Opinion is again divided as to the the destruction of the fruit crop and our guess is that it didn't do any good. .If business doesn't pick up in some sections of the country, they will at least have to dig up some other slogan for next years campaign tnau “leave well enough alone." The man who has discovered a drug which will prolong life twenty-five years won't liftve to worry about how he will exist those extra years. He will have every luxury and comfort that money can provide—if he can deliver the goods. Warmer weather is assured by the weather bureau by tomorrow or next’ day. If they will deliver it. without the mositure which has been accompanying each balmy breeze this spring, it will be .appreciated by a water soaked area of several hundred thousand acres. i—1 —- A farmer at Morgantown, Indiana, claims to have made $1,500 the past year from eight brood sows. He has eighty pigs and figures that even if the market should decline a third he could net that amount. If he can do that, perhaps others can.. There are about a million more automobiles on the road than a year ago. so it is necessary that you be just that much more careful in your driving this year and remember the other fellow may not be. You might have to think a little for him. I’lay it safe. There are several scores of men. democrats and republicans in Indiana who have a desire to be governor and who are thinking seriously of becoming candidates. The fellows who will probably win out are those who can dig up a million or so and run a few full page advertisements in the newspapers of the state. Even Muncie seems to be improv-, ing in morals. According to the much “cussed" and discussed PostDemocrat. the police have issued orders that the girls in the eighty houses of the red light district are forbidden to peck on the windows at passing men or to attract attention by the use of any kind of musical instruments. All but a few of our subscribers have renewed for 1927 and to give all of our readers a chance to continue with our family of 3.500, we have extended the time to May 6th. On that date we will recheck our list. If you want the news of the county and slate and nation the coming year, be sure (p let us know before that date. Os course wo want you to continue. _ I Clyde Walb. republican state chairman, deplores the fact that while most of the public utilities are located north of the'center id Indiana, all the members of the state public service commission reside south of the Hoosier equator. Thats true and also he might add that for some reason the governor selects most of his appointees for other jobs from the southern part of the state. What we don't quite

J understand is why the state chair- ’ man don't talkthat way to the governor of Indiana, Perhaps he does but isn't recognized, which would not be the first time that the state chairI man has been left out of the picture . ’ after the capaign Js over. Will you help the destitute refugees of the Hood in tile southwest territory? The local chapter of the ; American Red Cross will start a drive ' Monday morning which should bring from S6OO to SI,OOO in this county to help the 75,000 to 100,000 homeless people who have been driven from their homes and many of whom are ill and in dire distress. Many times the good people of this commtmity have been culled upon to aid but never has there been a call when the need is greater than at this lime. The local chapter has sent SIOO from their treasury and we are sure the people here will respond quickly and liberally for this great cause. Don't wait, don’t falter, do your part that the suffering may be allayed as much as possible. Its the finest Christian act you can do. The Daily Democrat staff were guests last evening of the Adams County Medical Society at their dinner at the Hotel Murray. It was a very happy event and the testimonials offered by the various members disclosed u desire to be helpful in various ways to the people of the com ‘ munity. We were almost embarrassed by the many expressions of appreciation for those who have tried to assist them. The dinner was delicious, the principal address by Senator T. A. Gottschalk was instructive as well as interesting and the evening passed so pleasantly that we are hoping for a return date some time. The society, which is composed of the practising physicians of Adams county, is one of high standards, whose members are gentlemen and scholars and whose aims are to benefit humanity. They believe in their profession and practise with earnest skill, striving always to improve their methods that the people of their community may have the benefit of their knowledge and their experience. We appreciate the privilege of becoming better acquainted with these men of one of the greatest professions. ■ -o — , ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ Sunday’s Five Best Radio Features (Copyright, 1927, by Ui.'ted Press) Cen.-ral standard time throughout.

658.0(H) births on farms, compared with 371,000 deaths, held the exodus figure below the general migratory total, Officials of the department said. The number of persons living on farms on January 1. 1927 was estimated by the government at 27,982,000, against 28.541,000 on January 1 1926. While farmers are equipping their homes with modern devices and have automolules (or transportation in place of the proverbial "old gray n are" city life bright Jights still emice the younger generation, officials said. Long hours on garms, too, are a drawback, it was stated. The average soil tiller in America works to to 14 hours daily while city jobs have .shorter hours.
