School will open next week, it’s time to get ready. Help the boys and girls to get the right start in their school year for much depends on the interest they take in this work, the rtost important of their lives because this is their foundation for the years to come. You have no right to complain about taxes which were created by your petition. The only time to ‘’kick’’ on a tax rate is when you feel you are not getting your moneys worth. It is not general taxes which causes the boost, but the road and school expenditures which cannot be curtailed if we wish to progress. Whether it's “shoes or ships or sealing wax’’ clothing or drugs or' groceries or horse races you wish to! sell to the public in this tjnrty-five miles to 300 per hour age, there is just one way to do it successfully and that’s —to ADVERTISE.. Tell the public what you are doing in any way you may choose —of course newspaper advertising is the cheapest and the best—but advertise one way or another. Welsome school teachers of Adams county. We believe and we hope that the week will be profitable in every way and aside from the knowledge and helpful instructions you receive that you will enjoy many pleasant moments. The week is a reunion as well as an institute and the better time you have the better will you re- - ceive the lessons which should aid you during the year to impart needed instructions to the children who will be in your care. Mr. Striker has arranged a splendid program and the week should be one of great benefit. The county council of Huntington county has approved a budget that will increase the tax rate in that county eighteen cents over last year. The reason given is the slash in land appraisements made last spring. It’s bound to come. It takes just so much money to run the government, national, state, city or county, and when the valuation goes down the rate goes up. Sort of changing one's money from , one pocket to the other. But the farmer, who received the Big cut in valuations, is the beneficiary and that was the intent of the re-appraisement —Bluffton Banner. Mayor Duval wanted to tell the - folks around Indianapolis a lot of things he claimed to have up his sleeve, wanted to control politics in that section and decided that the way ’ to do it was to start a newspaper. He. did. It operated six weeks at a loss of $15,000 a week and cost a total es- ’ timated at $3000,000. Then it quit. Similar experiences, usually on a smaller plane have met the same end. In these days it costs a lot of real money to conduct a newspaper and getting over the hill to a point where receipts balance the expenditures is anything but boys play. Another name is added to the list of pioneering heroes who are trying to perfect lighter than air flying. Otto Smit.*, splendid Adams county

| man who had devoted'several years i to the flying game, was killed ycster-, day afternoon when his machine went' into a tail spin and he crashed to* earth betore hundreds of persons attending the air circus at Montpelier. Smith wus an experienced flyer and for several years had engaged in commercial plane work as well as doing stunt flying. The game does not seem to be a safe one and until some means has been perfected for preventing the tail spin and the other mishaps so common the past few weeks, the greatest care should be exercised. Otto Smith was a young man of fine qualities and his death just at the time when he seemed to be entering upon a brilliant career in his field of labor is sincerely regretted. A grandmother, standing blithely on the threshold of 60 years, has taken first prize for having the best pair of ankles among the summer visitors to Penobscot Bay, Me. A sparkling new vista of grandmotherly existance thus invites. Who remembers way back when grandmother, with a pair of spectacles and a ball of yarn was wont to sit upon her dignity in a corner

s of the domestic hearth? Who rememj bers when we used to look upon r grandma as a sort of sacred thing to J her sac there were things ,(about the creaky old girl that were J just a bit funny, too? All these new J wrinkles —grandma trading her ball of yarn for a dance program, and the like —disclose very hopeful signs, very. , There is no longer any need for what- , ever hypocritical reverence we once , accorded her gray hairs. There is no I longer any need of pitying her be- . cause she must sit on the sidelines , and now has no part in the race. No need of any further pampering of grandma, if you please, she's getting around quite nicely by herself, thank you! Grandmother used to work hard. J There was a day when grandma was .'glad to retire to the chimney corner; I she was just “too blamed played out” to carry the burdens further. Modern household devices have helped in this evolution of the venerable lady. She , isn’t jtired at all any more. She ( craves qction. Let’s go, grandma! 'flip on your glad rags and let’s have a party.

O r A TLANTA, Ga. (I-I-N Special).—Manny, who for sixteen e summers has romped the streets and yards of Atlanta, is .. under sentence. All of Manny's bone-worn teeth are condemned to extractton. And thus Manny ends his days in disgrace 11 Manny was out on the street the other day. Just scouting e around,, you know. Hunting for cats, but rather hoping he wouldn t find any, because sixteen years is a ripe old age for dogs an age in which spark of battle is dull. o He espied a neighbor’s youngster, and for some reason, probably e just in play, nipped him. ’ D ilan , ny , v L as taken ,nto custody and duly arraigned in the City Recorder s Court. Tearfully his mistress pleaded for Manny. In all of her eighty-seven 8 « arS ' Mr ~ F rances Edwards said, she never had a better friend than , Manny. Fortuna and death had taken many from her in her life, but Manny had been loyal for sixteen years; he would be loyal until he, too, f was called by death. ’ * Furthermore, Mrs. Edwards told the court, Manny’s teeth are worn dull. He would not give a vicious bite, and he cannot. t The Recorder listened sympathetically. The law of the State of Georgia provided that Manny must die, but the Recorder resolved to temper the law with mercy. He granted Manny’s life, but decreed that 51 bis teeth must be extracted. <• And thus the rest of Manny’s days will be biteless and boneless.

