Uncle Sam is giving us a New Deal but that doesn't mean he can play every hand. We have to do our own thinking as before. Its going to be difficult to provide a means whereby the average persons yearnings will not exceed his earnings. That condition rarely exists. Al Smith has the boys wondering. He was billed for a Tammany speech at the opening of the campaign and sent word he had a cold. Some of the wise ones now are asking each other if it was an old fashioned cold or a case of "cold shoulder.” Sixty per cent of the home owners in America own their properties, debt free, so we are not as bad off as we might imagine when we hear and read so much about foreclosures and refinancing and one thing and another brought on by the depression. The contract for the paving of road 527 between Decatur and-Will-shire will be let November 7th, news that brings a smile to hundreds of Adams county citizens who have long hoped for that action. The grade should be Started soon after that and the road completed early next summer. Local boys wno go out after rabbits and squirrels scarcely realize the perils of big game hunting. Statistics show that in. India last year 1,068 tigers were killed and in the hunt for these beasts 1,033 men lost their lives. That ought to be thrill enough for most any one of a daring nature. Martin F. Worthman, superintendent of the Decatur, public schools, was re-elected secretary of tht ■Northern Indiana Teacher's Association at the Fort Wayne meeting yesterday and will continue the work he has so efficiently performed the past several years. Mr. Worthman has proven his worth on this job as he always does, and his friends are happy over his continued recognition. A seventeen-year-old girl has , proven that it is possible to swim from Alcatraz island to the mainland, but that doesn't prove that it would not be a safe prison for , murderers and bandits. She was accompanied by a boat and watch- , ed carefully and then found it no easy task. It is not likely that any

of the prisoners would be able to get away over that route. The best proof Is that though used as a military prison for sixty years, not a ’ single prisoner has ever escaped. We are Informed by District - Superintendent Baker of the state highway commission that the center lines on hlack top roads cannot be put on until the weather is cooler so that the material used for that purpose will set quickly. If it is put on in warm weather it is quickly wiped off by passing cars. On concrete roads the center line marking can be done by the use of gravel, but this Is not true of black top. In due time, this will be taken care of. Mr. Baker has made an excellent record on his job. He, is conscientous and a worker and is making a record worth while in taking care of the state roads in Adams and 'Wells county which form his territory. Genuine sorrow is felt in this community because of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, one of the best known pioneer ladies of the county, whose lovely disposition and her interest in all affairs had endeared her to every one. She was a daughter of the late Judge David Studabaker and the greater part of her life had been spent in the environment she loved so dearly. She was stricken only last week and her death has shocked the many who knew her. Active in club and church work, always interested in general affairs, a great reader and a student, she was a wonderful character. To her sisters, her grandchildren and the other relatives we extend the sympathies of the people of Adams county. For some years the Chicago Tribune has been known as "America's wettest newspaper." Now they announce in bold type that they will not accept advertisements for the sale of whisky, brandy, gin. rum and similar liquors. It is probalfle a similar attitude will be taken* ! Ay many other newspapers, though until it is known what means of distributing liquor—if and when the eighteenth amendment, is repealed—develops, this cannot be definitely decided. There are many who are sincere in their ideas as to temperance but who nevertheless were opposed to the amendment and who hope that the morale of the country can be improved by other methods of control. The new period ought to be interesting to millions of good citizens. Q > * Answers To Test Questions Below a.-e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1. New York City. 2.
