Quit complaining about what has been and will be and enjoy “what is." This is Indian summer and weather which ought to suit the greatest pessimist. II ■ 111 —W — As we scan the election returns we can't help remembering the boasts of Chairman Walb and others of a week ago that the majority for Watson and Robinson would be a hundred thousand or more. And tomorrow is Sunday, when you should remember that after all the skirmish of life is but a fleeting one and amounts to little as compared to the great election of where you will spend eternity. The election returns seem to have proven better medicine for Senator Watson than all the dope he was recieving front the nurses and attendants. He left the hospital yesterday and wiii rest a short time at West Baden before tackling the job of "saving the country.” The Adams County Witness says that considering every thing they feel that "Berne held up remarkably well on election day.". After scanning the returns carefully, we are also very well pleased, so there is "nothing to worry about.'' as Rube Wilkens wouW say. It required eight minutes for VicePresident Dawes to vote Tuesday, at least he remained in the booth that long. We haven't any idea wWut he was doing, but if it happened here he would immediately be labeled a "splitter." Perhaps he was just think- - , ing of something cute to say to the reporters when he came out. Now that election is all over and we can all be honest and truthful, '""J what* your idea of the prosperity of t the farmer, the coal operators, the W. < * cotton industry and the country in >' ■ general ? We hope it is all that was up claimed for it a week ago for we * feel that if everybody is making such 3 loads of money so easily, we ought to Phk up a lew scraps occasionally. "Spare your time and save a child." J. is a slogan urged by the Hoosier State T7- Automobile Association and with some *results. There is no reason why the J. * motorist who is sane and sober should ’ tear past a school house where children are at play, at an excessive speed but some of them do and now the organization is urging the teaching in school of greater care among the children. A word from the parents will help in this splendid cause. ' Road No. 27, which traverses Adams county north and south, is one of two main federal roads which run in that direction and will handle traffic from (the Straits of Mackinaw to Miami, „ Florida. In time these roads will be the two greatest roads in the country, it is predicted and no community can afford to do otherwise than co-oper-Ate with the government and the state fn securing the improvement of this highway. We have the opportunity now. Let's grasp it. Thurman A. Gottschalk was elected senator of Adams, Blackford and Wells counties by a majority of 3,391 votes. He carried this county by 2,340, which shows the high regard in which he Is held, took Wells by 1,102 aid lost Blackford by 51 and this

I without a very strenous effort. He P has served four terms in the house where he was twice minority leader, knows the legislative program well and will immediately, become a lead- , Ing figure in the upper house. He ■. bad the highest vote in this county. I .an- 1111 Seems as though u regiment of young fellows who have bad themselves appointed constables tn Marion J county are making a living by scour- ’ ing that part of the country for viola- > ; tiuus of tho motor laws, dragging the J driver* before a justice of the peace ’ at Ravenwood where he is speedily I found guilty ao as to receive the fee. Isn’t that a miserable condition of affairs? To offset it the Hoosier State Auto Association advises every one so arrested to demand a change < f venue to the municipal court in Indianapolis where the case will be decided upon its merits. All four of the proposed 1 amendments were defeated because of a lack of votes, though all four received more votes tor than against. Under the law a constitutional ‘amendment cannot carry unless it jeceives a majority of the highest vote cast for any office. If the supporters of any of these amendments wish them adopted they should clarify them and separate them from other matters. We believe a different registration law is desirable and necessary but to have supported that amendment this year we would also have had to favored separate elections for judges and trustees. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + OF RADIO 4 + BIG FEATURES ♦ +*++*+++ + + + + + + + ♦ Sunday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1926 by United Press Central Standard Time WEAF—New York. 492 M, and hookup. 8:15 p. tn. —Lea Leboschutx. violinist, and Maurice Dumesnil, pianist.

Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, today in a discussion of the congested school problem in the United States. “At the present time hundreds of thousands of children are on part time because there are not enough buildings to accommodate them,” Tigert pointed out, referring to the problem as one of the most pressing now facing the American public. • He ascribed the present laek of adequate facilities to the cessation of construction during the W, though the building program was ten years behind in 1914. Another ten years was lost due to the war, he estimated. And finally, he pointed out, The extraordinary increase in the number of children seeking education, as compared to 1890. an increase of 1570 percent in the case of high school attendance, has aggravated the problem of insufficient facilities. The solution proposed by Tigert was the general adoption of the platoon plan now in operation in a number of cities by which pupils are rotated through the school's facilities without actual resort to part time teaching. Under ordinary school admiuistra tion all pupils are given recesses at once, attend geography classes at once, take normal training at once, and so on through the curriculum, crowding each of the school’s facilities in succession while leaving the same facilities totally unused for other hours of the day and week. Under the platoon system recom mended by Tigert pupils would be divided into groups, using the various facilities in rotation so that all facilities would be in almost constant use and the pupils at the same time receiving constant instruction. o —— Just received a shipment of Satin and Metallic hats, price $5 to $6.50. 50 Velvet hats to go at $3.00 each.

/ • Suggestions To Water Consumers f

Meters __ HI. IM I I ■ IO II ■ • Water meters are furnished by the Water Department but the consumer is required to keep tho surroundings of the meter clean, dry and of easy access and protect the same from freezing. All damage done the meter by freezing or by hot water poured on or forced back through the meter is charged to the consumer. PROTECT YOUR METER TODAY. Frozen Pipes And Meters If pipes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and pouring hot water on. If there is a bad case of frozen pipes or if a house is to be closed for the winter it is best to secure the services of a competent plumber. Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubber piston and celluloid register. In case of a frozen meter call this department before the same thaws out and causes a damage to your property and a waste of water. Sill Cocks For Sprinkling Sill cocks or house faucets on the side of the house should be shut off in the basement before freezing weather and when this is done, the faucet should be opened so as to admit air, which will cause the water to run out at the stop and waste in the basement.* This procedure should be followed when it is desired to drain the house pipes. Air must be admitted at the top to force the water out below.

Tests of city water are furnished the State Board of Health and their analysis and report is on file in the office of the City Clerk for your inspection. For iurther information or for any ser- We are trying to make your water service call WATER DEPARTMENT, vice as near perfection as possible City Building, Phone 225. and your cooperation is solicited. -■ <, COMMITTEE • .

I Water Closets And Faucets Water closets and faucets should be examined frequently in order to keep the consumption of water on a normal basis. After a closet has been flushed and the tank is filled, there should be no movement of the water in the bowl; if there it, water is wasting into the sewer. By holding a piece of paper or cardbard against the rear portion of the bowl, a flow may be detected which an ordinary examination would not disclose. STOP ALL LEAKS PROMPTLY as “a waste of water is a waste of money.” ✓ 'I How To Shut Off Water The “shut off” known as the stop and waste, where the pipes enter the basement is your immediate protection in the event of a burst pipe or meter and also for the purpose of shutting off and draining the house pipes where and when there is danger of freezing; it should be easy of access and in good condition. In some basements it is covered with coal or it is in such bad condition that it cannot be turned. The man of the house should see that the stop and waste is in good order and that the folks at home know how to operate it.. To shut oft turn handle so that it is at right angle with the pipe, one-quarter turn or if a wheel valve turn to right until comply • ly closed.
