Michigan Avenue, Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City N. T. Life Building. Kansas City, Mo Any way Governor Jack Walton of Oklahoma has the satisfaction of knowing that since he started the fireworks there have been no floggings in his state. Adams county seems to be holding her own both as to number of marriages and number of divorces. In 1922 this county issued one hundred and sixty-nine marriage licenses and there were twenty-six divorces granted while in 1916 there were one hundred and sixty-five marriages and twenty-five divorces. Every day or so we read about some sleek, fat politician going to j Washington and reporting his state for President Coolidge or some other, candidate. ’Aint that nice? Who. is the one tejlow in any patty in Indiana who can deliver that kind of a dish? Whoever he is we say he is some guy and we would like to look him over. It can’t be did. The mix up in Oklahoma is serious to say the least and if they get down' to earth without loss ot life and great' damage to the state and her bus!-, ncss, they will be fortunate. That s where these things lead and that’s 1 , why we should stick to the constitu- i tion and to the government as established by our wise forefathers. The tax rate will be around thirty cents according to information from, Indianapolis. The administration is, far in debt and if they finish within the limit there will have to be an in-( crease of five or six cents over the present twenty-seven cents. Some of them want to leave the debt hang over and let the next administration do tlie worrying, a scheme frequently used in the past. The Indiana state highway commission cost the state *536,190.38 the last year for overhead alone, most of, which was for salaries of employes. Wouldn’t it be better if about *500,000 , of that amount could have been putj on the roads under the direction of. the county surveyor and county road superintendent? And that’s not all the waste for it costs them twenty per cent more to build and seven or eight times as much to maintain the roads as it does under county or township plans. We all want good roads but it looks as though they could be had for less money. The response to the Red Cross appeal for *I,OOO in this county is most! gratifying to those who have bee.ni devoting their time and energy to tire work. The offer of SIOO to complete the desired SI,OOO if the sum’ reaches *9OO will soon be accepted. Today the total was within thirty dollars of the nine hundred and it is expected that by tomorrow this will be reached. The cause is a worthy one and while other counties are having a difficult task, old Adams as always will more than make good. Its a wonderful record for a worth while cause—helping the quake stricken thousands in Japan. At the sale of the assets of the Home Builder's Association next Tuesday evening there will be offered five residence properties, thtee of them modern and thirty-four splendid building lots. These can. be purchased for much less than cost and this g’ves every one ’• ho desires

to build an opportunity to secure s dandy location. If you want to buy a home here is u chance. If you ex pect to build get one of these lots at a bargain. If as a result of their sacf ’ rifice a number of new homes would ’• be erected the stockholders of the , building association would feel amply repaid. Attend the meeting Tuesday night and take advantage ot the ■ sale. 5 s Wayne Bushman.
