Sundays. That’s about all that can' be expected but we urge you not to] lose your interest in the promise to paint the front and besides the' business section of the city. Come on hoys, get busy and keep that way until the job is lot) percent complete. ~ ————— Arthur Brisbane, the hundred thousand dollar editor, hands out this timely advice in his column: — "take your children to the dentist. It is the best time of year for that. .See that they have new' tooth brushes, good tooth powder or paste. You would be glad to give SIO,OOO to each of your children today. A visit now to a competent dentist, followed by care of the teeth will be far more than SIO,OOO to an intelligent child, later on in life.” The best physicians i claim that many ills result from inattention to the teeth. A small in-: vestment now may make your chil-> dren more useful in the years to come and a lot happier. Good streets are a good asset for any town or city. W» have them. One or two of them should have attention however. This seems to be particularly true of Winchester, I Chestnut and one or two short! streets in the south part of town ' should have immediate attention for

they need it right now. And speakjing of Winchester street, wiiy not save it now, rather titan wait h year or two and build a new one? We belie've the street could be saved if the brick were taken up. h new bed made and the bricks turned and replaced, saving several thousand dollars if we wait a year or two. Property owners along that street can save money by petitioning for this Improvement and right now we are informed would be a very good time to do it. What do you say folks? ...ILL! ■“■““■“■““■at In the various schools of Adams county many boys and girls have graduated and will graduate during 1 1fie next few days. They have just i readied the age when they will soon I begin to realize they have a responsibility. They must carry on the “hnnj dred years of right living” establish- • d by their forefathers in this wonderful county. We again remind jthem that the actual time of their • earning capacity is short and that the sooner they "hitch their wagon to a star" and begin the upward climb to a (dace where they can serve best, the better it will tie. Many young men and women throw away the i early years of their lives with an optimistic faith that everything will come out alright after while. That’s wrong. Each day you should continue to get your lesson and each day you should strive your hardest to perform some act which will be of profit, not so much to yourself as to others. Then you win. We like the tendency at this time of co-operation between the various towns and communities in Adams county and we promise our very best efforts to continue that feeling. We are all one and our interests are largely the same. Let's all pull together as good neighbors and as one people. We have the same kindly spirit towards every citizen in this county and we are always glad to serve them and by that we do not mean to detract, a five cent piece from the other newspapers or printing plants in the county. Give your first support to them but that need not prevent us all from helping each other. As one grows so does the other and there are many, many points on which we should be one people. We believe the desire just now is nearer a perfect harmony all over Adams county than ever before and we hope it continues. Be careful about taking any action which will destroy the power of good which always comes from a united people, working for the greatest good for the greatest number Live and let live. Clyde E. Walb of LaGrange, republican chairman of the twelfth district, was yesterday named to succeed Larry Lyons as republican chairman of Indiana. But little is known of Walb. He has served as district chairman a year and his biggest asset seems to have been that he had not been mixed up in any of the many scraps or the Kian. Law rence Cartwright of Portland was made vice-chairman. He is also a contractor. Lyons who was retired because of his connection and disconnection with the klan was also a contractor. Begins to look as though a man to be qualified for the position of republican state chairman has to be a contractor or a dealer in stone, concrete or brick. Why? It is knowm of course that the state is using millions of dollars worth of material for road building and is conducting a gigantic campaign. It is natural that the people will look with some suspicion on the fact that those connected with the business of highway construction one way or another are the most ambitious to head the republican state committee and likewise seem to be most favored. At least some explanation would be interesting. Ladies Aid Society of Christian Church — Postponed to Thursday, May-31—Mrs. Joe Cloud. The meeting of the Ladies' Aid society of the Christian church which was scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed until next Thursday, May 31. The ladies will meet at the home of Mrs. Joe Cloud.
