These are what you might call perfect March days. In another month we can begin to really look for signs of spring. • The man who carved watch charms out of peach stones left three boys: One invented the breakfast nook, another the rumble seat, and the third was responsible for the little folding chairs that go with bridge tables.— Detroit News. From the number of candidates for governor filed by both democrats and republicans, you certainly ought to be able to find one. that just suits the specifications your conscience demands. Looks like there will be about twenty in the race. Science is a . great. thing. It has just been discovered that since the vocal cords of women are shorter than those of men, less energy is required for a woman to talk than for a man. We always knew there was a reason but this is the first time it has been satisfactorily explained. Don Ward, of Union City, who presided as toastmaster at the Bluffton meeting is a star at'keeping an 1 audience interested. There may be 1 better toastmasters than Don in Indiana but it has never been our privilege to hear them. He has the 1 knack of keeping every one in a good humor and is a regular J. Ham Lewis in putting over the wallops between > his stories. i j More than 600 Belleville (N. J.) school boys were asked, "Who would i you like to be?" More than half of , them answered "Lindbergh." Next ; came President Coolidge, Edison and j Henry Ford. There were scattering votes for other notable Americans, and away down at tile bottom were , two for “dad." Somewhere, there are < two foitnnate fathers, with fortunate sons - Mid-West Magazine. The democratic national committee lias paid all bills and has a balance with which to start the 1928 campaign and so far as we have heard they did not receive any $160,0(10 contributions. They are planning for a real campaign this year and will no doubt need money with which to meet expenses, always a serious part of a campaign, especially in democratic circles. If you live long enough you will see cities built of glass. New York is considering the building of the first glass skyscraper in the. world, even now. How fairy-like it will look when it is lit up at night! William Ludlow, New York architect, predicts glass will take the place of stone in buildings and he believes it will be a good thing for desk workers who spend half their waking lives out of the health-giving sunshine. The new quartz glass lets the sun’s ultra-violet rays through. These rays are health promoters. The trouble with the delay in securing memberships to the Old Homo Week club is that it postpones plans that ought to be under way now. Remember it requires time to put on such an event successfully*. First, we must obtain the list of people who are away from home. That takes I

several weeks. Then we must send invitations and follow ups and programs that will convince them that it is to be a real show. We hope you don't wait too long to get this important movement going at full speed. Good roads are the best asset any . county can have and Adams county has worked along that line now about thirty years. We have spent millions I and we are still spending lots of ' money in building and maintaining , our highways. This year several miles of new road will be added and the state will take over one road entirely across the county. Its a fine work deserving the cooperation and support of every citizen. The best way to do that is to assist in keeping the roads hi good condition. Don’t overhaul while the roads are soft and don't let any one else do it. Why do so many men from "the country" wind up in the chief executive positions in industry and in public office,? Probably because they develop a stronger physical constitution and a broader education on many and varied lines of human endeavor and activity. The average man raised in the city does not have the same opportunity for mental and physical growth The man who gained his eaily turning away from the great centers of population generally has a broader vision of human affairs, and a betteir mental “yardstick” with which to see and measure the possibilities of the future. An editorial in an eastern magazine commenting on congress's inexplicable lack of action in providing flood-control for the Mississippi, even after strong recommendations by President Coolidge and Secretary Hoover, states: “Congress meantime, as Will Rogers says, has bills for | this and bills for that, is running | hither and yon to investigate here and investigate there, relieve the farmers,- force the federal reserve banks to curtail loans to brokers, investigate the operation of prohibition, promote the Boulder Dam and Muscle Shoals socialistic program and find out what ought to be the standard length of women’s and a few other equally essential things, but it has no time to devote to this paramotint issue, which involves the safety of human life and property in this great central valley of the United States.” While this is not true of many individual legislators who are intelligent and conscientious, it is only too often true of our lawmaking bodies in general. One band-wagon politician with an ax to grind can discount the efforts of a dozen real representatives of the people who are unwilling to stoop to shoddy practices obviously foreign to thei real purposes of government. As a result, we see time and money spent prodigally on absurd and destructive propositions and petty details, while questions of the first importance are shelved, or inadequately handled.
