If your New Year resolutions are still running on. six cylinders, you are safe anu can start on a long trip with safety. Isn’t Chicago an unusual place? Though they averaged a murder a day the last year, one concern sold over 150,000 Bibles. They must have a lot of both extremes up there. “Ma" Ferguson is doing her best to reach 3,000 pardons by the time her term as governor of Texas expires on the 18th of this month and indications are she will reach her ambition as the number now is 2,979 and she has teu days to go. ill er j Most of the license plates you notice on the cars are green and white which means that they haven't secured the 1927 model for they are I black and white. There will be a grand rush about the last week of ! this month and if you don't watch | out, you'll be in it. Connecticut has sixteen women in ■ the legislature and Illinois, Maine. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio. Pennsylvania and Vermont each has live or more. There are 132 women , legislators in the entire United States ' this year, largest number in history it need not surprise you if in another I decade they will control the law j making bodies. Thais the trend and whether its good or bad, you may as well prepare for it. Tomorrow is Sunday, which should j mean to those who really desire a iieitei condition, go to church day and especially should this be true of those who desire to assist the six churches which will open special evangelistic services tomorrow, liemember tile slogan, ' The indivdiual's place In the life of the church," think | it over and see if you don't conclude I that this means that you ahve a responsibility as well as the pastor and the others. That Adams county is continuing' 1 her march to progress as to roads is , evidenced by the report of Charles E. Magley, county highway superintendent which shows that thirteen miles of macadam were added to our splendid system, totalling 695 miles. This with th e twenty-four miles of state road gives us more than seven linn- 1 fired miles of improved roads. The sum of $109,309.78 was spent during the year and the department starts the year with $19,310 on hands and equipment totalling $14,475. It costs . money but we are getting something for what we spend and Wo wouldn't give Up our roads and go back to tie mud for several times the expense. Os course you don't like the order from the state board of health to muzzle your dog or keep him under safe control, but It Is wise tor you to comply with it. Dr. Vizard, health commissioner of Adams county requests that you do so and police officials will be ordered by the state bburfi to enforce the order. It should be understood that this is not being done for any reason except as a safe guard tu the people of the state. Hables have been reported from almost every section us the state and during December tfferc were two deaths, horrible deaths, from this dread ailment. The situation in In»<liaiiu. the board declares is serious and demands the cooperation of the .. >

citizenship of the state In an effort to I ' control. Muzzle tho dog or keep him at. home. | The scarcity of the country doctor as a* source of keen popular interest Is matching the scarcity of teachers In the rural districts which has been I met by consolidations and the etu- I ployment of specially trained “teach- I ers' helpers." The country doctor is I stronger in tradition than the country I teacher and his disappearance even I by humor is disturbing. In the gen- I erat lon represented by the grandpar- I ants of today the country doctor was I one of the greatest American insti-J tutions. He carried his supply of I crude drugs in his saddle bags -and I an exhaustless sunshine in his facell and his cheery words, Whatever he II may have lacked of scientific attain-11 inent tu handicap him as compared I to his town brother, he compensated I 'for in that rare atmosphere of fra- I ternal cheerfulness which no country I doctor was without. Patients improv- | ed when they heard his horse’s hoofs | on the road. All the people for miles I around were as members of one big I family so far as the doctor was con- I cerned. As the towns grew the young I doctors chose to display their skill I there, some because the life was less I laborious, some because they believed I rewards better. The country doctor I of today is at the disappearing point, I largely because of his consideration I for wife and children. He says I frankly cash returns are satisfactory I often, but that he wants better con- I ditions for wife and family than he I finds in the country.—-Goshen Daily I Democrat.
