Now Michigan is passing a two cents a gallon gasoline tax. which will head off the possibility even of picking up an occasional bargain when up near the border. The yonng lady, who was fined for appearing on an Indianapolis stage clad only in a pair of bloomers, can save her costume for the summer Beason at the lakes where she would probably be overdressed. This is the fifteenth day. .impor taut, because of the fact, if you hav n't filed your income tax report, you are Hable to a penalty, t'nder the law. the report, had to be in the hands of government officials by this evening. It is probably that next tiling you hear of Miss Liyons, the high-powered lady from Escanaba, will be her con tract with a vaudeville company or a movie producer. Publicity pays, and. already, a lot of people want to see this young woman who fooled the physicians for days with a hot waler bag. The road between here and Fort Wayne is in a terrible condition. It is perhaps no one's fault, for the road is more used than any reaches this city, and it will never bo in good condition in th l ' spring until a hard surface road is con strut ted. It is to be hoped that this stretch of highway is included in the building program for next year, and there is an excellent chance of this, if the right of ways can be obtained so as to permit a fifty foot roadway. i. —i.,i. ja The concern in England which for a century has made the famous Haig & Haig whiskey, has closed shop, quit, gone out of business.

did not wait fur the sheriff, but quit while tho quitting was good, issuing a statement that the market tor really good whiskey thus neared the vanishing point. Reports from England also show that the amount of liquor now shipped to some other destination for transportation to the U. S. A. is diminishing each month and will soon be too little to even think about. Most people who complain about the doubled auto license fee and the gasoline tax, declare they would have no objections if the money camo buck to the counties. . Take your pencil and figure out an estimate of the amount paid from this county in such taxes and then what we get back on the one slate road and tho difference is what we ought not, in fairness, be paying. The rest of the money is wasted or is spent in other counties where they have not made the investment in roads themselves. Adams county could have the finest roads in the world if we could use I the money we send to the state, and I some day, we believe, that will be the law. The parting shot of Albert B. Fall lit quitting the office of Secretary of tiie Interior shows how unpardonable was the appointment of such an enemy of conservation in the first place. He remained in office long enough, however, to burden the ad ministration with the scandal of the I navy oil reserves. Just how much I damage he was able to do to the I policy of conservation otherwise. I may appear later. On the. strength I . f the interview the country can I heartily congratulate the President I ;>n ridding himself of Fall, but it will I Lave to wait a while before deciding I to congratulate him on the appoint- I r.ient of Work as his successor. Just I what is behind the selection of this I Colorado politician, who is also pro- I r.ouncediy reactionary, no one knows. I t? the enemies of conservation have I program, however, it would be I asier to put it through without at- I tracting attention, with a secretary I who dq.es not interest the public at I than through one who is' the very I yntbol of reaction. —Fort Wayne ■ Journal-Gazette. i 1 Anyway, the Celts beat the Caseys one point more than they beat Hunt ington. The score at Huntington last night was 30-1-1. The report ays that the Huntington team held the Easterners closer under eastern rules than under the A. A. I', rules. This sounds like someone had cold I feet: Pasaic, N. J., March 12.—Pasaic High School's famous net team will not enter the national interscholastic basketball tournuy at Chicago, April 1-7, Coach C. Blood announced today. Inability of the team to stand the three-day strain was given by ' Coach Blood as his reason for rejecting the offer to compete. We imagine it would be some -train for the New Jersey boys for the first day or two, at least. No doubt, Richmond high would like to -top right now with a record of more than twenty victories and no defeats this season, and. claim the state championship. Hang on to your 116 straight wins I’asiac, and maybe you can win a few more next fall from your eastern neighbors. Just two more days, and it will all be over but the shoutin'. Don't forget that Indiana and Pur'hie mix it up again tonight ai Bloomington. This will bo the finale of the Big Ten season. A writer in a Huntington paper doped his home team to down South Bend and Anderson, but when he came to the Vincennes game, he admitted he couldn't forecast the outcome. We’d about as soon dope Uuntington to down Vincennes as South Bend and Anderson. There will be two stars opposing each other in Unit Huntington South Bend battle. Yess, of Huntington, rind Nyikos, of South Bend are real performers on the hardwood. I|—»—f—WANT ADS EARN—s—l—l
