The losing candidates can perhaps find some solace in the fact that they all ran ahead of the proposed const! tutional amendments. Its now up to the legislature to modify or repeal the primary election law. The republican platform contained such a plank and the election of their entire ticket and a legislature by a good working majority certainly puts it up to them. Now what? Here's hoping that both proposed tax reductions, that by the president which is to be retroactive for ten or twelve per cent of the amount already paid and that of Senator Swanson, dem at. for a real reduction on the annual tax. becomes laws before Christmas. That would be something ' worth while for the people. ____________ There should be no delay in securing the easements along state and 1 federal road number twenty-seven. This is one of two north and south < highways taken over by the govern- i ment for military purposes and it ; means much for this county. Ten < years from now you will be surprised ' at the changes along that route. Albert Stump is more popular today than any Indiana democrat has been for several decades and ha will prove a strong candidate in two years from now. If he decides to seek the governorship or senatorship then, look 1 out for him. His race against Senator Watson was wonderful when you stop to consider his youth and his-oppon-ent. Political writers are now discussing through various newspapers the eligibility of certain candidates for governor and senator in two years from now. waste et. spH.i e. for. what., will happen then depends so much on to select candidates now is but wild guessing. Mrs. Kimball, the Oakland woman who looks like Aimee McPherson has brought suit for a million dollars against the auburn haired evangelist, claiming dahiages aganst her character because Aimee attempted to prove it was Mrs. Kimball and not herself who occupied the now famous bungalow at Carmel-by the-Sea. We take it from the suit that her character was worth a million before the case camo up, which is a lot of money. The big job for congress will be farm relief, tax reduction, waterway improvements and roads, but the greater part of the next session will be to decide -whether or not to seat Vare and Smith. Its a peculiar thing that so many farmers voted for a continuation of the present administration when they know full well they camnot expect any real relief or any betterment in markets. The vote in Adams county was two hundred less than two years ago, a poor showing and yet -a better one than was made in most, places. In the state the vote was several hundred thousand less than it should have been and all over the country come similar reports. Why the apathy? It was an important election, especially in Indiana where office holders and office seekers had done numerous things to cause the public to lose f.un.ldence in them, but this should t not auve made any oue decide not to]

vote. Rather it should have been the cause tor an extra effort on your part. The small vote in comparison with the registration is being charged to ♦ho women. Why not change the nineteenth amendment so that*those who do not vote are disfranchised? Might as well let those who wish to vote run things and since only about half the people who are entitled to a vote are taking advantage of that right, it will save a lot of expense and effort to take the privilege of suffrage from those who do not use it.

The democrats gained 138,000 in Indiana in the recent election. If they can double that gain In two years from now they will find a sick looking lot of republicans and here's a tip that you can take or leave alone —If they don’t do something to make times better for the average working man and the farmer, it will happen in 1928. Its up to you republicans to make good and no farther postponement by talk or otherwise. The people are tired foolin’ around. This is American Education Week, dedicated to the task of universal education and generally observed in numerous ways. The week opened yesterday—“For God and Country — in the churches and follows with Consitutional Rights Day, Patriotism Day. Equal Opportunity Day. Armistice Day, Know Y’our School Day and Community Day.

Bin one remembered big boy Gene! Some thirty years ago, a lad. Crippled, and pale and, oh. so sad. Past all men's skill to help. Intent On learning, begged that he be sent. To school that ho might share the joys Life lavishes on healthy boys. The first day big boy Gene looked out And saw the wheel chair with the lad. So pale, so helpless and so sad. It troubled him. He quit the throng And said: ‘T’ll carry you. I’m strong." Into his arms he took the child And walked upstairs and proudlysmiled.

CELEBRATE • GOLDEN WEDDING (CONTINI'KD FROM l’.4«E ONE) er to relatives in this city: “Dear Folks: “Os course I know that a letter is due you from me and as I now feel that we have something of interest; to impart, 1 will try and do my best, to tell you of the Golden Wedding of father and mother. lam doing this just as it is recalled as I didn't ; take any notes of the service at the I time, so I hope you will take it as a j brotherly chat and not as any liter-, 1 ary effort. “Sunday afternoon we journeyed to the home of Floyd and Margaret . where all arrangements had been made for the occasion—and I must ' say that nothing was left undone that | 1 would have made the ceremony more 1 '■beautiful. “Old friends of many years and < friends that have been recently made I to the number of seventy-five had < gathered to help father and mother celebrate. There were several pres- 1 (mt who had known the fdlks more ihan 8® years. The living room had < been decorated with dotted plants and cut flowers and with an improvised altar gave the appearance of 1 a small chapel. Flowers were sent by friends from out of town by sev- I oral and together with our own could not be taken care of so the large front porch was used for several of them, i The friends occupied the living room while the families used the dining room which had also been decorated with flowers and a large white bell above the table. A large wedding cake filled the center of the dining table. "A short musical program preceded the ceremony. Mrs. Clark Hanna, a neighbor of mother’s, sang the two very beautiful numbers, “At Dawn- ] ing" and “I Love You Truly." Mr. Ray Winters, banjo, accompanied by Mrs. Winters at the piano, played “The World is Waiting for the Sunrise." These three ai Lists are wellI' known radio entertainers as they have been broadcasting for more a year. “Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played as the Rev. Arthur Wake Mg M n hehytul _ the altar. __ j loyd Burdg and Harry Tester, cairying ropes of fern that formed an aisle, took their places at the sides of the altar. Mary Tester, matron of honor, followed by little Virginia Rose Mendelson, flower girl and Floyd Tester jr., best man, were followed by father and mother. “I just cannot say how dear the folks loked to us all, but to me it was too sad. or maybe it was joy, but tears filled my eyes as father and mother took their places before the attar. How nice they did look standing there You really would have to have seen the setting to appreciate it. The minister used the regular Presbyterian ritual changing it to suit the occasion. Then a word of prayer and a nice talk all of which I cannot remember, but it was verywell chosen and made more beautiful a service that had already been glorious. Os course, the groom kissed the bride and the actual ’wedding' was over. The friends remained and a supper was served Gt for a king and queen—which father and mother are. at least to us children. The evening was spent in friendly conversation and music. “The folks received many beautiful gifts and letters and telegrams from those who were unable to come and all helped to make a bright California day just a little more brighter for us all. I might say that the weather was equal to a June day in Indiana. “It would take the folks a month to write and tell each one who wrote them about the wedding so I am going to take several proofs of this and If you get one you will know that it was their request that I should tell you all about it. "They received notices in all the small newspapers. The Evening ;' Herald, the largest paper in the city

