell any stock until he has the official O. K. of the] vigilance committee. Prof. G. 1. Christie, superintendent' of agricultural extension department! of Purdue University, declared that j ( many farmers in the state have lost money because of purchasing worthless stork. He recommends that other counties check the sale of the bad stock by working together as the Shelbyville business men and farmers are doing. J NOTICE STOP—At Peterson. LOOK—For a good time.
