Unless there is a let up in the rain soon this community will suffer a considerable loss. The situation is serious because the weather is preventing the harvesting of beets and corn. By the way, we haven’t had our Indian summer yet, have we? Most folks have probably forgotten that we liave that slelightfnl season coming but unless all signs are wrong we should receive a week or two of sunshine now. The macadam roads in Adams county can be ruined in a few days unless care is used in the hauling of excessive loads. We would not prevent any one from engaging in their regular avocation hut we do hope every one will be as careful as possible while the highways are soft. When th* stock markets were up and every one had a profit we read and heard much of the good times

with much credit to the administration. but when the bottom fell out there was no evidence that the boys in Washington were assuming responsibility for that. Guess that’s natural though. Aud now another season of basketball. the great American winter indoor game. In every county in Indiana there are a dozen or so good teams and tli,e fans are anticipating some exciting games. In old Adams county there are as usual a bunch of excellent fives and the season will close in the early spring with the tournaments. Both the Yellow Jackets aud the Commodores have stilt schedules, so get ready for a lot of real sport, starting tonight. The stocks are steadying, a little slowly perhaps but those really w’orth something from a point of earning will continue gain until they have reached a point of their real value.

Fifteen years ago the V. 8. opened th Panama canal. Since ‘that time tolls paid by vessels passing through the canal have totaled $223,751.652. This is within $">0,000,000 of the original cost of the canal. However, ths expense of removing landslides, high operating costs and interest on the investment may require 100 years before the entire debt charged to the canal is wiped out. Already the canal is showing signs of soon becoming inadequate to meet the demands upon it by wodd shipping, and plans arc being made for a second canal through Nicaragua which granted the I'. S. rights X a route several years ago. Jimmy Cox, former governor of Ohio and 'the democratic nominee tor president in 1920 is a newspaper pub Usher of considerable reputation. He believes that the continued “playing up’’ of the smashes on the stock market is having a bad effect upon business and has ordered the managers of his papers to cease using such stories on the trout pages.
