The city fire department made fifty-two runs the past year, an average of one per week. They must have done very good work for the entire loss was less than SIO,OOO. That the office of President of tne United Slates is a inan-kiiier is evidenced by the fact that we haven't a single one living, but there are six widows of presidents alive. Even if times .would permit, a fellow would be foolish to spend a lot of money to go to California, Texas or Florida it the weatherman is as kind as he has been the past couple of weeks. , Baldwin Corson, old time subscriber to this paper says he wants it as long as he lives and one by his side when he is gone. He has. been our loyal friend and one of the best citizens in the county and I deserving of whatever he wishes, ■ The late President Coolidge had one excellent rule. When he had ' a job to do he tried to find the ( man whom he thought could do it best, turned it over to him and then let him do it. That's one that will work for every one and in almost any path of life. Hie state highway commission is to be abolished but another one will take its place, composed of three all-time members who will be on the job and be held responsible.■ That should prove an improvement. Similar changes are to be made in the public service commission and other state boards, saving money in more ways than one and giving better service to the public. It is somewhat startling lo get the information direct from Washington that 33 cents out of each dollar of our federal taxes, goes to pay interest and principal of the war debt and 43 cents out of each such dollar is used for national defense. If we can dispose of those two items, we won't need to worry about income, sales or other federal taxes. The First Stale Bank shows a continued fine condition that merits the confidence ot the public. With $139,000 of cash and nearly $200,000 of bonds and securities, this institution is as strong as any concern in the country, in comparison as I to size. The total resources arc' more than $900,000 and the report just publishes entitles the First Slate to the support of the people of the entire community. It is claimed that the average person attends the movies fifty times a year, which looks a little big to those who only drop in occasionally and means that a lot of THE ADAMS - SUNDAY to WED. - Sunday Matinee lOc2bc Sunday evening 10c-3bc MARIE BRESSLER anti POLLY MORAN in ‘ ‘ PROSPERITY ’ ’ with Anita Page and Norman Foster.

> folks must attend pretty regularly, t The show that far outdistanced all ' others for attendance was as you l might easily guess, “The Birth of i[ a Nation”, which showed gross profits of $18,00,000. In Texas they have organized ■ several hundred thousand people i who have agreed to buy and sell i only within that state, which is perhaps a very wise thing under preesnt conditions, but may make it a little tough some day when the picture has changed, the depression is over and every one out for his. Os course right now the danger ot such an arrangement is that some oue will come along from outside with prices that can't be met at home and then the organization will blow up. In a little cemetery at Plymouth, Vermont, this afternoon, were plac-1 i ed the remains of Calvin Coolidge. | former President of the United I States, whose sudden death shockled this nation. His body lies be- '■ side that of his father who died 1 recently and the place will become I a shrine for those who visit that section of the country. The sympathies of all go out to Mrs. Coolidge, who though honored more than the average person, has had her share of sorrow and grief. Governor Leslie in his message jto the legislature said that the ' state was in excellent condition with $17,000,000 on hands. That I i was somewhat misleading for the h most of that money is for specific purposes that cannot be used otheri wise. The balance actually on ■ hand and that can be used is about $3,000,000 and unless some means of raising more money is provided, there will be a deficit of two to three million dollars by the end of the year. There is no use to try to fool any one about the matter. Whatever the condition is, it is 1 ! and misleading statements will get no where. 4 1 * Household Scrapbook —By— I ROBERTA LEE I Old Putty When removing old putty, pass a hot soldering iron or red-hot poker over it.

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS

I When Jesus had been baptized by John the Baptist at the ford of the River Jordan, He retired into the wilderness of Judea not far away that he might spend a time in fasting and prayer in preparation for the great task which confronted him. The spot was the desolate strip between the highlands of Judaea and the Dead Sea, rough and precipitous and filled with caverns in which to hide.

the membership dropped below 500 and it should be possible to l secure a hundred more members.) The work of the local chapter) in conjunction with the national Red Cross has saved this township and county thousands of dollars. It is estimated by Mr. Wemhoff that SIO,OOO worth of flour and clothing and other merchandise has been distributed in Adams county. This includes another car of flour. 300 barrels, due to arrive about the middle of this month. Join the Red Cross and do your share towards caring for the needy in this time of need. Memberships are but one dollar. Hand that amount to Miss Winnes at once so the local chapter can continue its good record. o ♦— — ♦ | Test Your Knowledge i , Can you answer seven of these ' test question?

So for forty days Jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness while Satan tempted him. For the first temptation, Satan urged Jesus to work a miracle by turning into bread the stones which lay about him. “Man shall not live by bread alone," Jesus answered. For the second temptation, Satan carried Jesus to Jerusalem and placed him on the pinacle of the temple urging him to cast himself down.

Unable to tempt Jesus in this fashion, Satan tried a third time. He took him to the kingdom of the earth, proming him all for his fealty. "Begone, - Jesus answered. "The Lord only should be adored.” So Satan departed, defeated, and Jesus was ministered by angels, who broug him food and drink that he might recover from his long abstinence and fast.
