Over in Japan the rain camo as a God send, it putting out the fires which had raged for sixty hours. Although many think that we are gettnlg more rain than we need it will serve its good purpose and after the clouds pass over, the benefits Will bo visible. Seems like no one wants that Public Service commission job. At least those men who Governor McCray wished to appoint are trying to evade the appointment and who want it do not stack up with the governor. The governor is having his troubles and it seems that many of his so-called political "friends” are trying to make them worse. Headlines advise you that Firpo and Dempsey are ready for their bout to be staged September 14th, but the question arises, is the public ready to pay for their game? These two fighters have an easy job of. it and the way their press agents try to explain merits of the huskies is amusing. Why Firpo even goes into the ! kitchen every day and picks up a I raw piece of meat and chews it with I glee. Worth seeing, eh? Adams county will have a county I agricultural agent for the next two

years, the board of education reappointing, L. M, Busche, who has served this county so efficiently the past two years. Although wc do not protend to know much about farming, we believe that the services of the county agent can be used to good advantage und that the farmers of this county wish to benefit by his suggestions. Os all the sickening and repulsive things that a person could look at would be seeing Marie Price, unmarried mother of the dead child of John Whitfield, the murdered, on the stage at Cleveland. And yet the Price girl, who, though of tender years ,is old enough to know better, is being “billed" as one of the leading attractions of the season. Those who go to seb her should bow their heads in shame as much as the person they gd to see should. Until definite word is received from the two Berne men, Noah B. Gilliom and Joe F. Habegger, who might have been in Tokio during the recent earthquake and fire, the friends and rela tives of the two men in this county will be worried as to their safety. The uncertainty of the whereabouts of the two men and the probability that they might have been in Japan last week brings the terrible catastrophe-closer home to us and gives us an idea how the thousands in Japan and other countries feel about the safety of heir beloved ones. Recently government officials gave mt the statement that at the end if the fiscal year a surplus of many

millions of dollars existed in the treasury. The average citizen there'ore thought that federal taxes would >e lowered. But not so. It seems hat steps are being taken to increase the revenue for next vear and one of the proposed ways to Io it id to place a tax on billboards ind advertising signs along the highways. The old saying is that "figures don't lie,” but if taxes are increased something must be wrong somewhere. Adams county's quota in the campaign to raise funds for the suffering people of Japan is SI,OOO, and if you want to do a real act of mercy and help suffering mankind the few hundred dollars will be readily subscribed. Contributions may be sent to Miss Anna Winnes, secretary of the Adams County Red Cross organization or made through your church organization Sunday, and overy penny raised for the relief of the Japanese will be used for that purpose. Adams county has never failed to answer a call for help of this kind and we are sure that our quota will be raised within a few days. “In their determination to eliminate railroad crossing accidents, the cities of North Chicago. Illinois and Waukegan, Wisconsin, have passed ordinances which provide that all vehicles, automobiles, trucks and other vehicles used in and upon the streets and public highways within the city limits, shall when approaching a railroad crossing, be brought to a full stop ten feet therefrom and the driver ascertain if the way is clear before proceeding to cross. Penalty for violating the ordinance is a fine of not less than $5 or more than S2OO for each offense.” Don't sound so bad, nut regardless of all the ordinances and laws if a person is not cafeful, chances arc that smash-ups at railroad crossings will continue to take their toll daily. •— General Electric Man Was Killed In Japan United Prenn Stuff Uorrempondent Osaka, Sept. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Manager Woodbury of the General Electric company in Tokio is the only American whose death - ”In the Japanese capital has been verified thus far.
