Ex-governor Lowden, of Illinois, in trying to figure it out compares pig. y V ith pig iron and finds that pig iron ran forty-four (lavs at the same price and that pigs jumped up and down six times with a variation of thirty-seven per cent. * ★ * * There is certainly something wrong, radically wrong with the market conditions for the farmer when fortv-five bushels of coni are worth more than sixty, when twelve billion bales of cotton bring more than thirteen million bales, when two-thirds of a pail of milk is worth more than a full pail and when rain which breaks a drouth is the harbinger of bankruptcy rather than good luck in a bountiful harvest. And yet how far from this are we today when the great leaders of the nation argue that the only way for a farmer to get more profit is to raise lc s crops? We claim its a mighty serious coni] it ion. -★. * * * Three Boy Scouts, Harry Dailey, Chalmer Fisher and Robert Heller have been advanced to the first class, an accomplishment which requires, considerably time, effort and achievement, these being the first to receive this honor in the local camp. To be a first class Boy Scout, the youngsters must have the qualification' which make them real boys, courageous, willing, courteous, manly and worth-while. We congratulate them and we hope that hundreds of Adams county boys will follow in their footsteps for the training is excellent and the results always for the good of those who thus succeed. ★ ★ ★ ★ Colonel William Mitchell who had thoughts about the management of the air service under the war department and who expressed them out loud, was found guilty by the five army officers acting as judges of the court-martial hearing and has been suspended from service for five years. He may continue to wear the uniform and live in the barracks if he so desires but he can in no sense serve as a soldier. He was technically guilty no doubt, but yet it seems there was no other way in which he could bring his ideas to the attention of those in charge in such manner as to secure results. Many of his ideas have already been established and others have been recommended by the president, so it seems the sacrifice thus made by Colonel Mitchell may i J"r all be worth while. * * ★ * A man may have a trade and work at it and still land in the| poor house.

Cut Appropriations Hurt Marine Corps Washington, Dec. 18. — (United Preus)—Repair, remodeling and upkeep of temporary buildings housing lhe Marin** Corpn In some parts Io save the cost of appropriations for per nianent. structures Is wasteful of both time and money, .Major General John A. Lejeune, Commandant of the Marine Corps, told Secretary of the Navy Wilbur in his annual report today, advocating new structures. "Conditions are not improving In regar dto the building situation," Jx»jeune said. "Quarters for officers and men consist of remodelled temporary, wartime buildings, now about eight years old. Their condition Is such that the work of repair and upkeep is wasteful qf both time and money and the shelter afforded is neither adequate nor suitable." I.ejeuue declared that the reduced appropriation for the Maripes for the fiscal year 1926, which resulted in the disbanding of the Sixth Regiment and considerable reduction In personnel of other regiments, has been keenly felt throughout the corps. o— Huntington Masons Are Raising Fund For Home Huntington, Dec. 18. —Following the appointment of a building commute yesterday by Earl Goble, worshipful master of the Huntington Masonic lodge, members of another special committee met last night to check the membership list of the organization in preparation for the drive which will result in the raising of funds for the building of a Masonic Temple here.
