Berne will be fifty years old next autumn and plans are being discussed , for a proper celebration of that memorable date. These events are important and always delightful to those who love their home town. It’s an ' opportunity that should not be passed. I The administration is again being' reminded that they have fallen down | on the promise to immediately bring i home the American boys from the Rhine. Perhaps "Kurnel” Harvey; thinks he may need them over there if his partnership with England works out. The death of Jim Hastings, better known to the reading public as Luke McLuke, removes a producer of many snffles. His "bits of by play” were known throughout the country and while many of his jokes bordered on the smutty order he spent his life trying to make people forget their ■troubles. He had his faults but likewise his good qualities and one of these was that he was always on the happy side of the street.

If the result of the election in Marion is to be taken «s a basis, the people do not particularly care for. the commission form of government at this time. There will be a dozen , more elections over the state during the next few weeks but it is predictedl

they will result similarly. The people of this country seem to believe that two great political parties are necessary and that but little improvement can be made as to our form of conducting elections. The people of Marion have certainly spoken and there will probably be no further efforts to enforce the commission government in that city, at least for some time. The wonderful promises made by the republicans during the campaign of 1920 and accepted by the people are not being made good. One of these particularly featured was that

the vast army of employes at Washington used during the war would be disposed of at a saving of millions of dollars to the tax payers. Immediately after the new administration went in last March they used considerable newspaper space in telling the people of the great slash to be made in the list of useless employes. They discharged about five thousand, but they neglect to tell you now that these places have again been filled by the faithful and that a few days ago new offices were created and 572 more men employed. Applicants are told to wait a short time until the public quits demanding a reduction in expenses and they will all be taken care of. It’s the same old game, only worse. All Europe is reported as getting ready for company. American tourist traffic is again in full bloom, steamers are crowded and ticket offices report long waiting lists. The event will mark the return of prosperity for thousands who must regard the coming of the American sightseers much as Elijah awaited the visitation of the ravens. Indeed, inducements which before the war were

thought unnecessary are now being offered to lure the visitors back Lands poetically described as “sunny” but known to travelers as chilly except in the middle of summer, are to be made tolerable in their hotel accomodations; steam heating plants

will supplement the handful of “coals” depended upon to lend expensive cheer to the hotel guest's room. Added to the routine, conventional historic sights, they now have the features of the recent war. What multitudinous places of interest to which the travelers may be guided at so much per guide. What mountains of salable souvenirs the devastated battlefields will yield. Now the very tokens of misfortune will have their compensations in their stimulation of the spirit of mercy and charity. It is well. The scattered gold will help to level exchange. . Pity the sorrows of the republican congressmen charged with the duty of framing the high protective tariff! Strange news comes from Washing ton. It appears that the majority members of the ways and means committee do not in their little nests agree. They differ on questions of I general policy, and are not of one mind in regard to particular rates. Not even as concerns the proposal of Representative Longworth, that new duties shall gc into effect from the date of the introduction of the bill, is there harmony. On the contrary, there is strong dissent. Evidently we are not to witness the beautiful spectacle of protectionist brethren dwelling together in unity. Americans boast of being practical and hard-headed. For years the great argument against even moderate tariff reform in this country was that pretty theories could not stand up against actual facts. But what the actual facts today are demanding cannot be obscure even to the dullest. It is now the protectionist who are clinging to the beautiful hypothesis w’hich is in the way of being killed by the hard fact. The sooner this truth is recognized by the tariff makers at Washington, the sooner will they get themselves out of their scrape and the sooner will the business of the world be relieved from uncertainty and apprehension. It is no longer a mere squabble between rival economic doctrines. The actual situation of the country is indicating the path which should be followed, and doing it so plainly that even the wayfaring protectionist should not err therein. —New York Times.

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Barberry Eradication Work Begun by Men from Purdue University. A rural survey of Adams county has just been started by agents of the U. S. Department of Agriculture to endeavor to find all plantings of the green and purple leaved barberry which may be growing in this county. This work is being carried > on as a part of the national campaign which is being waged in thirteen of the wheat growing states against this ornamental shrub because of the fact that the common barberry is known to spread the black stem rust of wheat. Although the common barberry has not been generally planted, it is much more prevalent than - is generally supposed as shown by * the fact that about 3400 plantings A consisting of some 83,000 bushels I have been found and removed in the state of Indiana alone. Serious outbreaks of wheat rust have been traced directly to plantings of the common barberry in this county as well as in a great many I other counties in the state and the I U. S. Department of Agriculture I hopes and expects to put an end to I the common barberry bushes in the | wheat growing states. A very attractice window display has been placed in the window of the county agriculture agent’s office, consisting of specimens of the common barberry. Further information regarding the purposes of the campaign and the part that the common barberry plays in the spread of the black stem rust may be secured from the county agent of from Mr. R. J. Plaster who is conducting the campaign in Adams sounty. <. I— i ; — i if. A Great Discovery Dr. Leonardt, a western physician, found the cause of Piles to be intern|al.
