We wonder if that Marion county representative who has been sentenced to three years at Atlanta feels it a promotion or a demotion?

We can't sit still. _________ 1 The Sunday school of the .Metho- i 1 dist church made a great record Suu- I day when they raised a hundred dol- * lars for the Red Cross flood relief 1 fund in ten minutes. Other churches t and Sunday schools in the city aud 1 over the county showed a similar 1 liberality in comparison with their • membership. We still claim this the ' best county of the middle west. — I ‘‘Mother'' was the subject of dis- < mission in almost every church in this t city and county and in the laud yes- 1 terday , the occasion being the an-H nual observation of Mothers Day. I They were deservedly lauded and 1 praised and the thought most import- i ant was that we should not forget t mother at any time during the year, i Every day should be mother’s day. i Help lighten her load. 1 One ma nwas killed at Scott’s crossing east of Delphos Friday and his < brother fatally injured. Saturday eve- .<j t.ing a man who lived within a mile £ of the crossing drove over to see j where the accident happened and was, > struck by a train and killed at the < same place. This makes a total of t some six or seven deaths at that place i during the past few weeks, Certainly [ sufficient to cause the installation of t some means to prevent accident. • t —1 The Red Cross fund is going over. f The first quota for this county was ( $1,050 and it was secured in a week. . Just as it was being concluded came , j the request from President Coolidge ’ j that the amount be doubled for the| , horrors were and are still increasing ( in the flooded districts. The workers | , kept right on and in another week , had almost concluded the double' ( quota. Its wonderful and we are ( hoping that whatever is lacking today . will be quickly made up. Its a real 1 , cause and we are grateful to our people for their splendid cooperation. While most people were hoping that , Riley aud Goldstein, the bandits who held up local officials here several months ago would be sentenced for life under a charge of being habitual j criminals, its a relief to have them' sent up for an additional two to four-; teen a plea of guilty to. assault with intent to murder, which | added to the terms of seven and j eleven years they must serve on their i violated paroles, will probably keep them safe for a decade, by which, time they will be out of practise and will have to learn new methods. Bandits by 1987 will probably be using airplanes or some other mode of escape. — — William Allen White has struck a popular cord by his defense of kissing in opposition to the claim of >

. Air Sense! * Iff V :'.j « j* - ■ ■ a Miss Bessie Davis, Brooklyn girl, has an “air sense” that surprises experienced aviators. She was able to operate an airplane after only twenty minutes’ instruction. George A. Wiles, Jr., taught her over Bolling Field, Washington. International Newsreel. scientists that each kiss shortens ones life three minutes. The Kansas editor first said scientists didn't know what they were talking about when they promulgated the three-miuute loss of lite idea. He said his kisses in thirtyfour years of married life, according to scientists’ computations, would have caused him to die five years be- • fore the revolutionary war. The Missouri professor replied that White would have had to kiss at the rate of five every four minutes for sixteen hours a day during sixty years to qualify for such a situation. The editor replied that Dr. Elmore had forgotten to look at the tables iu the back oT the new-fangled arithmetic books, which now show that time passes 2.169.7 times as fast when one is kissing. A weakening of the professor's stand was indicated today in messages from Liberty, quoting him as denying he had supported wholeheartedly the scientists’ theory. Many people here wonder at the continuation of the flood which has driven nearly a half million people irom their homes in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana aud expect that when a day or two let up iu the rains occurs, the water should recede, but this flood is not the result of a few days rain. It has been accumulating for months. In August of last year there was abnormally heavy percipitation and the water ways began to fill. These rains kept up rather steadily until October and reports of flood damage began to come in. Then November and December showed an increase in rain fall and in January it became serious. Since then the spring rains have been almost incessant and the losses the greatest ever known from floods in this country. Os course .something will have to be done to avoid repetition in the future and the government engineers are now at work on plans. One suggestion is the building of artifical lakes and reservoirs to lighten the loads of the rivers and it is probable that a combination of methods will eventually be employed. i 0 Comedy Added To Red Cross Benefit Movie “Love My Dog’’ and “Our Gang" comedy, has been added to the program for the Red Cross benefit motion | picture show at the Adams theater : Thursday evening and Friday after- ■ noon and evening. Every fan knows that that means a good laugh and the big show on the program is one of the best films showing today. The event is under auspices of the civic section of the Woman's club and the proceeds will go to the fund for the flood sufferers. It ie the belief that this benefit will put over the drive ' and everybody is urged to buy a : ticket. 0 Harold Kirsch visited at Van Wert , Sunday afternoon.

I had blood pressure, a bad stomach, constipation, and I was so nervous I would just shake. I could not sleep at night. My nerves just ' jumped. My stomach would bloat 1 and cramp and the gas would press I back my heart till I thought maybe I had organic heart trouble. My ’ bowels would hardly move even with a laxative, and never without one. I had dizzy spells and would stagger and almost fall. ■ I did not have any appetite, and what I did eat wouldn t stay down. I tried different medicines, but only got a little relief. ’ Then hearing from friends about Viuna, I started taking it. Right from the first it helped me, and now I feel fine, as good as. I ever did in my life. I eat anything and everything, hive a good appetite, ” my bowels are in good shape, my nervousness is practically gone.
