It ought to be a good lesson 1 to him. 1 I Send in a dollar for a membership < card in the Franklin Highway Association. it will help complete plans for a state and federal road through 1 Adams county and that means pleas- c ure for you and business for every- ' one. Its a splendid investment. a ——» a Some folks claim that a lot of that r money from the Georgian banks was h sipent in developing the Florida boom c but where is all that business ability e of the administration so loudly talked 1 about when the “back to normalcy’’ ii educational campaign started a few e years ago? a The first requirement for police officers in the cities over the country 1 and perhaps the most important, is • courteourness This is particularly g true as to treatment of strangers. j Naturally they turn to the uniformed men to make inquiries and officers can greatly help or seriously injure a community. Its only six weeks to the first of V September and thats the date,, for the county fair and the annual Chautauqua. Doth should be big and should v provide amusement for thousands p Coopeiation on the part of each V citizen will make them better and the mor e enjoyable. Its alright to let !• “George” do it if you will be "George” new and then. The navy department. Mr. Wilbur, ■ t ■ . ,- . ' - ed tin- arsenal at Lake Denmark, N. > y a , Saturday night. There goes a lot more money and whpn they are through t.i -y probably can t tell just who lid cause the stroke of lightning i to hit tharsenal, hut hi this country we must have our little investigations even as to acts of Providence. 1 Earl PeJ is, democratic state chair- ’ man is putting all kinds of energy and effort into the campaign and by September Ist will have the best plan- f nod drive attempted in Indiana in t som year... He is calling in assist- J ants from many sections of the state 1 an l is capably looking after every de- ‘ partment of the work. We admire c his com age and we like his euthus- * iasm. The democrats are coming. 1 There is much sentiment here for I a corn ami <iairy show in October and to that can be added a calf club I ■ how. a fall festival, a program that | will last two or three days or a week if you want it. Os course it won’t just happen if every body keeps quiet about it but we know that a little “up and-at-’em” Just now would put it over and make it great event lor this community. Forty-nine banks in the state of Georgia have closed their doors since Monday and the list includes the Bankers Trust of Atlanta, one of the largest in the douth. If this should happen under a democratic administration. it would be headlined with regrets over the entire first page of every big paper in the couitry. Along with explanations of why no relief was given the farmers, tua highbind-

era may now study on one for this 1 evident lack of accomplishments audev the high tariff rale. Bob Scott escapes the hangman’s noose because he Is younger than his brother Russell who is to be executed October 15th. Both boys attemptid to hold a drug store up and eno of them killed the young man who was in charge. Judge Gemrnill has decided that Bob did not have the instinct to murder but was following his older brother. When twojneu enter a place of business and draw revolvers with their demand for money they usually intend to kill someone it they have to get the cash. Arthur Brisbane who syndicates wisdom each day, speaking of the Coolidges fishing, says we all like to fish because we all came from the water originally and we still have the instinct to go back. This learned and high paid gentleman may be able to occasionally convince the public of ideas but lie will have a difficult time getting this one across. We know a lot of folks who don’t care for fishing or, bathing or wading in mud puddles and we reseat his efforts to prove that the Coolidges are just overlgrown and educated fish. ( The work connected with making the Benjamin Franklin highway one of the greatest in the entire country Is going forward each day and within a few years it will be as much talked about as the old National road. Just now we are trying to secure four hundred members to tha Adams , county organization at one dollar * each. We need a hundred more. ( Please don’t put it off longer. Now is when you are needed. Be a pioneer and a charter member of this association and help put across a , splendid movement. j • Big Features Os * • RADIO ♦ FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright. 1926. by United Press Central standard time throughout WGY — Schenectady. 38OM.
