Easy enough, Uncle Sam could have the largest navy ju the world bur the trouble is you can’t get enough people scared at the same time. Along with the autumn weather get ready for aboutthe biggest chunk of politics you have had in a long while. The campaign next year will be one of the most interesting in years. Hot weather for September, but just what every one admits is necessary if we are to get any kind of a corn crop and the good Lord knows we need that and want it, so don’t complain. Perhaps just at this season of thi year it would be interesting for you to know that the United States has 263,280 schools and that last yeai they enrolled 27,398,170 pupils. About one-fourth our population is evidently • preparing to keep things moving. , This is budget time and tax authorities are busy with the toughest prob lem they have to meet annually. Meeting the demands of the public and holding taxes down is about as possible as the trip to the moon pro posed for Colonel Lindbergh. It just ‘‘can’t be did." Roger Kahn, whose father is several different kinds of a financier has decided to become an aviator. Fail enough, but Rog should realize before he sets sail for some foreign port that his father’s millions will not prevent his plane from skidding when he hits an air pocket. Jackson admits he tried to secure the appointment of* James E. Me Donald as prosecuting attorney ti please D. C. Stephenson but doesn’t remember offering Governor McCray 110,000. They certainly have that gent making excuses these days and the saddest part of it is that they have just begun, according to persistent rumors. Perhaps for the first time in the history of this country, Chicago is spending two million dollars to build a bridge where there is as yet nt river. When the bridge is finished it is proposed to dig a channel and transfer the Chicago river over there in place of the railroad tracks. And they will do it too, in fact work hat already begun on the big project. After they got everything cleared up and cleaned up the estate of J. Ogden Armour netted a million dol lars. Thats some shrinkage from the $200,000,000 he had five or six years ago but if wisely taken care of will probably keep Mrs. Armour and the children from actual want. At least most of us feel we could manage tc get along. A Washington correspondent says that so far the only two men in America with nerve enough to declare they art\ candidates for the presidency are Lowden, republican and Ritchie, democrat. Don't worry, there are a lot more with hats in the ring but they are too foxy to show their hands until they get things just where they want them. We hear a few douiits expressed that the resurfacing of Winchester street will wear satisfactorily. Well, all we know about it is that similai streets in existence many years are

| still In good condition and that the ’ contractors who did the work here have filed a surety bond to maintain the street for a period of five years,' so there doesn’t seem to be much to worry about. t It won't take but a few minutes to write a letter to the state highway commission asking them to take over the east and west road through this > city. There is no politics In this. We 1 are just anxious to secure another ■ state road because it means so much • in the years to come. The commlss- ' ion is friendly to us but keep putting off the promises and we ought to hurry them along a little. Thats up to the citizens who believe in Adams county and want it to progress. The Citizens Telephone Company re-elected the old board and they tn turn re-elected the old officers for another year, a very sensible thing to do for under the present management the company is progressing and prospering. Plans are being made now for one of the best improvements they have made, the placing of underground cables in the downtown territory. When the rates here are compared to those in other cities of this section we have reason to congratulate our people upon the management here and the service, constantly being improved, will likewise stand comparison with any in the country We are glad the telephone company is home owned and by a body ol stockholders so progressive. 0 — — *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * ¥ If From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ Sept. 7 City council refuses to ap prove action of mayor in removing the marshall.

1 “ “ ZL— ————————— ——in i , ■ Finds Motor in Fine Condition After Using ISO VIS Six Months —Six Thousand Miles Iso Vis has proved a triumphant success in the Middle West. Why? It maintains its viscosity! The old type oil thinned out before the car had gone 200 miles. With Iso Wis in the crankcase there is no danger of dilution. The engine is lubricated efficiently every mile. Iso Vis means more than smooth motoring and freedom from dilution worries. It means long life to the engine. The letter below gives one man’s experience . in using Iso=Vis: I ! i , , J. A. Christianson ■■ Everything For the Farm New Richland, Minn. „ April 22,1927 a LX Standard Oil Co., Z Mankato, Minn. B Gentlemen: / , 1 have been investigating my new Pontiac car f s after using Iso-Vr Heavy in it for the past six LI wlSb I | months and upon taking the motor down I find i 1 \/ J that it is in very fine condition. The car was free \ > / from carbon and the cylinder walls were in very \ X VA/TTYLab? 1 ✓Z good condition. There was a film of oil all \ * ''..x , over walls of the cylinders which shows that V lt: was lubricated very efficiently. I must say that, after driving my car six thousand miles, I can highly recommend this Iso-Vis Heavy to any motorist for hard driving. Yours truly, J. A. Christianson Mr. Christianson’s experience will be your experience if ' you use Iso-Vis. Flush your crankcase clean, fill up with the correct grade of Iso-Vis, then check your oil every hundred miles and keep the crankcuse at least threefourths full. Your dilution troubles will be at an end—your engine will run quietly on cushions of oil—protected, contented, well cared for. Try it once yourself-buying the grade recommended for your car. 30c per quart. Zso- Vis “F” for Fords Standard Oil Company Decatur, Indiana 4678 (Indiana) 1 V
