Huey Long brays like other dumb animals. President Roosevelt may be only 53 years old. but the last three made up for about 103. Today is the deadline for sending in your gross income tax report. You still have a few hours. Huey is mistaken.. There are more than one concern that would like to see him removed from public life. To you. President Roosevelt, the people of Adams county send birthday greetings. We all hope you continue to enjoy good health, retain a happy outlook on life and see the country restored to good times. .1. Pierpont Morgan will offer several of his paintings for sale with the hope of restoring his checking account. Six pieces of art to be auctioned off are valued at a million and half dollars and if anyone wants them at that price the financier will sell. Representative Bohannon wants Indiana to go Nevada one better in making it easier to get a divorce. He has introduced a bill requiring only a 30-day residence in the state before application for a divorce could be made. Renos time limit is six weeks. That's oue more bill the committee can bury. The judge has suspended the balance of the daily hiking sentence imposed on an Anderson youth. Physical punishment might be alright, but it doesn't sound good and the penalty imposed by the conn did not meet with popular approval. To our way of thinking it was a poor way to impress youth with the dignity of the courts. ■ Maxie Baer and Ischmelling put on the gloves several times and slapped each other, but the verbal encounter between (Hauptmann and Attorney Wilentz, was more excitJng than any prize-fight, court Spectators at the worlds greatest trial declare. Bruno fought like a |iger and the prosecuting attorney 'edged him on with verbal pokes tmd jibes. What did tho jury think of it?

, Why-do men steal? Twice in Jeectil wepks. the writer lias been Informed by men charged with petit larceny that they stole liecause “they had to eat and teed ■their families." That’s a pom extiise. from the federal government down to the township, church organizalion or individual, agencies exist to feed the needy and no ouo needs commit a crime in tfi'o effort to obtain food. tiny of the marks of childhood that lingers longest in human minds is the tendency to blame the today's result of yesterday s fallacious thinking on anything but the thinking. Ou impulse, perhaps

arising out of the emotion during i the recent dark years, many of us have thought by wishing, and now I we find the results of our wishing I disappointing. The point is aptly T illustrated hy the very small boy who complained that his ice cream t cone was too cold. His father assured him that to warm It up would be easy. He retired to the kitchen, emptied the cone, and filled it with t hot mashed potato. The boy was I elated, then very sober. "What's ~ the matter?'’ the father finally askp ed. "You wanted hot ice cream. " Don't you like it?" 'lt's hot, all " right," was the response, "but it - ’ tastes exactly like mashed potato." 11 The Rotarian. ■' I — SCOUTI'G BIRTHDAY: As February 8 comes around this year, we are once again reminded that the Boy Scouts are having a birthday, this time an officially Important one. the twenty-fifth, which i will usher in its Silver Anniversary I year, celebrating a quarter cen- ■ tury of Scouting, during which 6,i 530.330 boys and men have In all ■ branches followed its happy and healthy, outdoor program and eom- ' ; mitted themselves to the great ' Oath and Law. which has been described as the finest code for con- ’ duct that has been proclaimed ’ j since the Sermon on the Mount. Congratulations to every Boy Scout l of America! Congratulations to i America that it has Boy Scouts. Scouting was devised as a game I and is played in that spirit, but underneath the game, permeating ' every aspect of it, are the intangI ible permanent values of character, | of loyalty and good faith and courI age and service in forgetfulness of self, in remembrance of the needs of others. Take oue Scout Law alone and see what it means to American life j .as a whole, where it is multiplied I! more than a thousand fold, as it I annually is. “A Scout is clean — iHe keeps clean in body and ■ i thought, stands for clean speech, . 1 clean sport, clean habits and trav- ,; els w ith a clean crowd." If this i is a game, it is a game II every American parent will covet i I for his son. . We listen to the Scout Oath, to which every Scout aud Scouter throughout the country will re-sub-s scribe on Friday evening, February r 8. o • ♦ S T A R S I G N A L S | By OCTAVINE For parsons who believe that huI man destiny is guided by ttie planets . the daily horoscope is outluied by a ' noted astrologer, tn addition to ini formation of general interest, It outj lines information of special interest i to persons born on the designated >; dates.
