Suppose you are getting used to ; writing it 1928 by this time. E. \V. Marland, a millionaire oil < operator of Ponca City, Oklahoma,( will marry his adopted daughter, j Lydia Roberts Marland. Now does that make Lydia her own mamma? If a miracle should occur and Sen--, ator Jim Watson be elected president, , would he turn the lantern of investi- , gallon on Indiana and clean it up? ; Its a lead pipe cinch he wouldn’t do ( it before. < The experts writing from New 1 ork I ( City and Washington declare the , farmers did fairly well in 1927. Now , isn’t that tine? Some of the fanners , have had some doubts about it. Now , they know what a fair year is. , ’ • , Well, this is interesting—Albert D. Lasker and wife have given a million 1 1 dollars to medical research fund to increase the life expectancy of those i over fifty years of age. Os course we who have reached the afternoons of , life are strong for that and hope there i is no delay in its success. i Secretary Mellons favors Senator I'avid A. Reed, of Pennsylvatiia for the republican candidate, for president. He would Reed is his lawyer i and a business associate in the alum- ; 1 inuni business. While we recognize the power that will fall in behind him - we doubt if it can be put over this i \ year. Mr. Walb has resigned, effective ' next Tuesday. Whether his successor; ■ will be selected at this time or the old ship left, to drift until after the primaries will be decided on Thurs- > day. Its a tough old game and It one in which troubles multiply unless conducted as squarely as any other line of endeavor. \ Every citizen of Adams county i' should be a booster for Old Home Week to be held here next autumn. , It is to be a great holiday and the 1 more you enter into the spirit of it. 1 the more you will enjoy it. Plans- of ’ the organization will be announced ’ soon and then we hope you get back of it one hundred per cent. If you ( do it will be an event to be talked t about in th" years to come. 1 J. Carl McGee, figting Scripps-Howard t editor, now with the Oklahoma News, declares that Governor Johnston used J a hundred thousand dollars to influence the state senate which refused I to impeach him and the sad part of it it; that heretofore McGee has known , what he was talking about. He ta the i man, you may remember, who dug up the facts which brought about the . ' Teapot Dome investigation, while he ' i was editing a paper in New Mexico. i It seems rather useless now that!, the devilment has been done, to go ' i to the expenses of a 'aw suit and a ; lot. of fussing around to oust, the klan ( . from Indiana. They have ousted themselves to a largo degree and grandstanding at this time won’t, give Mr. Gilliom or any one else the credit , for It. Such organizations are at best short lived and especially so when i the public learns of the graft connected with them. Prom now on there will be politics a plenty. The democratic national ; i ommittee is in session In Washing I ton. will decide upon the convention

| city and close with a big banquet ' Thursday evening. Indiana republis cans will moot at Indianapolis Thursday to discuss Chairman Walb’s resignation and other questions of importance and to fix the date tor ; the state convention. Candidates are announcing locally and in the state and it will be "hot” before long. L. M. Busche, county ageut here for seven years, has resigned to accept a better position in Madison county. Mr. Busche has made good here. He is a hard worker and with great ability along his line. Hundreds i of farmers will regret his decision to, leave for he has been of unquestion- ' . able aid to them in many ways. His organization of junior chthe among the boys and girls of Adams cougty has created much interest in calf raising, in corn and beet growing and in other lines. Congratulations, Mart, on your promotion and best wishes for every success in your new field. Less than a year ago a fish fry or a love feast or a meeting of some kind was held at Lake James, during which speeches were made by Attorney General Gilliom and others i exalting the administration in Indiana and declaring that in the years to i come it would be known as the best ever. Since then twenty-three members of the administration and hangerons have been indicted on various charges of giaft and corruption. The list includes the governor, the stato chairman, the mayor of Indianapolis, bank commissioner and assistant, a former state treasurer, Marion county bosses and so on and so* on. It is a serious condition not only politically but in every other way. Indiana Is now the laughing stock of America and has brushed old Arkansas off the stage when it to being the butt of jokes. If we were ever in earnest in politics it should be this year. o «¥¥¥¥¥>¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥« Monday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1928 by VP WOR, hookup, 8:00 p. m.—Columbia programs.

