Adams county has all current bills paid and a balance in the bank, which speaks good for county management and keeps this county in the “Al" credit list. As engineering and artistic productions the new automobiles are the last word. The average person does not see how they can be further improved, but those who drove through the fog last night, see the possibilities of advancing ' the efficiency of head lights. Tomorrow the legislature con- 1 venes. It will bo an important session and among the bills that, attract public interest are those pertaining to taxation, regulation I of the liquor business, the primary law and several others. At least i there will be plenty to keep the l legislators busy and Hoosiers will keep an eye on what is done.

A lovable character and pioneer' l of the community passed with the death of Mrs. Isabelle Phillips. She lived here all her life, was ■ i actively associated with the growth 1 of church and community in early ! , I life and was held in affectionate , ' I regard in later years. She has gone ) . to that greater place prepared for I ' kind, good and deserving souls. ) The detailed report for the Good ] Fellows club shows that $280.31, i was expended for clothing, food, 1 [ a toys and candy for the needy fam-1 ( | ilies and children at Christmas I e time. The community should con- 1 sider the agencies of this club as , one of the worthy institutions I through which is can express ai 1 charity impulse and have the satis- ; faction of helping those who would 1 j, otherwise be forgotten. Let's do a I \ better next year. d Walt Gilliom, county surveyor, has been named road supervisor, the commissioners following the policy established hero two years » ago of combining the highway de- t partment with the engineer's of- t flee. Under Mr. Gillium's predecessor a progressive program of ' road building and maintenance was [ carried out. Mr. Gilliom is well equipped for the job assigned him and under his supervision Adams county will continue to be of the leaders in maintaining an efficient 1 road system. President. Roosevelt’s message to 1 Congress speaks of ‘‘approximately 5,000,000 unemployed now on the 1 relief rolls.” This can hardly mean that Mr. Roosevelt estimates • the number of unemployed in the country at only 5,000,000. It would , he less than half the figure put out by the American Federation of Labor. which must be' now some- 1 where between eleven and twelve million, ft would be considerably less than the recent estimate of , the National Industrial Conference Hoard which placed the idle at somewhere between seven and eight millipn. Presumably, then, the President’? figure of 5.000,000 , was meant to say that only part i of the unemployed army has gone

ion relief. If the American Federlatlon of Labor figures are anywhere near the truth, we find that * after several years of crisis only p one jobless person iff every two { has availed himself of public assistance. The others would be trying 1 j to get on with help from relatives laud friends; or perhaps there are ; | still some savings. But it does • show the node for as close a definitive statement as may be had about the size of the unemploy- ' meat problem.—New York Times, i _____ I BEING GOOD:— When King George announced I the New Year list of honors, the ' prince of Wales was made an admiral of the fleet, a general of the army and chief marshal of the air • forces. London correspondents say that he will ascend the throne with nearly all the secular titles that may be bestowed on any Briton. He was already a duke, an earl, a baron, a colonel of seventeen regiments, an officer In several orders of chivalry, a Knight of the Garter, a Knight of the Thistle and master of the merchant : navy and fishing fleet. About all that is left for him is to accede to the throne and become emperor of India and defender of the faith. That Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, who was forty years old last June, Is ' his father's favorite has long been believed among those who pretend to know. His name is often linked with some European princess, the empire becomes excited, nothing happens and the Britons wait for another rumor. A bride for him does not appear in the picture, but London is wondering whether the king’s lavish display of affection > may have been prompted by something more than fatherly love. There is reason to believe, observera say, that the prince has prom- 1 l isocl to settle down this year and , take a bride. It is in return for that promise, they think, that the i honors were bestowed. — Indianap-

Sunnyvale, Calif. o — MEMORIAL AND RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE OFFICIAL BOARD OF THE ZION REFORMED CHURCH Martin F. Worthman was born in Preble township. Adams County, Indiana. He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Worthman, Sr. He acquired his early education in the country school and later attended the State Normal school at Terre Haute and the Vniversity of Chicago. He was married to Lydia Fruechte. She, together with two daughters and one son survive him. Os Martin F. Worthman, it can be rightfully said that he loved the things that were pure and despised the things that were impure; that, he was just, upright, impartial, i courteous, patient, and learned in his profession. His private character was without stain, his morality of the highest type; his conception of the things of justice were clear; his judgment was founded with care and expressed with vigor. He was a man of deep conviction, a student and a zealous seeker after knowledge. Briefly this is the character of the man whom we now mourn. Therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Martin F. Worthman, Zion Reformed Church has lost a most valuable ' member, one who was fitted by > temperament, learning and by the! 1 highest attributes of moral char- ■ acter for the position he has filled 1 among us with such high honor and with such great credit to himself and to the profession he loved. 1 We, therefore, deplore his death, not only because of his great worth as a citizen, as a father and as a man; serving in the capacity as Congregational Secretary at the time of his death. * Resolved, that his memory is en--1 titled to be cherished by the members of the Zion Reformed Church for his high qualities as an associate; for his professional honor and ability and for his honesty and 1 integrity as a citizen. 1 Resolved, that a copy of this Memorial and Resolution be presented to the Official Board of Zion 1 Reformed Church and spread of record in the Record of Minutes ■ kept by said Board and that a ’ copy be presented to its family, a copy to Decatur Daily Democrat r for publication and that a Mem-

and ocean liners and to airplanes that cross the country In shortly over a day. For 48 hours, on their way from Sevastopol to Kiev, the western star and his wife went without food or even water. In Moscow, they called upon an American who had just been operated upon for appendicitis. They found that, due to the shortage of surgical supplies, the doctor had simple sealed the wound with glue. Says O'Brien: “There is only one way to put it The powers in Russia today are sacrificing this generation and the next for a possible third.” The sudden death of Lowell Sherman—he was in the hospital only two days—stunned the film colony. Only the close friends of the actordirector knew the nature of the critical throat ailment with which he had suffered for several years. This left him in a weakened condition, an easy prey to pneumonia. His tragic passing not only throws sorrow but fear into the film colony. Colds and influenza are not being treated lightly.
