Two weeks from Wednesday is Christinas and you can't lose any time if you are going to be ready for it. Its time to get your license plates for 1936 and your driver's license. Don't wait until the last' moment for that is tedious and embarrassing for you and the • bureau folks. Do it now.

None of the detectives or others who are so anxious to have Hauptmann freed hare explained satisfactorily how he happened to be in possession of thousands of dol-1 lars of the ransom money. Drop a dime or a dolar in one of the boxes for funds for the Good! Fellows Club. The ladies in charge ’ will sec that every jienny is spent: to make the poor children of the I cominunlly happy on Christmas day. From all reports the recent ‘‘grass roots" meeting of young Re- ■ publicans at Fort Wayne was about i as near a washout us it could have been. There was lack of enthusiasm and little if any coordinr’ion which was supposed to be the purIKise of the affair. Otto Hoile is again taking numerotis prizes at the International Stock Show in Chicago with his tine hogs, much to the gratiticaiion of his friends. White its not a new thrill for Otto it is nevertheless pleasing to know that he is keeping up his record. Christmas shopping is on in earnest. Everybody is doing it now and Uie local stores have provided sufficient help to take care of you promptly and satisfactorily. They will help you make your selections if you are at a loss what to buy and make it as easy for you as possible. 1. G. Kerr, whose funeral was held today, was held in high esteem by hundreds of Adams county people. As trustee of Monroe township and active in many other ways, he had a wide acquaintance and was very popular. His sudden death caused much sorrow here and elsewhere over the county. A definite plan for progress in 1936 will b< adopted by the Cham

ber of Commerce and those in charge should have the 100 per cent support of every citizen who wish- ■ es this city and county to keep at the front of the procession. You know we are rated now ns about the best there is. Let's keep going. Bernar McFadden, publisher of several magazines, good and bad.l seems to think he is being pushed ; for the presidency. We doubt it.! Those who have looked through his publications or some of them. . would soon feel we were not going in the right direction, if we even thought of accepting such leadership. A strike on the Burlington railroad will serve to further increase the popularity of motor trucks and probably not result as those in control of the organizations decide. This is a bad time to strike. However it's a new cause, the demand being that on the new Delsel engines. an extra cab man be providled, the same as used on the old engines. Funeral services were held this afternoon for Rev. D. M. Byerly, a pioneer of the county and one of the active citizens. Rev. Byerly was always interested in those things he considered best for his community and her people and he was sincerely respected by the many who knew him. His death is deeply regretted aud the sympaI thies of all are extended to the bereaved family.

Old age pensions iu Adams county totaled $16,597, a considerable amount. This figure will probably grow as time goes on and soon this item will be one of the heaviest in each county. While we all believe i in being charitable and as decent about it as can be, there is a limit to the amount any community can stand and for the lienefit of every i one concerned, the greatest care ! should be taken always to have • the amounts comparable with the needs of those who are ou the lists. Indiana and Michigan have com- . bined to fight crime which looks! ! like a partnership that ought to! bring good results. Michigan has long had the reputation of acting promptly and properly on crime and Indiana the past two or three years has been fighting to have a police system of merit. Slowly that is being accomplished and the present arrangement should do much to help. Similar pacts will be made with other bordering states it is announced. o ♦ — ♦ Answers 1 o Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page 1«o.

CITY OFFICERS FORCED TO PAY Huntington Officials Asked To Pay $903.50 To City Funds Huntington. Dec. Clerk-treas-urer Wallace Reed and John Pinkerton. a member of the city council, hsve been asked to pay the city $903 50 by the state board of accounts which last week received the report of an audit made at the request of citizens. Mr. Reed’s liability Involves the transfer of $575 from one fund of the garbage disposal department to another and purchase of the city of a truck for $125 under a rental contract, both termed illegal by the state board. Councilman Pinkerton unlawfully received $103.50 as a foreman in charge of constructing a Four--11 club live stock barn in flier's park while a member of the council. the state officials claim. The city had no specific fund for the purchase of a truck, and the garbage fund transfer was I made without notice to taxpayers as provided by an amended statute. the state accountants explain-1 ed. These errors charged against the city clerk-treasurer are tech- L nical and the board makes no claim that the city was not benetitled as a result of the transaci tions. Mr. Pinkerton is barred by statute from receiving special compensation from the city while sitting on the council, the examiners' report contend*. Clerk-treasurer Reed said today he would contest the board's request in court. Had the city council acted a day earlier in manipulating funds of the garbage department no qquestion would have been raised by the I stale board, it developed from an : investigation of the report. The ' revised statute requiring notice to I taxpayers became effective June . 10, this year, and the fund trans- | fer was made at a meeting of the council on June 11. o -— KERR FUNERAL CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) ' life as a farmer in Monroe towni ship.
