Looks as though that's about the only way to deal with trigger men. Candidates for the Democratic nomination for United States senator continue to appear and the convention next June promises to - be a very lively and interesting event. The trustee office in the various i townships seems to be the job most 1 coveted.

A representative will visit Decatur this week and if plans can be completed, work on an airport will start very soon. Colonel Lindbergh may be able j to explain his actions regarding . the air mail investigations but it will take something to make us understand why he who has always opposed publicity, suddenly wanted it by the column and a half.

Let Europe fight it they want to. They seem to be Intent upon that very thing and get mad It advice is offered. This nation however can easily stay out ot the difficulties and the citizens generally hope they will do so. Can you imagine .lint Watson critlzlng President Roosevelt for raising the tariff? That's what he did in a speech which he sent to Akron to be read at a Lincoln Day meeting. He wasn't very delin/e about it but managed to leave the impression he was "agin" him. John Dillinger's attorneys declare he is afflicted with "claustrophobia," which Webster defines as being a morbid fear of confinement. We never heard of it but if that's what this killer has, it is such a serious thing it would seem to require a "hot" application or two. There are some things hard to understand. We supposed that if August Busch, famous St. Louis brewer could ever get his vats operating legally' again on something stronger thau half of one per cent he would be content to just sit and blow the foam off. but instead of that he decided to use a little gun powder. Charles Ponzi who swindled eastern folks out of nine million dollars and was released today after ten years behind the bars, has the nerve to tell the folks whats wrong and how to correct it. Listening to fellows like him, some of whom ought to have been with him in the Boston jail house, is the cause of some of our troubles. —- A concerted attack on the administration was made by the few old standpatters on Lincoln Day. Speeches by Moses of “sons of wild jackass'' fame, Jim Watson of Indiana. and a few other senators and congressmen who would give their eye-teeth to come back just one more term, scattered over the country and got a lot of nasty stuff off their chests. Needless to say their arguments or rather lheir satires fell flat on a nation just emerging i from a lot of trouble into which they fell while these fellows were doing things. — o OBITUARY I Malinde Florence Judy, daughter of Absalom and Martha Judy, was born in Randolph County, Indiana, September 16, 1855, and departed this life from Fort Wayne, Indiana. February 3. 1931, aged 78 years, 1 months, and 18 days. She was united in marriage to Osro DeArmond ill 1875. To this union eight children were born, Hertha. Clement, Onia, Ora, Jessie, Arthur, Hattie, and Forest. Bertha, | Clement, and Oma preceded their mother in death. This marriage was broken by the death of Mr. DeArmond in 1889. In 1891 she was united in marriage to Edward Lynch, who also preceded her in death in 1918. To this union three children were born. Frank, Edra, and Maggie. Mrs. Lynch came to Adams county in 1888 and has witnessed the remarkable development from the days of the log cabin, mud roads, and heavy forests to the present condition. In 1891 she joined the Salem M. E. church during the pastorate of the Rev. Wm. H. F. Freeland and continued as an active member until her death. By her religious faith .she has pioneered and broken a path tor her loved ones to follow. During a severe and nearly fatal illness within the past year she expressed her unshaken faith in her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to Ufr pastor as tie minis! red at the ide of her bed of pain. She leaves to mourn their loss eight children, Ora Patterson, Arthur and Forest DeArmond of Blue Creek township. Jessie Davis, Hattie Davies, and Maggie Marhaugh of Fort Wayne.

COUNTY AGENTb COLUMN • — — Eventually hundreds of Adams County farmers will have to do something to eradicate tlrn annoying Canada thistle, qnuck grass perennial sow thistle, Johnson grass and certain other novioua weeds. Inasmuch as this appears in the farm picture, the cooperators in tile corn hog program of the AAA to reduce production of these two products will have an excellent opportunity to carry through their plans this year on the acres they contract to the Government. Tills suggestion comes from L. E. Archbold, County Agent of Adams County. "Cultivation lo eradicate peri nnial weeds as those mentioned fits in nicely with the crop reduction program." said Archbold. "Demonstrations in Adams County have re peat.dly shown that Canada thistle, and quack grass can he killed by cultivation. Perennial sow thistle, anew and serious weed found in northern Indiana, can bo handled in similar r. Observations made on Johnson grass have shown summer and full tillage mo t effective. When the cultural practice is applied it must be thorough enough to keep all plants below the ground. In the case of Canada thistle, perennial thistle and quack grass, the land should lie plowed

