Inc. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago <ls Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Its a real fair from every standpoint and even the mixture of weatJier has failed to make any one admit any thing else. live stock exhibit here this is hard to beat and a stranger told us with enthusiasm that it was the finest he has seen in fifteen years. We have it in Adams county. The banks in Philadelphia have so much money- they are refusing deposits or limiting them which is a somewhat different story than some of those that have gone over the wires the past year or two. The crowds at the fair, especially in the evenings is record-breaking and every one appears happy. After all this is a real community and keeps up an average prosperity about as well as any where in the world. Gandhi says the trouble with the world is that the United States has all the money and won't let go of it. Well, perhaps some few in this country have it but the average citizen thinks that the gold is being horded in India or some other foreign nation. Reports from the state board of accountants who recently audited the books of the various officials here, are that every thing is perfect. well kept and every thing satisfactory. That's something we can all boast about for its a guarantee that every officer is keeping faith with the public. The flower show has created a lot of Interest and it is safe to say that this will be reflected in the gardens and yards here and over the county next year. One great adtantage about continuing fairs and exhibits is that it causes many to become interested from year to and this always helps the c immunity. Our congratulations to Lawrence Archbold and-his committee for the agricultural show- in connulion with the fair. It has been very wonderful and we are sure it bus cemented a splendid feeling between farmers and those in ' charge of the fair. Every effort to belair and appreciative and helpful has been made and we have heard onTJ’ praises for every department. U is hoped that the plan suggested by Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric Company to solve the hard times problem forever by regulating production through agreement of manufacturers whereby work would be con tlnuous and not spasmodic, will be worked out and adopted by every one. His plan sounds logical and coming from this giant of the business world should have an excellent effect. ■ i BUY AUTO INSURANTE ON MONTHLY BUDGET PLAN. No Policy Fee.

Advertisements giving plans for the big Dairy Day to be held here Wednesday, October 14th are now going over the country and in the , meantime tlie plans are being worked out so that the day will be all that it should be. Important an- ■ nouncements will come next week. There is nothing better for Adams I county than dairying and this day 1 will be for the purpose of impressi ing every one with that fact. Be ' a dairy day booster. Let's drive the blues away. — The structure of state and local government might be likened to a house to which room after room has been added, with little thought of the original investment and only brief consideration of the necessary upkeep. The governmental structure also was built upon the original foundation of isolation, poor transportation facilities and the necessity for communities to solve their own problems. Some counties and townships were in existence when the Constitution was framed, and when Indiana was admitted in 1816 there were fifteen counties, Wayne being the farthest north. Newton was the ninetysecond county, organized in 1859. The townships grew until there are now 1,017, each with a justice of the peace, township trustee, constable and township advisory board of three members. The Constitution says that “no county shall be reduced to an area less than 400 square miles; nor shall any county under that area be further reduced." In a speech at Goshen, Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, declared from his years of experience in ex- - amining county and township officials' accounts, that the number of townships could be reduced by half, and that some counties ought to be combined. We are not going to get away from the mounting cost of government until the problem is viewed in the light of present day needs and opportunities. While we cling to a system evolved when the state was new and when every condition of government differed from that of today, we shall continue to Stay more than we should and have [I a less efficient system of government than if regional prejudices were forgotten.—lndianapolis News. o — * ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the , test questions printed on page two — • 1.
