It is claimed that the fourteen billion gallons of gasoline burned in this country last year would make a lake five miles in diameter and four feet deep, giving some idea of the volume of putt-putt used by Americans. The meeting of the Industrial Association last evening was a splendid one. with the younger men in charge and there was much evidence that progress can be made during the year. We are sure the enthusiasm displayed last evening should result in some good sized steps forward. Raising sugar beets has profited one man in Adams county an average of SIOO per acre for twelve years. That would mean on ten acres a total of $12,000 which would buy a well improved eighty acres. Think that over for you can perhaps do the same thing if you make up your mind to it.

One of the speakers at the meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association last evening suggested that attention be called to farmers who have not planted their oats because of the recent rains that there is plenty of time for beets and that the returns should far exceed the same acreage in oats or most any other crop. More than eight hundred laws, out of date and useless have been repealed by an act of the Ohio legislation. Several of them were in regulation of saloons, pertaining to closing on Sundays and holidays and selling to minors. They are of course of no good and only tend to burden the books. Congress is at it and they started right off with a farm relief bill. Fair as the skies seem now it is quite probable the bill will have some rough sailing before it reaches port. The worst luck we wish them is that they pass a bill that will actually aid the farmers and get home in time for May Day. You can buy an airplane now for as low as |2,000 and on payments and you can learn to be an ace f°r from S2OO to S3OO. We don't expect so many in Adams county to purchase but that the number is increasing in the United States year after year is evidenced by the continual gain in production. It will start one of these days and become a propular means of travel.

Well, all we have to say about those fellows who paid money to the Indiana Sheriff's Association, expecting protection when they violated the laws, deserve little sympathy. There can be no protection of this kind legally offered and you may rest assured that ninety-two officers from the state would never agree to any such plan. Its so ridiculous that we doubt if the originators ever secured the $25,000 they claim. « ‘ The plans of Adams post, American Legion, for a fall festival were presented last evening at the industrial meeting by Paul Graham, and sounded like the real thing. Every community is entitled to a play week and when fine entertainment is mixed with a display of farm products, it is sure to be most interesting. These young men are entitled to the support of

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Salem. Mass., —(UP)— For injuries received when she slipped on a pork chop and tumbled down stairs, Mrs. Elia Reynolds was awarded S4OO damages by a jury in court here. the community in their efforts. Mr. Graham assured a high grade, clean program with numerous features that will appeal. Michigan has enacted a law which prohibits the sale of fireworks and the use thereof excepting at regular municipal or state displays. It is done of course to reduce the list of Fourth of July casualties —death, ruined eyes, scars and bums and state law seems to be the only way to control the sale of such articles. The Wolverine state usually puts over a law or two each session of their assembly that is interesting to watch and a lot of folks will keep their eye on this one as they did their no speed limit statute and the one making bootlegging a felony with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The Decatur ludustrial Association last night voted in favor of day light saving for this year and a committee was appointed to present a resolution to the city council urging that an ordinance be adopted to make it effective. The council has the power to do that if they see fit or they may ask for a vote in the coming primary as has been suggested, thus securing the sentiment of the entire city. While there is no doubt that the change would prove inconvenient to some and the general mixing up of time would puzzle others, we are sure that if a majority want it, the rest will do their best to get along.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED, KONJOLA SCORED VICTORY Rejoices To Find In New Medicine Her First And Only Relief i MRS. MINNIE ROBERTS "It is little short of incredible what this w-onderful Konola did for me, af'er I had suffered for years from constipation, so deeply seated that I had come to believe that 1 never would be rid of it,” said Mrs. Minnie Roberts, 668 Virginia street, Gary. “I had dizzy spells that almost blinded me, and I had to clutch 'he nearest object to keep from falling. Indigestion was another trouble, and after each and every meal came gas. bloating and intense pain. I was told that ail operation was the only hope for me. I was greatly discouraged, and when my busband brought, home a bottle of Konjola I was at first not inclined to try it. "My husband insisted, and I started the treatment. Five bottles put my liver, bowels and stomach in perfect shape, and as the poisons were eliminated I could feel my odd health returning. Tcxlay I am a different person in health and appearance. No wonder Konjola is called the master medicine of them all.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith. Yager & Falk’s drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
