We do not want this stretch in this county built of other material than that granted to other counties and sufficient enthusiasm here will bring the desired results. Summer is here and with it all , the pleasures that go with this season when light clothes and the out of doors and lemonade and ball games and ice cream socials and a lot of other things go to make , us happy. Bring us your job work. We will make a special effort to get it out for you in the best style, in good time and at the lowest cost possible and we will appreciate your business. So will the boys who work for us. President Roosevelt is determined to carry on his ideals for failbusiness as expressed by the NRA and what he desires, he gets. In due time we will have his solution of the tangled problem which the recent repeal caused. — The corn is planted and in many fields is coming up, the beets are a hundred per cent and notv with a break in the weather, Adams county farmers will reap a rich harvest. As we have repeatedly said that’s the best cure for the depression. The president of Franklin college has come to the defense of slang but that doesn't make it sound any better. Whether its a college man or the fellow on the street, we are sure that good English is better tasting to the person who listens in. This is peony week at Van Wert, always an occasion worth attending and particularly interesting this year for those who love beautiful flowers for the program is one of the best ever arranged. The parade and the big day of the week will be on Wednesday when it is expected a record crowd will attend. Senator Fred VanNuys. who in his two years service as a United States Senator has proven his value as a representative of this state, will visit Indiana this week to confer with those who have problems in the upper house of congress aud to discuss politics with leaders of the party. The senator is a wise politician and a tearless leader. The pavement of 224 will not interfere with any other road and should be built to correspond with the rest of this important route. It is a United States highway and is so marked and in a few years will be one of the busy roads of this part of the country. Every one should assist in the campaign to have this highway Improved with concrete between here and Uniondale.

Roadhouses over Indiana have been closed by the new liquor laws and those who thought it a bluff should now awaken to the fact that it is any thing but that. The liquor board for this county is in session today to pass upon applications and to make such recommendations to the state as they deem proper. Within a short time the public will know whether the statute of 1935 is effective or not. Home owners in distress, that is those who may lose their properties by foreclosure of mortgage, now have another opportunity to make application through the district office, S. B. Fleming, manager. Those interested should write him at Fort Wayne and secure proper blanks and instructions. These new applications, it is well to remember, must be filed before the 27th of this month or they cannot be considered. The list of automobile accidents has been exceedingly large the past week and if this continues it will be worse than alarming by the end of the summer mouths. Youngsters who tear over the roads at from seventy to eighty miles an hour, singing and listening to the radios are almost sure to come to grief. With the high speed now possible in the new cars, it behooves every driver to be on the lookout and to have his car under controll every minute. George Weyerhaeuser, nine yearold son of a millionaire lumberman of Tacoma. Washington, kidnaped and held for a week, was released Saturday. He was chained and held captive in a hole in the ground and suffered terribly from the ordeal. His parents and relatives were wild with anxiety and did every thing requested of them that their boy might be returned. There is no more terrible crime known to modern times and no punishment is too severe for the perpetrators. Government officials are now on the job and will follow every clue until the criminals are brought to justice. — o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test questions printed on Page Two. 1.
