Pessimism never got any individual or any community any where. Its the man and the men who say, “we can and will” who succeed, every time and all the time. Lorene Jones who had her mother arrested for whipping her and who then left home is back, willing to take another strapping if she can have the comforts. Thats the usual result. Riding ’motorcycles or driving automobiles is tine sport but always there is a certain amount of danger and we should remember to be careful. The season is just starting and every person should assist in seeing that every precaution is taken to avoid accidents. The city of Bluffton will purchase a 1,5t»0 k. w. turbine for their electric plant, giving them a modern and complete station. They already have a 600 k. w. and a 1,000 k. w. and the plant is making money each year. Those cities which held on to their light and water plants seem to be getting by very good these days. The political ball is rolling in Ad- . aims county and from now on until I May Sth, the date of the primaries, < there will be plenty to keep you in- i terested if you believe in aiding in < the selection of those officers who < have control of affairs in your county, state and nation. The campaign will be exciting and interesting, you may 1 depend upon it. J austas 1 The year will slip along and it < won't seem like any time until we < are figuring up just what we did I during 1928. To the fellow who keeps i smiling when the other fellow says i you can't do it will come the usual t profit and to the community composed of people who keep things moving i will go the rewards? that always go to ' those who show the proper spirit and pep. i Rainbows in a clear sky and white circles around the sun yesterday caused many to wonder and to predict dire things as well as good luck. We confess we can't explain it and we doubt whether any one else can but any way it was a beautiful phenomena and worth looking at if for no other reason than to make us stop and consider bow little we really know about this grand old earth on which we live. The roads are yours and are for you to use, which doesn't mean you have a right to abuse them any tiiore than you have that right to destroy any other property. You would make an awful fuss if some one caused damage to your house or your car and it seems funny that you will permit them to destroy your roads when you know that in most cases its next to impossible to rebuild them. We have to smile when we hear some one say that there are not a thousand people in this community who cau afford five' dollars for an Old Home Week. You may not give it but there are very few of you who couldn't afford it if you wanted to. It would be a right good investment too so rercry one here for its the enterprise and the up and at 'em

energy that really counts. We hope you don't just decide to quit trying to keep the ball rolling. We presume that dicing the next ' six or eight months many will try to i gain fame by Hying across the Atlantic ocean. We wish they wouldn't ’ for some how or other we get the shudders when we hear some one is trying to and whuts the good of it I ’ any way? Guess theje is no way to i stop them if they wish to thus take | chances but it certainly does seem 1 to us a very foolish thing to do tini less you are tired of the hum drum of existence. We join with hundreds of the citizens of this community in expressing our sadness over the death of Mrs. Jessie Deani, one of the women of this city who was loved by all who knew her. She was of a high type, a splendid woman who gained her greatest pleasure by making others happy, who aided as she could and who never spoke any thing but good of others. Mrs. Deani will be sadly missed here where her family were pioneers and where she knew everyone and was known by every one. The sugar company has already secured contracts for more than eight thousand acres fdr this territory, the best record ever made up to this time. They hope to secure several thousand more and should. Beets provide a safe crop with an assured market and during times like these should be a part of the plans of every farmer who has land suited to them. The field men for the Holland-St. Louis company will gladly give you any information you desire and if you are interested you should telephone the office in this city. .. ■ ■ ■ .. — A Valparaiso judge has held that 1 hijacking is not a crime in Indiana which seems rather unusual to the ordinary citizen. Hijacking is stealing liquor and the judge says that be- 1 cause it is not particularly covered ( by statute it is not therefore a crime. Whiskey we understand retails at 1 from four dollais a gallon to fifteen dollars a quart. It certainly has some value as a commodity then and if it cah be stolen without punishment to the thief it is the only thing that is ? on the free list-. Under the same nil- ( c ing could one steal morphine er j drugs which are banned by law and r escape punishment? Captain Walter HinchHffe whose s plane has evidently been lost on the s Atlantic was by no means a novice, u He was known as one of the most ' daring aviators of England and had j. a great record in war service. In one C battle with a German plane he lost an eye but brought down the oppos- n ing plane. Miss Elsie Mackay was a the beautiful, daughter of an English I lord and that she had nerves of steel ’ is shown by the fact that she used ] every plan possible to make the trip 1 with Hinchliffe. A lot of brave people , a are throwing their lives away in these f trans-Atlantic flight attempts. — ■ ......

She was a charter member as well as a life member of the “World's Purity Federation.” For several years she has been denied the privilege of chut ch attendance liecause of declining health. She had a sensitive soul toward religious topics. She was never so happy as when she was engaged in religious conversation. The hymns sung and poems fead have been her choice selections. Her parting was in harmony with Tennyson's “Crossing the Bar," her favorite poem! "Sunset and evening star. And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep. Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight, and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no saduoss of farewell. When I embark; For I ho' from out our bourne of Time and Place, The flood may bear us far, I hope to sec my pilot face to face When I have crosse dthe bar. 0 Martz Barber Shop. 165 So. 2nd st.
