You will find them at the three banks, the xtnr'-riy House, the postoffice and the Daily Democrat. Get the fly swatter ready. The dis- , ease carriers will be out on the first , warm day and the way to stop them ; is to chad off the first ones which . appear. Mounds built by the Indians of the . eighteenth century are the only high ] points in certain sections of the flood ( district, to which marooned farmers and families can flee.

The Red Cross quota for Adams , county for relief for the flood victims of Mississippi and Arkansas is $1,025 and Adams county has a record of having met every call for aid made for a worthy cause. The response here already has been quite good and we are sure that there will be no let up until the quota has been secured. Os course the seasofi is late, the outlook for oats not the best and there is enough to discourage you until you read about the unfortunate people of the southwest flood district where thousands are marooned, their homes gone, not a chance for any fanning this year. After all we are rather fortunate in this section, area t we? This is dental week and attention is called to the importance of having good teeth which in many cases means good health. Teeth may not . cause all the ills in the world but it has long been established that they are the cause for a lot of bad health. The local dentists will examine the teeth of the school children tomorrow and their “report should be given the serious consideration it is worthy of. If you wish to enjoy an hour or so and receive some real information on conditions in Washington regarding the farmer and possible relief, go to Monroe tonight and hear William 11. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau. Bill was in close touch with

j every movement regarding the Me--1 Nary-Haugcn bill which passed the last congress but was vetoed and he tells it in his own way. Arthur Symtus, an efficiency engineer at Linton. Indiana, has worked out a plan to organize a $100,000,000 financing company which will build 4,hup miles of pavemeift in Indiana told collect a rental from the Indiana road commisison which will pay for it in twenty-five years. He is presenting it to the press and has, he declares, received some consideration from state official.s Its a big project, one that staggers the average fellow when he first hears about it, yet may have merit and is at least worth thinking about seriously. Why so many ambitious young men study for law is forcefully explained by statistics gathered by the Harvard l«iw School. Os 7,500 alumni of that institution, near ti.ooo have life activities partly or entirely outside the practice of law. Training in that subject has fitted them for work covering practically the entire fields of public, professional and business life. For example, 2,211 hold public offices, such as federal, state and local judges, governors, mayors, aldermen, and sixty-five of them are in the diplomatic and consular service. Again. 250 of them are officers in 506 charitable institutions, and 2.340 or them are members of commercial directorates. One is a university president and 276 are educators in various fields. Journalism, authorship, editorship and publishing account for fortyfour- of them, while the clergy took seventeen of th An, and twenty-four are investment brokers. Nine studied medicine after law and are now physicians What is true of graduates of Harvard Law School is true in proportion of other law schools. A college course which offers such a wide future field to its graduates is sure . to attract ambitious youth. — Terra Haute Tribune.
