Come again boys, you are a gentle- ’ i manly let and make things lively when you convene. We certainly gave the firemen a “warm reception.” If you have any doubts of it ask those who had to wear a heavy coat buttoned up and march the parade through. Fort Wayne gets the firemen next year and the plans i year in advance ar.' to make it the best meeting ever held by the association. The boys there- have the organizations with which to do it too. Ice in Mexico and a forty degree fall of mercury in Wisconsin has fall-1 ed to effect this ssetion and the weatherman says no relief in bight. Things are upside down when its' cold where it ought to be hot. We believe some action should be , taken and as quickly as possible to provide public comfort stations available at all times of day and night and Sundays. This could be done on Court street by preventing an entrance to the Court house basement. A rest room in connection with the ladies’ room would add to it i and we know would be greatly appreciated. We hope some one in authority gets busy on this proposition. It would be a wise step of progress. The benches in the court house yard yesterday provided rest for many whom we are sure appreciated it and it was a splendid thought by whoever originated it. This morning a committee called to insist that the benches be made permanent. We would be glad to have your opinion. Ours is that it won’t do because it would provide a permanent roost for loafers and would not be available for women and others for whom intend, 1 <l. It Would ruin the iqpurt house lawn and make it an unsightly place, we fear. However we would like to have the opinion of others. That's only ours. Let's work and pull together and do the common sense things the majority wishes. Read the Bible, is the advice of the Rev. Frederick E. Taylor of Indianapolis to lawmakers. It is good advice in more ways than one. Legislators might derive from the Bible a little more consideration for their fellow men. Above all they might, if

they read diligently, discover just what u law is. A few thousand years ago a man named Moses went to the top of u mountain and came back with some very excellent laws. These ■. laws are supposed to be the basis for ' all subsequent statutes, but at times •, our Legislatures drift tar astray. It might be a good idea to throw away all the blundering of the last couple • of thousand years or so und start I) over again with the laws of Moses as •J a foundation. They would be easier i to understand and u whole lot less J expensive to enforce. Legislators I should read the Bible by all means.— Indianapolis Times. While we realize that the people of Adams county have been liberal in support of many lyovements the past , few years and that there is a general • feeling that we ought to ‘‘take a breath" we doubt if this county desires to be listed as the only one . which has done nothing towards the Riley Hospital for Children, a state memorial to our soldiers and a fine institution for the use of all poor crippled children In the state. A campaign will be launched in this county next week to give our people an opportunity to subscribe. Your donation can be made in four payments and Mr. C. E. Bell, Adams county chairman, will be assisted by members of sororities and other organizations. In other counties the average total contributions has been $4,000. What will we do? Trying to turn the corner one mile north of Monroe in an automobile going at a rate of thirty miles an hour or more, Oren Baumgartner of Bluffton, slid along the railroad tracks, overturned and received injuries from which he died and Edgar Abbott of this city was severely injured. The car was demolished. It i should cause every driver to pledge 1 himself to drive more carefully but it probably won’t. We go on in the mad dash and though serious accidents continue to happen it seems to make but little difference. Last , night's accident is most regretable i but the biggest surprise to those who watched the cars tear over the roads last night is that more smashups did ( not occur. The roads have been repaired with new stone and gravel and its dangerous to drive more than twenty-five miles an hour. j SPORTS} Legion Loses Game To Fort Wayne Firemen, Score 9-5 One bad inning spelled defeat for the American Legion baseball team yesterday, in a game with the Fort Wayne Firemen, the firemen winning 9-5. The locals blew up in the sixth inning and allowed seven runners to cross the home plate. The legion was leading 4-2 when the fireworks , started. The game was called at the end of the sixth inning, by agreement. The locals rallied and pushed one more run over the pan in the last of the seventh, but could not tie the • score. The visitors outhit the Legion . players, obtaining 15 blows off Shady’s delivery, while the locals collected 9 off Bolton's hitting, for the firemen, was a feature of the game. The score: RHE 1 Firemen 0 2 0 0 0 7 o—9 15 1 i Decatur 1 0 3 0 0 0 I—s 9 2 Batteries—Firemen. Bohner and Liable: Decatur, Shady and Frauhiger. o LEGION TEAM WITHOUT A GAME FOR NEXT SUNDAY The local American Legion team is without a game for next Sunday. A game had been scheduled with Delphos. Ohio, to be/ played here, but Delphos was unable to furnish a return game, so the game was cancelled. o— Geneva Boosters Take On Hartford City Sunday Some real base ball is promised at Geneva Sunday when the Geneva Boosters cross bats with the Hartford City team. Since the visitors opened the season a few Sundays ago they have strengthened their lineup i and they are coming to Geneva determined to break the losing streak if possible while the Boosters are . equally as determined to keep their

j Penbrook Resident Tells About Her Remarkable Recovery : (J 0 Mrs. Annie Page, highly esteemed resident of 3238 Main street, Penbrook. Pa., is another who is enjoying splendid health as a result of the Tanlac treatment. "What Tanlac has done for me,” said Mrs. Page, “is too wonderful for words to express. For six or seven years I had been trobled with rheumatism in my arms. 1 couldn’t even wash the dishes, or peel the potatoes, and, in fact. (hy arms were just about useless. “My health was also bad otherwise. My stomach was all out of order, I couldn't get a good night’s sleep and often had dizzy headaches. I had just about given up hope of ever getting well. "But Tanlac helped me front the start and now I haven’t a rheumatic pain or an ailment of any kind. I eat and sleep like a child, and while I am 63. 1 don’t feel a bit over 40. Nothing is too good to say for Tanlac.” Tanlac is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute.
