Many arrests were made over the state yesterday by officers awaiting the expiration of the time of grace extended by the state for automobile owners to secure 1926 licenses and plates. Orders from the state department now are to arrest violators of th ( . law so you take your own chances from now on with no right to expect leniency. Better get your plates on. A federal incoirffc tax man is here this week to assist those who desire his help in making up their income tax reports. He has headquarters in the Industrial rooms and is accepting payment on the basis expected to meet the requirements of the law. in case there is any change he will adjust, matters with you. Don’t put it off until the very last minute or you may get caught up and be required to pay an additional amount as a penalty. Its hard but there is no alternative. Final taps for another old friend and veteran of the Civil war, Daniel Kitson, whose summons to report to the Barracks Beyond, came yesterday. He had resided in this vicinity since the war closed, was a good citizen as he had been a good soldier, a faithful friend and a distributor of happiness. His comrades and his friends will miss him from the ranks of the veterans, thinning rapidly and at this sail hour, extend sympathies to the near and dear relatives. Protect the roads. Its a duty you owe to your community. The season is at hand when thousands of dollars can l>c done in a single day and (Tie only thing to be done after they are ruined is to repair them at your expense. We can save a lot of money and have better roads all this year by being careful the next few weeks and its as much your business to see that this is done as it is that of Superintendent Magley. He can't do it alone and he deserves your earnest support. Don't let any one ruin the road past your farm, the law is back of/you, so are the officers. The Elliot postoffice building bill seenis to have a right of way through congress and will take care of a hundred and sixty-five million dollars worth of federal building. It is the understanding here that the bill includes $125,050 for a building in Decatur, sufficient to take care of the needs and if properly expended should provide a very handsome structure. Since this is the only county seat in th.. Eighth district without a building of this kind, looks as though we ought not be overlooked. However, it may be well for those interested to keep an eye on it. , About three-thirty p. m. they begin to appear—a thin, rompish line, orderly enough at first, but soon widening and scattering, a vociferous and vfolatic throng. Little chaps from the primary rooms making their first real adventure iu the wide, wide world; whistling end shouting boys and laughing girls, all the way up to the higher grades; thrilling with lite, arms swinging, feet dancing—a happy, carefree company. Watch ’em pass. What a study in legs, sturdy, straight, bowed, but for the most part vigorous and dependable. Study the shoes. What is more eloquent than a child's footgear, especially a boy's, scuffed, misshapen, and frequently rubberless. How a boy despises rubbers! Ob-

Hats off! you who uncover in the presence of the flag or to honor some conquering hero. Here comes the most potent and glorious company the world knows. The children coming home from school! The America that is to be! —Goshen Democrat. Political writers for republican papers are smiling because the democrats are trying to secure the entrance into the senatorial race of well known men who will attract the attention of the voters. Don't let them "josh"’ you, however, that it is not a serious time for them for those on the inside well know that the G. O. P. in Indiana was- never in worse straits than they are now and that Senator Watson will have the battle of his life to be re-elected next November. There are so many different brands of anti-Watson men in the state that the foxy politician can easily be unseated by a high class candidate who will stand by the people. , If the people of this community wish to complete the organization of the Adams County Agricultural Association. they should give Mr.-William-Von support, which does not mean that you should sign for stock and then forget about it but that you should aid iu securing a sufficient number of members to assure success, that you attend the meetings to which you ar e summoned and help plan. In other words more enthusiasm is need. Just now, Mr. Williamson has devoted several months in preliminary work to bring the movement to where it is now. While he is hanging tenaciously to his job, he would like to see an awakening to the importance of the big task now ahead of him and the community, if wc are to make a success of it. We can have the best grounds and the best fair in all the middle west if we will just “lick in” and get it right now. o 55 55 55 55 55 K 3 3 3 3 3 3 55 55 S! 55 55 55 K 55 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 55 55 55 55 From the Daily Democrat File 55 55 Twenty Yeari Ago Thia Day 55 55 » 3 55 333333333X33333 Feb. 17, 1906—Miss Alice Roosevelt and Congressman Nicholas Longwroth married at White House at 12:14. noon.

THE TRAFFIC COP OFF DUTY

Tiie traffic cop, he bawled them out . The rich, the great, the low — At one and all he’d loudly shout And tell them where to go. He merely had to wave his hand Both men and wogien to command. All day bvneatli his awful eye The populace wifs swayed. Men stammered out their reasons why Some left-hand turn they’d made, And every living soul was meek And scarcely dared to him to speak.