BIG BOY GENE

For four years never came a day But when arrived that cripple's chair, The big boy Gene was waiting there. No other ever thought to ask For what was Gene's self-chosen task And to the end of school he bore That sad. pale friend from floor to floor. The twisted frame was called to rest. And time makes dim the passing scene, But one remembered the big boy Gene. “I tell this story now," wrote he, "That it may live in memory " And I repeat it. l*st 1 can, Because I know big Gene, the man.

in circulation, paid them a fine compliment by running their pictures and giving them a good story. “I will close hoping all of you may live long enough to celebrate your Golden Wedding with the love of us all, in California. L. N. T. "Loa Angeles. Cal., Nov. 3. ’26." o Obiturary Loran J., infant son of George and Marie Reynolds was born October 16 1926. Departed this life Nov. 5. 1926 Aged 20 days. The little one was i’l hut a few hours and while he was onlyspared to us for these few days, he was endeared by all who had seen him. The loving parents, grand parents Mr. and Mrs O. G. Hakes and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Reynolds, great grandpa.’ enU. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Young, with many other friends and relatives mourn. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon from the' O. G. Hakes home on Line street and the body laid to rest in the Decatur cemetery Our Darling He came as a sunbeam among us, But, Oh h<s stay was so brief. One day he was taken from us. Filling our hearts with grief. His face was like the sunshine. Ever displaying a smile. He left us. Oh so lonely We miss him all the while. God took him to Heaveu. He claimed him for his own. He is free from all life’s sorrows Never in sin to roam. We hope some day to meet him, We wait—the boatman’s call. To bear us over the river. Where shadows never fall. - ■ BROWN TO HEAD SALE OF SEALS (COXTIMI'ED FROM PAGE O!(E) program of disease prevention and cure is in prospect for 1927 throughout this county, if the response by citizens to the call of the Christmas Seal ex-cead--that previous years. ii. pointed out that the citizens ot Adams county responded generously last ; this ai>pc<ti for the saving of] lives.

“Your Health” Thia Column la conducted by the Adame County Medical Society and the Indiana Stake Modloal Aeeoolatlon in the Intoreet of the public's health. Children And Fear The bogey-man will get you If you don’t watch out—is a bad thing to tell your children according to the bulletin Issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Mecidal Association. “Emotions in children should not be played and toyed with", says the bulletin. "It is less dangerous to experiment with the child’s eyes or his ears Parents should always be on their guard against engendering fear in the child. “It is extremely unfortunate that many children are dizeipiined by means of fear. It is either a policeman, the dark, the giant, the bear, the bogey-man, or other imaginary being who Is going to carry them off if the are not good. Some parents are always going to give their children away, or go off and leave them. Children learn by experience that the threats are idle prattle. “Do not cheat the child by making him promises which you have no in-, tention of carrying out, and do not get the whacking and slapping dis-' ease, for soon promises and whacks, lose their meaninng. Cheating, wrightening, and bribing are all short-sight-ed methods, often used to the detriment of the child’s welfare. Few children are insensitive to praise or blame —lead them, don’t push them. “One of the first signs of nervous: fatigue or mental unrest in the child is irritablity. This may be preceded By restless nights and closely followed by capricious habits regarding food, either loss of appetite or finicky food habits; but to the parent, general discontent, fault-finding, and a feeling, lasting over a long period of time, of being unjustly dealt with at school, are frequently fore-runners of trouble. "As soon as recognized, the cause

of this iritablity should be aought first by asking such questions as: What is the general physical condition ot the child? Is he getting on in school? Dpes he get along with other children? Is he taking part in games and is he efficient? Has he any peculiarities or mannerisms? Is he developing a speech disorder, stuttering or lisping? Are the other children teasing *lm and why? What are his duties outside of school? Is he being tutored to push him along to another class or to keep him in the class he already attends? Does he take music lessons?
