i ■ duty of cleaning up and cleaning otit. Get the yards ready, the home cleaned, call in the painter and the paper hanger, employ the help you need to make the job easier for you and tetter for every one else. Keep the dollars circulating, That’s best for every one. U'e want the lioys and girls to have all the fun they can with their itdler skates and bicycles, but they slunild be careful when and where and how they engage in these sports. If they do that we are sure every one will be in favor of them -• having every privilege that can be given them. Joseph France, of Maryland, is an avowed wet candidate for the republican nomination for president in 1932, which means something, for he is a man of some ability, having served as a United States senator and otherwise held places of honor and distinction. However, its a 100 to one shot that he won t get to first base. Mayor Cermak of Chicago starts with the opportunity to make himself famous and if he cleans up Chicago, restores her credit and continues to improve that great town, he will he given much credit. If he listens to the splendid men selected as his cabinet he should — come through with colors flying. ~ The Adams County Child Health — and Proection Council with Dr. i Fred I. Patterson as president and —a cabinet composed of leading men ' and women from over the county i “ should and will prove a valuable 2' organization with a great purpose 27 in view and the ability to carry outi i* plan that will produce splendid j results. It has taken Fort Wayne thirty years to get the elevated railway program through to the point where it looks like a reality. Well, they couldn’t have picked a tetter year to do it. The work will prove acceptable to a thousand or two laboring men and will prove a big aM in the general problem of res+ering properity. Hartford City is trying to imitate Chicago, it seems.

|ury of the school board iu that wily Is empty and the school inarms were called in and told they will have to wait until a draw is made from the general fund so the checks can be issued. Os course they are waiting and with good grace but its tough just the same. Not so long ago according to statistics, half the babies horn, died during the first year. Science has beateu that game and more. Life has been extended until the average is now titty-eight as compared to forty as in the old days. And this will continue to increase as we improve living conditions and learn more about diseases and germs and life. There was no lack of interest in the various meetings held during the Child Health conference here iast week and now comes the work of carrying out all the good ideas suggested. It is agreed that too much attention lannot be given the children by parents, by teachers and by’ all others interested in their welfare and we should each assist by aiding the organization formed to carry out the plans.

The average fellow is growling and grumbling about times more than he is sticking out his chin and trying a little harder. We have gone through a decade when business was comparatively easy to get and to handle. Now we are I going into a new era when the man who thinks clearest and works hardest will be the winner. Get hold of yourself and you will be surprised at how much pleasure you can have whipping the pessimist and his ideas. Most men who succeed in life begin poor, but occasionally we learn of those who advance to positions where they are helpful to society in spite of the fact that they are born to wealth. Such a man was the late Nicholas Longworth, who though he could have devoted his life to travel, in idleness and in fast living, gave himself to serve his country and succeeded even against those odds. How many would stand the worries and the rebuffs necessary to win as did this man when they could snap their fingers at the world and tell every one to go hang? In the story of Longworth’s life is a new and interesting phase of Americanism.

Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "I wrote you on the 7th relative to this shipment.” The ad'erb “relatively ’is required to modify the verb ‘ wrote” “Your letter relative to the shipment" is correct. Often mispronounced: Cereal, i Pronounce se-re-al, first e as in [“see” not “sir”. Often misspelled: Tonsillitis; two ■l’B. I Synonyms: Dictatorial, dominjeering, autocratic, peremptory, dogmatic, overbearing. Word study: “Use a word three times and it is yours." Let us InIcrease our vocabulary by mastering ■one word each day. Today’s word: Lucidity; quality or state of being easily understood. “With all his lucidity of statement, Hamilton was '.always concise." —H. C. laidge.

The till was reported out of committee for indefinite postponement and appeared about to die until the present uprising. Last niglff. however, members of the sifting committee of the house of representatives held an informal conference to discuss the possibility of bringing the bill back on the floor of the legislature. Governor Turner disclaimed responsibility for the committee meeting, word received here said, and members of the committee admitted there was not a committee quorum present so no formal action was taken. Cedar county has been the center of activities in a move to resist the cattle testing law’ for the last two mouths. After organization meetings a network of communication reminiscent of revolutionary war days was set up. A farmer was named on each rural party line as a sub-commit tee njember. when word was received tliat state authorities planned to test cattle in Cedar county each of the sub-committee mem
