A woman out in Idaho has nominated her son for the Edison bright boy contest and Willie is only forty years old. Isn't that just like mamma? The weather man can sign off this station RAIN any time he wants to for about every one we have heard express themselves is sick and tired of the old shower record.

Though Mr. Hoover has been president less than three months he is finding ranch difficulty in getting congress to even come close to following his campaign promises and his evident desires. The farmer is not the only fellow who needs relief. Don't forget that every day should be mother's day as much as we cau make it. Don't feel that because you Bent her a i ard or a box of candy or a buncli of flowers last Sunday that you have done your duty for a year. Mother is a big part of every family and every household anti deserves the best there is all the time. The oats crop will not be much through here this year. To start with only about half the average amount was sown and now with the heavy rains of the past few days much of that will he drowned out. As is often the case in Adams county we will have to depend largely on corn, beets, hay and clover to furnish the field crops.

Fifteen Fort Wayne men received sentences of from three months to two years from Judge Thomas W. Slick for violations of the prohibition laws. That will give them time to think it all over and at least some of them will probably decide that the easy profits are not worth while when added to the business are the worries and disgrace of jail or prison. It is reported that almost all of the easements on state road No. 16 have been secured through Wells county and as soon as this work has been completed between this city and Huntington the highway will be taken over by the commission and maintained by the state. Efforts to secure the easements in this county will be made soon and it is hoped that action will not be delayed much longer. James Adams, hustling editor of the Columbia City Post has purchased the Commercial-Mail of that city and will operate both papers. Mr. Riddick, formerly of Wabash will edit the republican paper while Jimmy will continue to look after the Post. Both papers will be published from the one office, the news being identical excepting the editorial columns. As a business proposition it looks much better than trying to operate two offices. Farm relief may come in time to help some of the boys in knee pants but we fear it is not going to be a great aid to those actually engaged in the work today. Reminds us of jwhen; tk»e%Civil war soldiers Weie trying to get\ pensions. y MjMU of them succeeded after they were so old they didn’t care whether they got it or not. Getting any kind of relief from government sources is a job that requires plenty of courage, patience and ability. Edward Payson Weston, a hero in

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Bonville, Ind.. — (UP) — John El<er owns a hen that obeys the Sunday blue laws. Every day siuce Jan. 31. with the exception of Sundays, the hen has laid. our eyes tor years and in the eyes of about every one in America who loved the outdoors, died this week in Brooklyn at the age of ninety. He had walked across this continent a number of times and great homage was paid him for his athletic feats. He received much money durihg his life time but died in poverty, his savings having been lost by unwise investments in the latter years of his life. The Chicago Tribune says that during the past eighteen months, two hundred manufacturing plants of large and small dimensions, have moved from that city to the smaller cities of Indiana and Illinois. While some of these moved in order to take advantage of better working conditions, less labor costs and lower investments in real estate, the Tribune points out that many of them made the change because of offers being made which will provide fresh capital or credit and a warning is given Chambers of Commerce to watch themselves when buying in industries. The other day two small children j became confused in the traffic at i Main and White streets. They were' in the center of the street, too fright-1 ened to go forward or to retrace their steps. Streams of automobiles passed steadily on either side. An unknown driver, passing in his machine, saw their plight. The usual procedure for a motorist at a time like this is to drive on. This motorist, however, did an unusual thing. He drove to the curb, alighted, returned to the children:-and escorted them across 1 the street. Motorists with this man's consideration of others cau accomplish more for the cause of highway safety than traffic rules of encyclopedic quantity.—Haverville Gazette.

SHOW WINDOW DRAWS CROWD Annual Cluck Contest In Jewelry Store Creating Much Interest C. C. Pumphrey, local jeweler, has assumed a new task during these days of graduation, and every morning is obliged to wash a “too popular” showwindow at his store, which hears nose and finger prints of many anxious seniors of both the public and parochial high schools. The attraction within the window, is a large eight-day clock with watch dial, and upon the face of which, the name of every senior of the two schools is printed. The clock was wound at 9 o'clock Monday morning and placed in the display window. It was not wound light, for the first year that the clock was used it persisted in running twenty-eight days instead of eight. Therefore. Mr. Pumphrey, himself, is as curious as the students to know just bow long the clock will run. It may be three days, it may be eight days and it may be eighteen days. But, when it does stop, it is bound to stop with the long hand pointing across the name of some senior, and that senior, whoever he or she might be. is going to receive a Grueu watch, valued at $25. Last year, Evan Kek, brother-in-law of the Rev. Cecil R. Smith, was the fortunate young man. This is the fourth year that this idea has been used by Mr. Pumphrey, and. on two previous occasions, the winners were boys, with a girl winning the first year. ■— -Q'— ■

F. Bienz. Mrs. Bienz does an extensive mail order business, shipping birds to various parts of the United States. About one hundred birds of various kinds of domestic and imported canaries, linnets, nightingales, love birds, parrots, Mexican cardinals, etc. Mrs. Bienze has a white canary, also, which is said to be the only one in this vicinity. Last year, Mrs. Diene experimented with crossing canaries and linnets and produced mule canaries, which she shipped to Detroit and St. Louis. Although Mrs. Bienz specializes in canaries, she deals in all kinds of birds and can get any kind desired, and also carries a line of bird, fish and dog supplies. Who killed Mimi Bellamy? You’ll never know until the very last scenes. 11613 Washes, Carries Coal, Woman Gains 18 Pound “I wash, iron and carry coal and don't get tired since taking Vinol. Also, I have, gained 18 pounds.”— Mrs. S. Cortege. Vinol is a delicious compound of cod liver peptone, iron. etc. Nervous, easily tired, anemic people are surprised how Vinol gives new pep, sound sleep and a BIG appetite, i The very FIRST bottle often adds several pounds weight to thin children or adults. Tastes delicious. Smith, Yager & Falk, druggists.
