This is "Save the Forest Week" and it becomes the duty of every good citizen to comply with the request to plant a tree. A clean campaign,’a good ticket, a desire to win and assist in the fight against centralization of government which is coming faster than a lot of you may think, will assure a democratic victory in Adams county next November. Former officials in Indiana owe the state 3271.887.51 according to the state board of accounts and steps are now being taken to collect same and the sad part of it is that a lot of it will be whitewashed in one way and another. Thats what makes expenses high or at least what adds to it and makes it higher. Jerry Butcher, 75, tried to get a marriage license at New Castle, Indiana, yesterday, to marry Rosa Smith, 13. Os course the officers denied him the right and if they do what they should they will bundle the old man up and send him off to the foolish home. if you don't think this is one of the good towns, just compare our light and power rates with those of other cities you know about and then credit up the fact that the officials are now petitioning for a new valuation and the privilege of granting a reduction. In most cities they are fighting increases of public utility rates instead of petitioning for a lower rate and folks thats something to think about. Bishop Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist church told the senate investi-| gat ion committee yesterday that what they needed to do was to tighten enforcement of the prohibition law rather than weaken it and he laid down a set of rules which he said in his opinion would, bring that about, lie represents nearly three million people in the United States who don't approve of the methods now in force and who believe in real law enforcement. Some say the decided defeat of Senator McKinley in Illinois the other day was because of his stand on the World Court, others because President Coolidge did not speak up, some because of his attitude on the liquor; question and others because Brookhart was ousted from the senate and we might suggest that another cause may be that the people of the middle- <>’< st and west are sick and tired of an administration which does nothing but boast of relief which fails to materialize. The 15Oth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be celebrated in a big Fourth of July celebration here, according to announcement made today. Contracts have be&n made for various features including a brilliant display of fireworks and invitations extended to prominent national leaders. The affair will be widely advertised aud plans now look toward the biggest affair of its kind ever held here. Such events are a splendid thing for the community ami deserving of suijport. Everybody knows by ibis time a little about the importance of forests, ever-renewed, to a thriving nation.

So the adoption of sound national and slate forestly-jtolicies is slow, and a long process of education is necessary. That education is what national "Save the Forest Week" —April 1824 —will help along. The single week, no matter what its activities, can't do all its name suggests, but it can push forward knowledge of the problem and enthusiasm for its solution. A statement of Theodore Roosevelt's needs to be recalled and emphasized at this time. He said: “A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as hopeless; forests which are so used that they can not renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. When you help to preserve our forests or plant new ones, you are acting the part of a good citizen.” 0 — m x xxx xx sx xxss2 xx x x 8 E X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 8 X R X From the Daily Democrat File ■ X Twenty Yeare Ago Thle Day K H * xx xx xxxxxxx xxx x x s April 20, 1906—San Francisco and Oakland are ash heaps.

Take a boy of thirteen years. When the dawdling age appears. And in him you'll plainly see All that once you used to be. Didn't know if tljeu. but you Seemed so weary, through and through. That when morning came you'd sit On jour bed and dream a bit. While your mother called below: '"Hurry! You'll be late you know!” Now he dawdles, just as I Did in days so long gone by. Fumbles with his clothes and seems Lost in boyhood’s golden dreams, Puts on stockings inside qut.

, , ■ jiff Congress Leaders Plan Adjournment To Bar Huge Proposed Expenditure By William J. McEvoy (United Press Staff Correspondent)’ Westerville, 0.. April 2 th —(United: Press).—Andrew W. Nelson would be out of a job and the Federal Treasury might well be closed if Congress were disposed to grant all appropria tions that have been sought during' Ihe present session. Only the repetition of an emphatic "no'’ by leaders in both Houses to demands for funds has prevented the hanging of a “For Sale” sign on the street from the >Vhite Hpuse, when the legislators start trpking home for the elections. With a campaign staring them in the face, members of the Senate and House, with few exceptions, have presented bills proposing the pxpenditure of federal funds for various and sundry projects in their districts. In addition to these pleasures, there have also been proposed numerous bills for ■ pension, farm relief, aviation and ' several other purposes, all involving big expenditures. Aware that the passage of any of I these measures might endanger the - and force an upward revision of tajes, ' leaders are planning Ip ajorn Con- * gress as soon as all necessary legislation is disposed of. Leaders hold high hopes now tor adjourning the I session by May 15. They arc certain , that if will not last beyond Juno 1. Exclusive of thc"home town" bills, such as measures proposing construction of new post offices, legislation is now pending in the House and its committees which, jf enacted, would cause more than $600,000,out) to be spent from the federal treasury. Relief for agriculture which has been demanded by the farm bloc would cost approximately s2oo,oofi 000 while a civil service retirement bill now on the House calendar would send $125,000,000 rolling out p£ upbuilding of the Army and nearly $200,000,000 has been passed oif fav-

