Hunters took to the field today the opening of the hunting season in Indiana. May their pleasures be many and accidents few. Let’s put on a community Christmas event. Business will benefit from such an endeavor and the public will help make it a success. President Roosevelt received a little over 60 per cent of the popu-' lar vote and if you think that isn’t an achievement just start out and try to do it yourself. We can fill vacancies in public office by election or appointment, but we can't fill the places of Kin Hubbard. Will Rogers and Chic Sale The world was brighter with them. ITie election proved that the American people once in a while vote for something and someone. I In 1932 they voted against Hoover, while in 1936 they voted for Roose- 1 velt and what he stood for. That's the way it should be. Adams county is proud of the! men who have and will take important parts in running the state government and formulating beneficial legislation. They have made records for themselves and friends, here are justly proud of the place they hold. The college bands give you a thrill. Playing at the IndianaSyracuse game the drum major and his IDO players presented a pro gram which brought the crowd to its feet. It was one of the features of the afternoon devoted to' the honoring of youth, their zest and love for life. More I han four and a half million new automobiles were sold in 1936, the highest of any year since 1929. The number of cars in use has increased many more millions and the job of building additional miles of new roads, filling stations and parking lots will continue. The auto industry views next year! to be the greatest in history. ■. Don i think that newspapers will want for interesting news.

The death bf George W. Cromer of Muncie, removes a political figure who 40 years ago was one of the leaders in this section in the state. A former mayor of his I home town, Mr. Cromer also served : eight years in Congress and i championed the bill which brought rural free delivery of mail to the ' country. He was a political power i for many years, a keen politician nnd gave a good account of himself in public service. He was 86 years of age and a fine old gentleman. The eighteenth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice will: be observed Wednesday and honor ! 1 will Ire paid to those who fought and died in the World War. The years soon slip by and a new gen- , . eration of youth would now be call-, ed if this country were dragged ■ into any kind of a conflict.- There | , is not much likelihood that Amer I ica will get into a scrape in the next few years.

Such gigantic power and irrigation projects as Boulder dam and Grand Coulee dam arc expected to revolutionize living standards anti working methods for . thousands. With water available for irrigation, thousands of acres will be opened up to cultivation which in the past were practical only for grazing. As agriculture becomes more diversified and less subject to the ravages of drouth, the benefits will be felt In increased population, improved transportation facilities and greater prosperity. There are also prospects of an industrial trend in many parts of the west.
