We don’t object to bobbed hair or rouge or short skirts or bridge or golf or any of the new ideas of the girls, but we just wonder who is going to wash all the dishes after a while. Indian summer was back again this morning and everybody enjoyed the' blue sky, the bright sun and the mild , November weather, but iu the east they were recovering from one of the worst storms in history. The stable in which John Wilkes Booth kept the horse on which he es- 1 cai>ed after shooting Abraham Un- 1 coin has Wen sold. It was purchased ' for $4,950 by one Jeremiah O'Connor, ’ who probaldy expects to turn a nice 1 profit by passing it on to Henry Ford. ‘ -r i L —■ In an address in which he present- l ed a park to his home city of Empo- t ria, Kan.. Editor William Allen White ' declared that one gets three kicks out •- of every dollar, "the first when you t make it, the second when you have > it. and the third when you give U < away.” I ——— l ( The republicans seem to be worry- f ing that they won't get credit if they f reduce the income taxes this year i even though there is a surplus of over £ three hundred million dollars. Couldn't j there be such a thing as doing something for the people when it ought to be done even though it might not re- . fleet politically and after all isn't that the best politics? <i Have you joined the Red Cross? Your dollar is needed and desired and the women who are giving their time ( in making U.e canvass should be heartily encouraged. If you haven't y renewed your membership, do it this week, remembering that this fund is to be used in«giving aid when and where it is needed by the greatest baud of mercy workers ever organ- , ized.

Chari t A. Klima, indicted in New York for having five wives, from ( whom he is said io have secured sll,- , 600, has added insult to injury by < uttering a foul libel on the trir sex, ' saying: “I'd blow into a town and 1 right away the women would get me drunk, and when I got sober I'd be married." He ought to be locked in a room with the five slandered ladies armed with rolling pins.

Every year brings disasters and no , one knows when or where these may j fall. It may be in the form’ Iff al tornado, a disastrous fire, an earth- < quake, a mine horror, an explosion, a : hundred ditterent ways and it may be where you or your friends are. While oilier things . bout it piay be in doubt , there is one that can be depended upon and that is that the Red Cross 1 will be there as soon as is possible, doing they can to relieve suffering and restore noMtial conditions. Won't you 'ire a dollar to such a cause? The state of Wisconsin, it is ad-1 mitted by every one who has driven that state, has as fine roads aS in the country. Does it pay? It does. T. J. Donaghey, state statistician has just announced that 3,600,000 tourists visited Wisconsin this year, a gain of eleven per cent over the previous year. They spent $90,000,000, an income as great as almost any industry in the state.'' The report also shows that each car carried an average of J 5.5 persons auu that they spent!

| $10.05 per day and each remained an ’ average of five days in the state. The Fort Wayne News used almost all of their editorial space, a cartoon and a fourth of the- front page last . evening to prove that Mr. und Mrs. ’ Ellingham and son, Miller, are low- , down, disreputable folks, liars and base deceivers of the worst kind, but failed to convince any of their legion ' of friends in this section where we I think we know them fairly well. Its all the result of the controversy over the school management In Fort Wayne i which seems to be reaching the acute stage where something will have to be done, Guy Brown will start his sale of Christmas seals December Ist and we hope he puts it over big. He will if It can be done for Mr. Biown has hud the experience in several campaigns of this kind, organizes well aud keeps at it. Last year he sold 67,000 seals and this year hopes to increase the amount to 100,000. Lets all help him do it by using a few more than we did last year. The little seals add to to the appearance of your Christmas I packages and .establish you as a booster for a good cause for the proceeds go to the Adams County Tuberculosis Society to be used in fighting a dread disease.

One of the property owners along the Monroe road called on us to state that he did not believe that all should lose the improvement because a few did n6t care for It. but that's the unfortunate part about it. Unless all agree to provide the ten foot easemi nt, the state will uot proceed with the work and if we lose this opportunity there is no way of knowing when or how it will come again, its something to be thinking about alright for the law whereby the road is built without cost to the property owners other than the moving of his fence, may be changed at any time. In Ohio the cost is charged against the farms benefitted to the extent of fifteen per cent. There is no bluff about this. Its just plain facts. Its a case of yes or no, either we want it or we don’t. Which is it?
