F — — —- ——— HARD SURFACE IS CHEAPEST:— Thu following editorial has nppcared in the recent Issue of the Indiana Commissioner: "Adams county lias some far-seeing citizens who realize that the hard surface road eventually will become the cheapest and best road that a county can construct. "This county has a road organization made up of public spirited citizens who know what they want and have set about in the proper way to get It. The Decatur Democrat soundly advises the people <>f the county to give their moral and financial support to the association, pointing out that each part of the county must .be treated equitably in the mutter of hard surface roads,' on the theory that what Is good for one part of the county is good for all imrts of It. “Hard surface roads will not come I in a day or a month or a year, but as the needs of the county for this type of highway increase, the roads will come if the people generally are as progressive as the citizens of Adams county indicate that they are. ’Go getters’ arc the people who get Whitt they want, and if other counties are to keep abreast of the time the thing to do is to show some willing cooperation and a neighborly spirit. Nor does this mean an orgy of money spending and high taxes. On the contrary, it results In a rune and sensible progress whereby every citizen benefits with a minimum of taxes In comimrison to the seeds of the communities." Mr. A. G. Burry, former Adams county hoy who hus made good in the business world, heads a large manufacturing concern In Fort Wayne but ■ finds time to serve his community In a splendid way. came home to Ailums county lust night to talk to a hundred men, gathered at the Evangelical church. His subject was "Responsibility’* and he proved In a very business like manner that this does not eml with the suceimsful conduct of u busim ,-ui. Then- Is mon tlwii that to do and the average business man who can make good has but demon atruti'd that he is capable of helping his community, lie believes in the organised club which adds strength wnd he urges that these organizations co-operate in getting the minds of all and cs|H-cially the youth back to the thurch und a <b-nn and moral life. Mr. Burry Is clean cut and high class, speaks with a punch und argues with fori <>. We hop*- he returns often iaiereailng message*. The Aduins County Witness uaserts Itial Mr. Wltaon dl.d of remorse and disappointment. The greatest leaders in the country however assort that his health. broke because of strain In carrying to the people his high ideals und to urge them to act * wisely rather than politically. The great < rime charged against Mr. Wilson by the partisan press Is that he on< <>. asked during a strenuous period for a < ongress at his own party. No belter oxamide of petty iMditics has ever been exhibited in this country than that now being displayed In the cdHrrlul columns of « few newsl>a per*.

« The partisan republican press Is hard boiled. Even after the death of Mr. Wilson, one of the greatest executives this nation has ever had, they continue to mislead the public , by mis-stating the facts. It will! ‘ avail them nothing for the high ideals • of the ex-president will live In spite of all the mean and ugly things they can say or print. His influence was always thrown on the side of clean government and for the people and 1 as time passes thut fact will grow. 1 Though broken in health he lived to ’ know the high regard in which he I was held by a majority of Ids couni trymcn. | J"!'—L-ILU'BJ I **"! l ar I It will be necessary for some one I to explain more fully why the block eqiipiinent on the traction line near Fortville whore the horrible catastrophe occurred Saturday night, was permitted to be out of order for sev- '

ROBBERSWORK AT OHIO CITY Take $55.69 From Money Drawer; Escape In A Stolen Automobile Ohio city whs Halted by two bandits early Monday morning und several places were visited by them in addition to holding up Dell Longsworth station agent, and taking 855.69 from the money drawer. It was nt 3:45 o'clock that they entered the station. A train was on the track at the time and Umgsworth thought they desired to purchase tickets and so returned to the station They covered him with guns, grabbed the money drawer and ran. Edward Mason was putting mail on the train at the time and he didn't know of the holdup until after it was all over. Police of Ohio t'ity were

called and Deputy Sheriff Fred Boley was summoned from Van Wert, to ' catch the bandits. It was not until morning and day ’ light came that it was discovered the many activities of the bandits. It ' was then discovered that an attempt had been made to rob the sate of the Ohio City Lumber company. They were unsuccessful in the attempt but ( the knobs were pounded from the door. Their visit to the lumber yard had hardly been discovered before ft was found they had also entered the Ohio t’ity Equity Exchange. At thU place they stole only an Iron bar. The garage belonging to Harry Richards was entered but his auto mobile was saved from being stolen 1 only because it was torn down. This seemed to anger the men so much 1 they broke the windshield. It was late Monday morning that it was discovered that the garage be- < longing to B. R. Wise and had been ’ entered and hl* Willys-Knight auto mobile stolen. At about noon the -car ( was found deserted in Delphos and the chase was taken up from that ylace by Boley and Ohio City author) ties. The automobile was being traced this morning when rain came , an dobliterated the tracks Just as the i officers were outside of Delphos. I ongwith was able to give ex, ( cdlent descriptions of the two men and It Is thought likely that they may be arrested soon. The only clew left at the other places were finger- i prints left on the battered safe at he I lumber yard.’ United States Finishes Fourth In Olympic (James (United Press Service I Chamonix.
