men—lts the flag of our children and their children yet unborn. Salute the red. white and blue and be not ashamed as you see it flying from the flag staffs. Stand and salute and remember what it means to you and to yours. The American flag is the third oldett of the national standards, older I han the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France. It was first authorized by congress, June 14, 1777. Thats what makes this Flag Day and why we ask you to remember that it Is the signal of the strong spirit which has brought liberty and prosperity to the greatest nation in the world. The flag was first flown from Fort Stanwix on the site of the present city of Rome, New York, August 3rd, 1777. Three days later it was under fire in the battle of Oriskany. It flies today over forty-eight states, its tlie flag of all of us alike, let us accord it honor and loyalty. Flag Day is important if you use it to tell your children the history of this greatest banner. Do not think that there is any bluff or any joke about the proposed trunk line through this section of the state. It’s a serious matter if

you are interested in the future of tho county. As recommended by the assistant engineer of tho state highway commission who made the survey, it will miss every town in Adams county and become a speedway for out of state tourists. Surely those in charge will listen to reason and argument if properly submitted and we should plan to present all we have. Let's organize Adams county as a unit and stick together. We don't want a paved speed track through the county. We do want a hard surface highway. properly policed and through the territory which will bring us some returns for tho taxes paid and the gasoline boost. It is argued that the proposed straight highway through Adams county, missing all the towns, would save eight miles to the tourist. What if it does? Surely Indiana is not building speed tracks for out of state tourists, that they may violate the laws. They can drive at thirty miles an hour on any of the highways. Why arrange things so they can make sixty to ninety miles, nyrking evety cross roads a death corner? The highways belong to the people of the state and should be so constructed as to be of greatest benefit to those who must pay for building and maintaining them. It's important that we take an interest in this matter and do it NOW.

It is costing us more than two billion dollars a year to pay the expenses of past wars and prepare for future wars. This is divided thus: army and navy. 17 cents of every dollar paid to the government, retirement of war debt 11 eejrts, pensions, 25 cent?, settling war contracts four cents, interest bn Wht deMs 28 cents, total 85 cents. In other words but fifteen cents of the money paid in is used for maintainence of the government. Don't you honestly feel that it’s time to save this money and along with it save the lives of millions of men in the future? Then add to that the establishment of a world market from which the United States would profit greater than any other because of our ability to produce and you will discover how useless it is to plan to isolate ourselves from the world. Announcement today that three more of the hospital rooms will be furnished is splendid and we reassert that we have the best people in the world. There are but six more rooms to complete the thirty five and we are confident that these will be pledged during the week. The response has been the ftnest in the history of this community where we have often called upon you. It's a great credit to those who have entered into the spirit <rf the work and the trustees as well as all others interested are delighted. If you plan to help in this great cause, do so in the next few days. Phil Zoercher called at Fort Wayne yesterday and notified the assessors that unless they brought the average for personal property up to that in Adams, and Huntingdon counties, a horizontal increase would be ordered. The assessors insist they took the property at true cash value but Phil snys they didn’t anl unler the authority vested in his board — that goes. The increase will be made, right or wrong and the fellow who put his in at "honest value will suffer most. It’s a tine arrangement. CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE Wheat: July $1.11; Sept. $1.09; Dec. $1.11%.
