Less than three months until Christmas, which should remind you to keep up payments on your Christmas Savings club. Several of the retail stores will close at five-thirty in the evenings during the winter months, so do your shopping early. That fellow at Warsaw who had $1,025.29 in his pockets when arrested for drunkenness should at least be able to pay his fine. The grand jury is about ready to make its report, several criminal cases start this week, which all in all should make it a busy time in the Adams circuit court. Since the bonds have been approved no time should be lost in repairing Second street, getting the job done for the crowds on Dairy Day. You and your friends are invited to Decatur on Dairy Day, Wednesday, October 14. It's going to be a big entertainment and the recognition of one of the important industries in the community. That fleet of airplanes which flew over here Sunday at least gave us an idea what a bombing expedition might be* in case of war. It was a thrilling sight, but supposing they were dropping bombs from the sky. Lieut. Jimmy Doolittle covered 235 miles in 57 minutes last Saturday and we are inclined to believe that he never will be late for a train. It's a record and proof of the progress made in the manufacture of airplanes. With 38 billions in savings accounts in banks throughout the country it's hard to believe that this country is broke. A loosening of part of this money in the avenues of trade might help to start the wheels of industry. Decatur is back on standard time again, which is another way for saying that the fall season is just ..around the corner. The extra hour of sleep was enjoyed Sunday morn-

ling and now that it’s all over let’s get down to work. No less a personage than Gover- , nor Roosevelt of New York makes the following statement, "To be in- ,' formed one must read the newst papers.” The governor even suggested that an hour of the* day be 2 set aside for reading the daily ® papers. 0 5 . 3 This Dr. Clarence True Wilson J seems to dislike everyone and de- ) lights in calling everybody dirty names. Everybody can't act or think alike and it's the biased person who condemns the other for not thinking as he does. This is America, where we make so much over free speech and the principle of liberty for all. More than 2,500 children are attending the rural schools in this - county this year, making the total enrollment of all school children more than four thousand in the county. Modern schools and facilities, with approved courses of j study are offered the children of this community and as years roll 1 by all will appreciate the advantage of a good education. The township trustees in Wells 1 county have adopted a resolution. 1 similar to the one observed by the ' trustees in Adams county, that poor relief will be refused to any person who owns an automobile. The Wells county board also included dogs in its resolution, making it necessary for the person or persons to give away their bounds before they receive pay from the trustees. The big thing back of the Dairy Day program to be held here October 14, is the recognition of one of the principal industries in this community. In the last fifteen years the dairy industry has been developed to a point that places Adams county among the leading counties in the state in the production of dairy products. The bus- . iness means a cash market for farmers and dairymen and through its channels several hundred thousand dollars a year are released to those who provide the product. Right now farmers find the price for dairy products one of the most profitable of any product produced by them and this community offers a ready market for milk, cream and butterfat at all times. —o • # Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "I bought this off of a friend.” Say "from a friend.” Often mispronounced: Agile.

The Garbage Can The garbage can will last longer and be much easier to clean if a piece of pitch is placed in a new can and allowed to melt enough to cover the bottom of the can. A Child’s Appetite When a child is troubled with a poor appetite it is well to see that he does not drink too much milk at the beginning of a meal. Milk is an excellent food, but if he drinks too much of it, he wil not eat the other necessary foods. ——o AtCKIV'ALS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Helm. 419 N.

CO-ED STARTS FRIENDS' CLUB Columbus, p., Sept. 28. — (U.R) — As a means of obtaining funds with which to pay her tuition. Miss Mildred Barr. 23, coach at Ohio State University, has entered business on a peculiar scale. The young lady has established an “introduction bureau” for the benefit of company craving stu- | dents. It all happened In this manner: Not long ago there appeared in the advice column of a newspaper a letter by a girl, who expressed herself as anxious to find friends. Miss Barr read the communication and wrote to the conductress of the column, asking for the girl's name, saying that she wished to help her. Through a mistake, her letter appeared in the paper. As a result, she received letters from some 200 members of the friend-longing i clique. Thus was born the “Friends' j Club.” o i * PREBLE NEWS * 4 Mr. and Mrs. Orville Heller and ; Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Elzey attend- ; ed the Bluffton street fair Thursday.
