Earthquakes are reported front the state of Maine and you know "as Maine goes, so goes the nation," which ought to be enough to make you shiver and shake if you believe in signs According to a government survey just completed, running water, telephones and autos are the three prime necessities' on a farm. How about a contrivance that will permit them to sell a crop at a profit ofteuer than once in ten years? Cigarette smoking among women is said to be increasing at a rat© alarming to those who feel this is another step backward in civilization, further proof that most of the slipping occurs in the larger cities for we are sure you will find but few girls or ladies in Adams county who are slaves to the habit. Watch for announcements concerning Old Home Week during the next few days. The finance committee has a.plan to solicit the support of every one in the community which they hope and believe will moot appauvai. Upon the success of this campaign depends the fate of Old Home Week. Boost for it. Now they want Claude Bowers to deliver the keynote as temporary chairman at. Houston' for they are still talking about the wonderful speech he made in Washington r< cently. It seems to be a sure thing that Mr. Bowers will have a prominent part on the national convention piogram and he may 1* a man to watch the next few yearfc. Secretary Hoover has decided to enter the Ohio primarily, matching his popularity against Senator Willis, which will at least give tlie latter an curly opportunity to learn whether or not the folks at home, those who know him best, believe ho is capable of handling the White Hctise job. It will be an interesting aontest and should add some color to the presidential race. The fate of the two Lafayette officials reminds the peopq; here of tlie kidnaping of Sheriff Baker and Deputy Hower a year and a half ago and of the fact that Hie Itniditu who tool, them -would have 'committed murder or any thing else t(p have got away. It. begins to look ns though officers will have to treat uvery prisoner as though he was a. desperate criminal to be on the safe aide. Senator Watson's candidacy for the presidency baa failed to stir the east, we learn from press dispatches and so little is it. considered i seriously that few of the big papers tyive even mentioned it editorially, wltich does not surprise us. The trutli is the announcement that he has thrown his soft, black felt bat into the arena lias scarcely caused a stir right Silre iu Indiana. • ' The Nickle Plate is to improk’c its passenger service, a fact that will pl< a.'ie many people, for; every drain in the country excepting the Build Pullmans, have been permitted to ( al-

most reach a point where travelers

until them only when they have io.

While much touring Its done via automobiles these days, there is likewise much need for passenger trains and wo believe the enterprise shown by the Nickle Plate will be appreciat- “• cd and liberally supported. f Senator Willis, of Ohio, a candidate ; for tho republican -nomination for president pledges himself to "a vig--1 orous, faithful and effective enforceJ nient of tho prohibition laws," which ’ is just one of the reasons why he ) j won't be nominated or elected. The I successful candidate must be willing ’ to promiso that but with a wink I ( which moans he won't be too strong on Insisting that every law- violator be punished. Politically we are a queer people. The democratic editors of Indiana will hold a two-day session—Thursday and Friday of this week—at the Claypool hotel in Indianapolis, talking shop and politics and having a good time, inoitly the latter. The Indiana Democratic Editorial Assd--1 ciation is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the middle west and tho meetings are always well attended and interesting. You are ' cordially invited to attend the banquet on Thursday evening in the Riley room and we arc sure you will enjoy it if you go. The one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was observed yesterday , throughout the land. No man in American history has been more universally and deservedly praised. Born in a backwoods with but meager opportunity tt> educate himself, ho struggled through, became a good lawyer, w'as elected president and had charge of this country during the most critical time in history. He preserved the Union and his clean life and high ideals compared to some of those in power now stand out the greater. It is generally agreed that we have too many laws in this country and that a simplification would be a great benefit. Chief Justice Taft of tbe supremo court of the United States has given the problem much thought and has recommended such a course. Each two years the legislatures meet in forty-eight states and in each session enact several hundred laws. Every year congress turns out a grist that would fill a library. It 'would bo impossible to obey them all without bumping into another statute. , Better have fewer laws, simplified so that anyone can understand them and I then enforce them to the letter. That | would make this a much better! country in which to live. o BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller, North ■ Tenth street, are the proud parents of; a six-pound girl, born February 12.1 The baby has been named Ruth Joann. | This is tbe first girl, but the second , child in the Miller family. —_ _ 0 USE IJmberlost Washing Powdc- 1

Petting Uill Continue Until Novelty Wears Out, Says 16-Year-Old Flapper

Columbus. Ohio —(UP) —Boredom may cauae high school youtha to stop potting and playing with hip pocket flasks but agitation against youth's so-called uprising will have little effect, Is the opinion of East high school students here. East high school, (')ouinbua recently attracted widespread attention when "The Rampant Age." work of Robert jS, Carr, an 18-year old East high ’ school youth called attention to alleged activities of wild youth here. Shortly after publication of the book a prominent young sophomore girl in East high was asked for comment as to real conditions there aa to tho views of her sex toward liberties taken by the young women of tender yeare. The history of petting to this particular young woman!—elie was only 16 —was vague. "1 don't know when these conditions started, or how,” she said I "They've been going on as long as I ; temember, and I've been going out for I years now." East high school students, she said did not look upon petting as a prime necessity of life and she suggested • that the custom was becoming so gen- ' eral that It might be killed off even- ’ tually because of the very fact that the novelty may wear off. "We like it," she said, referring both *¥¥¥¥¥¥«¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * ♦ ¥ From the Dally Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Yeare Ago Today ¥ «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥« Feb. 13—Rev.

to (letting and drinking, “and we'll probably keep right on with it until It begins to bore us. 1 don't know what we'll do then. ••After all. what is n person to do? You go out on a triple date and all he other girls neck. You hate to be a bum sport, and that's that. The sixteen-year old girl, who known to newspaper people i» Co himbus, made statements about high school life here that would make some of the statements io "The Rampant Age", seem antiquated. "I don't know why someone Haan t written it before." she said, "except that the high school kids are the only ones who really know what’s going on. The parents don’t know and the teachers don't know. The parents wouldn't know what to do if they did find out, so they don't try very hard. They'd tell us that petting and drinking aud so on all were wrong. But they couldn’t convince us." Most of East high school's parties are thrown out of town and there is little trouble from policemen this worldly wise young woman maintained. "The cops don't know half as many roads as the high school boys do, she concluded. -- . —" Mrs. Hugh Slumley, daughter Helen, and son John, of Lafountaine, and Lester Troxel, of Wabash, were over Sunday guests nt tho John Tyner home
