YOUR ATTENTION TO STATE ROADS:— The matter of greatest interest to the people of Adams county (luring the next year or two will be the locating and building of the state road north and south througli this section. We again call your attention to the fact that the interest manifested here will largely control the exact location of the road and the materia! to be used in construction. We make a serious mistake if we sit idly by and let the work take its own course. You should keep in touch with this important matter and assist in securing the best for our county. To do this we should have cooperation of the people in the vicinity of Geneva. Monroe. Berne and Decatur. Lets all pull together and do the wisest thing, for this road will stand during the future and once constructed of hard surface will not be changed. Read the story as told by our Geneva correspondent in today’s issue and then take your < oat off and help locate the road to the best advantage of every one and then help see that It 1s built of the r-ght material. We have just concluded a six hundred mile trip over state roads. No town or city can afford to permit it to miss them. The farmers cannot afford to have tht? road miss the towns. It means much to every one concerned and we have the opportunity NOW to show that we are really for each other. With this cooperation we will secure the best results from the state highway commission who appreciate such effort. Mr. Weeks made the statement at Geneva that the route has b<‘«*ti arranged from Richmond to Bryant and they are now up to Adams county. They wish to avoid crossing the railroads as much as possible, for that saves accidents and is good common sense. They need right of ways through farms in the south part of the county. Lets bring them through Geneva. Berne, Monroe and Decatur and lets all help to do that. THE EDITORS ENJOY VINCENNES: — In the forty-four years of existence for the Indiana Democratic Editorial association, no more delightful meeting has ever been held than that which closed Saturday evening at Vincennes and great credit is due President George Purcell and those who assisted him. The program was high grade and most enjoyable and the hospitable people of that splendid little city fairly outdid themselves to make the editors and their guests have a good time. The Fortnightly club directed a trip to the various points of historical interest, including the home or William Henry Harrison, used as the executive mansion when he was governor general of the northwest territory. We visited scenes made famous by Abraham Lincoln, saw the documents of the earliest history of this country, the first Masonic lodge in the state, the old fort, the first legislative hall and a dozen other places of great interest, attended a reception at the beautiful home of the Alsops, a dinner and banquet at Harmonj* Park, saw the “Covered Wagon," a picture of the first wagon train to California and Oregon, pic-

tures of the coal industry, Vincennes champion basketball team, film “from tree to Tribune." and talked shop mid politics for a day. The eveht was a success in every why and the more than two hundred editors were loud in their praises. The meeting closed with speeches by Senator Ralston. Senator Heflin, and Mrs. Flynn and then most -of Hie guests accepted an invitation to French Lick as guests of Senator Taggart. The enthusiasm was mark ed and there is no doubt that the democrats of Indiana have hopes of a great victory in 1924. Vincennes is a beautiful city, the drive there perfect and we advise you all to plan a trip to that spot where much of the history of this Hoosier state has foundation. Politics is booming again with candidates for everything from town ship officers to president and as time goes on during the next year the boom will grow louder. We appeal to’ the people of this state to see that those nominated by either party be pledged to retrenchment of expenditures. AVe believe in progress but that does not include the spending of millions of dollars foolishly and surely that is what we have been doing.- Now is a good time to become interested. We still believe Decatur the best appearing and best business town of its size in Indiana and the more we see of the others, the more we refuse to back tip on that proposition. About half the business houses have kept their promise to paint up and we expect the rest of them to do so during the next couple of weeks. —o — Hearing Cases Resulting From School Hack Disaster Van Wert. Ohio. June 11.—A number of the case.-, growing out of the Ridge township school hack disaster east of the city January 10. 1922. were set down at Toledo this morning. Tile remainder, nine cases, which Conn, Hoke and Wright are taking <are of. are set for hearing on Wednesday. Witnesses for the cases to be heard Monday have been subpoened and left here Sunday to appear at the hearing. Witnesses for the cases of Conn, Hoke and Wright will not lie called until later. A Youngstown firm of attorneys has the first case to be tried. Close to a quarter of a million dollar- is asked in all of the suits. It is not certain what judge will hear the cases. Several (hildren were killed and others were injured in the accident from which the suits happened. It happened on a Pennsylvania crossing, when a fast train hit a back filled with si hool ( hildren on their way to school. o- - Huntington—William, painter, was working on a bridge near here when a fast passenger train swept on to the bridge. He dropped down between tracks. The engine passed over him, only tearing his shirt. QUART OF WATER OLEAS KIDNEYS Begin Taking Salts If You Feel Backachy or Have Bladder Weakness Too much rich food forms acids which excite and overwork the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Flush the kidneys occasionally to relieve them like you relieve the bowels, removing acids, waste and poison, else you may feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, the stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges Tile urine i» cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get irritated, obliging one to get up two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste, begin drinking water. Also get alxiut four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemou juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clear and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive and makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help prevent serious kidney and bladder disorders. By all meaao. drink lots of good water every day. Have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year., __

This week it has been suggested that tlie city build a band stand either at the court house or at the Waterworks park. Now why do either? Would it not be better to’build a large stand on wheels to be used any place desired? Built right, it would be good for one year and the other would porbably be dismantled after the season is over. Another thing, why not hold the concerts on the street intersection? This would automatically ha'ult traffic for who likes a noisy motor or two mingled with their music? Speaking about streets, why not im prove the street from Jefferson to the Erie railroad? Why not flush the brick streets in the city instead of sweeping by hand, a slow and unsatisfactory job at best? And last but not least,' if we must have the socalled "Toads-of-Hell” lets keep ’em lit. There could be a lot more said but I will leave it to be said. by some one else, but if this gets into print 1 would like to see thoughts expressed by others. Until then, 1 would like to be known as “WHY.” Furnishings For 3 More Rooms Given (Continued from page one) hours Saturday evening for a visit with his father on his way home from Washington. D.
