THE NEW PRESIDENT: — The nation today honors its new president. With proper and fitting ceremony, in Keeping with the high office and the dignity of th" greatest government on earth. Herbert C. Hoover, at noon today, was inaugurated as the thirty-first president of the United States. It was a solemn and impressive occasion when Chief Justice William Howard Taft administered the oath of office to the new president. The office of president is ;ui honored one, the greatest in the gift of the people, and when it comes to inauguration, Americans as a whole thrill at the thought, lay aside partisan feelings for a day and join in ushering in the chief executive.

The orphaned son of a village blacksmith, Herbert Hoover, became an engineer after leaving college and, during the World war, gained an international reputation as food administrator. Although not a resident of this country for ten or twelve years, the war gave him the opportunity to administer his ability and his name became, as they said in the campaign, a “household by-word." In the department of commercJTTie served as secretary in the administrations of President Harding and President Coolidge and business was more or less satistigd with his administ ration of this office. In Hoover, the American tradition of “from log cabin to White House’’ is continued and proves to the world that this country is the land of opportunity. Following the peaceful administration of President Coolidge, the most important questions for solution now are the tai iff farm relief and prohibition. President Hoover has never displayed political acumen, nor is he counted a partisan party man and his test in dealing with a political government will come probably in the extra session of congress, when it takes up the revision of the tariff and the farm problem. Thu country expects him to (ead the way. ’ President Coolidge retires with the best wishes of the nation Although his administration was uneventful, he T Aat steady in the boat and piloted the ship of state through in good order. Revolution has broke out in Mexico and although a federal censorship was established in Use country eautly last night, the tint reports tert of a serious state of affairs. For sometime, the casual reader has been, wondering what would be tire outcome of the conditions in Mexico and the revolution seems'to, be the answer. Hebei troops are marching on. and have captured several cities, according to the early reposts and bloodshed is seen pit every hand. The government is attempting to combat the rebellion and unless the revolt is quickly stopped will be a menace to other nations. Our own Lindy is In Mexico, the guest of Ambassador Morrow and it looks as if the Mexican situation will be the first important question to come before President Hoover. One of Ihe last official acts of President Coolidge was the signing of Hie Jones bill, designed to put teeth in the prohibition law. It provides for a maximum sentence of live years

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE New Haven, Conn,, — (U.R)—Two burly campus cops were summoned to eject a sleeping Yale senior from an English class when his , snoring drowned out the lectureIl was in Prom week, , I 1 ■ j—— ill prison and a $10,00(1 fine. Those violating the prohibition law, either by sale, manufacture, transportation, importation or exportation, if found guilty, are liable to the heavy fine and sentence. The law becomes effective at once and congress has also appropriated an additional three million dollars to assist lu carrying out Its enforcement. The Hoover administration will make an effort to enforce the law and the country is anxiously awaiting the outcome. The Berne Bears coped the sectional basketball championship Saturday night by defeating the Geneva Cardinals in the final game of the tournament. The Bears won their way to the top by defeating the Decatur Yellow Jackets in the morning and then taking the Kirkland Kangaroos for a ride in the afternoon. The Berne boys will represent the county in the regional tourney at Fort Wayne next Saturday, meeting the Milford high school quintet for the first game and with the same brand of fighting spirit and determination as displayed here Saturday, fans feel sure that victory will be theirs. Good luck boys. Remember you're from Adams county and that we're pulling for you. Miami liked the Sharkey-Stribling fight so well that plans are under way to hold a match there every year aud Dempsey and his crowd are already

looking for material. Some communities try to locate factories, but the follows in Miami have a quicker way to get the cash and swell the population over night. Society reporters covering the Lindbergh-Morrow wedding will have a double duty. Space must be given to a description of Lindy's clothes. ■“ The Berne Beal’s are the victors and to them the best of wishes for success in the regional tourney at Fort Wayue are extended. Northampton, Mass., after tomorrow will have as its leading and honored citizen, Calvin Coolidge, ex-presi-dent of the United States. Then, in case you have forgotteu, the new vice-president is Charlie Curtis. Basketball has its surprises aud upsets and that's what makes it so interesting. So far the March lion has not been \ heard from. We salute the new president. - ————o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q What is the minimum space that should be allowed for each guest at the table?

Hoover Highlights (By United Press) “The most malign of all these dangers (which confront this country) today is disregard and disobedience of law." “There would be little truffle in illegal liquor if only criminals putroniced it. We must awake to the fact that this patronage from large membere of law abiding citizens supply* the rewards and stimulates crime.” "Through liberation from widespread poverty we have reached a higher degree of individual freedom than ever before.” "I have been selected by you to execute and enforce the laws of the country. I propose to do so to the extent of my own abilities, but the measure of success that the government shall attain will depend upon the moral support which you. as citizens, extend.” “Our whole system of self govennneiit will crumble either if officials elect what, laws they will enforce or citizens elect what laws they will support.” "Regulation of private enterprise and not government ownership or operation i» the course rightly to lie pursued in our relation to business." "Progress is born of cooperation in the community—not from government restraints." “We have need further to perfect the means by which government can be adopted to human service." “The whole world is at peace. The dangers to a continuation of this peace today are largely the fear and suspicion which still haunts the world. No suspicion or fear can be rightly directed against our country." “The animosities of elections should have no place in our government for government must concern itself alone with the common weal.’’

Do women read advertisements? DO YOU? Do you clip recipes from the fascinating messages that advertise a new salad oil, a new frying fat. a new cake flour? Do you think twice about your skin, those wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, your tell-tale past-thirty neck because of beauty ads that bring romance about happiness, love and y° uth? . . IN planning advertisements, the question is often asked, “Do women read advertisements?” The experienced advertiser answers, “Yes —if they are interesting and instructive to read.” THIS is the spirit of the best modern advertising. More and more, the ideal is to show you definitely how a new product can work to your well-being, your pleasure in life, your greater happiness. By reading advertisements, you can be a better housewife, a more efficient home manager, a shrewd and thrifty buyer. The advertising pages of this newspaper contain information that is valuable and important. If you do not read advertisements, join the .large army of women who do, in order to know the best things to buy for yourself, your children and your home. . , OlfW Reading advertising regularly is keeping up with the times in the most economical way.
