Life Building, Kansas City, Mo Those thirty-seven republicans who had their seats reserved in the next legislature counted their chickens before the eggs were hatched and now had better get to thinking how they will make their winter’s wages. Farming is one of the most important businesses or occupations in the country, for the success and prosper! ty of the country depends upon the ] farmer. It is right that every peril son should encourage the farmer ano try to help him in his noble work. The local high school has a football team, the envy of most of the schools in this section of the country i and the pride of local citizens. They showed Bluffton how to do it on the home grounds and next Saturday will meet the husky squad from Richmond. ■ Home pride prompts a person to want to see his team win and a' victory next week by the Decatur boys would be just what we would like to , see. The Woman's club announced some time ago that the civic department would have the tennis courts in the city flooded with water, let it freeze and thus provide a safe place for the boys and girls to skate this wWrteh

Today was Armistice day, the fourth anniversary of one of the most important days in America’s history. It was victory day for the American sol diets and the people back home also Joined in the jollification and celebrated the ending of war in real fashion, although it will be remembered that the most spontaneous celebration occurred on November 7, 1918, when the news was first sent broadcast that the armistice had been signed. Let's not forget what the brave soldiers did for their country. The Detroit News prints a state ment made by one of the lawyers who defended Senator Truman Newberry in his fight to keep out of the penitentiary and, of course, he was working for the election of Senator Townsend, supporter of Newberryism His statement was ‘Senator Newberry and 1 were up until midnight election night, when we went to bed convinced that Senator Townsend had been reelected. When it became evident that ! Senator Townsend was defeated 1 be came sick and 1 have been sick ever ince. The country is going to hell.’’ Well, that's too “dern" bad. The purpose of observing national cancer week, inaugurated last fall by the American Society for the Control of Cancer, is to show the average citizen what the early symptoms or danger signals of the disease are, in order that persons afflicted may receive quick treatment and save their lives. The symptoms are easily recognized and in a great majority of cases the patient by receiving proper treatment and heeding an early warning is cured. Last year 90,000 persons in the United States met death through cancer, largely because treatment began too late and the society and physicians in this country are bent on saving those

with cancer now in an incipient stage. Listen to what the Adams county physicians have to tell you next week and you'll benefit by their knowledge. The republicans will remain in control of both branches of the legislature, later returns from St. Joseph county showing that the democrats elected only one of their candidates from that district. As the count now stands the republicans will have 32 senators and the democrats 18, while in the lower brunch the republicans will have 52 members and the democrats 48. It’s close enough to see some real contests and it is hoped that both sides will prevent the passing of useless bills and the establishing of more commissions and salary grabbers. 1 MR. SMITH GRATEFUL To the Voters of Adams County: Although I was not successful in the election held a few days ago, 1 am very proud of the excellent support you gave me and in this manner I desire to extend my heartfelt thanks. With the proper spirit 1 congratulate Mr. Kliene, and 1 wish him a most successful tenure of office. Sincerely, CLARENCE R. SMITH. Q FARMER FACES RUIN, SAYS HEAD OF FEDERATION < ■ 1.. ■ Chicago. N.ov. 11— The farmer of to day has on an average just $lB6 left at the end of the year to pay for edu cation, doctor's bills, recreation, repairs and other incidentals. President J. R. Howard, of the American Farm Bureau Federation declared to the United Press. “This is the third successive year when the farmer faced a market returning prices below the cost of production.” Howard said. “Organizedfbusiness mustlget behind a prostrate agriculture and aid it tc reach a position of prosperity before a period of normalcy will be restored. "The income of the six and a hall million farmers in the country totaled $10,976,000,000, according to the latest I 'survey. "The farmer borrows approximately ( $12,500,000,000 on his aggregate capital of $78,000,009,000. The interest 1 amounts to more than $1,000,000,000 * a year.

“The farmer pays about $663.tf00.000 In taxes and $1,108,000,000 for transportation. “This means at the end of th# year he has just $lB6 left for the expenses named. “The restrtt is that the farmer must get cost production over a number of years or go out of business.” , s PHONE TO COSTLY Berlin—The decreasing telephone service characterized as “the dying telephone” by the press. During the last few weeks more than 600 subscribers to Berlin’s telephone service have ordered disconnections. Mountcosts are driving small shops and private homes to .order their phones out as part of their program of economy. /" 'I YES or NO? A Test of Your Intelligence I The correct answer to one of these problems is YES, to the other NO. STOP TO THINK! Questions Answered Tomorrow 1. —Are newspapers a public institution more than they are private business enterprises? 2. —ls botany an art more than it is a science? Yesterday’s Questions Answered 1. —Are there more births than, deaths? Answer —YES. There are more births than deaths throughout the world on a ratio roughly estimated at three and a half to two. 2. —ls philosophy a science like astronomy. physiology, etc.? Answer. NO. Philosophy is an art. a demonstration of the phenomena of thought, and not a science measured by accurate and infallible standards, like astronomy and physiology. Phil osophy is a process of the intellect and invariably an individual opinion. Armistice Day Being Observed In Schools Indianapolis.

' South Side High Won From (Jarrett Yesterday Fort Wayne, ludiaua, November I 11—South Side high school’s football j warriors did all that their most ardent dent followers hoped for yesterday and came through with a victory over the fast Garrett team at Lincoln Life field by a score of 10 to 6 in a hardfought game. The South Slders were the only ones of the three local high school teams to turn the trick and the student oody fairly wen' wild with joy over the victory Captain “Red" Fromuth. the “triple threat” of the South Sider backfield, ■ was the big star in his team’s victory. He dodged and twisted his way through broken fields for runs of 10 to 35 yards and was the most sensational player on either team. He dropkicked a pretty goal from the 25-yard J line in the third quarter and his puntding was one of the features of the I game. Aldrich rendered Fromuth great assistance in carrying the ball and got away lor a number of substantial gains. He also starred in the secondary defensive work. Little Wil liams at left end played a good game and picked off a 30-yard puss in the second quarter for the touchdown that ■ eventually spelled victory for the ' Green and White. Plasterer and Sprang played well in the line and . Norris at center. Garrett did not play the brilliant 1 game against the South Slders that J they exhibited in the games with C. C. , H. S. and Fort Wayne Central. In | ! justice to the Garrett team it must be| ' said that Dickson, their star halfback,] , was out of the game and Captain ; Burch played through the entire con- ■ test blind in one eye. But the Green 1 and White played a dashing, hard-I tackling game and on form displayed, f deserved to win. Shultess and Birch I 1 were the best performers for Garrett. ' MONROE NEWS s ’ . ) R L.
