The storms at sea are reported to be the worst in a long time so if you are inclined to sea sickness, it may be better to wait a few weeks if you contemplate an excursion by water. The annual banquet of Adams county farmers will be held this year in the new school house in Geneva with Peter J. Lehman as toastmaster and a good program. Plan to attend for you will enjoy the day. Even if the strike is settled it will require considerable time to catch up on lost time. An entire month has been wasted and it will take a lot of overtime to make it up if this year is to equal las? when the totals are compiled. It will be up to every one to "lick in" and do his "durndest." That flood prevention is possible is proven by the fact that Dayton and tho surrounding territory went through the recent floods without damage. After the 1913 floods the Ohio Vali'iy Improvement was made and the water can be improuuded in that section so that it really can be handled. Though the floods interfered seriously with the President’s Birthday Balls, scheduled all over] America, they provided much pleas-' ure and a good sized fund to be used to care for those afflicted i with infantile paralysis. It's a good cause as is any that tends to relieve suffering. Your dollars thus spent should and usually do come back many fold. Joe Lewis, the "black bomber,” j evidently didn’t have his dynamite with him when he met Bob Pastor,' old football star at Madison Square! Garden, the otffer evening. Bob backed up on him and the famous slugger couldn't get in any very: severe blows. Pastor went the! ten rounds and according to the ' judges took Cour of them. The legislature took a ten-day recess, first time since the Civil War and will not reconvene until next Monday. If by that time the flood situation is in hand, they will rush their work through to close at the regular period and if not, they may adjoiirn and accept Governor Townsend's proposal that he call a special session after the full damage of the Hoods are known.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

Those folks who reside in the central and north parts of the state should send in their gross income taxes promptly for of course thousj ands who reside along the river [ will not bo able to do so and most d, of them Just now feel like they t ! don’t care if they ever do. In the •, meantime, we must keep the ship tjof state moving so that we can recover as speedily us possible. The 2 tax has to be paid and the sooner 0 you attend to the job, the better ? for every one. D I) 5 Decatur will hold another agri--9 cultural show and street fair to be ® I sponsored by the Chamber of Comi raerce which has given similar events the past three years and with marked success. The Decatur fair is known us one of the cleanest and best and success is assurled if proper financial support is given. The Agricultural Program j Planning Committee favors the fair and urged the Chamber of Commerce to get back of It. Do your share when called upon. l i It’s easy to say mean things about the strikers, the non strikers, the bosses and the companies but I after ull that doesn't gain us a ( i thing. These problems must come j and must be settled and we hope | ■ every one keeps his feet on the i . ground. Riots and bloodshed do not win contests or disputes, refus- ■ Ing to confer is not good American-, . ism. being foolishly stubborn or in-, i sistent never gets those who act ! so as far as those using good judg- • i ment. It's all going to work out and we hope for the best. Evidently ex Senator James Eli Watson wasn't as fond of William Jennings Bryan as were many ■ folks. In his "As 1 knew them”, | he lands rather roughly on the ■ Commoner and indicates that in. 1912, he left his reporter’s job at' the Republican convention in ChiI cago, to hurry to Baltimore and set up his own fences, although an instructed delegate from Nebraska for Champ Clark of Missouri. Be that as it may, Mr. Bryan's name never went before the convention | but the westerner was given credit for Mr. Wilson's nomination when he left Clark and led the bandwag.on slide to the Princeton univer-1 sity president. Tlie Red Cross appeal for funds I for the flood stricken areas has\ I been splendidly responded in Indiana and in other parts of the nation, but we doubt if in any ! county has it been more genuine lor generous than here in Adams 1 county. The original request tor ♦2OO will be met three hundred times besides trucks of clothing, , bedding and food. It has been marvelous both as to the amounts ami to the spirit with which it was done. We are proud of our people, prouder than ever, and we have | watched them through every crisisi for many years, always with the. feeling that the citizens of Adams' county are "tife salt of the earth.” The loss to public building in the thirteen Ohio river towns in, Indiana which have been inundat,ed by the greatest flood ever known in the middle west, has I been estimated at two and a half. million dollars. An effort to have I the money to rebuild these edifaces will be made to the federal 1 government. The citizns, aided by the Red Cross and other agencies for relief, will some way get back , to normalcy and can be comfort-1 able but there is no way by which the buildings ami bridges could be replaced lor years to come ami ! ■ then only with a tux rate that I ■ would be too burdensome. Many , grave problems arise as the lead < rs begin to think of what is best ' to do. o j MCONGRESS TODAY * By UNITED PRESS * —♦ Senate Debates deficiency relief bill.

b'ood has a great affinity for carbon monoxide and absorbs it from the lungs instead of the oxygen | which is needed to sustain life. An automobile engine running in an ordinary small garage with doors - and windows closed will produce! enough carbon monoxide gas to kill you in a few moments. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless,! colorless , and very deadly. You can-i not feel it, see it, smell it, or taste I it. Never run the motor of your car unless the garage doors and windows are open‘Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
