I That’s right and we are all trying 1 to do it but some times it seems 1 unnecessarily hard. c 1 Just what the special session of s the legislature will do, no one • knows, hut it is safe to say that s there will have to be some primt ing of budgets this vear to get hv e on the tax rate and the new ap- € nraisinent. We might as well make c up our minds along that line. The” county board of review is I now su session and if you have any complaints to offer as to the assess- ( meiits or appraisals, go to them during the several weeks thev will ti s< rve under the law. That's the r i n’y way to secure relief and if you t sleep on the job it.s your fault. Republicans are headed for In 1 dianapolis today to attend the state convention which opens there to < morrow and will continue until Thursday evening. ''Yhe Adams county delegates are always import- 1 ent because of the fact thev vote I first on the roll call and every candidate wants the good start. The Republican conventions, state * find national are' going to adopt a 1 wet. plank, that is they will stand 1 lor resubmission of the liquor ques- ' lion to the people. That will mean ! an exciting campaign at least, with 1 results considerably in doubt and ’ just what the radicals -on each 1 ride think of it, will be interesting. * The county commissioners deIV. credit for insisting upon and securing an agreement from the State I livestock Sanitary Board, an agreement by local veterinarians and assistants. This will keep the money at home and since the work i ' mandatory under the law, was ’ ,the wise thing to arrange for local people to perform it Free flour will be distributed to the needy here within a few days now, word having been received that it is being ground at Fort Wayne and will be sent here soon, probab y by next week. It will be stored in the old People's Trust and Saving building and will be in charge of the Red Cross and Trustee Noll.

It Is, we are glad that the folks here may take advantage of the opportunities thus presented through the efforts of Mr. Wai Wenihoff and his aides. The "bonus expeditionary force" which has settled down in Washington has the same right there as any of the other lobbies, it is not adding to the comfort of congress < r facilitating the work of that body, but it has its rights and its merits. Chief among the latter is the fact that, to a greater degree than most of the lobbies now engaged in trying to get something from an almost bankrupt government. it has paid its own way. Most of the other lobbyists there are on salary. The National Conference of Street and Highway Safety has found that at least one motor accident out of six is caused by defective mechanism in the ear itself. This evil has been growing worse lately, because cars are operated so much longer than usual and are not kept up so well. There are millions of autos on the road that can barely rattle along and hang together. There is no desire in auy quarter to impose hardship on the owners of these ears. It is a difficult time to buy new ones, and repairs usually cost money. Yet the sirious-risk to the traveling public, to pedestrians and to owners themselves must be recognized. At whatever cost, great numbers of these old wrecks should be scrapped and greater pains should be taken to keep the rest in dependable condition. Big business is said to be planning a concerted attack on Old Man Depression, to begin about the first of July. Industries spoken of as especially interested in the movement are steel, motors, oil and rubber, the great automotive quar let. Whether any such plan has been formed or not, it would doubtless be an excellent thing. Isolated and sporadic efforts to stem the downward trend of prices and production have failed so far. perhaps because they were not only unsupported but premature. Now. with cemmodidty and security prices both so low that it would be impossible to fall much farther, there is good reason to expect an upturn of some degree before long. Normally no upturn would come before fall. It may be possible, in tins peculiar situation, to hasten it a little. If conditions are so near ripe as they appear to be. an attack all along the line might regain a lot of ground. It would be a good way to celebrate the Fourth of duly. o * Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the | Test Questions Printed j on Page Two. ♦ ♦ 1. Laura Lou Brookman.. 2.
