Right now is the best time you will have to start that painting of your front, business men. Let's get it done and have a long season of attractiveness that will count. Why put it off longer? Marion, Ohio, the home city of President Harding, is bankrupt, another chance for the appointment of a political friend to act as receiver. Why not transfer that West Virginia postmaster back home now and settle the controversy? Donar Law, premier of England has resigned, because of ill health. A throat affliction, said to be cancer caused by excessive smoking, is the rumored trouble. King George will summon a conservative leader who will form a new cabinet and try to straighten out affairs which are still in a considerable “jumble.” Law has had a brief but eventful career in his high position and leaves just when the problems are most perplexing so that his successor will have a big job. It will probably go to Lord Curzon or Chancellor Baldwin. Adams county men make good in every field and it is a pleasure to call attention to another. Rev. Hoffman, reared in this county, graduate of Decatur high school, splendid young man who has made good during his three years and a half as pastor in Saswatch<?wan is here on his way to Hickory, North Carolina, where he goes as the delegate representing all the Zion Reformed churches of that section of Canada, a signal honor which he will perform with merit to himself, his church and his adopted country. An Overland car, traveling at a high rate of speed, dashed into the Hoosier Limited traction four miles southwest of Fort Wayne yesterday. Russell Campbell is dead as a result and his wife perhaps fatally hurt while two other occupants of the car are suffering from severe injuries. A number of other accidents are reported over Sunday and most of them resulted from fast or reckless driving. These should at least serve as an early season warning to those who try to beat traction cars oi trains, who delight in seeing how quick they can make a trip. Its foolish and the wages are severe. During the past nine months the state administration has borrowed over five million dollars, still woes it, and has anticipated taxes to the amount of a million and a quarter dollars. When they were advised NOTICS TO ADVERTISERS In order that we can get to press “On time” it is necessary that we re-establish the rule that all advertising copy be in this office not later than 10:30 a. m. and 9:30 on Friday, and we will appreciate it if advertisers will get their copy to us earlier. It wilt be to the advantage of every one if your copy is in the hands of the printers the day before and this is especially true on Fridays. We want to give you a snappy paper and we will do our best to get it to you early in the afternoon and we ask your co-operation. The “dead line” on copy must be enforced to permit this.

during tho recent legislative session that this condition would soon exist they laughed at such leaders as Thurman Gottschalk, Senator Joe Cravens and others and went on with the work. Now It la admitted the financial condliton is serious and the only hope is that the gasoline tax and increased license fees will help pull them out and while this is going on they detract attention by the claim that taxes arc lower. It's a sorry mess and getting worse. The last Indiana legislature enacted a law permitting the state finance committee to transfer money from one fund to another. Records at ths state house indicate this is bein| “done with a vengeance." .Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being transferred from other funds into the general fund. Under tho law this money must be paid back within a reasonable time. Nobody seems to know just how payment can bo made. State finances are in an almost unprecedented muddle. This is becoming more evident every day. It also is becoming more evident that the present administration will not be able to put the state back iu its position of a few years ago when it was entirely out of debt. The problem probably will remain to be solved by the next administration. There is a difference of opinion as to where the responsibility lies. It may be the fault of the administration, of the legislature or of the system of government. In any circumstance the financial problem is one which must be solved sooner or later if the state is to remain solvent.—lndianapolis Times. , O ■ , » TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 0 * ~~ 4 * From the Dally Damoerat fllaa 4 * 20 years ago this day ♦ Liken divorce case ends abruptly.

There simply aren't enough men to go around. The World War has Caused a shortage of 25,000,000 mon. leaving a surplus of that number of women who —unless bigamy Is intro duced—must face the battles of life with out a male companion. According to tho records of the German Statistics Office, in 1913, Europe, while containing 160,000,000 inhabit ants, had a surplus of 9.500,00 women. Tho total population has since increased to 475.000.000 people with a surplus of 21,000,000 women. Thus before the war there were 1.038 women to every thousand men. while today there are 1,111 women to every thousand men. Before the war the surplus consisted to a large extent of old women —especially widows, while now the surplus Is : largely made up of young marriage,'a'ole women. I Russia shows the greatest increase of feminine over-abundance —from 1,012 to 1,229 to every thousand men. Next cornea Germany with an in-

Austria', shows an increase from 1,087 to 1,069. h The ouly country in Holland showing b a contrary development is Holland I, where the women surplus decreased ; from 1,030 to 1.010 to every thousand 1 men. ■ --a ——... Jeffersons Home To Be Shrine Os Democracy Washington, May 21 (United Press).—A campaign will soon be opened to make a second Mt. Vernon of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of ludepandeuee and third pres fflent of the United States. Richmond, Washington and Now York organizations are seeking a fund of SI,OOO, 009 to purchase the property and to make permanent a fund for its care. ; Jefferson built the mansion on a ( mountain top near Charlottesville, Va.. and the building looks much to day as it did when Lafayette and Daniel Webster were there as guests of the founder of the Democratic ] party. It is a brick mansion with ■ white pillars, cornices and balus- < trades surmounted by a dome, stan- ; ding iu the midst of a lawn overlook- I ing river, Woodlands and fertile ] valley, with a view of mountains to the west and of long extending costal 1 plain to the east. 4 Jefferson occupied the house in 1 1770. when the old Jefferson family home at Shadwell, four miles away, was burned. There he brought his bride, two years later. There he retired after his second term as president. In 1912 a bill was introduced in Congress by Representative Littleton providing for the / purchase of Monticello by the nation. Although r the time was propitious because the Democratic jmrty had just returned to power, the bill was not passed, nor whs it in 1917. when it was revived. Now. however, Jefferson Levy the owner has expressed his willingness to sell. —— Robbers Visit Berne Early This Morning “ t (Continued From Page One.) 32x3%.

DRUGS EXCITE THE KIDNEYS, DRINK WATER: Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder Irritation or Backache Tbe American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat Joo much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, of if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad. begin drinking lots of good soft water aid get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water bcyour kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined With lithia, and has been used for years to. help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink and belongs ini every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney rushing any time. By all means have your physician examine I your kidneys at least twice a year.

The Grays were leading 7 to 3 when the Frog eyes came to bat in the last half of the ninth but the FYog Eyes won the game, 8 to 7. The game was played on the Frog Eye diamond northeast of this city. A crowd of three hundred people witnessed the contest. Tin- Grays hopped onto Luttman. star hurlcr for the Frog Eyes who hurled a no-hit game against the bort Wayne Tigers the preceding Sunday, and drove him from the mound in the fifth inning. Coupled with several misplays by the Grays in the ninth inning were three poor decisions by Umpire Gus Walters, of Decatur. Tito Grays feVI confident that, had the. breaks been even, they would have downed the fast Frog Eyes. MeBarnes, who hurled for the Grays, was in mid-season form and the brand of ball played by the locals was good.
