Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Few persons will believe that congress has saved any money until it can be counted in the treasury. If the price of wheat goes up G. O. I’. mouth organs in congress will credit the tariff, but if it goes down where will the blame be placed? Babe, Ruth, "pinched" again for speeding, should begin to realize that hurrying around the bases and on city streets are different matters. High tariff advocates in the senate should begin preparing an alibi for use when the emergency tariff fails to life the country by the bootstraps This is a live community. Next conies the Fourth celebration at the park, the auction school, Chautauqua and the big fair. There is always something doing in Adams county. The dinner bell is an advertising medium and it always gets results because it tells a welcome story. In this there is a moral for every advertiser. Make your announcement appetizing and quick action is sure. Among the buyers of cattle at the Fonner and Priddy Hereford sale here yesterday were William Randolph Hearst, the famous newspaper man. Governor Warren T. McCray, a famous stock man and Senator Camden of Kentucky, all of whom were represented by agents. A few sales like this would put us on the map. The approaches to the north bridge should be safe guarded now, before an accident has happened rather than after. It is claimed that for years the people living in Pueblo talked of plans to prevent the disastrous flood which finally came with a terrible toll of lives and property. Why do we put off doing those things which safe guard the lives of people? Keeping up the pearly 800 miles of macadam road in Adams county is a whale of a job and to many seems somewhat expensive. Already this year we have spent about $50,000. It looks like a lot of money but pro rated it is a small amount per mile. If the money was spent on maintainence of a road from here to New York city, the same distance, we would think it a very slight expenditure and it is.

Buy a Willard Perhaps you’re too busy for battery details. All you want to know is that the battery you buy will give service. What’s the answer? Buy a Willard Threaded Rubber Battery. The plates in it are insulated not merely separated. Threaded Rubber Insulation doesn’t warp, crack, check, puncture or carbonize. It outlasts the battery plates. Get a line on the actual saving Willard Threaded Rubber Insulation makes possible. Drive around. HOLTHOUSE GARAGE Willard Batteries

T In passing the garbage ordinanci on first reading and the ordinance t< regulate peddling in this city, th< D. council followed the desires of th. Jr public whom they are serving ant o- your careful consideration of these 'J important laws now pending should be given. Read the ordinances over and if you have suggestions or objec:s tions, make them at the next meeting • of the council. The members wish 0 s to serve you and will do so if you ® give them your cooperation. Other 5 0 wise it is difficult to do so. 0 , - Senator Penrose denies that there are serious differences between himself and President Harding. Os '. course. All that Penrose said was: "I don't think it makes much differt ence who is secretary of state. Congress will blaze the way in foreign affairs —particularly the senaite. It won't take a program from the secre- ( tary of state or anybody else.’’ Things would have come to a pretty pass if a president should have resented being waved aside" for a senatorial hand. What’s a smile worth? Out in Kausas City the other day a jury awarded an accident victim, $20,000, because the face muscles that make a smile were paralyzed. This is the first time that the value of a smile has been put into terms of dollars. We have often wondered what it was worth and now the precedent is established. Just remember that along with your other assets you have the power to smile and that in an average life time that power alone is worth $20,000 and then use it. Are we all getting full value ant of our smile muscles? i Alvin T. Hert, leading republican politician of the country, died suddenly in the Willard hotel at Washington last evening, the result of a stroke of apoplexy. Tobe Hert, as he was know-n, was an Indiana product, learned the game of politics in this state and later moved to Kentucky where he became the national committeeman. He was one of the five managers of the party during the last campaign and was mentioned for a place in tjie cabinet and for a foreign diplomatic job. He was very wealthy and a recognized power in many ways. v Six cities voted on the question of changing their form of government from the old style to the city commission and but one of them decided to make the plunge. That was Michigan City. Anderson, Kokomo, Muncie, New Albany and Princeton voted to stick to the old plan and in all the cities the vote was decisive. The Rian sounds fairly good until you get to figuring the cost and the power given one man and the experience of most of the cities in other states where the plan has been tried and then the campaign doesn’t usually last long. Michigan City will be the first in Indiana to try the plan under the new law and the results will be ! watched with much interest.

The Former Stock Farm sale of cattle yesterday, pure blood Herefords, was a success and one more step of progress for Messrs. A. J. Smith and Will P. Schrock who have worked for years to establish a herd of cattle, unexcelled anywhere and unmatched in but few places. It is predicted that by the efforts of these and other men who devote their time and money to establishing pure bred live stock, this county will soon become one of the best in all the middle west. There is no doubt that the farmer who raises blooded stock realizes more for his efforts after the first few years. We are glad the sale was a successful one and one of the most encouraging facts as a result is that a dozen head of the splendid cattle will remain in Adams county.

That's what everybody gives us. We get it in the papers. we get in on the streets, we get it off the stage and last but not least it is sanctimoniously elucidated from the pulpit. The profiteer is very wind) but no more, so than the laborer. Every, worldly cuss is out expounding morality to such a monotonous degree that the edar old world is getting case-hardened. Wind! Wind!

Wages aro coming down and thousands are out of a job and those who have work want to play bull or go to the races. lx»t's diagnose this disease. What's the cure for this malady? Can we over stump ont this epidemic of “Winditis"? Nothing but good hard 'work und more self-denials with less advice and less wind. This old country isn’t going on the “rocks" just because we are a bunch of lazy, popeyed pygmy-minded bone-heads sitting helplessly by waiting to be served with that promised dish of "Normalcy"—but again let me impress upon your minds, people, this everlasting wind-jamming und running off at the head must cease us well as this universal pessimism sweeping our country today. Blow, blow, blow! Confound such blabbering and bragging—but 1 must not let the wretched und deplorable ’ condition of our country get the better of my philanthropic nature so 1 guess to make thing more pleasant I'll go and dip some bait —thunder with hoeing weeds or painting the house —I can do that next week or I hire it done. No, as I said before, the most of I these here people are bone-heads and I milk-sops but in spite of it all way I down deep I still love the oid tri-col- I ored Old Glory and the country which I it represents. And as long us the I mountains stand and our government I represents the majority of free and I liberty-loving people the UNITED I STATES OF AMERICA shall stand I unrivaled as the greatest country lull al! the world —for windjamming.
