Most of us would even take chances on a thirteeh dollar bill if it was offered. The Junior baseball league, with six Adams county clubs, opened the season yesterday, a bunch of dandy youngsters out 'enjoying the great America nsport. Its a fine, healthy enterprise, deserving your support. Miss Ruth Alrich, 19, niece of ■John D. Rockefeller, Jr., disappeared and the police searched for .hours for her. It is quite probable that some young man disappeared the same time. This is a good time to paint. The • job will cost you less than for some “time and a fresh coat brightens up “a residence, garage or business " front so much that no one can af«ford to do otherwise. Let's get at -it and furnish employment for the - men and start business going. " According to speakers at the -state banker's convention the price of cotton is coming back, due perhaps to the fact a lot of folks pre.fer cotton to nothing. The days of , twelve dollar silk shirts and eight “dollar hose are gone for the mo“ment. The city of Chicago seems to be “having a little more than her share “of tlwoubles these days, but its a •'great old town and a mighty rich •one and some way it will all come I <»at. Remember they are going to ' try rtFT.old a world fair up there in i ..a cowpie of years and they just ’ must get down to business soon. «• “ It would appear that whatever •the question is concerning the pub- • licatjon of the acts of the legisla- • ture, it could have been settled ■a half dozen times if they would ■ work tit that instead of playing .politics. A precedent is being „established that will cause many “difficulties in the future. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel wants .to know why wool was selling !)(“, Boston at 66c and on the same day for 36c in London. We don't know. Neither do we know why it has been selling at 17c in Decatur and Fort Wayne. There are a It of things that the ordinary folks can't understand just at the present. Illinois legislators are closing their session with fisticuffs and battles that attract much attention. . For several days they have been „ cussing and discussing proposed measures fcr the relief of Chicago and of course that would percipitate some inteersting rounds. How foolish men are. Why can't they sit down and quietly and boberly

and with good judgment work out those plans best for every one? We give up. Why can't they? David Lawrence, a Washington political writer issues the predic- . tion that the Republican candidate ' for President next year will be Her- ■ bert Hoover and the Democrat will he Franklin Roosevelt and he might safely add without fear of losing 1 ' his prestige as prophet, that unless i things change considerably, Roosevelt will win by about the same majority that Hoover did in 1928. The Grand Army of the Republic in Indiana, once the most powerful organization for good in the state, has been reduced by time to a mere half a thousand. There are now only 102 posts in Indiana .with an average membership of four. Fourteen posts passed out of existence the past year. The annual encampment has just closed at Newcastle and Richmond was selected as the meeting place for 1932. F. M. McNair of Martinsville was elected state commander. For the first time in years, Adams county horsemen will have a day of their own, next Thursday, when a number of those interested will tour the county, closing the day with a big meeting at Monroe. J. D. Conner, Jr., of Wabash, will give the principal address. Mr. Conner is the secretary of the Belgium Breeder's Asociation of America and knows his horses. In the old days this was one of the greatest Counties in the middle west for the production of good horses ami i during the past year there has been evidences of a return at least to some degree of this very profitable and inteersting business. While here Mr. Conner will also discuss Benjamin Franklin highway of , which association he is president. This route is being designated, built and paved from Atlantic City to San Francisco and will soon be , one of the most popular routes in America. It follows highway 16 - through this county. i — — o ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS I Below are the answers to the < test questions printed on page two ♦ 4 ' 1. Jules Verne. 2.
