THE HOSPITAL: — Those who have visited the new Adams County Hospital, now waiting only the finishing touches and the furniture ami equipment, declare it th,' most wonderful place of its kind ever built for the money. Mr. Sanders who constructed it and Mr. Huffman, the architect, say it would co t $175,000 to replace it today. It is a model of modern, efficient, expert creation in the building line and will be one of the splendid institutions of this llapidly progressing county. The new building will be dedicated July 4th and the work of furnishing tlie rooms is now at hand. There are thirty-six of them and so far the various organizations and a few individuals have agreed to furnish til teen or sixteen of them. The board in a page appeal today asks that this work be carried on by others and that if possible all of the rooms be furnished. They have figured close on the appropriation and as a result will use 'the last penny with the exception of a small fund with which to landscape the grounds, build drives and walks and beautify the surroundings. In other words every penny donated for a room means that much more to be used in landscaping the grounds and completing the work. The building is located near this city, most conveniently and it is proper that we do all we can to make the hospital one of the best in all the country. We urge you to see that your lodge or church or organization furnishes a room at the new buildang and no individual can do a more patriotic or finer thing than to assist in this work, completing the Adams County Memorial to her World War soldiers. Do it now for within four weeks the dedication will be at hand. I THE CRYSTAL I g LAST TIME TONIGHT M 6 “LOST B g AND FOUND” B On a South Sea Island.

Governor Al Smith signed the bill last evening wiping the Mullan-Gage state prohibition enforcement act from the statute books of New Yorklit doing so be issued a statement giving his reasons that this will do away with double jeopardy, put the state in bunuouy with the recent decision of Judge Knox and permit the federal authorities to have full charge without any conflict of authority. He calls on congress to modify the Volstead act to a “common sense" act that can be enforced and says that his action does not change the enforcement of the act in the least. He notified the peace officers of his state that they would be expected to enforce the Volstead act so long as it remains a law. Perhaps botli the wets and drys have placed too much importance on the result of Governor Smith's action on this bill but it begins to look as though the country may be in for another era of campaigning on the question of personal liberty. It is reported that the income tax

There is a genera! demand that the income laws be simplified uud the Indianapolis Times reminds the government uud congress that the best proof of the possibility of that action is the fuct that the Ten Commandments—basis of all sensible j^aws—contain only 318 words, including all explanatory clauses and m> amendments have ever been necessary. It would be fine to have a tax report blank that the ordinary business man could understand. The first act of the reorganized state republican committee was to call on the governor and tell him a few things, resulting almost it not entirely a "break.” They told the governor they expected him to consult them when he made appointments and they •‘called" Miss Hush, his secretary because she bars them

Ollier interesting comparisons will be seen by those who attend. It is saltl one of the meetings will
