The corn show is on and ts good. You will enjoy it if you drop into the court house corridor between now and Saturday. Adams ecunty is a-great corn county and we all depend much upon that crop and its market value, which ought to be efficient to interest all of us. Politics will start warming up soon-after the first of the year and in the meantime the democrats of Adams county ought to raise a fund siiMgji nt to pay what they owe, take tcare of the Victory fund and have few dollars left. That would be like and wise. The murder trial cost something over $1,700 which is about half the average guess and as low as a case of that importance has ever cost that Ave know of, showing that - - y ?1 . ■Si TH IHEa.

every care was taken to make a necessary expense as low as it j could be made. ( Don't forget that about the first thing to do to make Christmas a .' success is to help the Good Felt lows club. A few hundred dollars i in their hands will go far towards 2 making the day a happy one for 0 | every one in the community. You 0 I 5 will have your day, so try to help 0 every one else be just as happy. — o - 0 The various townships of Adams I county have a credit for road ! building next year but with the j state tax board in charge of the j final say so, it is doubtful if much i improvement of that kind is made. | That opinion is based on their ac|tions the past few months. Wheth|er its wise to cut off all work of ! this kind is doubtful for we should 'remember that in this line many ' are employed during the year. Its ' worth your serious thought. —— ■' 1 — The administration proposes to raise a billion dollars in new taxes, a cure for the depression that seems to us rather peculiar. Down ' in Washington they don’t seem to 1 know that people are actually having a difficult time keeping a roof |over their heads and bread on the | table. The budget proposes>hows ■ an increase of millions of dollars ' I ’ at a time when every one else is forced to economize and then to cover this they propose a tax that will effect every one, rich and poor, in the land. We doubt if the congress will pass such a law for we I are close to an important election I and it takes more than the prediction of good times to make the I people optimistic. Immediately at- , ter the President's message was , read, the prices of stock and pro- ! ducts went off considerably. Thats ■ the answer. Hawthorne's only son, Julian, is now eighty-five years old and has no other income except what he can earn daily with his'pen But thousands of his father's books are being sold every year and the publishers nrb taking profits from the sales without giving a penny in ' royalty to the great romancer's i next of kin. If a man can hand real estate and stocks down to his | children and his children's chil- ! dren. why shouldn't an author be ‘ similarly privileged to bequeath to * his descendants any potential roy-| alties that may accrue from what he created out of his imagination? i 'He should; but the radio trust last j , year fought the Vestal Copyright I I Bill, and intends to do it again—on the ground that its passage ■ would wreck the present system ' of private profits for commercial | radio broadcasters! — Washington | j Circus. o ♦ : •— ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. > — : I—4 1. 2.
