If you j can t give that much, give what t you can. It will be appreciated. i Adams county schools are as j good as there are in the state and j thats what the inspectors from the state superintendent office de-' dares. We are proud cf them and hope they continue to measure up to the high standards already fixed in this locality. The bandits are getting into the cities new instead of fooling around with the little country banks. Yesterday they held up the Interstate National Hank in Kansas City and secured sixty thousand dollars. Looks as though the banks would have to add the overhead of a militia. The senate has appropriated $lli)J)i)0.000 for the unemployed, now it only remains for those out of a job to get their share. That’s easier said than done for rest assured that while you are trying to gu yours you can come nearer earning a living and keeping the wolf away by going out after, a job, hunting until you find one and th n sticking to it like glue. T 11& Good Fellows club is coming along and prospects are much bitter f r the poor boys and girls. Santa is coming. Won't you help complete the job. The total is about one-third what the ladies in | charge hope to make it and the more they get, the more people make happy two weeks front today. Those who have received checks for their Christmas savings are happy now and are the best boosters for the new classes new starting in each of the three local banks. Save a little each week. Its surprising how that grows in a year and how comfortable it makes you when the next holiday season arrives. This week is just the right time to start. Don't put it i ff. You may call those who are blaming the Gary episode on ' spineless officials” hut after all isn’t it rather a joke when moth-

ers say they can't keep their daughters and sons at home all the time and if they go any where, liquor Is served In violation of the law? And who is to blame? Os course the officers are, but so are the mothers and fathers who indulge and so are the young people who take part in the disgraceful affairs. It will take a general pulling together of these people who tall themselves respectable. If we add a sales, income,* poll, vehicle anil corporation tax, it may relieve us on property valuations I but its going to take just about as much figuring to make ends meet. After all we have to pay the bill one way or another and so long as we desire to improve roads, schools, bridges and public properties we are going to have to pay heavy taxes one way or another. It is to be hoped the new method as worked out distributes the burden a little better than the old. After all that’s about al Ithat can be ' done. i The recent census fixes the con- ■ gressional rehpportioninent of Indiana at twelve instead of thirteen ,as at present. It is now up to the 1 legislature to study their geography. If the republican state senate will not listen to reason, then they can be elected at large. This would be a good way for the democrats to carry the state and send a complete delegation to Washington. The recent election demonstrated what a militant democracy can do when it is aroused. Probably the four remaining republican congressmen from Indii ana. would not like to take their chances over the whole state. The annual message sent to congress by the president reports the slate of the union as bad. The unemployment amounts to around five million. This is double the number unemployed fixed by the census taken last April. The government should work fast on public buildings, highways and construction on rivers and harbors. The states can have federal-aid money for highways but will have tc speed up preliminaries of plans, specifications and details necessary to obtain this federal-aid. Knowing how slowly government agencies operate, local communities should be busy looking after these who now, or soon will be, without 1 food, clothing and shelter. — 11 — A short time ago a young man living in Sidney, Austrlia, talked to his mother, who was a patient a a Methodist hospital at Indiant polis. Away over at Sidney it was today but in Indianapolis it was yesterday. That is to say. Sidney which is 15.000 miles around the earth, was one day ahead of Indianapolis. The father could scarcely believe his ears when he heard his own son talking to him from the other side of the world. It is said that the conversation came in perfectly distinct ‘‘clear as a bell,” the father said. There is 16 hours difference between Indianapolis and Sidney which accounts for the fact that the today !in Sidney is yesterday in Indiana, j Part of the talking was done by • j wireless, of course. — Columbia I City Post.

The president reports the pcssibility of a deficit in the treasury. Tlie budget committee for the coming year fixes a budget at over four billions of dollars. The taxes are being reduced by the falling of imports and the shrinkage of inc: me and corporation taxes. Profits I of tax-paying units and individuals are low. When business is bad the government loses. The reduction in the rate on incomes, adopt- ' d at the last congress, will probably be discontinued, and the rate i will go back to the fermer increased ‘rate. About the only way t,o avoid a deficit is for business to revive. We can cease to make the i usual payments on the national 'debt. There is a tendency to enI large the expenditures rather than

The program to help, unemployment will call for additional appropraitions. o » 4 BIG FEATURES OF RADIO 1 4 4 Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1930 by United Prer-s ; Central standard time throughout j WJZ (NBC network) 7 ;00 p. m.— Aunt Lulu’s Adventures.

elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
