It's just a year since the payment of soldier bonuses began and three-fourths of the bonds issued at that time have been cashed. ••The new traffic regulations should be made as soon as possible for it was again demonstrated Saturday evening that something must be done. Get back of the street fair and agricultural show to be held herej Uie first week of August. With your genuine support it is sure to be a real success. It will take some time for the Review of Reviews to gain the reputation held by the Literary Digest so long for they can’t afford to boast about any tiling back of 1936. ~ Making the Adams county jail a ■federal institution will probably ■not make it any more pleasant for those so unfortunate as to have to do time there. It is probable ihe regulations will have to be even more severe than in the past. Business and Hie public in general will observe the Fourth of July which falls on Sunday this *ear, on the day following, giving another double week end holiday. ■Jfeedless to say many will take advantage of this with a trip to the lake, park or some where else. | Farm mortgages recorded last j year totaled $800,000,000 as com-, pared to $1,700,000,000 in 1934. That's a good barometor and indicates that the average farmer is j to considerably better condition financially than he was a short two i or three years ago. Let's keep it going. —- The need for cash in Europe is I so pressing that the various uu tious are being polite in their re- i -iusals to pay this nation any thing on their war debts. A few years ago they were real “cocky” about it. Now they admit they owe and are willing to promise to pay when "then can. We are not surprised that many workmen in Cleveland, Detroit and other industrial centers who have Tjeen idle for several weeks have! Reached the point where they are willing and ready to fight for a resumption of industry so they can again receive their pay envelopes. Under the new Indiana law regulating driving of motor cars, the motorist who causes personal or property damages must pay for aame within thirty days after judgCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

ment is taken or stop driving. His license will be suspended auto- ' raatlcally until the judgment is | settled. Congratulations to Congressman Kloeb of Celina, Ohio, well known here, on his recent appointment to! | he a federal judge of the U. S. 1 district court in Toledo. It is a: ! worth while honor and those who : j are acquainted with the ability of , Mr. Kloeb believe he will prove a ; | just and able jurist. It's a splendid thing to have good hands in a community and 1 we are proud of those in this city.; Much credit is due Mr. Albert Sellemeyer for his excellent work along this line and his continued | . interest in helping the boys and ! girls and thus rendering a real service to the community. Various shops and plants here and elsewhere are organizing employes associations which they have the right to do under the Wagner act. We hope they con- j sider the matter seriously and; unite with those organizations i which are for their best good. As- • ter all its up to the individual to j determine his own best interests} and to work to obtain that. Is Joe Louis as good as he was a year ago? Is Jim Braddock the. guy he was when he took the title j away from Baer in a surprise bout? Your guess is as good as ours or any one else s. It will be settled tomorrow night in Chicago and the winner will be the king of swat and that’s worth a million. If you are lucky enough to pick him you can stick out your chest and say “I told you so.” Suggestions for corrections ill j proposed traffic regulations here are being received and each has merit. These will lie considered no doubt by the city council when they consider the ordinances as recommended and after a few months of experiment it may be necessary to amend the ordinance, j In other words we should be traffic minded and continue until we get it worked out just right. The Texas legislature has re-' pealed the pari-mutuel betting bill after four years. It was enacted as a revenue measure but failed j to bring in enough to meet expenses. Many claim this would best result here. In some states it is a great success but that's in Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois, New York or Florida where the racing business is popular and where they attract throngs from other states. Bigger and better than ever is [ the claim for the third annual De catur street fair and agricultural i show by those who are working at * the job of making it that. More concessions than ever in history l have already been sold and the program is lining up rapidly now. The free acts will be the best to be had, the display of live stock promises to excel any in the past and every thing points, with good weather, to a great event the first week in August. A 65-year-old Tennessee man worked bis wife to a plow all day, then performed an illegal operation upon her so she could t keep on serving as a work horse. She died and the jury returned a verdict of involuntary mauslaughter, giving him one year in prison. He may be an ignorant hillbilly, a ! “cum-here furrincr" or any thing j else they want to call him, but he! ! is a “beast” of the stone age and j deserves such punishment that will teach him that if he has to work his women he should at least give them the care that tue other animals on his farm are entitled to. o Adams County Memorial Hospital I ♦ « Admitted Sunday: Miss Kate j Flickinger, 1103 Wect Monroe street i Dismissed Sunday: Roger Neirmey- ! cr, Monroeville.
