Senator King of Utah has introduced a resolution asking that power io enforce the prohibition laws be trans ferred from the treasury department to the department of justice. What for? Secretary Mellon now puts all decisions up to Daugherty and it looks funny to ask for a change that is not a change. Henry Ford is "back peddling - ’ on the Jewish question and has every one guessing again. He announces that he is out to change tho monetary basic system in this country and is soliciting the aid of the Jews whom ho says arc the world's greatest bankers. It keeps ono bustling to keep up with Henry and his rapidly changing ideas. Dr. Harry G. Erwin of Huntertown, has announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for coroner of Allen county.

Erwin of this city, a real democrat, an efficient young man in every way and his Adams county friends are pulling for him.

p Bootleggers ara warned to stay away from Magnetic Springs, Cel* rado, where Mra. Mary McFadden, >. eighty years young is the mayor and ir announces no excuse will go and »• they may expect the limit. She has 18 gained national publicity by the •r i statement that she proposes to '•clean tho city behind tho ears" what s ever that may mean, it will be In8 foresting to have a report of what & she thinks of her job as boss of her 0 city after a year. 5 W 9 President Harding's troubles are 5 just starting it seems. Usually things run along smooth that way for about a year and then get worse. Now it is clnimed that unless ho is promoted to 1 Will Hay's Job. the first assistant postmaster will resign and so will the second assistant and we don't know how many more. But why worry, there are forty or fifty million ' men in this country anxious and willing to take the job. This is a poor 1 time to strike. The cane sugar kings, Havermeyer, Fpreckles and others of that clique ere sending out propaganda against the beet sugar industry and talking the people into the belief that a re duction of the tariff on sugar will decrease tire price to the people. If the dope came from any other source ! we might believe it but from these kings of the sugar industry—never. Let them once get into absolute con- , trol and you will pay all the cost of ’ the present campaign many times I ovet. , i • Secretary Mellon is making a strenous effort to have the resolution it: the house adopted to prohibit the issuance of tax exempt bonds by city, ( county and state governments. Many < are wondering why the national officials are so anxious to prevent city, county and state tax exempt bonds * but fail to say anything about the . national power to issue this form of ( paper, it would of course immediate- S ly make far more valuable government bonds but it would prevent , many improvements which at this < time are being urged to take care of the laboring man. It looks some times as though the present administration will soon be meeting itself ( coming back. .- — ( Basket bail is a great sport. It's fine, healthy amusement for the ( young people and delightful for the < spectators of every age but it may be well to suggest that it is not by any moans the only thing of interest in , school life of today and should not become so intense as to take from the minds of the school children that the 1 biggest purpose of going to school is to secure an education which will benefit them in the big battle of life to come. It should not become so 1 bitter between the various schools of the county as to cause bad feeling. After all it is but a game and while it is right to boost for your own I school, be sure to stop at that. Let’s all remember that we are all for ’ Adams county and everybody in it and for clean and fair sport and that we are also for a better education in the old fashioned "readin’, writin' an ’ritbmetic.” Two hundred and sixteen years ago today. Benjamin Franklin was born and in commemoration of that event this is Thrift week in this country. Do you save? That's a question of much importance to you and your family as well as to your nation for no country has long survived the age when it runs riot and when every one tries to outspend the other. For several years it looked as though we wore drifting that way but just now we have the opportunity to stop and tbink. Every person in this country v ho has more than living income can and should save and there is just one way—be systematic. Figure out your actual expenses and each week put away something for that rainy day that comes when your earning capacity ceases. A few dollars each week compounded for twenty, years will make you independent. The trouble is that most of us don't do it. This is Thrift week and a good time to start. • ——e Domestic lite and affection is very highly developed among wild, ducks
