Wasn't that, a hue old rain? It camo just when it was needed. The crops are coming fine and a little more nerve, a little more work for a little while longer will pull us all out of the hole which we dropped into when the trip to “normalcy” began. Smile and work and hope. Everything is coming out alright. It was dark and stormy last night but the street lights were working splendidly. The only report to the contrary came from south Fornax street, where the arc at the corner of Kugg and Fornax was dark. They need light there and if the arc doesn't work, an incandescent or’ two will correct it. We commend the employes of the light plant and the officials for the efforts being made to better light tho city. The service last night was best for some time and showed that the men desire to give the service. Just a few new lights here and there and keeping the old ones in trim, will give us splendid lighting. The people want it and will give due credit to those who provide it. So far no effort has been made to guard the approaches to the north bridge, a dangerous spot for motorists, especially those coming from the north. The road is now a part of the state highway system and it seems to be up to the officials of that organization to order the improvement and this should be promptly done. If they can’t or won’t do it, then the county should look after this before

There’s no substitute for Camel quality and that mild, fragrant Camel blend. The fellow who smokes Camels, wants Camels. That’s because Camels have a smoothness, a fragrance and a mildness you can’t get in another cigarette. Don’t let anyone tell you that any other ' cigarette at any price is so good as Camels. Let your own taste be the judge. Try . Camels foryonrself. A few smooth, refreshing puffs and you’d walk a mile for a Camel, too. vW - ' tj. «cv« SET w sßf? lrBi“ m— — \ Ttl IE. <s• REYNOLDS Tobacco C». |g« ; Wg Winston-Salem, N. C. f ■ ■ ’ # ’ :

an accident occurs. In the meantime be careful. It seems to be well settled that Lew Shanks is to be the next mayor of Indianapolis but his selection will by no means be unanimous and the results will be four years of quarreling and bickering and trading, an administration that will injure the Capitol city, will not do the state any good and will react against those who vote him into office. The people of that city should forget politics long enough to protect their own best interests.

The emergency tariff law is now up to the president and the men in congress declare they will put over the Fordney measure within a short time A tariff of thirty-five cents on wheat offered as a sop to the fanners will injure the market for that product because forty per cent of American wheat is sold abroad. The farmer needs assistance but not the kind which only pretends to assist. It’s the old idea of protecting a lot of undeserving industries to help a few de-' serving lines. Wait and sed. The Adams County Witness, aftei admitting that they are responsible, for the editorials in the Literary Digest and other natonal publications and intimating the same class, proceeds to explain that what they meant by saying "We fought on the wrong side” was that It’s time for “the seat warmers to go to work and work hard.” We don't just see the connec-; tion but as the Witness usds a col-’ umn to apologize and' explain, we haven't any doubt that it’s sufficient. About every one we know of who can get a job under the ‘‘normalcy program” are working as hard as they can and if the haters of Woodrow Wilson will provide employment, we agree that the “seat warmers” ought to get busy and we believe they will. Fred seems to be meeting himself coming back. President Harding has made some statements concerning the necessity of retrenchment in the expenses of the government which will meet the approval of the public. As he says to do this will require tremendous courage and a stony hearted devotion

to public interest. The tax payers of the country will welcome any action that will reduce overhead, even the politicians will approve of the doctrine until it begins to hurt. Each senator and congressman will agree that the words expressed by Mr, Harding are the 'sentiment which please the public and they will agree until he begins to knock off some of their ward heelers now holding jobs or wanting to hold them. Thon the fur will fly and the president will be called about everything on the calendar. It will take real courage and we doubt if any man has enough of that quality to make the threat recently made by the president become a reality but it's perfectly alright for him to try it.

M. Georges Carpentier, said to be a polished French boxer, but who may not now be as polished as he will be before his return, has reached, these shores to contend with Jack Dempsey, an American heavyweight. Each is the champion of his class in his part of the globe. The proposal is to let them battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. All this is as it is. And all will remain as it is just sodong as no effort is made to persuade the public that these men are anything but what they are: two professional pugilists. Let it rest there. Immediately before the Toledo affair a careful publicity campaign pictured Jack Dempsey as a carefree lover of the open road, a romantic soul, an unpolished diamond whom fortune would never spoil and. the luxury of effete civilization never lure. But the public generally soon came to the conclusion that Dempsey! was a tough bird who packed a terri tic punch, and let it go at that. Now again the public is being fed slyly with stuff designed to gild these lilies of the squared circle. Mr. Dempsey’s harsher characteristics are being soft ened into a careless gentility. M. Carpentier is introduced elegantly as a gentleman who steps from his dress suit into his fighting togs, and finishes up the day exchanging intellectual repartee with the haute-monde. Perhaps he does. And perhaps he doesn't. But this at least can be said. Mr. Carpentier is not attracting a vast throng who wish or expect to see him in his dress suit; and the

same throng is not coming to witness Mr. Dempsey trifle with the roadside violet. They are hired to tight. Why hot let them remain prize-fighters?
