The easements on the Spuller road route as proposed by the state highway commission should be in within the next week if we are to secure the improvement next year ami of course everybody is hoping we can get it. An extra Good Fellow will not wait until the very last minute to subscribe to the fund to insure a Merry Christmas for the poor children of his community but lie will get his bit in right away so that there will be no doubt about the succes of this years campaign. “Mr. Hoover will get out and push, where President Coolidge has been content to sit at the wheel and steer," ami he will probably get along just | tine until he strikes the rocky road which leads through congress. If he don't blow all his tires and the spares then, he may be permitted to continue furnishing the gas and more power to him. Drys violently attacked the Coolidge administrations enforcement of the liquor law yesterday, but that doesn't frighten any one for the same fellows worked for and voted for Mr. Hoover who promised the same kind of i action. The debate occurred during the house session yesterday when an amendment was offered to raise the prohibition enforcement appropriation 1 to $250,006,000. There is at least this to say about the economic conditions in this country at the present time, we suffer , from an over supply rather from fam- , ine as quite frequently lias occurs in some of Hie nations of the eastern hemisphere. Now if this country which is blessed with too much of everything could plan to take care of those countries in which there is a shortage, the problem would be largely solved. Adams Post, No. 43, American Legion, is making a drive for membership and it should be easy. Every veteran of the recent World War should join and should assist in every way possible to make the organization one which will aid the post to serve "God and country" as the purpose is stated. The young men of this body have wonderful opportunities along that line and the larger the membership tile better the post can operate for the general good of the community. Whoever that judge is down at New Castle. Indiana, who passed sentence on the live men who confessed to robbing a bank at Sulphur Springs, lie is entitled to a monument, for his quick action and for the fact that instead of seeing how easily he could let them off he gave them the limit. Four of the bandits got fifteen years in prison and the oilier one twenty and just for good measure he added a couple ,vs live year terms. Thats ®the kind of sentences that will help more titan any thing to check banditry. 1 There is a general desire to cooperate in such manner that Adams county will be the equal of any other county on stale roads and that's as it should be. Naturally the state highway commission takes care of those counties from which they re-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Bridgeton, N. J. Dec. 8-<U.R)— Mrs. Ellzabth Brooks, 95, takes off her glasses when she reads her Bible. She Is now going through the 1 boot f;r the 3t»t time. She said her record was line to tin* system of readlu* three chapters on weekdays and five on Sunday. celve the aid and consideration to which they feel they are entitled. We must forget personal reasons for objections and work one with the other for those improvements which are beneficial. If we do that we will get our share of them and if we don't we will always be at the rear of the procession. There is beyond question just now a tendency of combinations in business enterprises, especially in those lines which can be combined to advantage. Whether is is good or bad for the country can only be determined by the future but the young>man who thinks he is being shoved out and that there is no chance for him is certainly wrong. Most of the captains of industry who are now managing the greatest corporations in America and that means in the world, were poor boys. Sons of the rich Stockholders of the big plants do not have the same ambitions as do those who must fight their way up the ladder and there is still every chance for the young men who will give their best energy and thought to the | company by which they are employed It is interesting to follow the present trend of business for any one can see the shift from individual ownership i to group control. Its here now and growing. State Chairman It. Earl Peters has prepared a bill to be introduced in the coming session of the legislature asking for separate state and national tickets in the elections. The bill will probably be pigeon holed and kept there but any way its a good thing to be presented. There is little doubt but that Mr. Dailey would have been elected governor if separate tickets had been used, which is the reason j Mr. Peters urges it perhaps and the reason the republicans will oppose it. However it should be remembered that after all the people have the final say in these things and if they | desire such a change badly enough I they may at the next election choose a legislature which will give them what they want. Os course such a change should be made and probably eventually will be, though we have little hope of it at the coming session. They are going to be too busy spending an additional ten million dollars. — o — *«*¥¥¥*¥«¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Dally Democrat File * ¥ Twenty Yeara Ago Totfay • *«*¥¥¥*¥•«••* Dee.

Harry Eerntheil. of the I Presbyterian church, spoke at the Friday chapel program on "11 jw to Read the Bible". He said that since the first | grade the pupils had been taught how : to study and read. Reading the Bible is ( just the same as studying any other book, to learn what is inside one must open the B ok and lead it. However, a person should not expect to find it an authority on all subjects. When read-j lug the Bible, two questions should be I kept in mind: What does the B ok j teach about God? What does the Book ; teach about God's relation to man. The important thing in studying the Bible is n t to memorize it. but to understand its meaning. Rev. I''erntheil said. He quoted several passages illustrating his jxiints. A good pep session was held at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Everyone showed a very fine spirit. At a meeting of the freshmen class, Robert Brown was elected secretary. Rudolph Brandyberry, the officer chosen at the first of the year, has withdrawn from school. o Can Conquer Snake That formidable appearing lizard of the Southwest, the Gila monster, whose bite is poisonous, is able to vanquish, the diamond back rattlesnake, the deadliest of the species, In combat. In Arizona recently a Gila monster and a rattler were placed in a drug store window, where they fought out their differences. The fight lasted a day. The lizard finally killed the snake. o Needle Industry The principal manufacturers of needles in Great Britain make about 600,000,000 a year. Sixteen different operations are required to make an ordinary sewing needle. The smallest needles are made from wire 0.0085-lnch in diameter, and 1,000 of them weigh less than a quarter of an ounce. .— 0 , ■ Dates From Crusades The town and fortress of Peterwarlein, Yugo-Slavia, was once a Roan tort. The present name means “forress of Peter.” The soldiers for the irst Crusades were collected there by Peter the Hermit. The name was giv•n to the place because of this clrcutnitauce. — o World’s Highest Bridge The highest bridge In the world Is the railway bridge that crosses the gorge of the Zambezi just below the | famous Victoria falls in South Afri ) ca. it is 400 feet above the water.
