First to enter he has been showered with attention. He will be educated as he is treated ami will no doubt receive the care which will best provide him for the future. Hundreds of friends and acquaintances here are hoping that he will be made well and strong and appreciate the opportunity given to an Adams county lad. According to the records as closed by Ed Jackson, secretary of state.l and governor-elect, Willoughby has' defeated henton for judge of the supremo court by one vote and this he did in face of sworn statements from the clerks of Sullivan and Howard county, making corrections which would give Denton 450 majority. Suit lias been filed to force him to make the correction and a lot of people will wonder why it is necessary to go to court to make an officer do his duty. It ought to be interesting. It must*be ten years ago that the government purchased the Niblick lot on Liberty Way and Third str its for a pQstoffice site. We were to have a federal building within two or three years. Then the war camo on and the “pork barrels" were sidetracked. During the past two or three years a number of these beddings hive been erected over the country but so far no mention has neon made of the Decatur building Every county seat in the district ex- < lit Decatur has such a building and, we believe that a little effort on the part of Congressman Vestal and Senator Watson and Ralston would provide one here. We suggest that you who favor it, write to these men and urge them to include this city in the next bill. Floods, fire, earthquakes, cyclones visit various communities in this country each year. We have no v.ay, to determine just where they will wreck havoc or when.* The Red Cross is always the first relief on the ground after such a disaster and with a wonderful system and with finances 1 on which to draw they nave established a splendid record for helping tn times of need. If Adams county has :i chapter they may call for aid front the national organization when needed. Most of the money raised in' the campaign is retained here’ and is fs d for charitable purposes, ft is, t

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face T. r. With r. HERMAN A. METZ r. Famed Comptroller of New York I By Joe Mitchell Chapple 8 When Herman Metz begins to tell • a story in his own characteristic way. • they crowd in to listen. Although 0 Conptroller of New York for only four 5 years and that was a long time ago, ® the people of New York insist upon • calling him Comptroller Herman A. • Metz. A comptroller that controlled: 1 he gave the city of New York an administration that will never be forgotten and gained him a nation wide reputation. As a native born son of New York he enjoys real distinction in his home town. | Herman A. Metz has held his own against the millions of other trained men. Educated in the High School and Cooper Union Evening School, he later received the degree of Scien-1 tific Doctor of Union College, | Schenectady, and L. I* D. at Manhat-j tan College. Herman A. Metz is primarily a business man and a manufacturer of dyestuffs and chemicals, president of the H. A.Metz Laboratories and Ettrick Mills. As a member of the Hoard of Education of New i Y’ork City and Commissioner of the J Board of Charities, he has invited .rather than shirked his share of pub- < i lie responsibilities, as a loyal citizen I |of New York. In 191.3 he was a member of Con- • gross and was “present and voting." 1 There are old colleagues in Washing- ! ton who still express regret that Her- I man Metz did not continue huger in 1 Congressional service. In a single I term he made a record in the 63rd I Congress that is remembered as his work of Comptroller is recalled. < | Early and late he is busy with his ' work in the Metz laboratories, sur- i rounded by yarns and materials tinted with all rhe colors of the rainbow. He understands yarns and dys. for his 1 company has proven that the dye- 1 stuffs and chemicals produced in 1 America rival that of any in the < world. The comptroller is a medium sized I man. He is a natural born wit with ’ a sense of humor highly developed, i he can be severly frank and prudent : in his remarks. A member of the i | society for exploitation of biology, a Mason and a member of the New 1 .York Society of Naturalists and Zoo- '

Adams County Witness and Daily Democrat. The feature page was printed in this paper last evening and we ask you to read it carefully for ‘ we lielieve it will inspire you to the • great work for which those engaged in educational instructive lines artgiving their very best efforts. The 1 paragraph which stands out is this —“What are we doing in Adams county? Are we being intelligently i taught? Are pupils responding properly to the efforts made to instruct them? Are the taxpayers of Adams county ably represented by its school officers and teaching staff? Are the ' taxpayers getting their moneys worth?" We believe all questions answered truthfully will be affirmatively answered and that we will be prouder of our schools and our) teachers and officials as a result of the campaign this week and that the 1 good work will go on, that Adams 'county may always lead in education.! ’ : Laporte. — After fifty years of wrangling and litigation, pavement of Rose street, has been approved.)

m v 1 HERMAN METZ says: “Sometimes we go too fast and forget that progress is one development leading to another It is well Ito moor your bark with two anchors.”. I legists determine that he is a student | and has well defined hobbies. First of all is his family and his borne, where lusty sons keep mother <nd father busy. Although Lieutenant Colonel of the, 14th Infantry of the New York National Guard, there is nothing of the martinet about Herman Metz. A ttickler for system and discipline in all that he undertakes, he is an i apostle of thoroughness. “Sometimes we try to go too fist and forget that progress is one development leading to another. Even a single hair casts its shadow and mud be reckoned with. Friendships are first bound firm with a thorough knowledge of yourself as well as your friend.” . I As I was leaving. Herman Metz could not resist: “What do you think of man who would ride a horse in the middle of the night?" I innocently said —“Who was tha‘ ” “Listen to me” he continued —"It, was Paul Revere.” A page of school I history flashed before my mind as 11 left him with a merry twinkle in his eye. Sitting among samples of yarns, there was a suggestion in that to the visitor that there was an ample supply of long yarns on hand, but be-1 side the desk was a tin sign with* a big hint—“ Don’t” park here.”. Herman Metz keeps moving and makes the minutes count in the rush of a whirling business day in New York.
