join tlic Benjamin Franklin High wny Absolution. They need your dollar ami they need your cooperation. tls a big project and a worthwhile one, A recapitulation of the votes in const css on important subjects shows that I’resident Coolidge got as ntnch or more help from the democratic members as lie did from the republicans. which may be another explanation. I s a big project and a worth interest in the coming election. The live lawyers named by the supreme court of Indiana to pass on the question of whether or not Rev. E. S. Shumaker. Indiana Anti-saloon chief, is guilty of contempt of court because of the accusations in his annual report have decided that he is and he will be duly punished bv that body If they approve the report The man who predicted this would be an unusually cool summer evi dently knew something about what h< was talking for while we hav e had no killing frosts nor have we had to resort to winter clothing, the temper autre has been far below normal. A( that we like it and with a prospect for the best crop in years we voice an appreciation for the wonderful weather. Hope it continues. Governor A1 Smith, of New York is visiting President Coolidge in his rummer tamp in the Adtrondacks, which may explain why tiie president has been putting his house in order and getting the live box full of fish. Os course they could talk about a lot of things that they won't but its out guess they will aaye a mighty line ,C«I'» h ..vr. is right and proper in this country where we ought all to be friendly whether wo agree on matters of government or not. liy the way the roads of Adatns county ate in excellent condition, a matter of enough interest that we should be just as loud iu our praise to Superintendent Magley and his deputies as we would tie in our condemnation if they were not. Its a big job, taking care of seven hundred miles of macadam road on a limited amount of maintainence money and when it is vvli done the men in charge certainly deserve the thanks of those wlto us e the highways. Take a took at the blue print in the window at this office and realize the importance of such a highway as the Benjamin Franklin, extending from Atlantic City to Ban Francisco, through the very heart of this nation, with practically no elevations that cannot he taken In your automobile on high, striking near many of the Important trade centers of th e country and yet missing the traffic. I s a splendid idea, supported by the state and national highway commissions and will within a short time be the recognized short and speedy and attractive route. We need a hundred more members in the Adams county association at one dollar each. Its to small an amount with such a big possibility that we don't understand how you remain out. Send a dollar to this office today and we will send yoAyour membership card. It has been supposed that educa-

I Hon was an antidote for crime. Yet a legislative committee in Ohio finds that crimes against property are relatively more frequent among men who have had hi*.U school or coUvgs Mining than among the IT! If prate classes. Also that the better educated prisoners ure more likely to be “repeaters." Crimes of violence, crimes against persons, are more frequent among the illiterate In proportion to their numbers. Bo are misdemeanors. But when it conies to important crimes sgainst property—robbery, embezzlement, forgery, etc. —it is the educated citizens who have the worst record. Even the supposedly superior intelligence of the edueuted doesn’t scent to serve them as It should, by showing them the folly of trying to get ahead dishonestly, when it is easier to get ahead honestly. There must be something 'wrong with an educational system that produces this result.—Evansville Journal.

Foreign trade figures for the t'nit- ' ed States in the fiscal year ending June 2d reveal a decided change from the previous twelve months. 11l the period just ended exports decreased ; and imports increased as compared with the year before. The decrease in sales abroad as measured in dollars was not great, the difference an nounced yesterday by the department of commerce being $111,061,960. Our purchases, though, jumped by $642,559.U5. Comparing the two years it will lie found that while In the fiscal year of 1925 our favorable balance in merchandise trade amounted to sl.012.651.497 the favorable balance in the year just passed was only $286.528.711. —Indianapolis News. .
