When they get through figuring out who will be the democratic nominee for president they will find that about the only man who just fits and against whom they can find nothing, will be Senator Ralston of Indiana. While he ran last in the Collier test vote, he will be first when the primaries are over next spring. Watch the dope. Os course stock yards are not desired in residence neighborhoods and it is not unusual to be forced to move them. The main thing about the change we are now going through is not to forget to take care of this important business and Jo so locate the yards that they will bring the greatest advantage to our farmers and stockmen and will not have to be removed for some years to come. While we recognize the argument in the proposed report of the assistant engineer to his chief of the state highway commission and we realize just how the engineer as an expert road man figures scientifically that it would be a great fling to save eight miles through Adams county, giving tourists that advantage we also believe he loses track of the fact that the people of Adams county who are being taxed heavily for the purpose of building and s maintaining highways should be.considered and that it is wrong to pass by towns and cities to their injury and when this can just as easily as not be avoided. However don't overlook the fact that there is an argument in favor of the straight highway and that it is difficult to convince the scientific road man that he should divert from his ideas. Hats off to Miss Ruth E. McCormick. She has just been graduated from Butler University after working for six years as a telephone operator to pay her expenses at Technical high school and at the university. Work did not interfere with her studies. She was an honor student at Tech and had a high scholastic standing at Butler. And we are willing to wager she had just as good a time as any student in either of the schools. There are a lot of other girls and boys in Indianapolis and elsewhere who are showing the same commendable spirit as that display-, ed by Miss McCormick. This is the sort of thing that makes one impatient with those who insist the younger generation is “Going to the dogs,” that is takes nothing serious- 1 ly, and that it isn't what the younger generation used to be. That kind of talk is hunk.—lndianapolis Times. In this issue you will find a page announcement, headed "America's fate again depends on a slice of bread” and closing with the admonition "eat more wheat.” The page is paid for by the Schafer Hardware company, who realize that “there can be no bed rock prosperity in anv nation until the farmer is prosperous.” Read every word of the page, study it carefully and join the co-operative movement to do the things which will bring actual profits to the farmer. In Adams county we live almost directly and entirely from the result of the farmer’s labor. This' is true everywhere but we notice it more because we are closer to them here

than in the large industrial centers, li la wall known that for three years the farmer has not made money. Until he does prosperity will be spasmodic. uncertain and without foundation. Eat more wheat, do the things which you know will help the farmer get on his feet and you do the best turn for your country and yourself. A meeting of interest was held in Toledo yesterday when the Clover Leaf entertained representatives from the various counties through which they pass, the discussion being along the line presented here the evening before, that the railroads want to do the proper thing and desire the cooperation of farmers, business men. manufacturers and shippers of every class. Mr. Graham, who addressed the Industrial club here was asked to tell of the meeting and his talk, of the splendid responsive spirit exhibited and the fine treatment accorded the delegation was one that bordered on the enthusiastic. He praised Decatur in a loud voice and was cheered. He also read the resolut'ons adopted here and referred to this city as one of the very best on the entire line. His remarks were also confirmed by others of the delegation. C. J. Lutz, of this city, was called upon and explained that the meeting held' here was not an unusual one and was possible because of the ability to get together on matters of common interest. Dedication Os New Hospital Is Postponed (Continued from page one) sponse from individuals and organizations to furnish these will exceed this number, so the hospital trustees have decided to accept gifts for the furnish ing of the superintendent nurse's and' the nurses’ rest rooms, making- a total of five rooms altogether to be furnished. The three sun parlors and twenty-eight of the thirty one bed rooms have already been furnished. Award Contracts Contracts for the furnishing of the electric fixtures were awarded to the Schafer Hardware company on their hid of $686.50. The bids for drugs were opened, but the contracts were not awarded. C. C. Pumphrey was awarded the contract for the furnishing of individual tea and coffee pots, and sugar and cream holders. A number of other miscellaneous articles were purchased from the lowest bidders by the trustees.

Scott’s action follows by a few days’ coroners’s verdict that la?lghton Mount, university freshman, who disappeared during a 1921 rush, was slain. The jury, however, failed to place responsibility. A dean of men will be appointed at the university and inter-class athletics will bo encouraged. Scott declared the university is doing its best to -solve Mount's death. ——<* o - - »■ Statu Has More People Os School Age This Year Indanapolis.

MANY THANKS! WE wish in this way to thank the many friends and organizations who have donated a room for the hospital. The splendid manner and the wonderful spontaneous response in which the public responded to our appeal, is more than gratifying. , We have received enough donations to take care of all the sick rooms with the exception of "three. Those who are contemplating the furnishing of a sick room, should decide the matter immediately. However, we are aware of the fact that many people have it in their hearts to respond to our appeal but haven’t reached a definite conclusion. Therefore, we are listing the various rooms which are still to be furnished. 3 SICK ROOMS (S2OO Cost of Furnishing) Superintendent Nurse’s Bed Room Nurses’ Rest Room (S2OO Cost of Furnishing) j ($250 Cost of Furnishing) Last Call To Join Those Who Have Donated Rooms BBSSfcßßßaiaaaamß.-.n — INDIVIDUALS Mr. and Mrs. A.
