France has decided that the "no payment" speech made by a French | statesman recently was ill advised! and now give out the information, that they will pay the United States : but will make no effort to do so tin-1 til they are notified that they owe us. They seem to know it. Why be so particular about the plan of proceedure? Pendleton gets the reformatory and after the state spends a million or two there, will have many visitors :; from various parts of the state.

The “no cash" plan for the bonus i may be alright but it's a hundred to one that the loan sharks and the financial profiteers will get there's and , at the expense of the lad you praised . so loud and long when he bravely marched away. An amendment to the bill has been prepared and sent to Mr. Fordney, providing that the certificates can only be taken by nation al. state and trust company banks and it certainly ought to pass.

The tournament has brought out the fact that Adams county has u number of excellent teams of which we should all feel proud. Os course there is spirit of rivalry and it adds to the Interest but this should not prevent us from seeing the good plays of the others. The teams of Adams county easily excel those of any county in the district, taken together. The district event is a success in every way and from what we can gather our visitors are enjoying themselves to the limit. — When Fred Reppert announced u couple of years ago that he would conduct an absolutely clean fair or none at all. the old timers in the business guve him the laugh. When he refused to even allow the paddle wheels on the grounds, they declared ■he would fizzle out, that it was just ' impossible. At the meeting of east,trn Indiana fair secretaries at Muncie the other day, it was agreed that the same rule should apply to all the fairs in this part of the state. The wheels of fortune, games of chance ' and immoral shows, need not apply ; — and that's going some. The market boost is encouraging and indicates that we have reached: the bottom, passed the crisis and started towards average prosperity at least. That’s fine and if the in creased prices will continue over the harvest time so that the farmer can I get some of it, the improvement will: be noticeable. The trouble is too i often that the increased prices cornel after the farmer has sold his crop and it is in the hands of grain speculators. There are however other signs of better times and we believe the worst is over. It . will take con siderable nerve however to claim any particular honors from the past year. I Those who have survived it financially deserve some credit for being good I managers. Business houses in Adams county are asked to make a special display during the Milk Campaign and if you will get in touch with the Display Committee, Dr. Fred Patterson, chairman, you will receive valuable instructions which will aid you in fixing up the window to advantage and thus aid the campaign.

I been conducted this feature of the i wcok has been one of the meet imi porlaut for hundreds will learn the i lesson from attractive display*. Sevi oral special windows will be sent out I from Purdue and the committee has 1 suggestions for others that can be f easily arranged. Don't put it off for ! the event is scheduled for March 13tto to 25th. . Wells county assessorshave agreed , to place the valuation on a basis forty per cent under the present assessment. That's some reduction and i right in Mr. Todd's own county. Now I if our assessors permit his county to • got away with that and put ours iu • at anywhere near the present rate, i they will just have themselves to > blame. At the recent meet here some I one asked Todd why land in Hartford township of this county was assessed at $132 per acre while just across the line in Nottingham township the valuation was only $75 per , acre and he promised to bring the values up there. Now with this announcement, the plot thickens. If they get forty per cent off that they are going to be down where they were in the old days and those counties which follow instructions will be paying their share of state taxes and most of Wells county’s share. The more we hear of this new tax law the more surprised we are that the people stand for it even under our po- : litical system. IS A CANDIDATE Aaron Augsburger of Berne was in the city last evening and announcer’ that he is a candidate for assessor of Monroe township, subject to the democratic primary to be held May find. He served four years as county recorder. ouchipSFain, RUE RHEUMATIC, ACHING JOINTS St. Jacobs Oil stops any pain, and rheumatism is pain only. Not one case in fifty requires internal treatment.

MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a Tablespoonfful of Salts if Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat Forms Uric Acid, We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is tilled with uric acid, says a | well known authority, who warns us to Ibe constantly on guard against kidi ney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free ’ the blood of this irritating acid, but j become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues i clog and thus the waste is retained in I the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stingi ing pains in tjie back or the urine is icloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder ■ is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful iu a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemou jurice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids n urine so t is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure: rtiakes a delightful effervescent litbia-water drink and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean , and active. |

TwiT" I believe every woman loves a bargain by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst Os course women look for bargains. I do! And so does every woman. It just comes natural for us to save money on things we buy. But there’s a difference between a bargain and something that’s merely cheap. A real bargain is quality at a low price. That’s why I say that Heekin’s is a genuine bargain for any woman. But let me tell you the whole story. You know that The Hcekin Company asked me to try Heekin’s Baking Powder and report on the results obtained. I analyzed it. and I know that a fmrer baking powder cannot be made. (No oreign ingredients are added to create an unnatural effervescence or to give a false impression of quality.) Then my assistants and I baked with it—never was our baking more successful. In fact, we have never had one failure when using Heekjn’s. In my business, I have had a wide experience with baking powders. But after analyzing Heekin’s and baking with it, I really believe that there is not a better baking powder, regardless of price. Yet Heekin’s costs much less than any other baking powder that even approaches it in quality. So Heekin’s is a genuine bargain. It is the finest possible quality at a lower price than you would have to pay for an ordinary baking powder —you save money by using it. And Heekin’s is the favorite with thousands of women, because every woman gets excellent results with it. The Heekin Company is so sure of the successful results that you will get, that they make this guarantee: If anything you bake—using Heekin’s—does not turn out to ycur entire satisfaction, name the ingredients in whatever you bake, their prices, and the price of the baking powder, and the entire amount will be returned to you by The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There are no strings to this offer. Simply send the list with your name and address. Buy a can today and try it—you’ll like Heekin’s. Zu. ZUy BonTbn Oh® \ W.
