Some fellow who digs in archaeology has discovered that seven hundred years ago the girls bobbed their hair, used lip sticks and rouge. Evidently the present day fashion Is as surprising to us as it would be to those of a few centuries ago and perhaps more. Some like the old fashioned girls the best, some favor the modern ladies. • une admire the flappers. As for us. we are for all of them, God bless ’em.

fort and more money to helping the community this year instead of seeing how much we can put away under our vests. The road program in Adams county for the coming year is the lightest in more than a score of years. Washing-' toil township is tin' only one which has a credit permtssable under the law which fixes the limit of road indebtedness to two per cent. Only two roads lire proposed for this yeui am! it is likely that will lie all of the new construction unless the state decides Io build which is not likely for lids year. At least the new order will aid In the ultimate reduction of taxes and should be a benefit to every ptaxpayer but in the meantime we should sei- that the roads we have built are well maintained. Former Vice President Marshall and former candidate and sometime Secretary of State Bryan have at last come togetlteron a platform on which both seem able to stand. It Is, how ever, not political but theological, and may be found in Mr. Marshall's Sunday address. “I for one." said the former vice-president, "am not much worried about whence 1 came. What I am worried about is where I am going." But sometimes a Journey's end is not wholly unrelated to its beginning. Tile prophet seems to have understood this, for he said: "Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, ami to the hole of the pit whence ye nr- digged." Origins, therefore, do seem to be important. But It is to this theological entente that the public interest will chiefly attach.—lndiana pedis News. y Adams county ranks sixth in the state for number of miles of Improved roads, according to the ofllc lai report from the state' highway depart meat. Just made public. The county has 717.59 miles of improved roads and excels one or two counties which rank alcove it because of the fad practically all of the milage in this i-oun ty is macadam while other counties have gravel Heads which are classed as improved. The showing is an ex cellent one and the roads are worth six or eight million dollar. It Is important that we keep them up and that we.take* advantage of any opportunity to continue the inarch of progress. Cnder the new state* laws we pay a heavy tax in auto license and gasoline taxes and we are certainly entitled to recognition. For several years our money has l**-t-n spent in the back ward counties.

house* tomorrow afternoon. Hope you attend. Those "chips of the old block,’ the sons of Major-General Leonard Wood, have only themselves to blame for the disagreeable position in which their efforts to get rich quick have placed their father. The heated us- , sertion credited to Leonard Wood. Jr., —that the investigation of his wildcat oil promotion is "a dirty dig at father”- Is a further proof that the young man lacks sportsmanship as well as Judgment, if no other infirmities of mind and character be attached to him in the* projected con gressional inquiry. The dirtiest dig that c an be taken at any man's father is when his son and namesake commercializes that name in a stockselling scheme, however gincere his belief in its virtaes. The* second son lias thus far avoided th** mistake of blaming any one* else for the predicament in which he has placed the Governor-General of the Philippines. Perhaps it has become apparent to him that the son of an American ad ministrator occupying the office ot his father's aide should have con strued his public obligation to be that of Caesar's wife. He did not make his elder brother's mistake of cap! talizing the family name through others. But h** did commit an offense against the reputation of public service* by engaging in vast, aud as yet incomprehensibly successful, gambling in the* stock market. —New York World.

Flood stage* is 35 feet and river men fear this will be reached. Government engineers are laying plans to strengthen the levees. The rise cannot endanger Memphis, which is protected by high Iduffs. o - —■ — •I ' l i - / Life la Sweet Life is sweet. To breath** the pun* air. To see the flowers fair, To greet the* morning sun.

General Black, who arrived earlv today after an all night journey from] Springfield, was deciding what steps, to take to quiet the tense situation, which climaxed yesterday when Sheriff George Galligan, from a sickbed.] penned a telegram to Governor Len Small, declaring the situation had approached the riot stage, and was out of his control. o— Nina Wilcox Putman Tells Bassett To Go To His Home New York, Jan. 9 —Nina Wilcox Putman has telegraphed Ellsworth Bassett, her personal representative that he had best go to his home in Madison.
