Entered at the postofflee at Decatnr. Indiana, as second-class matter. Colonel Harvey made a Fourth of July speech in London and proved why the revolution should not have been fought. He seems to think it a difficult job for Englund and America to get together on every subject and he has accidently guessed that statement right. Few want tiiat condition and most Americans are giving it but little thought. Now that Harvey has cleared up everything from the World War to the Revolution, why not bring him home? •aMMMWMMMMSaMaMVHMSM Senator Watson of Georgia voted against William Howard Taft as chief justice on the grounds that Taft is a corporation man, has had too many jobs, went back on Roosevelt and committed a number of serious offenses against his political religion. The people would have given more weight to the act if it had come from some one other than Watson, who is a renegade politician. It’s an unusual season in this country that don’t some way break ail records but this one seems to be working over time.

It extracts the last atom of energy from a gallon of gasoline and delivers only care-free, untroubled mileage. Its first cost is amazingly low—only $1635 since the reduction in June. And, with the “Glenbrook”, first cost is last cost because it is blessed with a constitution that defies the repair shop. It will pay you to adopt this stout-hearted light six. You can buy it with absolute confidence because it is at rock bottom in price and peak position in quality.

It was a sane and safe observation of the Fourth and there were less accidents yesterday than ever recorded in th:., country. It is not necessary to shoot an arm off or permit an innocent child to meet death from some explosive, to demonstrate our patriotism. Did some one say some thing about the weather? Well, whatever they said about it being hot is true. We would believe any story about the mercury running over and even that fellow who predicted a cold wave for Monday night is in the same class with the fellow who guessed on Carpentier. Keep on smiling und don't over eat and you will get through it some how. There is a promise of a breath of air tomorrow. Dempsey is still the champion list fighter of the world. We wouldn’t care for his title but he demonstrated Saturday his right to it with whatevA honor it carries. A most noticeable part of the result is the fact that the crowd gave Dempsey LqII credit for his victory over a real man they did not give him a single cheer as he left the ring but they did applaud the Frenchman. The American people admire first, a man. Several thousand New Yorkers had the courage yesterday to parade for several hours as a protest against the eighteenth amendment Os such courage heroes are made for a man who would drag around yesterday for the flag even was brave but the fellow who did it tor a lost cause or a schooner of beer had more desire than most of us. A hundred thousand won second prize by standing on the sidewalk and cheering. Might

Are Combating Chinch Bugs (Continued fromt page one) which mature now will lay eggs in 4 few days for the next brood. A spray which is very successful in killing the bugs now on the corn can be made by using one fluid ounce of •’Blackleuf 40” to 4 gallons of water in which lias been dissolved two cubit inches of common soap. This spray will not kill the corn. Oil sprays should not be used to kill the. bugs on the corn, as they also kill the corn. Many farmers are not yet aware of the fact that the creosote barrier will hold the bugs very effectively, or more would make arrangements to keep bugs from escaping from uncut barley into the corn. Due to the fact that the barrier can be constructed comparatively quickly, and that one gallon of the creosote will make one application for a distance of 40 rods, the method can be said to be economical. In cases wheft* the bugs have been working in a field for some time the corn is already beginning to look dead in considerable areas.

Here’s -why CAMELS are the quality cigarette BECAUSE we put the utmost quality into this one brand. Camels are as good as it’s pos/J sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette. Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this ' in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it’s possible to buy. Nothing is done |c simply for show. ' K r Take the Camel package for instance. It’s the iii most perfect packing science can devise to protect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper —secure foil wrapping-revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But P there’s nothing flashy about it. You’ll.find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. \ 4 Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember-—you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. • • If you want the smoothest, mellowest, ifiildest cigarette you can imagine—and one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, « V 1 JkX It’s Camels for you. 7 \ Cl ' ■'4l ■ I A » \ R.

FOR THEJARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. 1,149 FARMERS ENROLLED IN CORN GROWING CLASSIC Lafayette, July 2.—A toal of 1,149 men in 62 counties of the state have enrolled in the five acre corn growing contest for 1921, according to R. S. Thomas of the soils and crops staff at Purdue university, who has charge of this work. This is a larger enrollment and includes more counties than at any time since the contest was started in 1914. The five acre work is carried on by the Inddiana Corn Growers’ Association co-operating with the Purdue Agricultural Extension Department for the purpose of stimulating interest in more and better corn produc-

tion. The community demonstrabonal idea is carried out in most every local community. Efficient methods ' are put in practice by the growers ' not only to increase the yield per acre, but also to demonstrate the fact that higher yields are more economi- ' tally produced than lower yields. The Corn Growers’ Association cooperates by giving each person producing 75-85 bushus per acre a bronze medal, 85-100 busWs per acre a sib 'er medal, and each person who r reduces 100 bushels or OV6r a u medal. These metals all bear the seal of the Assoc'at’on and the name of the contestant engraved on th* on Poelte s'le. This medal is suspend to a olack ribbon watch fob and nmkes a present which any farmer in [nGlana can be justly proud to own Each county which carries on the ! work co-operates • v offering , mmum of $25 to be distributed in the prizes for the winners in the contest This is usually divided int, seven! prizesand no onemize is large enough to make the rivalry vaiefc ebds un friendly un ~ corn crop a«s year ig cption . ally good in most.ecuons of the state Drouths are occi .ng in s <,r.*< nutions, especially through the nerthwest, but corn has not defied Hie Mage where the drouth is seriously , luting .it, • Althongn a grt!at 5 Um corn crop was.plaHoj r.
