( You tan help us make the paper | 1 more Interesting by calling 1,000 11 over the telephone and telling us ) * the news you are in a position to j 1 know about. It will only take a, 1 moment or two. Vegetables and fruits will be ( < scarcce this year and those who j put up what they tan, will be wise indeed. This is the time to pre-1 pare for next winter for indicationsj are that the next six months will j ( really bring some problems as to what to eat and how to get it. ( The annual report of the state j board of charities places the Adams I county infirmary and the county jail in the list of those in excellent j condition and weil operated. The j report gives much credit to those In authority here and makes us all, proud of them. The market Hop caused some of 1 the weaker stocks to start sliding j down rather rapidly hut if you w ill j' notice, those that are really earn- 1 ing profits, remained surprisingly ' firm. In other words, things are worth just what they are worth, no ; more, no less and all the faking!' in the world doesn't change them ’ ' after all. Plans are being made to have i Adams county send a large dele- i gallon to the Dairy Day at Hunt- 1 ington, August 21th. The event is ' sponsored by the Cloverleaf Dair- 1 ies, Inc., and in the past each time- i such a program was put on. Hunt- 1 ington has sent hundreds of people i to swell the- crowd and enjoy the ' occasion. This year s show will be worth attending and those who go, ' will be glad of it. The exact measurements of Mon-! roe street in this city, shown on a blue print, prepared and certified by Ralph Roop, professional engineer and county surveyor, has been forwarded to the state highway department, so that if all that is needed is a forty-foot right-of-way, they may act accordingly. It shows that this is at hand or obtainable. the entire length of that street, from the river to Thirteenth street. President Roosevelt is asking and urging every one to patriotically assist in his re-employment plan : and if that is done, it will be fine, j If you owe several bills which you would like to pay~we will furnish you the cash to square up those bills. You may repay us In terms to suit your convenience and you will only have one place to pay. You will find our service in such a transaction well worth the cost.

Os course if some try to take advantage because It is not being made compulsory, It may be necessary to take other st "V» and don't think the general In-chlef and bis first mate. General Hugh Johnson, haven't the courage to take them. It 1* to be hoped the ptxn Will work J -ritbout going U> the extreme, but | if necessary, the new deal will be : put through by force. It's up to u*. i When the county tax budget is J made up this year, expense for j next year'a election must be made j and this must include tbe cost of | registering the voters under the I new law. For several years this ] has not been necessary but beginning next year. It is. The registration is much better than the old I plan, however, for it is permanent and once your name is on the list it will remain there without any effort on your part unless you move or change your name. Then all you need to do, to be a legal voter, is to notify the county clerk. The policy of the new state administration in keeping the people of Indiana constantly informed on the cost of their state government is an effective departure from the former custom of giving the people little or no information of this character, it it- particularly effective when these reports show that the costs of government in Indiana are being reduced beyond all conception of what might have been estimated as a normal decrease in public expenditures. Figures compiled by the state board ol accounts, and therefore undeniably authentic, show that expenses of the state government during the first five months of the administration of Governor Paul V. McNutt were two million three hundred thousand dollars less than the costs during the same period of last year. Many statements from partisan origin have implied that governmental costs have been increased, but they cannot overcome the effectiveness of figures that are official und are taken from the records. Expenses in the state general fund have been cut more than a million dollars, the highway department has spent a million and a quarter less than was spent last year and there is a reduction of fourteen thousand dollars in the office of the fire marshall. Reduced salaries and the elimination of needless departments and jobs make up the greater part of this savings. The mle of the new administration is that there must be enough work that everybody on the state payroll be kept busy during the regular business hours of the statehouse. This not only has produced a reduction in the cost of government, but it also has developed a system of effic-iencv never known in years in state governmental circles. o CHURCH REVIVALS Tie revival meeting at Monroe over the Model Hatchery is continuing. The colored quartet from Marion failed to appear for Sundiy night's program. Rev. Carl VVilliams(will preach this week. Gospel Temple Tlie temple work is progressing.

Search continued for three men in a green sedan seen by neighbors near the John Hartman farm five miles south of Cook, where the trunk was found. Its discovery came when farmers were fighting the fire in the hay field set by the burning trunk. Efforts to trace ownership of tbe trunk had not been successful, nor had identity of the victim been | established through checking his fingerprints with police files in Chi- | cago. I

NO SOLUTION OF KIDNAPING Officers Fall to Find Clues To Clerk's 24-Hour Disappearance Rochester. lr.d„ July 24-—OJJS--Fulton county authorities Investigating the 24-hour disappearance of Jveith Dubois, l»year-ok) grocery clerk here, today indicated they had run against a blank wall. It was reported that Dubois had nearly recovered from 111 treatment suffered at the hands of alleged kidnapers. The youthful college student was found on a lonely road near here after being missing 24 hours. He had been beaten and drugged and told a story of ha ing been kidnaped by three men in an automobile. At one time he is said to have admitted fear of future violence if he revealed the identity of his abductors More recently, however. ] he maintains that he has no known enemies. GOOD RAINFALL OVER WEEK-END (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cable line. The afternoon shower and wind J was confined to a small area in thei north part of the city. South of j the Nickel Plate railroad tracks, only a few drops of rain fed in the j afternoon. A second shower fell about eight j o'clock. It rained at intervals during the night and early morning, | and the atmosphere cooled off eon-! siderably. Sunday morning the temperature climbed over the 100 mark and the heat was oppressive. It was one of the hottest days on record. By night the temperature dropped several degrees and a good breeze struck up. The rain was general over this section and farmers were grateful. Corn needed rain hadly and the beet crop was in dire need of it. j The* ground was parched and each | day saw the temperature mount higher, making conditions almost unbearable. It was three weeks ago Sunday that this community | had a heavy rain and previous to i that time conditions verged on a drought. Very little wind accompanied the rain which fell in Berne Sunday afternoon and night. Thr rainfall during the night was reported to be 1.1 inches. MARKETS TAKE UPTURN TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE) ♦♦♦.•••*•••••• Orleans dentist, mentioned as a trader whose terrific dealings were instrumental in last week's crash, was suspended from trading. Crawford, whose plunging operations on the wheat and cotton markets had been the most spectacular since the days of the famous wheat kiugs of three decades ago was suspended for insolvency. Opening prices on wheat futures ranged from % cent to 3 cents a bushel higher. Other grains followed the trend of wheat and w-ere quoted at prices slightly higher than the minimum allowed by the hoard of trade. The opening gong in the austere trading rooms of the world’s primary grain market was waited tensely. Traders were anxious to observe the workings of the market under the straight-jacket rules applied by directors.
