I The invitation may not be extended I much longer unless more interest is ! manifested. Washington s birthday, an occasion i when we ought to think of the things i the ‘‘Father of his country" fought for so many years. We need some such a spirit right now. Think of an Old Home Week next September, with banners flying, bands j playing, everybody having a good time and two or three thousand folks back home to say howdy and help the event along. Its a great thing J for any community to do. One question that we hope Governor Jackson will answer in his defense which he has promised to publish, is just how the appointment of his man for prosecutor meant ten thousand votes and thats what Mr. McCray says he told him. A fellow out in Evanston, Illinois, is skipping a rope 15,000 times today, the outstanding feature being that this is his fifty-eighth birthday. We don’t see the sense of it unless he figures this will get him more nororiety than would the same effort on cleaning the carpets for spring. D. C. Stephenson would like to be moved from the Michigan City prison to the reformatory at Pendleton, but he won't be. The reformatory is for boys and young men, not for criminals who have committed such an act as that for which Stephenson was convicted. His reasons for desiring the change, is, according 1o his peti- I tioii, that he is afraid of being mistreated by Warden Daly and Deputy Clauden because of the evidence he gave in the recent Jackson trial. Old Home Week won’t come without effort nor can we have it without the necessary funds to .pay for bands and tents, features and pageants, publicity and invitations, free attractions and entertainments. If you are in favor of an Old Home Week you will surely pay five dollars to join the club. While a number have already joined, there will have to be considerable more interest than has been manifested up to date, if it Succeeds. What do you say? Don't you want it? Mr. Hershman in his talk last evening said that nearly five hundred million dollars are invested in automobiles in this country, that improved roads would save fifty million dollars a year to the owners and yet we are spending only fourteen million dollars a year to obtain that saving, which is perhaps about all the average tax payer feels can be paid at this time. Its a big problem, an important one and deserving of careful study and economic action. Os course its just a little hard to understand why tiro state highway coni mission should see fit to build a concrete mad from the Adams county line into Fort Wayne aud a tarvia road through this county but we presume there is a reason. So far Adams county has not fared very well in the distribution of road Improvements but we are still hoping that we

will come out alright in the finish, if we can manage to live long enough to see It. We are not sore but some of our folks are a little disappointed. i ■ i ‘ ’ Harry Sinclair's millions did not t save him from a six months jail sentence, nor did the influence of Wil- * Ham J. Burns, famous detective and his son and H. Mason Day, another millionaire prevent them from being ' found guilty by the supreme court of i the District of Columbia. They were ' i tiled for contempt of court growing I ■ z out of the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy I I i trial and directly out of the employment of detectives who shadowed the jurors, causing a mistrial. It is gratifying to know that courts still decide questions upon the laws and the evidence. Those best able to judge as to ! needs at the Adams County Memorial j hospital say that one of the things most necessary just now is a home . for the nurses, so that they may ' have rest when they need it. The hospital, recognized as one of the best in this part of the country, is operated in a high-class manner and we are sure the people of this county wish them to so continue. 1-ast week I there were twenty-nine patients in the j hospital and nineteen special nurses were on duty. Some plan should and no doubt will be worked out to make those who devote their time to aid those who are ill or suffering from injuries, as comfortable as possible. - Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, nos an automobile 'manufacturer, but formerly an American Ace during the war, has visions of a 100-foot transi continental highway, with a speed | minimum of 100 miles, and many cars traveling even faster. At that time there will be 50,000,000 automobiles on the highways and they will be flying, as at this speed they will be able to hit the ground only occasionally. All this will come in 1950, but within five years there will be huge airships flying from Europe to Japan, over America. Some may think Rickenbacker a dreamer, but sti anger things have happened within the past twenty-five years.—Hartford City News. During the past two years we have had numerous promises from the state highway commission regarding the establishing of a state highway between the Ohio state line and Huntington but tile public announcement by Hon. Gedrge Hershman, a member of the commission in his address to the Decatur Industrial Association surely makes it plain that during the next few weeks the route will ite definitely decided upon and the road actually taken over during the next three or four months. That will be fine and will be more than appreciated here. Mr. Hershman gave a very interesting history of the road commission aud explained the problems with which they have to deal. He seemed very fair in everything he said and our people will be glad to cooperate with the commission in any reasonable way. We feel we have waited long enough for this recognition and hope that every promise made will be kept. We believe that will be true. —o *«¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Commander Krylenko, head of the Russian armies, promises a struggle to the death tor Germany but German atmies, however, meet slight opposition in their march toward Petrograd from Minsk to Mohileff.

