Be careful of the roads. Don't haul heavy loads oil them when the bottom is out. if you do it may take thousands of dollars to repaire the damages. It won't be long now until Groundhog day and then you know its only six weeks until we can go out and gather a few ''johnny-jump ups.” Usually we don't like to see n cold wave come but the one due now will be welcomed if it checks tlie floods which have reached an alarming stage in many parts of the middle west. They have decided to ventilate _ a lot of the old school houses aud continue to use them and while at it they might to advantage "ven- , tilate” some of those who have misplaced the funds. It is probable that no such Hoods as those of the past week or two . have ever occurred in Indiana during the month of January. The stage is now almost up to the record in the spring of 1913 and unless there is a quick let-up the danger is grave. Adams county s seventy-four pieces of property on the delinquent tax list which is probably as good a record as can be found in the state though it is considerably more than usual here.

Be careful, when you approach a school zone. The trustees of Adams county are trying to avoid serious accidents such as have occurred in other nearby counties and arrests will be made unless the orders are strictly observed. The meningitis epidemic in In dianapolis seems to lie under control as no new cases have been reported for several days. However ft has spread to other parts of the state and occasional cases are reported. Every one should continue to be as careful as possible and to remember that the check in Indianapolis was due, it is believed, to the salt water gargle which every one used for a couple of weeks The state aid school fund is a million short and the general fund is so low that several million must be borrowed, whose fault i-t it? Doesn't it belong to those who have had charge of affairs the past several years? The truth is that there lias been a lot of juggling of public funds and rights for some time and the folks ought to awaken to the fact. Perhaps they will some day. Your special attention is called to the fact that the meetings in seven of the Protestant churches of Decatur will continue throughout tliis week. Each evening a message will be given at each church that will be worth your while. Surely we can afford a few evenings at this time to consider tlie greatest question in our lives and surely we owe something to the churches which have done so much for civilization and for every human being in the world.

Luckily the cases are not severe but the trouble with an epidemic of this kind is that the disease may effect some whose system is more acceptable than others.

He was one of a party which was carrying a $35,000 payroll to a Newport mountain mine when their engine and car was destroyed by a charge of dyna mite which killed four of the party and severely injured the other one. Sookil was dazed but as he awoka he eaw a man crawling towards the spot where the money chest laid. Unarmed the miner cried hands up and the muderous bandit tied and the money was safe.
