Its getting warm and if we wait too long, the bugs may bother. The weather man is growing more unpopular each day and if he don't shut off the water flow for a week or two. he will be entirely in disfavor. It's becoming serious. Every one we have talked to favors the installation of a heating plant here and it would certainly prove a wonderful improvement. And besides it would provide employment for a lot of men during the next few months. “I don't expect to make a hit every time 1 go to bat," said President Roosevelt. Os course he can’t, nor won't but its certainly encouraging to have a leader who is willing to keep on trying. So far he has l been doing some heavy work withl his bat and the fans are all for ‘ him. The wet and dry election on June 6th should be a fair expression of the voters of Adams county and that will be the intention and desire of the county organizations in whose charge the conduct of the election will be held. Vote your sentiments and let's get the age old question decided. Wages are increasing, according; •c news from all over the land and , .that's certainly cheering. It seems jmpossible that such a change has Jome in such a short period of time. Two months ago every one -was discouraged and hopeless. -Now the people are learning to •emile again and each day brings •cheery news of brighter days. Those Buck ooyg who are mixed up in the kidnaping of Peggy McMath seem to be somewhat flabergasted at what they have stirred up. They should have done a little serious thinking before they attempted such a deed and there should be no sob-sister stuff in meting out proper punishment to them. A fine spirit of helpfulness was that displayed by the Cloverleaf Creameries in donating from the wages of the employes, the sum of $204 for use of the needy, it was distributed by United Charities and did much towards relieving suffering in this community the past five months. It is ualy appreciated by

those who received the benefits and those who were in charge of the big job of seeing that suffering was prevented here. Harry W. Thompson has many accomplishments and ability as he has frequently demonstrated in one way or another, but in none has he proven more successful than in his writing of verses and poems, many of which have already attracted attention over a wide territory. His readings last night struck a popular chord and we predict his services will be in great demand I from now on. Cal Purmort, live wire citizen of Van Wert, Ohio, is the new president of the Benjamin Franklin Highway Association, assuring activities that will make that one of the well known routes, east and west, through the country. Urged by Mr. Connors, retiring president, they will make every effort to have the road marked the same number through each state, as is true of the National Road, No. 40, and Lincoln Highway, No. 30. It migh be wise for the President to speak oftener. Each time he has carried his message to them, the response has increased confi dence in his efforts and that comes from the millionaire, the manufacturer, the farmer, the laborer and every one else. That he is going to town with his plans is signified by the fact that every where now there is an attitude of better wages and more men. A bill now on its way through congress prohibits the Reconstruction Finance Corporation from making or renewing loans to business concerns that pay any of their officials a salary of more than $17,500 a year. This measure ' would have a far reaching effect, ' but it would meet with general approval. It has been irritating to have the government advancing loato iccforporations in order “to ' save them from bankruptcy,” when the high officials of those concerns were receiving salaries ranging from $50,000 to $150,000, and their former employees were idle and suffering for the necessaries of life. It didn't look just right. That money belonged to the public, and the public's children were hungry. This is not the time to pass the I hat in order that someone, already on easy street, may retain intact his SIOO,OOO salary. Maintaining fancy salaries, in a time like tins present, is one form of inflation i chat can well be dispensed with. o — * * Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test question?

CONFISCATION OF FUNDS MADE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ist party polled 7,109,69)) votes The party membership is estimated at 1,090,000 and the membership of the reichs banner at 250,000. The funds of the organizations were collected, however, when they were much stronger. The confication followed a long muck-raking campaign which was expected to bring the hearty support of the working classes for the governments action. The campaign accused the leaders and of-, ficials of the party, its unions, and banks, of squandering the money of the wonting people. It established motivation for confiscation which was to save the workers' funds from further squandering.

MUST PURCHASE STORE LICENSE Licenses Must Be Purchased Whenever Merchandise Is Sold Attention of field service agents $n the gross income tax and store license fee division has been called to the fact that whenever merchandise is offered so rsale. a store license is necessary. Clarence A. Jackson, director of the division, has announced. Jacikson) said he had notified agents that many reports have been received to the effect that markets or bazaars are being operated by churches, fraternal organizations and other similar groups, without a store license. Agents have been instructed to see that the law is observed at every place where merchandise is sold, regardless of how the merchandise is obtained or for what purpose it is sold. Some merchants have called attention to what they term “unfair competition'’ resulting from activities of charitable and other organizations conducting markets without a store license. Jackson pointed out that "churches, fraternal orginizations and any other organizations that rent vacant rooms and display and offer for sale baked goods, fruits, vegetables, poultry, bulk food or way other merchandise create at the time of s uch display and sale, liability for store license the same as any established merchant." Only exemptions are in the case of an organization confining its activities to the offering for sale and serving of food and lodges, fraternal oganizations and so forth that