Sleepily he moves about; And his mother, much distressed, A’ows he never will be dressed. "Hurry, son!” she goes to state, "Hurry, son, or you'll be late!" Long he bends above his shoe In the way I used to do. While the precious minutes fly, Long he fumbles with his tie. But I chuckle at it all As I hear his mother call: "Was there ever.” oft she's said "Such a little sleepy-head?” "Yes, there was,” I’ mutter low, "One you married years ago!”

orably by the Military aud Naval for Army and Navy Nurses at a cost of $50,000,000 and liberalization of the Soldiers Act calling for about $12,000,000 has been proposed. A penI sion bill for Spanish war veterans at a cost of $19,000,000 await cousideraI tion. | To all these proposals would be added more than $100,000,000 if members were successful in securing appropriations for all proposed river apd harbor improvement work. Aside from bills authorizations, hundreds of bills creating new government bureaus and reorganizing existing ones at an additional expense have been introduced. Ono the “must” legislation is opt of the way. leaders will press for adjournment to prevent a spending | spree which wuold|Cause recent tax 1 cuts to be of short duration.

INOCULATING OF SOYBEANS URGED County Agent Warns Farmers Against Sowing Uninoculated Seed By L. M. Busche, County Agent. Inoculating soybeans is essential. for the best results with this new| wonder crop which has taken such au important place in Agriculture. Although the practice was thought decidedly foolish a few years ago, exper-1 ieuce lias shown it cannot safely be neglected, in fad, some failures with crop cau be attributed to the fact that ' the »eed was uuiuoculated. In other cases great differences have been seen in adjacent plots of inoculated I and uniuoculated soybeans. Soybeans belong to the family. All legumes have bacteria on their roots which have the ability to store nitrogen taken from the air. Red clover although a legume does not require inoculation since it lias self inoculated through numerous years of usage. Although in many cases soys will do well when not inoculated, the practice should be observed the first time they are used in a field. Dirt for inoculating purposes should be obtained from a field where inoculated beans have been grorrrwrnrr the year previous. The dirt should he air dried and pulverized aud an inoculating mixture consisting of one pint of dirt in one quart of water should be mixed through one bushel of soybeans. The dirt, water and large measurer can be taken to the field and inoculating done just preceding sow-j ing. A bushel should be kept prepared ahead, since they must be dried some-. I what to permit sowing. I which may be purchased at elevators and feed stores are efficient, their, price makes their use almost prohl-i bitive. They have been used in many] cases however with complete satisfaction. —Q_ • • Congress One Hundred Years Ago ♦ — ♦ Senate: Considered the the president to carry on tile foreign relations of this country in connection with the announced plan of the chief executive to send ministers to represent the United States at the Panama congress of nations. House: Considered proposal for a canal from the Wabash river in Indiana to Lake Erie. , Considered appropriation request from president for funds Lp send ministers to Panama. —— o — “.May And December" Romance Hits Rocks; Separation Is Sought 1 Chicago. April 20.—(United Press) . —Chicago's latest "May and December" romance today was on the matri- . monial rocks as pretty 19-year-ohl Marion Frances Laramie sought a . separate maintenance decree from | her 58-year-old spouse, T. Fred > Laramie. . Tlie couple had been married only - three months and during that time • the youthful bride feels she has had i enough of married life, declaring she , was subjected to extreme cruelties -by her "father husband.” [ The* case attracted considerable > attention when the couple was mar ] Tied at Crown Point, Ind., as the [ girl’s mother, Mrs. W. C. Powell - sought the arrest cf both. | The mother said the girl had i announced she would win the affections of Laramie who had been attentive to Mrs. Powell. There was no arrest, however. o —— >You Must Tell ’em to Sell 'em-Advertise
