You still have time to paint the front before the fire laddies come next Thursday but you will have to hustle. The town looks fine now but if a few more would get busy it would look just that much better. Get the old paint bucket out. There is no more important matter for your consideration, folks of Adams county, than the proposed trunk highway, hard surfaced through Adams county and the best and wisest course to pursue is a united action by the people of the county. We can only suggest and call your attention to the facts as they exist If you feel it should be done, a meeting should be called to consider the facts seriously and to take proper action. There is nothing about the visit of Governor Al Smith to French Lick, to excite any person. He has a strenous job and with a few friends selected without regard to politics, he comes to the great Indiana resort to rest for ten days. Inside information says that he refuses to talk politics and insists that he is not a candidate for president. Indiana democrats will be for Samuel Ralston if

h<* will consent and until he gives a definite answer one way or the other, you con gamble that there will be no dealing with any other candidate. Wo are sure there need be no worry on the part of stockmen or tanners as to the speedy Installation of up-to-date stock yards here. It is too big a part of our industrial life to pass up and there is no desire on the part of any one to do so. It is one of those matters however which requires some detail and some working out, that the best advantages may be secured. The city council, the Industrial association and every one here desires to do the best thing for every one concerned and will do it within the next few days. Give the railroads a chance. That's the slogan now being adopted by many commercial associations and was unanimously agreed upon at a meeting here last night. There is not the least doubt that they have many difficulties and that during the past few years the troubles have been multiplied. We like the spirit of coming to us and telling us their side of the story that we may all understand. So long, as the cards are on the table, the public will be fair and will gladly co-operate with the railroads and “give them the chance.” The stockyard problem must be worked out in some manner. It developed at the Industrial meeting last night that over two million dollars worth of live stock is handled through here each year. That’s a worth while item we take it for every one concerned. At present the only yards are on the Erie and a petition has been filed to abandon that. We are assured by members of the city council that no action will be taken until plans have been worked out for the satisfactory location of new stock pens and tracks. All we have to do in this as in other matters is to think together, talk to each other and work unselfishly for the common good of us all. The Industrial rooms were crowded to the doors last night and the meeting was of interest. It shows the good of such an organization. We can't land a factory or do big things every day but we must keep our association going, 100% strong, that when the time comes we can respond. Mr. Graham paid us splendid compliments in his talk and he meant it. He insisted personally that we Ice Cream Social On Riley Lawn. Pleasant Mills, Ind.

i should express to our people his opinion that the Decatur Industrial Association is one of the livest of its kind he has ever visited, that the reception of the Cloverleaf delegation ' here was just right and that they enjoyed every minute of it. He said that if there is a business man here i who is not a member there is something wrong with him and with his business. Straws do not always show which way the big wind is blowing, for they giay merely indicate local atmospheric disturbances. Therefore, a national straw vote never can be taken as convincing. Collier's admite this in the effort it is now making to learn national sentiment with relation to the next presidental campaign. Latest figures in this vote show that representatives of Collier's have asked 128,276 persons their choice for President. Henry Ford leads with 38,457, and President Harding is second with 27,170. The President leads Ford in the middle Atlantic states. Ford having a slight edge in other sections. The other votes were registered as follows: McAdoo, 10,526; Cox, 9,119; Johnson, 8,602; Hughes, 7,606; Smith, 6,723; Hoover 5,039; LaFollette 3.627; Wood 2,748; Borah 2.173; Underwood 1,692, Davis, 1,568; Lowden, 934; Wilson, 851; Ralston, 562. The total vote cast for Democratic candidates, assuming that Ford is classed as a Democrat, which is a bold conception is 70.076. The total cast for Republican candidates, counting ’ such doubtful quantities as Hiram Jonnson and La Follette, is 59,003. —Indianapolis News.

O O | Farmers Near Geneva | Hunting For Wolves Which Killed Sheep o o Farmers residing in the neighborhood southwest of Geneva were excited Wednesday when it was reported that two large timber wolves had been sighted in that vicinity. Forty or fifty men, including hunters from Geneva and Bryant, scoured the country all forenoon Wednesday, but they failed to bag the game. Chicken coops in the community have been robbed regularly recently and last Monday Will Rogers discovered that five of his young lambs had been killed and their hind quarters eaten. On Tuesday morning, Charles Watson saw what he declares was a large wolf chasing his sheep. Securing his shot gun. Mr. Watson gave chase to the animal and it took for the tall timber. He fired one shot at it. but he was too far away to hit it. letter in the day a party of farmers started out after the animal and they declare that they sighted two wolves, one a very large one and the other much smaller. Several shots were fired at the two animals, but none took effect. > The men may have mistaken two large sheep-killing dogs for wolves but several of the farmers say they were too large and too fleet of foot to be dogs. Anyway, the farmers are keeping a close look-out for the "wolves."