PLAN TO CLEAN UP STREATOR Civic Organization Ask Clean-Up For Illinois City After Death Streator, 111. Aug. 29. — (U. P.) Stirred by the belief that gambling ami bootleg liquor may have been indirectly responsible for the killing of Mrs. Eliza Hill, Streator civic and religious leaders were to meet today to plan a “cleanup campaign.” Meanwhile, no tangible evidence of the whereabouts of Mrs. Hill s 21-year-old son, Harry, had been obtained by police and search which had l>een localized in the middfewest moat of last week had been extended to include the entire country. Rumors continued to be current, however, that young Hill, charged with shooting his mother and burying her body in the basement of their home, had been in communication with his father. Dr. H. C. Hill. Some believed that surrender of the youth was imminent. Discovery that jewelry was stolen from Mrs. Hill at the time of the slaying, establishing possible motive for a person other than Harry to have committed the crime was seen as bearing on the rumor. No motive has been assigned to the slaying other than the mother's objection to young Hill’s gambling and spendthrift habits or her possible interference in her son’s love affairs. Sudden return to Streator of a prominent criminal lawyer and mysterious conferences between authorities and Dr. Hill and his secretary were Inked with the forecast that Harry would give himself up soon. Everyone involved refused to discuss the situation, however, and none would admit Hill’s whereabouts was known. Two Streator ministers in sermons yesterday blamed the “lethargy of the better element of Streator” for the existing situation. ■ ■ o Delay Action On Parole For Warren T.

My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart, and the pains were awful. My appetite was poor and I had to watch what I ate all the time. I aiso had rheumatism in my right leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so I could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good. Then I heard of Viuna and I bought a bottle, and right from the first I felt better.* Now I feel fine. My stomach trouble is all gone. No i gas, none of that bloating, and I i can eat anything and plenty of it. My rheumatism is gone, doesn’t pain or swell at all, and my leg is as good as it ever was.

prr=l Perfect Comfort — Jbr the woman driver An Adjustable Steering Column to Suit Your Convenience Buick for 1928 is extremely thoughtful of feminine comfort. One indication of this consideration is Buick's new steering column, which may be adjusted to the most comfortable position for women, as well as men. And in addition, Buick for 1928 has a new steering wheel —slender to fit feminine fingers —yet deep and solid to provide the firm grip men demand. Buick for 1928 pleases women because it is easier to drive — -because it is more comfortable to ride in—and because it is the acknowledged style-leader among motor cars. That’s why you see so many Buicks at fashionable gatherings and on the smartest boulevards. BUICK MOTOR COMPANY FLINT, MICHIGAN Dmuta of Gntral MU»n Ctrpmuitf BUI CIO 1928 W. D.

It was amo-g the first to develop a satisfactory fuel and lubricant for avia: ion use and it supplies the major par’ of the demand today It is among the first industrial concerns to own z .Tixtinar.y airplane. liiis Company identified itself promptly with the pkxi'-ers of the air because it he’d a vision of the 'flying age" now begun and believed that bv aiding in the development of aviation it might broaden its service and increase its usefulness to the people of the Middle West. The American public has a part to play in the development of aviation. Jt must become "airminded.” No more is thought of flying in the Eastern Hemisphere than is thought here of travel by train or motor. The whole world is traveling by air. The Germans, the British, the French ana the Italians have all opened regular air service ranging from the cities of Europe as far away as Africa and Asia. Amenta, haying risen the airplane to the world and perfected it to its present degree of reliability should lie at the front in the development of popular air travel. America must keep step withitainventors and its aviators. , e a . r ” living in stirring times. Tiie whole world has thrilled to the exploits of winged pioneers this tF ar '," records have been broken —new trails blazed by daring heroes of the air. American manhood and American machines have written a proud chapter in aviation history. These recent glorious deeds fire the imagination ana their real meaning is worthy of thought. Aviation is more than a thrilling sport. It is a new and relatively safe means of transportation. Public confidence is needed to stimulate the aerelopment of commercial aviation. Certain facts in our aviation history should help us to become air-minded.” Last year there were only two fatal accidents in i, a l r - I ? o a xJf rvice - hat means one casualty to each 1,288,000 miles flown!
