An 8. O. 8. went out | and a few hours afterwards the . twenty-five members of the crew were ( safe aboard the Illinois steamer. . Three boys were killed in Indiana one night this week while riding sleds hitched to automobiles. That should convince the most reckless lad that its dangerous sport that he f should not indulge in. The officers here have forbidden it and their ord8 ers should be t (implied with for your * safety. t Members of a beer gang in Chicago ' captured seven members of an oppos- 1 ing gang, backed them up against a e wall and shot them to death and yet we brag about enforcement in this country. Surely there is away to enforce law ami order if nothing else but we cannot do it if these "gangs" are to have their own way and their t own rules and laws. Placing a tax upon cigars aretes will not prevent smoking but 1 will add to the cost of those who do 1 it. American people do not give up 1 habits because of the costs. In fact ‘ it seems to us that the more expensive 1 it is to do a thing, the more of us 1 want to do it. Adding taxes in any : form is a serious thing and should ! not be done if it can be avoided. | There is genuine ami deep sorrow i in this community over the death of 1 W. A. Colter, cashier of the bank of i Willshire, (J . an Adams county son, 1 well known and widely admired, re- t spected and loved. Archie as he was i familiarly known was a man of fine character and much ability. The sympathies of many friends are ex- - tended to the bereaved ones at this i sad hour. Ami now it is being discovered that < the wonderful aid promised the farm- , ers of this country if Mr. Hoover was elected is to be a higher tariff on corn, wheat and oats. There may be , some convincing means of showing us 1 that will do the job but until it comes we shall cling to our belief that they ;

really don’t care a hang about the agriculturist except when they want his votes. A, boom is on to make Paul McNutt, dean of the law school in Indiana University. tiie president of the University of Michigan, a deserving compliment to a deserving man. Mr. McNutt, who is likewise national commander of the American Legion is one of the great young men of this' state. He has much ability and if selected to this high post will more than make good. His many friends here arc hoping the boom will carry on to a successful linisii. Adams county is fortunate indeed that her banks are being capably and carefully managed during this period when a lack of confidence is causing so much troiutle and loss in other counties of Indiana.. Banking depends upon confidence and the support of tlie. people of the community and it would have been better for every one in those counties where recent sttspensions have ocotirrcd if they had

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Oklahoma City, Okla. —(UPIA disappointed burglar, falling to find m ney after breaking Into the safe of the Oklahoma Mattress Company here, left the following note: “When I return to your fair | city please leave some cash. 1 am hungry, you tightwad." thought of that before rather than [after the closing ot their banking In- | stitutions. I House bill 272 in the legislature is one to do away with tne printing of the annual report of township trustees. Such measures are not being urged by the tax payers but by those who for some reasons prefer that the public not know the items for which money is spent. The cost for printing these reports are not large and the tax payers have a right to know I how their money is spent. We do not [believe that any legislator who is sincerely for the people will vote for this measure. If they do you should keep your eye upon them for they probably have something “up their sleeve." It now appears probable that the legislature will enact a law carrying a one-cent increase to the gasoline tax. While we do not argue that this is not an equitable tax ami insofar as it is not burdensome the very best way in which to raise money for road purposes but just now the people of Indiana would, we feel sure, much prefer that nothing be added. Unquestionably we need money for road purposes and lots of it lor from every section of the state come the appeals for paved highways but it is better to make them wait a year than to increase taxes at a time when they are bending every energy to meet current expenses. Wayne Williams who shot and killed Clem Foley at Fort Wayne, recently, is to receive the death sentence, according to the verdict of the jury while his companions who aided in the robbery, but not in the killing, will escape with life imprisonment. R, seems harsh and already their is talk of urging the governor to commute the sentence but it should be remembered that Williams took a life ami took it needlessly, that he confessed to taking part in many holdups in any of which he would probably have committed murder if resistence had been offered, that he is but one of many young men thus engaging and that the only way to break up the crime wave is by harsh punishment. We do not like capitol punishment nor do most folks but leniency has been shown until it looks necessary to put a stop to the increasing practice of robbery.

Pull Your Discs with Three-Fuel Power Built for tractor power, the one-way-disc pulled by a three-fuel Hart-Parr cuts to full width at any depth. You need not just skim your land, for Hart-Purr power enables you to set the plow down where it belongs and keep it there. Two-and even three one-way-disc plows are common behind the larger Hart-Parrs. They pay their way. Hart-Parr is the one tractor that develops tremendous power from gasoline, kerosene or distillate. We are now showing the improved 1929 line equipped with three forward speeds to speed up hauling and field work. Hart-Parrs are built for small, medium or large farms. Come in and see them.
