Mother’s day is over but that's pc reason why we can't keep* right i r,n observing it, making each day a little easier for she whom we all love. After all that would be the best wav to really show that we do. i Some wise professor announces w that eighty-five per cent of the ; mathematical courses in the schools i cfflflfl be eliminated without injury «. to the average student, to which | T about ninety-five per cent of the i “ pupils will agree with enthusiasm. | .. . « • The Legionnaires of the new , , fourth district and the old eighth , “ will hold a reunion here on Sunday. |j * June sth and Norbert Holthouse!, v has been named general chairman:.

Mr. IfcAdoo led the fight for Garner in California and by a strange turn of the political wheel he and the Al Smith crowd went down the line against Roosevelt. Seine times its hard to figure out but some one long ago remarked that "politics makes strange bed fellows" and we have come to believe that. Tlie prices for beer and whiskey have been increased in Chicago (since Al Capone is out of the way. another reason that may be assigned for his immediate release from Atlanta prison. Just who is laws np there has not been made public hut if he can keep it going as the big shot did he is smart enough to succeed In most any line. We await results. The back to the farm movement is said to be the greatest ever known in the middle west. Thousands of men who went to the cities :to seek a fortune have now turned to agricultural pursuits where a living is assured. That Is noticeable here where a farm offered for rent is immediately in demand and applications as high as a hundred for one farm have been reported, | By the way its a good time to buy |an Adams county farm. The district meetings next Wednesday will attract attention of the politicians. The Democratic meetings it is expected will be of unusual interest because of the fight |that it being made against R. Earl I Peters, state chairman. Even now with the county chairmen named, it , seems impossible to tell exactly what the final results in that fight I v.-ill be.,. This districts Democrats 'will meet at Kendallville and several from this county will attend. —.J UL--The Democrats selected Dick I Heller to be county chairman and It he Republicans named Ralph Yag|er to the place, in each case there was a contest but likewise in each case there seemed to be a general good feeling even among those who took an interest on either side. The IL tupaisn this year promises to be rather intense and the jobs of leadi ership will probably not prove light [ones. The average citizen should take part in the campaign this year as never before for this matter of selecting officials is a serious one indeed with general conditions as they are. Mr. Heller has served .as county chairman before and succeeds Ed Bosse, recently nominated for prosecuting attorney. Mr. Yager succeeds Paul Graham who served as chairman the past six years. Mrs, Will Widdows of Geneva. was chosen as the Democratic vice-chairman and Mrs. Alvin Windmiller as vice-chairman for the Republicans. With the other officials as named the committees are ready now to plan for the conventions and then for the general election campaign which probably will open in September. Famous Police Body

They s represent Canadian authority among the native Eskimo.', and their record In the prevention of crime has established their fame throughout the world. o Grasshopper as toed Attractive as the grasshopper may be to fish, his poasibilltiee as an edible have never appealed to Americans. Yet John the Baptist fed on locusts and wild honey, with scriptural sanction. We have the testimony of the second chapter of Llviticus that this insect was an acceptable Item of diet among the ancient Hebrews. “Even these ye may eat; the locust after his kind •and the grasshopper after his kind" o Record Pigeon Flight The longest pigeon flight on reet>rd is 2.01 RH miles.
