Plans are being made for a cordial welcome and reception of the noted men. '■! ■ While enjoying a cruise on the Mayflower over the week-end the important information was given out that President Holding would reveal ’ his policy in dealing with the rail ami coal strikes. That information will come in handy if given out before 1 the strikes are ended. Prohibition Commissiouer R. A. Haynes in a recent address called for a stricter enforcement of the Volstead la v. He omitted any mention of the shipping board's defy of tho I law by the selling of liquor on American vessels. The shipping board's* action helps create contempt for the ■ , law. According to the bulletins sent out by the Indiana State Board of Health the births in the state during the month of May totaled 4,894, while ■ deaths during the same month were 2.775. leaving an. increase in popula tion of over two thousand. Lawrence county enjoys the distinction of having the highest birth rate, while Steuben, county has the lowest. The city officials are making an | e fort to get enough coal to keep the city water and light nlant operating. S' me months ago the council pur . .based a sivuia! month’s supply o ccbl ;ind had it not been for that our plant would probably have been . forced to take the same action as other municipal plants, that of dot Ing down. The local plant still ha , about a three week’s supply and in I the meantime we sincerely hope that . seme action will be taken in getting . the cars and mines running. It's j about time. We welcome the teachers who are attending the annual teacher’s insti- ' tute in this city this week. County • ' Superintendent of Schools E. S. 1 Christen has arranged an interesting tj H’ogram and a number of noted educators have been secured to talk to

the teachers. The teacher is one of the most important persons in uny community, and his duties are most exacting. To educate the youth of today is most important and Adams county is fortunate indeed in having competent and able teachers who are teaching the boys and girls how to be good citizens ami a credit to themselves. Respect and honor the teachers and they will serve you and the community in away that will repay you. Among the instructors at the teach er’s institute this week tire Miss Lyravine Votaw, music Instructor, Chicago; Prof. L. R. Brown, head of department of English, Cleveland school of education; ITof. A. M. 'Harding. Ph. I)., director of general xtension and lecturer. University oi \rkansas; Dean. T. J. Breitwieser. dean eastern division Indiana stati normal school. Muncie. Competent instructors mean much to the teach ,rs and Superintendent Christen is to be congratulated on securing such well known educators. If th< country expects to properly educate he children, the teachers should be given every advantage oi good instruction and it is correct to assume that nothing along the educational line is too good for the teachers. We have had an inquiry as to who the chairmen and board of directors of the Yeomen Day celebration were. This information is no doubt wanted by someone who thinks they can put on a celebration like this community did last Tuesday. We don’t min J telling them that the whole community was Lack of the project and that we believe no other town or commun ity can duplicate the celebration. It takes more than a board of directors to jive an event of this kind and where personal gain or real estate p romoters are back of a movement of this kind it will surely fail. Let them try. We have absolute confidence in the directors and officials of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen that they will be able to see the dis ference. iFOKEN NEWSPAPER IS LATEST IN PARIS Faris.

English Sports Are On a Decline Now New York. Aug. 86.— England feel* that she has reached a point of national disgrace in sports. The loss of the British tennis championships, the; British open golf title, the rowing classics and the Internal ional polo mutches were considered terrible; blows to national prestige. The greatest howl has be. 1 1 made against the governing bodies ' tennis, | golf and polo. Particular distress was felt over the decline in polo made evident when the Argentine team, cleaned up all over England. Criticism was voiced that the game had "been nursed too long by men grown obsolete who were maintained, because they owned the best ponies Major Vivian Lockett, the Devereux Milburn” of British polo, takes Vigorous exceptions to the criticism. “Our present lack of polo quality it the result of the tyar,” h-> said in in interview with th? t nited Press. “It takes five to ten years to make a polo player and aii the men who by rights would be our best ylaverx today, were killed in the war. Further, cavalry i officers, who form a large per centage oi polo players, have been on service in Ireland. Young men have not re established their financial condition enough after the war to buy the ex pensive ponies necessary to get skilled at. the game. Everyone admits that England suf fared terribly from the war. but the I critics point out that in most of the najor sports, English style is follow | Ing obsolete form and is making no effort to modernize their methods of I training. British golf critics that the American g?inc is becoming more and more superior because the Americans pay more attention to developing a good putting game while the English persist at the long driving game. British tennis also is falling into the liar because the English players do .mt pay more attention to sen ing. according to George Agutter, the Forest Hills instructor. "The American court game is on i;p because the young American play ere excel at serving." h? says. “This is the direct result of baseball. All the young players learn the powerful overhead style of service by pitching a baseball. The rymthm and perfec lion of the overhead strike come na turally. Many young British players start at cricket where the underhand delivery is used and when they come to trying the overhand service they develop an awkward style that fails tc get the drive or the accuracy that the American game carries.” British amateurs also fail to take their sports seriously like the young Americans do. V/hen the Pennsylvania University relay team was in England last spring for a race against the Oxford-Cambridge team, the British invited the Americans out to several parties and expressed the greatest surprise when the Americans would not drink beer and smoke. They considered such conscientious training to be almost professional. Charges of professionalism were al-
