Newspaper writers claim that rab-' bits in Minnesota are so large this spring they look like bears. We have heard the Volstead act was not being rigidly enforced in that section. Hijacking is not a crime in Indiana. Well from what we have been : led to believe by the exposures of Tom Adams and others, a lot of other things that we supposed were crimes 1 are just smart politics. Governor Jackson would like to , make some political speeches, it is I announced. Don't the statute of, limitations run as to that, too? It ought to if it fits so well in other cases. Governor Al Smith thinks that whoever is nominated for president by the. democrats, the issue ought to bel the present economical conditions and how we can provide employment for the 120,000,000 of this country, which is not such a bad idea. After all, most of the things we talk about are petty. Woodbridge N. Ferris, United States senator from Michigan, is serioeaiy ill with pneumonia in Washington. He is one of the great men of the nation, an educator of note who has appeared at county institutes here on several occasions anil who is held in the highest regard by all who have ever come in contact witli him. 'I he railroads entering Cincinnati have been granted permission to build a terminal station that will cost $31,-' 500,000 and will be one of the finest \ in tlie country. We are proud of the fact that Mr. Eddison Brock, a De-1 catur man will superintend the con-1 st ruction of this building, selected because of Ins great ability along that line. Its hard to understand how that Seattle girl ever got up the courage to go over to Bombay, India, and marry Tukojirau llolkar, even though he is a prince and has a lot of pearls and diamonds, but we can understand | that better than we can how his two wives dressed up and went to the w. tiding and greeted tile new bride with a smile. Captain Rickenbacker wants the government to build a four hundredtoot paved road across the continent and declares that by 1950 we will j have fifty million automobiles in operation and that the speed will average ninety to a hundred miles an hour. That will lie going some and we might add that this roadway will be no place to be sauntering along with your girl or fooling around ,on a bicycle or roller skates. Josephus Daniels has got it figured | out that (measuring prosperity by a' yard stick Is rather a difficult job but | for some reason or other only ninetylive concerns out of a total of 89X100 manufacturing establishments made! money last year, so something is. wrong. If we told you.it was 100 much favor for a few and not enough for all you might think we were trying lo inject politics. Herbert Hoover has many friends and will no doubt be the early favorite in the republican national convcsu-

> tion, but bls enemies declare he won't do because he supported President Wilson, because in 1920 he didn't know what his politics was, because ! he doesn't believe In a protective tar.jiff for the benefit of a particular fe-w, t. because he didn't like the Haugeni McNary bill and for a hundred other reasons, any one of which would be fatal for a democratic candidate, so , we just can’t help wondering if they i can put him over. ——— 1 Senator Tom Walsh proposes to ' continue his investigations of political campaign funds and the grafts which go with that Into the present campaign. Tliats getting down to business. Investigating what happened eight years ago or four years \ ago may be alright but it doesn't help much politically if we let them just change the plans a little and keep right on doing it. The thing to do is to explode a few bombs in the midst of one of these national cam- ; paigus. -.1 SB!HH—se— Secretary oi Labor James J. Davis is out in u denial that four million men are out of employment in this country but admits that half that ■ number are. Lets don’t quarrel about the exact number. That* not nearly ‘ so important as it is that what ever | the number is its large enough to ! cause a business slump and if there is any way to start something that | will provide employment, lets do it. i We still believe it would have been 1 wise to have started the flood preI vention job a year ago. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette ! which is Lew ElUnghain’s paper are now comfortably located in their handsome new home and the public I I is invited to attend the official opening to lie held next Monday evening , from 7:30 to 9:30. Needless to say we will be there with "lard in our hair" along with hundreds of others 1 of the Adams county faithful. This , leading morning paper of northern; Indiana is now splendidly equipped and every thing about the new building shows good taste and judgment. IWe are sure you will like it. The Muncie 'Bearcats'’, which is* the nickname for their high school, basketball team, captured the champ-1 ionship belt Saturday night when ‘ they defeated Martinsville by one point and that one point came just a ’ few' seconds before the gun sounded i : when the tall center heaved the ball i in the basket from the center. Luck? Os course. But thats one of the ele- 1 meats which enters into every con- ■ 1 test and has about forty per cent I I credit in every success. The “Bear-, eats” fought several great battles to | win the itle and deserve all the | credit they are receiving from the wild and enthusiastic fans of that city. Sixty-one dealers in field seeds, handling ninety per cent of the nation's commercial supply have united in a service with the department of agriculture at Washington, authorized to issue verified-origin seed cer-, | tificates for seeds covered by a fed I I era! inspection certificate. The new' service has been established to pro-! tect buyers against misrepresentation as to the origin of any seeds but as usual when the government does a thing there is no guarantee. The idea in other words is excellent but back of it is nothing to convince the , farmer that he will not be “skinned” some where down the line. If he isn't it will be about the first lie has escaped. Adams county farmers, or at least a number of them have decided to wait and see if any damage comes to the corn in this section from the corn borer and then to fight it that much harder. They also believe that ■ at least ninety per cent of the money jappropriated to fight the pest should come to those who have to do the work, all of which seems very reasonfable to us. In other words our farm- , era, like those in other sections, are willing and anxious to do reasonable things but doi care to lie ordered , things but don’t *carc to be ordered I around by white collared inspectors ■ who get all the jnoucy and do none [ I of the real work. 0 Get the Habit —Trade at Home, it Pays

FOX FARMING GROWS POPULAR Gary. Ind.. March 19—(U.R) -There will be approximately 500 silver fox farms lu Indiana, within the next ten year*, in the opinion of Frank F. Tuplin. of Alpine, Michigan veteran fox raiser and owner of a nation-wide string of sliver fox farms, who addressed Gary optimists here recently. Indiana at present has about hah a dozen silver fox farms, Toplin said, but this number will increase just as it has in other states. TupUn recalled that when the Hud sou Bay company entered Canada 360 years ago, a silver fox was almost a priceless rarity. The pelts were shipped to England and sold to nobility at i enormous pt ices, he said. "The fox then was considered a I freak of nature,” Taplln declared, "and was rarely found. Fur fanciers, how ever, started breeding what foxes they had in captivvlty until now the silver strain is preserved.” Taplln engaged in the work some years ago and followed it through to success. Today, he said, the trapped silver fox is scarcer than ever. "Fox farming business is rated fifth in value and profits in the United States at Present,” Tuplin said. Tuplin said that there were approximately 5,000 fox farms in the country now. 0 MONEY TALKS Raise big healthy chicks by using Queen or Scnafer Colony brooders.