Tips For Taxpayers No. Nine In computing the tax on earned net Income, consideration is given the taxpayer engaged in a trade or business in which both capital and personal service are material incom-pro-ducing (actors. ‘ A reasonable allowance as compensation for personal services" Is considered as earned income. Such allowance is not to exceed 20 per cent of the taxpayer's share of the net profits of such trade or business. For example a taxpayer received in 1927 from a business in which both personal services and capital are material income-producing factors a net profit of $30,000. The 25 per cent credit Is computed on 20 per cent of $30,000, or $6,000. The amount payable is the tax on $3,000 less 25 per cent of the tax on $6,000. The earned income credit is allowed members of a partnership, such credit applying to the share of the net income belonging to each which consists of earned income. As in the case of an individual taxpayer, if capital and personal services are both material income-producing factors, the 20 per cent limitation still applies. In such cases the salaries paid to the members of a partnership should be added to their distributive shares to determine the “reasonable allowance for personal services." For example, the “A" part nership, consisting of two members, made in 1927 a net income of $40,000 Each partner drew during the year a salary of $7,000. These salaries should be added to the net income, making a total of $54,000. Hence $27,000 is the distributive share of each partner. Each partner, therefore, is allowed 20 per cent of $27,000, or $5,'00 as earned net income, although his salary was $7,000. 0 — — . *¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * g¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ S WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RODIO FEATURES WEAF—Hookup B:3Q Cerdi's Opera WOR —Hookup 9:00 Columbia hour.

ODOR OF COOKING FOOD MADE HIM SICK AT STOMACH Lived On Graham Crackers And Milk Until He Got Konjola KL MR. JOHN FLEMING "Konjola relieved me of the worst case of stomach trouble anyone could have and still live,” said Mr. John Fleming, 2102 E. Cass St., Joliet, 111. "I suffered every kind of stomach misery for three years. Just a few bites of solid food caused a sour, acid stomach that would bloat me up with gas and a hot, bitter liquid would rise in my throat. I lived on graham crackers and milk for over a year. Even the odor of cooking food made me sick at the stomach. I often suffered with severe headaches and dizzy spells. “A full treatment of Konjola cleansed my whole system and ended every ache and pain in my body. I never have the slightest trouble with my stomach any more and the sight of food makes me hungry. I have a good appetite and everything I eat agrees with me. No other medicine ever helped me like Konjola and I am glad to tell others about it." Konjola is sold in Decatur al Smith. Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all druggists throughout this section.

Spent Fortune on Bad Stomach Had 28 Years of Indigestion and Kidney Pains. Entirely Well Now. Anyone suffering from stomach trouble, kidney pains or rheumatism will be glad to read how health was restored to Milo Shaw, 219 Kenwood Ave., Elkhart, Ind. He says: “I have spent several thousand dollars trying to recover my health. For 28 years I have had stomach trouble in a most agonizing form. Food would seem to lie like a rock in my stomach, I would bloat with gas and the pain was terrible. In addition, for the past 18 years, I had kidney weakness, which got me out of bed often nt night—some nights, every half hour—and my back ached like a sore tooth all the time. I couldn’t sleep, my bowels were clogged, and my life was miserable. I would work a few days and then have to lay off, I felt so wretched. I bought and did everything anyone recommended, and finally tried Viuna. I had no faith left in anything, but after the fifth dose of Viuna, my stomach pains disappeared. After a few more doses, my kidneys stopped bothering me, and have never troubled me since. My back-ache soon disappeared, and I have had good sleep ever since. I gained 5 pounds in one week. My constipation is gone, and I can eat anything without a sign of pain or indigestion. I’m hungry all the time —just can’t eat enough—and never felt better in my life. Had I known of Viuna sooner, I could have saved thousands of dollars and years of suffering.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the' blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion,and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. <Thon if you're not glad you tried Viuna. your money will be refunded. $t at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.
