Mo Governor McCray admits he is low ' on assets and long on liabilities and ; that for sometime he has devoted but [ a few days each year to actually farming. Naturally a man who lias so much financing to do is kept rather busy without any haymaking, corn , i plowing or hog feeding. His i ligHt is F * sorry. Hiram Johnson of California, for . many years a progressive leader, runs ’ ning mate with Theodore Roos velt r ’ i in 1812 and a candidate for the rest/ publican nomination in 1929, has cast s* his hat in the ring as an aspirant for presiilent in 1921. He will oppose Mr. uJ. , I Coolidge and all other comers and will contest on the grounds that the -,/k present reactionary control wiil never ; ; 7' get any place. His headquarters are c- in Chicago and ho-will appeal to the west and central states largely' for support. He will have to be reckoned with. Today is the day for the Red Cross roll call in Decatur and Adams counjpH ty. It is hoped that at least one thousand memberships will be renew- 1 fjT ed. No organization is entitled to K'l. your hearty support more than the Red Cross. It is not only a splendid Bk thing for war times but for disaster nJ times and no community knows when they may need them. Help the Red Cross and show your real desire to r aid the greatest cause in the world iV'j" —administering to mankind in times ’ of nped.. If you haven’t given youi I dollar do it now. t T The Harding highway, a coast to > coast route, will come through Decatur to Huntington, it was definitely announced by representatives of the proposed highway, here today. The telephone poles will be marked “H H” with arrows showing turns and directions and the road.is to be made one of the popular onos. These routes help the cities through which Uiey pass and Decatur is glad to be favored. The road through here will, it is believed, shortly be a state road and will be improved through the entire state. It’s a rotten, dirty, crying shame to spend thousands of dollars on the state highway from here north and get a bum road twelve months in the year and there must be some reason for it. To be square we must admit that most, of the state highways are kept in splendid condition but the j stretch from here north is far from it I and those who travel it are sick and tired of the facts as they exist. We havii't the least idea in the world who is in charge of the section of road ’ but whoever he is, he should make a j trip to some other section and find I out how they do it. A month's work now would make the road passable i for winter perhaps and it certainly needs some attention. One ot'Jhe most luminous comments made lately on the German financial situation is that of a financial writer in the New York World. Observing that on the previous day the German printing presses had brought the total issue of marks in circulation up to 521 quadrillions, he did a little fiyiur-

Ing. The exchange value of marks in Wall Street on that day was four quadrillions to the dollar. At that rate, he found, the whole issue could he bought for $103,000. Dividing $103,00u by the population of Germany, the writer found that as far as the mark was concerned—and Germany had no other general medium of exchange—that country was "trying to do business on a per capita circulation of one-fifth of a cent." It can't lie done. The American people require, ordinarily, about SSO real money per capita in circulation to furnish the lifeblood to business and industry. This is 25.000 times as much as the Germans had on the day referred to. and they are worse off by this time. Speaking in Boston oil June 13. — Bunker Hill Day—former U. S. Senator Albert J. Beveridge char-, acterized in tile following unequivocal language the American mania for law making: "Government supervision of ami interference with human life and activities in the United States bid fair to break down our entire experiment in popular self-rule. "Consider the appalling fact: One adult person out of every twenty persons engaged in business or industry in this country is a government agent, official or employe. I mean, of course, all government, county, city and national. • ♦ • Today all the gold known to exist in the whole world would barely pay the total cost of government in America for only a single year. Another astounding fact is that Ameri- I cans are forbidden by law to do more things, and by law forced to do more things than were the Russian people under the Czar or th:? G fifnan people under the Kaiser. Moreover, nearly all of these repressive, oppressive and j autix ratio laws and regulations have been forced on the statute books by selfish minorities of whom our law-■ makers and administrators are in terror. * * * Let our laws be expressions of the will of the majority instead of ukases of the minority; and: enforce all laws with absolute equal l ity. Uphold the American Constitutions—all of it. not merely such parts of it as suit our fleeting whim or passing convenience; support American institutions against every assailant, foreign and domestic, open or covert —all American institutions, not merely some American institutions.” THE KITCHEN KETTLE’S SONG. Why does the kitchen kettle sing? It cannot fly, it has no wing; It often has a gray snout, No powder-puff! But it doesn’t pout. It wears the same lid every year Without complaint! It’s sort o’ queer! » Seldom receives a .word of praise, ingratitude doesn’t hush its lays, ft sings for joy that it has a chance, If it had feet, would doubtless dance. To help someone begin the day
