Ever hear a fellow who could have more troubles thau Goveruor Small, of Illinois, and continue to grin in a more genuine smile? Arrest and trials do not bother him evidently. Five banks in Denver closed within , twenty-four hours and during the same time several others quit over the ( country. Those good times seem to , be “still around the corner” and dog- ( gone still.

Os course you are going to church over the Christmas season but the biggest thing about it—for you—is to go in the right spirit, to worship and to think of those things for which this season is is- really the celebration. Those Adams county fellows may tune up their voices and win that pigcalling contest at Purdue, but the Wells county farmer saves his voice and gets the porkers to their'feed by hitting the trough with a club. The hogs understand just as well what's up.—Bluffton Banner. There's a great difference between grand opera and j uz. Berne won the basketball game ■here last evening and proved their claims that they have a good team. The locals have had a tough old season, but after all boys there's more in being able to smile and “carry on” under such conditions than there is in being good sports when you are winning. Thats the good of sports — to teach us to be good losers as well as good winners—to try as hard as i we cau all the time.

Adams county won second place in attendance at the National -JJairy i show held at Indianapolis in October, an honor which shows that the people of this county are alive to the importance of dairying. More than a hundred and fifty from Adams county registered, a splendid showing when the distance is considered. The interest was created through the boys and girls clubs, the cow testing asso- ' ciation and other farm bureaus and organizations. Over, Sunday will be a good time to make up your mind that you will gim something to the Good Fellows Club so the poor boys and girls can Rave a good time on Christmas day We are told by the Delta Theta Tan committee that there are more applications for asistance this year than for several years and they need another JViO to do the job as it should be done. After all its that feeling of having helped others to be happy which gives us all the greatest thrill on Christmas day. The open season for announcements by candidates for county offices comes with the new year and rumblings can <iow be heard according to the stories in various newspapers. So far there has been little said about it here, but it is known that contests for the leading offices will occur. We will nominate candidates for senator, representative, clerk, sheriff, surveyor, treasurer, assessor, trustees and for United States senator and congressman. The campaign promises to be as interesting as usual.

And now it is rumored he is seriously considering becoming a candidate for United States senate, thus securing the opportunity to say what he pleases, when he pleases, about whom he pleases and with the realization that the more he does it the more popular he becomes.

According to a bill that was presented to the United States Senate on Tuesday by Chairman Warren of the Senate appropriation committee, our county seat is to get an amdunt specified at $125,000 for a new postoffice building. People of the entire county should and will view this with much satisfaction for Decatur has certainly shifted along with a poor building for a long time. A $125,000 building would help Adams countypeople to take more pride in the county seat.—Adams County Witness. Oh, we don't have to carry an umbrella inside the building or any thing like that when we go after our mail, only we want a federal house since this is the only county seat in the district which hasn’t been thus favored.

Eleven men are needed for a team One star is not enough, however clever. Ten boys must help him if lie in to £leam He must have guards and tackles round him ever Once in a game I sa"w the star perform, Fleet as a deer he ran the field to glory. But had he run alone to breast the storm Perhaps the press had told a different story. 1 would not from the star take aught of praise. But left alone, unguarded, undefended Lespite bis brilliance and his daring ways Without that touchdown would his run have ended? Two boys were near him as he crossed the line, Who blocked the foemen as they sought to say him,

President Os U. P. Visits Coolidge Washington, D. C., Dec. 19.—(United I Press) —Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press Associations visited with President Coolidge at the White House this week. The Tanca Arica situation was dis-1 cussed among other foreign matters and Bickel, wiio is just returned from ■ a trip to South America, conveyed to the president personal greetings from General Pershing in charge of the American adjudication of the dispute at Arica. The president expressed keen interest in the hews between the northern and southern continents and saw in the increasing news requiremets of South America a favorable omen for future relations and understanding between the two peoples. Bickel was later a guest at a luncheon given by the Pan-American Union to the new Cuban ambassador, Rafei Sanchez-Abilii.

The trip to South America, from which Bickel has just returned, was in the interests of the United Press Association which is received by 90 per cent of the newspapers taking a press report in South America. lie arranged for an extension of the service iu all of the countries. / The bureaus of the United Press in RiopDa,-£anti-ago|i»ndJfie <jMargje'fl ini-person ell Lx .uct^O|o : tal|e ,ca|e of; thd inIcreiSagJfiTO^ffol?papers being served.

Their purpose was to help the star to' shine. To clear the field from all who might ( delay him. _ Then almost free towards the goal he ran, But one was left who would not give him clearance. With arms outstretched he plunged to get his man, But fell a victim to great interference. The crowd applauded for the touch'down made “A splendid feat!” the press exultant said it. But unto three my tribute now is paid— The boys who blocked the tacklers share the credit. Life is like football. One is lost alone! The line of friendship must give stiff resistance, Who fights a solfish battle soon is thrown, True greatness oft depends on great assistance.
