They may misrepresent other things too. its hard to understand why any publication is willing to pay six dollars a word for Mr. Coolidge's writings when they coil'd buy a dictionary for a third of what one word costs. Senator Heflin now knows or should know that he has about the same proportion of friends in the senate as he has over the country. The vote on his ‘ bottle throwing" resolution re suited 70 to 14 against it and him. Its doubtful however if that will stop the noisy Alabamian. The rain, sleet, snow and hail of course did no good and the question now is how great was the damffgc. Thats rat In i hard to guess on. There is this to hope lor however —that the corn crop which is the backbone of farming in this section may still be a bumper. It is claimed that out of more than live hundred companies organized to manufacture automobiles the past twenty-live years, less than fifty are now operating and of these twelve companies did over ninety-eight per cent of all the business last year. So far congress hasn't settled any thing and about the only thing definite by the administration the past mouth hat been to decide who is to sit or stand next to who at the receptions. Compared to farm relief thats not so important to the average middle west citizen. Next Tuesday is primary day and you should vote. Because there arc no contests excepting for clerk and treasurer on the democratic ticket should not keep you from registering your vote as a democrat or republican. You should show your good citizenship by taking advantage of the right of suffrage. Thirty-one boys in Adams county have joined the beet club and each will' put out and fake care of one acre. It in not the thirty-one acres that counts but the fact that these youngsters are willing to assist in a • movement of this kind. They will enjoy the work, should reap a good profit and some of them will secure prizes offered by the sugar company and local merchants. Evidently the,Jones law is to be used by most federal judges as a reserve force for punishing law vio--1; ors. In several cases liefore Judge Bullzell at Indianapolis the sentences administered Were no heavier than could have been and probably would have been imposed under the previous laws but the judge warned the offenders never to appear before him again. If they do it Is quite probable the Jones law will be used to emphasize what he believes it was intended for. Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate, good fellow. millionaire and well known citizen will enter a federal prison next 'ibpda/ to pay lhe penalty for contempt of the senate, it is regretted that a man of his standing should be thus hiimiliarted but in this country, position should not count and the millionaire must take his medicine tin sjme as the poorest man who vioihtes lay.

, TODAY’S CHUCKLE Oakland. Cal. —(UP)— Arraigned in police court for laughing bo uproariously In a theater that he distrubed other persons, 'Edwin Mathison told the judge he worked ■ In a casket factory all day and had 1 to do his laughing at night. Charge dismissed. i servo ninety days in prison or the I workhouse. J J! >..!!.!!.■! ’ You have been asked to lielp decide 1 whether Decatur Is to have daylight i I saving time or not. A referendum vote will be taken upon this question next Tuesday in connection with the primary. Upon the result of that vote the city council have promised 1 to act, doing as the majority express | themselves. Surlcy you have an intercut one way or the other. If you have you should vote and then abide by the result. If you desire to post yourself by calling or writing Homo friend in nearby town or city where they have had it, you can easily find out whether or not they like it, what the advantages or disadvantages are. This column has stood out consistently in favor of a law, and its strict enforcement thereafter in this state, requiring every iierson who drives a motor car to pass an examination as to his fitness to drive. This should take into the age of the applicant, his physical and mental condition, his reputation and his knowledge of driving, the last-named qualification to include at least some information as to the mechanics of his car. The state of New Jersey last year refused drivers' licenses to 29,000 persons classed as "defectives," and turned down the applications of 13,013 others who were found not to understand adequately the operation of a motor car. This law, which- New Jersey is attempting strictly to enforce, is declared to be responsible for a substantial decrease in automobile accidents in that state last year. There is no more reason why one who is unlit shall be allowed to operate a potential death-dealing machine like the automobile than why one who is unaware of the danger in a shotgun, and who has nu knowledge of its operation or mechanism, should be permitted to mingle freely on a crowded downtown street armed with such a weapon. Automobiles kill many thousands more persons in America every year than do all the guns in use. — Muncie Press. Two Barber Shops At Berne Are Merged Berne, May 3 —(Special)—Through a deal consumated Tuesday evening, The Habit Barber shop and the Big Four shop has been occupying, it is ed. Marcus Ixdiman was proprietor of the" Habit shop, while Otto Coffin and Werner Lehman were owners of the Big Four shop. The new firm will operate in the building which the Big Four shop has bee noccupying. It is planned to add a beauty parlor and baths to the shop. RUPTURE EXPERT HERE E. J. Meinhardt of Chicago, the well-known Rupture Shield Expert will personally be at the Anthony Hotel. Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Monday only. May 6th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p. m. NOTICE—OrIy gentlemen are invited to call at this time as special arrangements will be announced later for women and children. Mr. Meinhardi says: "The Meinhardi Rupture Shield"* will not only retain the Rupture perfectly. but it exercises and strengthens the weakened muscles — thereby contracting the opening, in 10 days on the average case, usually giving instantaneous relief, withstanding all strain regardless of the size or loiation of the Rupture. "The Meinhardi Rupture Shield” has no uuderstraps. It. is also perfectly sanitary and practically indestructible and can be worn while bathing. Ruptures often cause Stomach Troubles, Backache, Constipation, Nervousness and other ailments which promptly disapper after the Rupture is properly retained. Phase do not write asking for literature or to be fitted by mail. as this is impossible. Every case must he seen personally; therefore, I visit this section from time to time. There is no charge for demonstration. SPECIAL NOTICE—AII customers that I have fitted here during toe past five years are invited to call for inspection for which there will be no charge. Please note the above dates and office hours carefully. Business demands prevent stopping at any otner city in this section. (This visit is for white people only.)—E. J. Meinhardi, ' Home Office, 1551 N. Crawford Ave- , tiue, Chicago.—advt.
