’ Cooler weather is promised for tomorrow and it will be a relief. In a short time we will be grumbling about the cool breezes and complain-, ing of the fact that we overlooked putting in fuel, that is those of us will who have failed to do so. We hope they find the cause of the deid fish in the St. Marys river at ' s’ort Wayne during the next month. for after the sugar factory starts they won't search any farther but | imply declare the cause to be here, i It hasn't been and we are sure it h won’t be this year for the refuse ; water is to be drained ino a large i filtering reservoir. The company his . been forced to spend large sums every year and now it is discovered that i the cause is elsewhere. The first course of stone on the i stat< highway.

It would bo fine if each school in Adams county 1 j had an acre which contained the native trees and shrubs.' There are 1 sixty-six of them. Everybody feels joyful today be- ; cause of the news that the navy sea- i plane PN-9 No. 1, floating in the Pacific ocean since September Ist., has been found, with every member I of the crew of five, alive. Wonderful i as it seems, the men have been saved after all hope had been abandoned. ‘ Usually these tests of lighter than . air machines pnove fatal after accidents similar to this one and there is > a feeling of genuine rejoicing that these brave navymen will live to recite their thrilling experiences. The city of Huntington will resurface ev“ry brick pavement which has -not been so improved, with asphalt, > next year. They have tried it out | on several streets and find it so satis-' factory they have decided to complete the job. .The preparation makes ths finest, kind of a paved street it is claimed, gets rid of all the ruts and adds many years to the life of the pavement. There are several streets in Decatur, particularly Winchester, where this could be done to a good advantage and the cost Is much less than a new street. Only three days until the big fair opens and interest is developing 1 rapidly now. Those who have been ' at the grounds and watched the preparations are boosting the 1925 fair for there is every proof that it is to be a hummer. Those who attend the opening Tuesday evening will be

Mothers are careful with cookies and ' cakes. Mothers are uyi when a smal tummy aches. Mothers refuse, for the good of the child. I However it hurts him, to let him run wild. But grandmothers spoil them. You know that is true. They don't have the caring and curing to do. Mothers insist in a manner most grave On the way that a good little child '' should behave, They lock up the candy and turn from ' the door Refusing to give "just one little piece more," But grandmothers spoil them. You know that is right, They lock up the candy and turn half the night!
