You can't lose any money buying an Adams county farm now. Its one of the safest Investments you can make. Scud a check for five dollars to Paul Graham, commander of the Legion for the public athletic field. Every penny will be expended on the grounds for the benefit of the young--1 sters and the public and every penny ( will be duly accounted for in a final t report. , Rain and more rain and then some more predicted. Hopeful we may be but this weather business has become 1 really serious. A large section of the country lias been ruined ny noods and 1 the west and middle west is in grave danger of crop losses. And all we ' can do is to sit with our hands '■ . 1 crossed. A public athletic field will prove ; not only a popular play ground but 1 will insure better health for the boys ( and girls and one of the finest invest- 1 meats ~ie community ever nr de. The : Legion has started off the subscrip- ' tiou list with SIOO. Won't you help 1 raise S4OO or S3OO to provide thi3 1 field? Send a check to this office or to Paul Graham, Legion commander and help out a good cause. President Gerald Swope of the Gen- 1 era! Electric commented in a most favorable way of the apperauee of i Decatur, speaking especially of our ( wonderful maples. Vice-president Em- , mons, of the same company, when < here two weeks ago made almost the ■ same comments, proving that it pays to give attention to those things which attract attention and nothing does it more so than beautiful shade trees, well kept lawns, neat homes and clean paved strtets. Adams county has responded splendidly to the Red Cross call for aid for those in the flood stricken sections of the country and few counties any where have made so good a record. The quota has been forwarded and several hundreds will be sent later as needed. More money of course will be required for the conditions continue to grow worse instead of better ami the rehabilitation of the flood territory will be a job, requiring mouths of labor and much money. The annual Daily Bible School will open at the Central school building next Monday with an able staff of instructors. Enrollment has started and indications are that this years four weeks term will be as successful as have those of the past two years. The school is helpful to those who desire to inform themselves on religious history and on those facts of particular benefit to teachers in Sunday school and is sponsored by the churches of this community. It is believed the attendance this year will break all previous records. Mayor Duval!, of Indianapolis, is under arrest charged with corruption and perjury, seven affidavits having been filed by Prosecutor Remy aud his assistants. We are ashamed of the record which is being established in the capitol city of Indiana aud in the state house but the people seem to forget the facts on election day. Mr. Duvall defeated Walter Meyers, one of the ablest young men of Indianapolis in his race lor mayor, thus

| continuing an uproar which bus existI ed there for quite some time. The time to avoid these difficulties is on primary and election Hay and surely the Hooslers will start doing that soon. Under the child hygiene division of the Indiana state board of health, with Dr. Ada E. Schweitzer in charge aud assisted by local women, the opportunity will be given every parent in the county to nave their children examined free of charge. The slogan for Indiana this year is “every child healthy on his first day In school" so if you have any children seven years old or younger you should have them examined so that any defect may be corrected. The examinations begin next Monday in Root township and will rpach every part of the county. Children underweight can be brought to normalcy in a few months. Its u good plan and one which should have the cooperation of every parent. Ed Howe, famous Kansas editor and was elaborately entertained by the elite of the newspaper profession in New York recently which. In itself, was no small compliment to a man who never claimed to he other than a country editor. Mr. Howe stated that his chief ambition, and the thing he worked for consistently, was to make his home town of Atchison a greater and more populous city than Kansas City and after nearly a half century of argument and boosting Atchison had 15,000 people and Kansas City had passed the 100,000 mark. Just why! Mr. Howe's ardent and consistent campaign failed to produce the de-l sired result is not explained. Per-j haps not all Atehisonians shared his i vision and nptmism while the citizenship of the hated rival, Kansas City, may have been made up of men of different caliber. At any rate, no blame attaches to Ed Howe, who grew so much bigger than his town that he became a national figure, and the same may be said of another Kansas editor, William Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette. But Ed Howe's experience is typical of the country editor: he always tries to make his town bigger aud better. It is bis chief ambition.—Wabash Plain Dealer. + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. * ♦♦++♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ May 18—Prof. Osier, of Oxford, deflates there are only four drugs which have any theroputic value and that ail others do more harm than good.

Perfectly Well Now. “I suffered with stomach trouble and a torpid liver for ten years. My appetite was poor and I was troubled with frequent attacks of biliousness. My complexion was yellow, I was troubled with constipation ar.d all run down. I just had no pep at all. I tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Several friends recommended Viuna to me, so I tried it. After a couple of days I saw that at last I had found the. medicine that I had been looking for. My appetite came back and the things I ate began to taste good to me. The bilious attacks stopped and my complexion began to clear up, so I kept right on, and now I feel fine. I can eat anything, my constipation is gone, and for a man 63 years old, I am full of pep.”— William Beal, 117 N. High St., Hartford City, Ind.
