This is the time of year to renew and we are working as * I hard as we can to complete the job speedily and one hundred per cent. Well any way we have had about 1 any kind of weather this week that ' auy state in the union can boast of ' from six below zero to April showers * and every thing between it. c ■ -i ■ ■ 1 We complain much about germs but . we hav’ut found auy one yet sincere t enough to turn down a twenty dollar i bill because it looks as though it might have a few bugs lurking about. _ 1 Half the automobile owners in i Adams county have not secured their < 1929 license yet which means that i some twenty-five hundred must get < busy the next ten days. Don't wait for « the last day for you may get in a jam. ’ I A warsaw man sued his wife for < divorce. His wife filed a cross com- < plaint. The jury returned a verdict i for her giving her $50,000 alimony and t s♦oo a month until she remarries. ( Proof again that there are two sides t to every question. a — ■■ ' > While most of the weather com , moots the past day or so were of the j complaining sort, we heard several ( remarks that the rain helped out. At ( many homes the cisterns were get- , ting low and water scarcity is not a t pleasant thing. c t The fight between the Rockefellers . and Stewart has advanced the price of stock in the standard Oil of Indt iana to an unheard of point but the trouble is that so many of ns don’t have any of it and consequently can’t cut in on the opportunity to sell at ' a profit. 1 _________ B. F. Brlener, president of the 1 Adams county board of commissioners and Charles E. Magley, road superintendent of this county will take part i in the program of tho fifteenth annual road school at Purdue next week. 1 These men are qualified by experience to speak on the subjects which have been assigned them. That bill providing a penalty of twenty-five years in prison for banditry and burglary would be alright if they added that the governor couldn’t pardon them. Another bill provides for the death penalty if a victim is killed while a hold-up is In progress. Thats the only way it seems that the crime wave can be checked so we might as well make the penalties stiff enough to do it. No one argues that a larger sum could not be spent upon the building of beter roads in Indiana and it is agreed that the six million dollar per year advocated by the state highway ‘ commission is by no means out or reason, but to raise that money without burdening the people is the vital * question. There seems to be a general idea that a five cent gasoline tax * will do it. To many that is as serious ‘ as a direct levy would be. After all * its taxes so why not Just Increase the

Old age pensions is up again in the legislature and will produce the usual discussion. Some claim that by this means we could dispense with county infirmaries. Perhaps so but it would be a difficult job to take care of some of the patients and few would care to do so at what could be paid. These county Institutions seem to be necessary and properly operated as in this county, do not cause the public much money or uneasiness. Better let the pension business alone. Its an expensive proposition as proven in those states where it is being tried. Forty-nine men gratuated from the Reppert Auction School last evening and received diplomas. The class has been one of the best in the history of the school and Colonel Reppert expects every one of them to make good. That will of course depend on their own efforts. No sheep skin ever made a man successful. It helps of course but tire knowledge received in any school is helpful only when you use it. The men have received the fundamentals necessary to a career as auctioneers. The rest of it will be obtained from the school of experience During their stay here the class of January 1929 made many friends and they will watch their careers with interest. We seem to have a mania for tackling the unimportant things first. What if our homicide rates are the biggest ever seen in a civilized land? What if the bootlegger and the rum runner corrupt our government and poison our citizens? What if honest business men have to pay graft to illegal combines? What it robbers and plug-uglies can bamboozle the police daily? We can at least keep pedestrians from walking across the street at the wrong time: we can at least clamp down uu effervescent college lads who present a slightly Rabellasian play: we can at least jail for three months a woman who chooses not to wear stockings. Probably the real reason for all this is that we are lazy. We hate to take the effort necessary to clean up our cities, suppress crime and bring criminals to justice. Instead, we go after the petty violators. Such arrests salve our conscience and help us to forget that this great nation of super-effic-iency has reached new depths of inefficiency in tlie matter of law enforcement and civic order. —Wabash Plain Dealer.