“Your Health” This Column I* conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the public’s health.

Health Resolutions “Get disease before disease gel's you. "Go to your doctor before he has to come to you. “Have your family physician give you a thorough "once over’’ early in the New Year so you may be better assured of getting a flying start toward good health in 1928." These are three New Year resolutions suggested in the first 1928 weekly buletin issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association, t’or several years the Bureau of Publicity of the Indiana State Medical Association speaking ing for 2700 of the leading physicians of the state, has issued these health bulletins through- the press of Indiana. * The program of education for 1928 promises to be more interesting and useful than ever before for the citizens of the state. From week to week the Bureau will keep the public of Indiana informed on the progress made throughout the world by scientific medicine in combating and overcoming disease. The bulletins will discuss the latest developments of medical science in a language that the layman can understand and from time to time will tell the >■ tader how to distinguish the charlatan and the fraud from the competent physician. Above all, these bulletins will attempt to show how you may best guard your health and that of your family. In this first bulletin the Bureau gives five excellent resolutions for the New Year. 1.1 will not cat too much nor will I exercise too little during the coming years; I will eat a variety of foods in order that my body may be adequately nourished; I will not forget the importance of eating fresh fruits and vgetables. 2. I will work iiurd during working hours and I will play hard when I pi ty. I will seek lo avoid late hours and I will not neglect to take my annual vacation. 3. I will learn all that I can about the care and preservation of my health and will strive to apply the knowledge I gain faithfully and conscientiously. 4. 1 will go to my doctor for an annual or semi-annual health examination in order that he may help me to keep well. 5. I will consider the health ami w< Ifare of others and will give my moral suppott to those physicians who ate charged with the duty id' protecting the public health.

About 20 students attended the

banquet. Malcolm Biery, of Catrcil. Ihio, a graduate of the January class. 1927 is visiting the School. His brother Stuart Biery, is a student in the class this year. (’. B.

Harty Thomas, of Decatur at one time a resident of Princeton, Illinois, entertained Roy "ISiwith and Eugene Ellberg at Sunday dinner. Not knowing that Mr. Thomas Mved in Decatur, it was indeed a great surprise to the boys to find that he at cne time lived in their home town. Needless to say that, all enjoyed a very fine visit. It sounds funny, but Pat Malloy, of South Dekota who is not in the habit of seeing fences, really of any kind wants to know why a rail fence isn't straight, and advances a theory that would go farther if It was. o ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ * CONGRESS TODAY * ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ House Continues consideration of state, justice, labor and commerce department appropriation bili.

Malden, Ma.s,-(VP>-The church’s greatest need at present is for a larger evattgelisHc emphasis-lhe revival spirit, in the opinion of the Rev. Stuart Best. 103, the worlds oldest Methodist minister. Born only 15 years after UnvoteDr. Best, after a career which could scarcely be crammed into two ordinary lifetimes, still enjoys good health and hopes to celebrate many more birthdays. , , , .1, His kindly face, unmarked by tin burdens of a century, glowed with a still youthful enthusiasm as he to d the United Press, in an interview, his views on church progress of recent years and on the outlook for the future. Asked if the youth of toda ywere as interested in religion as those of half a century ago, Dr. Best said: "The young people in older days were more enthusiastic about theii religion. Now they are wider and deeper in their thinking—more systematic. "It is harder to“turn one away from religion now, when one has settled the matter, because it has been thought through more thoroughly." "How do the ministers of today compare with those of earlier years?" he was asked. "Nowadays ministers are deeper thinkers," he replied. "They are more original. Ministers of the past were more fervent." A combination of the evangelical fervor ami the intellectual advantages of the day was desirable, he believed. Dr. Best said the greatest advance made by the church recently was in the matter of Intellectual progress." “The people will not revert to the
