Those who desire sunburn can receive a bountiful supply most any day they wish to spend an ■ hour or two but where the sun I shines. There is such a reduction in births the past few years that the statisticians point with alarm to the population when the next census is taken. The young men and women who graduated this year may feel they are starting out in a bad time, but we assure them they are much bet- p ter off than those who started the , climb four years ago. — The bank bandits continue their wild game and almost every day, succeed in getting away with a large amount of cash. The proposed radio police system may tend to check it and if it does, will be worth a good many times its cost. The word tax, we are informed come from the Latin word "taxire'' meaning to touch sharply, which is most certainly the right derivation for a word that has switched every one the past several hundred years. Every one we have heard express themselves, favor the federal improvement of the Wabash river through this county. It would solve the unemployment proposition and bring prosperity back with a rush. Those who are urging this will have the united support of Adams county citizens. We can all afford to pay a cent more for a loaf of bread if that solves the problem of how to get better wheat prices and how to put more men to work. It's easier to pay eleven cents for a loaf if you have it than to be able to buy it for a dime if you can't dig up the ten "cents. No one knows how well he is< going to like the new deal in business hut most of us feel sure it can't be as groat a failure as was the old plan. After all there are 120,1)00,000 people in this country to be considered and most of them belonged to the “forgotten man" class the past few years. Those who have visited the Century of Progress exhibited in Chicago declare it the biggest show for the money ever put on an<i those who haven't been there are getting envious of those who tell If you need money for any worthy purpose, do not hesitate to consult us. Let us explain—no obligation—how you may borrow from us at a moderate interest cost and do away with those financial worries. If inconvenient to call at office—call, phone or write us.

them they ought to see this or that, it doesn't close until November Ist, ao there la still a chance for a lucky break. To provide work for more men, the state highway department is using double the number previously Intended, on live-hour shifts instead of eight iiours and this system ia in vogue on the improvement on No. 27 north from here. Gradually the unemployment problem is being solved by tho cooperation of the city, county, state and nation. Dog days will soon be over and then when the cooler breezes of autumn come blowing around, when the grain has been harvested and the fodders' in the shock, when the wheels ate spinning around and every one is employed and earning a livelihood, then happy dgys will really be here and we can enjoy a real old fashioned celebra-

tion. The state banking commission I is assuming control of all closed (state banks and will supervise the ( liquidation of them, guaranteeing 1 tho lowest expense and the speediest settlements possible. • Under the new law, it is now possible for the state authorities to exercise their best judgment. They will of course keep constantly in mind, the best proceedure for the good of every one Interested. Eor the first time in many years 1 the Indiana state board of tax com- | missioners has passed approval on I property assessments in the state . as they were certified by the boards lof review. No necessity has been | found for order to increase assess- , I inents, a step that became very | distasteful to the peoples of the I state, especially the farmers. This new situation has been brought about by a closer cooperation between the appraisers and the state ; tax board, according to the chairman of the board. It is unfortunate that such cooperation was not artiVoi afasome years ago, for the horizontal increase policy of the state board in years past has created strained relations between the people and their state government. Apparently, harmonious relations exist between state officials and local officials. The public reaps the benefit from that situation as shown by this latest development. 0 Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.
