More people have the time to take a vacation this year but the trouble is they can t afford it. Perhaps if the Spanish people would appoint a committee and carefully investigate our republic they would not be so anxious to get into the business. Summer like prosperity seems to be trying to continue just around the corner. Looks like we ought to have something on time in this country pretty soon. Everybody is working bard at the ! job of trying to convince them-; selves that conditions are improv-! ing. We hope so but if it is the signs are still so dim that we are afraid to proclaim them very loud. Heading off Governor Roosevelt j of New York for the Democratic nomination for the presidency is net going to be an easy task unless I that gentleman pulls a few boners I in the next year which is not prob- i able. More than seven hundred federal buildings are under construction ever the United States at this time I but about the only tilting that can be said for it is that it furnishes something for us to watch. So far I as actually helping the unemploy-i ment situation it has been pretty much a floj The sale of an Adams county , farm for more than a hundred do! [ lars per acre net is the best sign | we have noticed in a long time that | property values are coming back. ; The price is still low and the pur chasers in a few years will have the opportunity to sell at a profit if they wish. Its the surest, safest and best investment you can make. Politics is beginning to buzz. Last week the govorsors did a little advertising at French Lick, next week Mr. Hoover will unload some propaganda at Indianapolis- and shortly afterwards several Democrats with ambitions to hold office wbUaddress the Democratic editors at Gary and from now on in this ami every state in the Union will be held various sessions with politics as the biggest reason. They are after Al Capone and the sooner they get him behind pris-

on bars the better it will be for the country. The officials should follow right up by placing a lot of his comrades in crime right along • side of him. The idea of permitting a lot of ’murderers, gangsters. ■ racketeers and all around no act counts to even attempt to control ■ this great country is disgusting and the present signs that the government really intends to break it up j is encouraging. . j Chicago is one of the greatest i cities in’ the world with an assessed J valuation of billions of dollars and | yet unless the legislature of Illinois tomes to their rescue there is grave danger of bankruptcy. That would he serious and we have faith in the [ citizens there to save it but it certainly gives an idea of the inefficiency on the part of some one in recent years. And Chicago is not the only city which is suffering from a lack of cash ail a result of mismanagement. President Hoover is coming to Indiana next week and he will of course be extended an old fashioned Hoosier welcome but if he can ex- i plain the ups and downs of his administration he will surprise every one in the United States including i | himself. If he will spend little time at that and more in telling how ' he proposes to work out of the i hole he is in economically, he will i play better politics than in any | other way we know of and if he I can't do it we are sure his senate I leader, Mr. Watson, can paint a rosy picture. We believe the people of Adams county will almost unanimously ap-| j prove the warding of contracts for I public work to local contractors i whenever possible and reasonable. llt is important at this time that this be done so that as many local [men as possible be furnished emI ployment. When contracts go outside the employes usually are brought- in and the home laborers; remain idle It is wise of course I |to save by awarding contracts to | low bidders but just now it is also I very important that we all ccooper- I | ate to provide work for the intern- j | ployed. Mr. Coolidge it is said is to soon [ quit the journalistic game, the; I novelty of the enterprise evidently I I having worn off both for him and I the syndicate which pays him four] | dollars a word. He has spoken [ some truths and far a time appoar- | ed to be taking a place in the sun I which would keep on the list but ; not every one can be a Bill Rogers , nd the game of writing front page [wisdom and continuing to sell it to tn ever critical publico is by no I means an easy one. It does not seem to be an easy path for the ex President and then too he I doesn't need the money, so why J wrack his brain each day? OBITUARY i Berneice Evelyn Smith, daughter! lof John W and Anna A. Oklevi Smith, was born May 4, 1929. at be . leatur, Indiana, and departed this | life May 31. 1931, at the age of 1 i two years and 27 days.

IMPS BEES IN HOME VACUUM Seattle, .—(UP) Vacuum cleaners may be indispensable for cleaning rugs, but (heir most valuable asset, in the opinion of M. D. Schuster, is the ability to capture swarms of bees. Mrs. Schuster returned homo after visiting a friend, and found her living room occupied by bees. They floated noisily about the room, covered the chairs and draperies, or angrily houtnped their heeds against the windows and ceiling. Mrs. Schuster never had much experience witli bees .so she slamm ed lhe door shut ami retired to the kitchen, where she devoted the afternoon to planning some means of attack Begins Vacuum Attack Whi n her husband returned home aitd found no meal awaiting him. and his living room full of bees, he went into action with the first tiling he could lay his hands on. It happened to be the vaccum cleaner. He advanced into the living room with the cleaner buzzing upside down. Perhaps the bees heard a familiar note in tliat humming sound For one Uy, one, and then in larger groups, they began flying toward the suction point. As they approached within a few inches, they were drawn into the mouth of the vacuum. and hurled into the bag. Soeu there were only a few remaining at large in the room, and Mrs. Schuster, her courage returned, attacked them with a fly swatter. Schuster took the vaccum into