SYNOPSIS Toung and beautiful Stanley Paine loses her fortune through market speculation hut a harder blow comes when her fianre . . . the fascinating, irresponsible Drew Armitage . . . tells her it would be madness to marry on his income and leaves town. Penniless and broken-hearted. Stanley refuses to seek aid irom her wealthy friends. Desiring to make her own way. Stanley drops out of her exclusive circle and rents a cheap furnished room. After a week of loneliness and trying to adapt herself to her poor surroundings, Stanley calls on Nigel Stern, one of her society friends, and asks his aid in securing a position. Nigel urges her to marry the handsome and wealthy young lawyer. Perry Deverest, who has loved her devotedly for years, but Stanley's heart is with Drew. Nigel suggests that she think it ■ over, and then, if she still wants a position, he will try to place her. CHAPTER NINETEEN Stanley had been sitting for a | long time on the park bench. There ) had been children in the Square when she first came, and families eating ice-cream cones and people waiting for busses, and more people sitting, reading the evening papers. But now it was quite dark and the children had gone home and the peopie had taken the busses and there was no longer any daylight to read by. Here and there through the Square lovers sat close together, theirs arms and hands touching; here and there people who were no longer lovers sat and slept—or just aat, too tired to go home. It was hot and still—with the heat hanging languidly, as it does when it is very dark and there is no wind and no promise of rain. Even in the darkness one knew that the trees and grass were scorched; that the painted benches were blistered, that everywhere dust lay thick and dry and motionless. Stanley sat motionless, too, her hands folded one over the other. She had taken a bath, and dressed, and gone out to the corner drug store and climbed up on a high stool between a fat, cheerful perspiring man, who was eating a hamburg sandwich and a mildly pretty little girl who was consuming a chocolate ice-cream soda. She had ordered food but the sight of the wilted lettuce and slice of overripe tomato had been too much for an already sick appetite, and so she had slid off the stool and come here. Valerie had gone out with Jimmy Hunter—they had asked her to go along—now she wished that she had—but it had been so hot and she had been so tired. Sitting here now in the dark, she went wearily over the four days which had passed since her afternoon at Nigel's. Thu relaxed mood in which she had left his studio had deserted her within a few hours »nd she had known almost at once that she would not go back or telephone to him. She tried to explain it to Valerie. "It’s like this, Vai—if I let him Leip me, get me this place in the art shop, it would mean that I would be seeing all of them again—Nigel, Dennis St. John, Perry, of course. I don't want to do that. I don’t know why, exactly, but I don’t. I'd rather find something for myself, work things out alone.” So each day since she had walked several miles in answer to advertisements Valerie marked the night before in the evening paper. Assistant in a beauty parlor, hostess in a tea room, attendant in a doctor’s office, part-time governess for two English children, demonstrator ior a new brand of coffee, tiling

clerk in a large department store—and each time she arrived too late or was turned away because of lack of experience or references. Valerie was persistently optimistic. “Something is sure to turn up, but you’ve got to be patient. Don't expect to get it this week, or maybe next.” Stanley felt things would be infinitely easier when she had work to do. When one is physically tired out, one has to sleep. Between work and sleep she hoped to get through the next few months—beyond that she refused to go. Every bit of her ached for Drew. She felt that if he had been in New York, she would have gone to him and begged him to come back to her. But he was not. in New Y’ork. He was in Chicago. And in her heart she thanked God that Jhis was so, and at the same time prayed that he might return, that he might speak to her over the telephone, that she might meet him in the street. Every tall, ewinging figure seen at a distance robbed her of her breath and she sorted over the scanty mail on the hall table with trembling fingers. But Drew did not come and he did not write and in her innermost soul she knew that this was good but her heart hungered for him—piteously, rebelliourly. unceasingly. Even in her sleep she was never without a troubled consciousness of him—the ripple of hard muscle iq his lean arms, the slanting planes of his dark checks, the husky note in his voice when he made love to her. She wondered if these things would ever dim, grow vague and fade away, if she would ever be able to push him into some dark, far corner of her mind, if he would ever become less a painfully distinct reality and more a half-for-gotten memory. She thought not. So intent she was upon her own thoughts that she was startled when out of the hot darkness someone spoke to her. Excuse me, but you’ve been sitting here an awful long time and so have I. If you don’t want me to talk to you, I won’t but if you don't mind, I’d like to.” She looked up abruptly, noticed for the first time that she was not the sole occupant’of the bench. In the darkness it was hard to tell mueh about him, except that he was young and thin and had a nice,
