1 seems to be that the things those in power are tor do not coincide with ' the ideas of the muss of people whether they be. republicans, demoi erals or what not. Congress and the legislature will complete their work this week ami the people ure promised a rest from legislative quarrels. Al least that will be something but the tragedy is that we wasted the ’ time and did not accomplish things which would help. President Harding anil Secretary Hughes have finally made up their minds that this nation should become a member of the league of nations with reservations or that a world court should be formed. Os course it should and of course we should have been members all the time, not with reservations but with a desire ,to make such improvements that would make the league stronger, preI vent future wars and place the various countries on such a basis as will I bring order out of chaos. Bad we done our part three years ago the world would be better off and the reconstruction would have been completed by now. Whatever they call it and by what ever means they attain it. the people want guaranteed peace for all time to come, want the rates of exchange averaged and fixed and a basis whereby we all will prosi per and lie happy. The truth seems 'to be leaking through some of the metallic domes of Washington and I it's bound to come.

A deal was closed Saturday wherei by Lew Q .Klliugham, former owner 1 and editor of the Daily Democrat, bo : came sole owner of .the Fort Wayne Jouruul-Gazelte, purchasing the halt interest of bls partner, lion. E. G. ’ Hoffman. The two men purchased the paper seven years ago and have published it since. Mr. Ellinghum 1 has had full charge while Mr. Hoff- ' man continued his law business. Recent changes in his business , brought about the sale to his partner , at this time. The Journal-Gazette is one of the leading morning newspapers of the middle west, stands for the best and fights for ideals and ! principals. Lew Ellinghum is a real newspaper man, qualified in every particular and will continue to pro- , gress in his present responsible position. His hundreds of Adams county friends congratulate him and wish the great success they are sure he will have. Mr. Hoffman who is a high ! grade attorney and in every way a , splendid gentleman will devote his entire attention to his legal business and with continued success. Cleaning without Blue Devil is like ' starting' a ear without Gasoline. ! 26-28-2 o GOAT-GETTERS The bird who iu public places tells in loud tones about the big deals he i has pulled off. —If.

Recently an ettra long session of the lodge found him ready to depart for home at a verylate hour. As he lived a considerable distance and he hnted to spend taxi fare, he thought of a pla«. aud there ‘ u pon rll shed up to Dr. Blnks' front door, ringing the bell with all his might. The doctor's auto was parked in front of the residence, and as the doc appeared at the door Sandy exclaimed. "Hurry, doctor; it's a bad case. Don't delny. In five minutes they were on their wny to Sandy's home, several miles distant, and at the end of a hurry-up trip Sandy asked Dr. Blnks' fee. -Well, I genearlly charge five dollars for a night visit.” "Fair enough, there wasn I a taxi
