It has been a big week and we insist that if you are made of the right stuff you will tell the managers that they have made good. Though the federal men expected to do a land office business here during fair week they were disappointed. There was little if any bootlegging here this week and absolutely no .intoxication. That’s a dandy record in a county where we believe in obeying the laws to the letter. The President is having a tine time in Canada on his way back from Alaska and we are glad of it. He is entitled to an occasional vacation or a visit to other countries when he can get away but we can’t help re- j membering what a fuss was made i about President Wilson leaving the country and the cost of his trip. The same papers are not mentioning it now. Seems to make a difference whose ox is gored. Hiram of California is back from Europe with some new pointers on

why we should not enter into tiny entanglements with foreign countries. He insists they are just trying to work us into a terrible scheme and the wise thing is to let them fight it out. Maybe so but it does seem that in this day of Christian 1 enlightenment we should do something to prevent future wars anti to provide a better feeling over the world' It would, make America the greatest market in the world and would stablize every country. Hiram is as wrong now as he was when he left here but he never had any idea of changing his mind. Tlie free chautauqua will bring several thousand people hero and each will go away a booster for the community—that is of course if we get hack of it and boost it and try to make It a real event. We can have just as good a program as we can raise the money to buy. No one will give more than he does now to support the organization and hunIreds will become members next year who are not interested now. It should be talked about next week. Rev. Thompson of the Christian church knows the plan and will be glad to Udi you all about it if asked to do so. Col. Reppert has contracted with Colonel John Isenbarger to return next year as manager of the fair and his action will prove popular for John lias made good here. He works a little different than most fair managers but he gets there and results are after all what counts. He has ' certainly given the people a great! lair this year and with proper support he will make it still better next ' year. He has made note of several places where he can improve and he I has made many good friends here who will help him next year. We be 1 lieve every business man in Adams county should join the fair managers; and help make the 1924 fair the’ greatest ever given anywhere. If you | jdo we will have a state fair right

here in old Adams comity. In tl)« Atlantic Montly, Woodrow Wilson Issues a warning which will probably make but a slight impression on tlid people It should impress, hut It Is the warning of a profound thinker and keen observer. He sees danger to our civilisation in the materialism of tlie present hour; and he gees salvation from revolution only in tlie triumph of Hie spiritual forces over the material. He brings us up with a jerk in our cry against Hie Russian revolution with the reminder that that rising was tlie inevitable protest of the great body of the Russian people over their deprivation of all the rights and privileges that human nature demands and to which it is entitled, in this country he notes a disposition to treat men as things to be used and cast aside — like plows and horses. Never perhaps lias there been in evidence in this country a more cynical disposition to exalt the dollar above the man. We are money mad. This is showing itself in a thousand ways. It it is not understood by the few it is felt by the many. It is the arrogance of power. And behind it all lies the spiritual prostration of the people. Unless there is a revival there, we shall face serious times in the future. All this was clear to Mr. Wilson long before he became President. He dedicated his genius during the first four years of his Presidency to an attempt to right real wrongs. For that, more than for anything else, he is hated. For that, more than for anything else he is entitled to the gratitude of thinkers. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

Tire Stolen At Fair Berne, July 28—A tire and the rim from off a wheel of Ira Baumgartner’s Ford coupe were stolen Thursday evening while Mr. Baumgartner was attending the fair at Decatur. The coupe had been parked in a well lighted place and it seems strange that the thieves ventured to remove the tire in such a conspicuous place. Au extra tire which Baumgartner carried on his car was untouched, no evidence being found that any effort was ever made to remove this. The spare tire was contained in a cover with special distinguishing marks, and the thief evidently did not care to take the risk of being caught with this cover. — Excursion To Cincinnati The local passenger office of the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad company received notice today that excursions would be run over that line to Cincinnati, Ohio, on Sunday, August 12 and Sunday, September 9. The round-trip fare will be $2.75. An excursion train was run to Cincinnati a few weeks ago and a large number of Decatur people made the ' trip.
