STATE ROAD AFFAIRS: — One motive only should guide in state road building liufl maintenance. That is efficiency in construction and upkeep, with economy in expenditure. It is precisely because of considerable success in that respect that some political groups sought in the last legislature to bring about a reorganization of the highway commission, on a wholesale scale. They tried to discredit its members and bring about, their downfall in a campaign to get! new commissioners, who might be convinced that a mixture of prac-. tical politics and road affairs could be made to prevail without detriment « to th., highways. In that drive the machinists failed. But .they have not I' given up hope. They are planning to < get control as the »ext move. Th" , Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, among others, is doing a public service in urging continued watchfulness. The highway department lias about < 2,500 employes. It spends annually | more than $15,000,000. Should such | an undertaking fall into the hands of a political machine, determined to. make service to th., machine in cam-1 paigns and elections the first consideration in awarding jobs, there would be an inevitable loss to the people. If, in addition to that, favoritism prevailed in the awarding of contracts!, ard th., purchase of materials, with ; political considerations having weight. I. it would boa sorry iftiy for Indiana e Political control of highways is , unthinkable to every sober-minded L i citizen. Hoad buildwg and road maintenance require a high standard , of administrative ability and tech- . nical skill. The\men so employed t should be chosen for no other reason. The people of this state, as ’ shown last winter, are disposetl to stand for what amounts to the merit system in highway control. With a , state primary nearing they should t be even more alert than usual for • any move designed to make of the department an ally of any party. < any faction or any individual.—lndianapolis News. _ I To have just the right kind of a ' Christmas every one must be happy. I The Good Fellow Club is an association designed for that purpose and for several years they have done much to create joy in homes where otherwise Christmas would be a dull and dreary day. The fund is now being raised by popular subscription and you are invited to do a share towards it. You will be happier too if you do. Senator Bob LaFollette, Jr., recently elected to the senate, will be accepted by the republicans, according to the statement of the politically wise Jim Watson, but of course on probation and with the club always over his head, that if he isn't good, he will be “bounced.” The truth is they are afraid of the young man and hi power and will try to “slick" him until they can get rid of him. The gift days in Decatur will be continued for the present at least, this having been the decision of the members of the Advertising Association at a meeting fetid last evening. These occasions have proven popular and will no doubt continue until some plan which looks better for the entertainment of those who trade in Decatur is advanced. Christmas is just three weeks away and you no doubt have a lot of things to do during that time. The sooner

ADAMS BROTHERS ENLARGE HOLDING Decatur Man And Son. Doing Business At Huntingtion, Making Progress An article was published recently Un the Huntington newspapers telling of the a< icomplisflments of L. D. Adams, of this city, and his son Rex Adams, of Huntington. Hoth nten are prominent lumber dealers in this part of the state. The Hunting ton Press published the following: | "Another Huntington county farm was bought yesterday by Adams Brothers of Huntington—the W. E. Chambers farm of 290 acres of land i with 140 acres of woods. Like other large tracts in this and adjoining 'counties, It was bought by Adams j Frothers, not for its possibilities in grain, hay and livestock, but because of a product that is becoming ious—wood"In recent* years Adams Brothers, not brothers really, but father and son. Lemuel D. and Robert Rex Adams, have come into possession Inf more than 2,000 acres of Hunting- , ton county land, and, although the j tracts are purchased for their timber, not a stick has been cttU When the 'saw is used on them, it is not the intention to clear the woodlands, but Ito take out the trees of size desired and leave- rpont for the younger growth to reah up and out and make I good logs. Although Rex Adams last , night denied that he is actually growing trees, lie at least is practicing forestry. “The Chambers farm is five and a half miles south of Huntington on the Etna road, in Lancaster township. Tile' purchase was made from Hie heirs through the firm of Lucas and Spencer, attorneys. Other tracts have been bought through this firm.
