Keep the record in Adams county clean. The east is crowing over the fact that they are enjoying spring with a temperature of sixty to seventy while the rest of the country is shivering, but never mind, they always get theres. Don’t get much excited about congress or you will be exhausted for the present session promises to continue almost indefinitely. And it will get bigger and better all the time. Three inches of sleet have caused many thousand dollars of damage to the telephone, light and trolley lines over northern Indiana. In many counties it is worse than here and its bad enough in Ad ams county. if they decide to pay Babe Ruth 185,000 and he loses his swatting ability, they might stand him a! the front gates of the Polo grounds and make him shake hands with the crowd. That's what we do to make our presidents earn their $75,000. A judge down in Evansville lias adopted a plan of giving prisoners at the bar who are charged with Intoxication the privilege of lightening their sentences by telling where they got the dope. His first attempt failed, however, and he sent the two men up for ninety days. Only one on’ of sixty men who engage in bringing liquor from boats to tlie Atlantic coast is can---lured according to figures just given out by Federal officials. In other words fifty-nine jut of sixty , get away with it which explains why so many arc thus engaged. However there is a tightening up just now and indications are that the ratio will be largely reduced —this year. Mrs. John Nicholas Brown, worth several million dollars, is serving on a jury in the superior court at Newport, R. I. Though she was • offered the privilege of declining when her name was drawn she deelded to serve the two weeks for which she lias been ordered to serve in order to set a good example lo other women. The job pays three dollars a day but Mis. Brown says she won’t draw it.

- Hpi rial services now In full swing in seven of the churches of Decatur are all more than satis- ■ factpry according Io the pastors who are in charge. The various organizations over the city are cooperating by cither holding their meetings later or postponing them during the. two weeks of the services and each evening, though the weather has been quite inclement, the crowds have been large and there is a splendid interest manifest.

It 1 is, for there is no better mode of 1 thrift than to protect those we love and for whom we are responsible than by carrying life insurance and u people which does it is safe. We may play the races and the stock markets or bet on : elections but so long as we show a spirit of saving the nation will continue to thrive and prosper. - - ——*~— —— When we learn that more than ten million dollars of the war debt has already been paid off and that we are reducing the outstanding securities at the rate of about a billion a year, we begin to appreciate what a really great nation this is. The bonded debt is nowdown to $16,400,000,000 and with the interest charge annually less there are hopes that it may be wiped out in another decade. No similar record has ever been achieved or could be equalled in any other country. Many feel we have paid too rapidly but it should be remembered that the most of this great sum has been paid from profits and that the people have not felt it greatly, though of course they have paid it indirectly. The next generation should have it rather soft in comparison with those of the present day. Ex-Secretary Baker's speech in the Metropolitan opera house on Sunday greatly stirred fits vast audience. It was a fine illustration of the definition of eloquence as being logic set on fire with emotion. Yet in tlie case of Mr. Baker, it was not as much logic as it was act, history, the great sweep and movement of civilization during the past hundred years, the spirit of humanity and of true Americanism, the very travail of the soul of the world on the way to better things—all caught up and fused in his noble utterance. Besides being an orator, Newton Baker is a lawyer and a man of practical mind. He addressed himself particularly to the establishment and work of the International Tribunal , of.Justice.
