The mornings of the past week scent more like November than January. Hope it keeps up a couple of months and then gets better. The trimmings and lights are! down, holidays are over and school.; business and other activities are’ resumed- We are into 1938. Let s make the most and the best of it. The police are grateful for the fins cooperation being manifested in putting into effect the new parking ordinance. There is a disposition on the part of most every'one to obey the law and to follow instiUctions from the officers. Once established, it will do much for safety. Wonder why the big fellows who gave ont interviews concerning 1938 agreed that business would continue slow for a couple of months and then gradually improve. Why wait? if we start now we will be going strong by spring and the year will measure up much fuller. Tlie new parking ordinance is working and the difference is quite noticeable it you glance down Second or Monroe streets most any time during the day. The new order gives those who wish to attend to business an opportunity to get up to a business place and I makes traffic much easier. The candidates are getting out In-trout these days and by the end of the month the field will be filled with as fine a buch of starters as~have ever entered an Adams coffnty race. Keep it clean, do yowr best and win if you can. Tliet s the idea of a primary. Let th* people decide who their candidates will be. After listening to President , Roosevelt’s message to congress,! we are convinced that rich and, poor and the great majority which forms the middle class, that capital and labor, tanner and merchant, clerk anil factory employee, all are safe under this great man None inclined to be fair and honest and Christian Tike need fear that he will do any thing but what he feels is best. The President, again gives evidence of his earnestness and his desire to help his fellow men. He is striving all the time for that. Os course it’s a difficult job with a gregt responsibility, but Mr. Roosefelt in his message to congress, signified his desires and intentions to continue his battle for the forgotten ones. He is a great citizen and a wise executive. Stay by him and more power to him. The report on the jobless in America is somewhat indefinite, show ■ Ing that from eight to eleven million are either out of work off on part time. However, it is said this report includes about two million' women, two mllloti PWA workers

land three million on part time Perhaps after all It isti I as bud us those who talk for poHttcal purposes solely would have us bej lleve. If Congress, capital and labor will get together on a few I points, so the factories can reopen, every one will be happy and every t one who wants to work will be I given that opportunity. This is a t I ° I great country, best of all of them, land we are going on and on to a ■ happiness never witnessed in this II 11 or any other nation. I Five boys and two girls, fourteen ' and fifteen years old were Instantly I killed Sunday night when their car crashed through the New York Central gates at Butler and a fast train crashed into them. '1 hese young folks, from Edgerton and Hicksville. Ohio, were out having a good time, reckless and happy no doubt, but scarcely mature enough to be thus speeding in an automolnle. Parents should understand that in this state no child : under sixteen has the right to drive for pleasure and then only when proper consent has been given by the authorities who hold the parents liable. It is a regrettable accident, from which should come a determination on the part of parents and guardians of children, not to permit them to take such chances. A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENT; As the first year of the Town- | send administration draws to a close, the people can look back to j a record of accomplishment and pride. The first months faced the problems created by the greatest flood in history. The resources and man power of the state were thrown behind the work of rescue and rehabitation. In fighting the flood, the Gover- | nor responded instantly and successfully. There was no time to wait while people suffered from the want and hunger caused by this disaster. The people along the Ohio remember with thankfulness the aid given iu that hour. For the first time, it was necessary for the legislature to recess. Only sane leadership could have surmounted these difficulties in carrying out its program. Then came the threats of strikes, ( violent in other states. But the state was ready with its Indiana plan of settlement, perhaps the greatest achievement of any state i government. The Governor said he wished to stop strikes before 'they started. When the history of -all the threats that were made against industry, the determination to bring back the old order of force instead of reason, it will be found that the victories of peace were greater than those of war. Despite obstacles, Indiana has built. New factories have been ( built by the larger national industries. More men have been employed. The whole effort has been | made to aid. not injure. These' ; factories came to the Governor tor assurance. They praised the tax' system. They were satisfied that Indiana is safe. They were satisfied on something more than that, the schools, the churches, the parks made Indiana a pleasant | place in which to live, a place! where the family is still the unit of society. The state administration has nothing for which to apologize, much of which to be proud. "I may not be a great Governor. My wish is to be a good Governor," said Cliff Townsend as he took of-' flee. History will say that he has been both. o | ♦ -- * Adams County * Memorial Hospital Dismissed Tuesday: Arthur H6l- - 806 Patterson street; Mrs, Les- : ter Gallimore, Bryant.

Locked in the vaults of nature are secrets which succeeding generations can unlock and find in them a generous supply for their daily needs providing natural laws are not violated. The advantages of rural life far exceed the political and economic position of the city dweller. The boundless, free, grandeurs of nature can never be renumerated in dollars and cents. There is not a vocation in the world that offers more opportunities for development than the vocation of farming. The diversity of pursuit leads to many problems and working out a solution for these problems should bring individuals to a closer contact with the Creative Power. A machine age leads into another direction. In this statement I am not condemning labor saving machines which are used to reduce the drudgery of mankind, yet we should be intelligent enough to use such machines in away which will not retard the development of inherited instincts for "labor is mx county wan" IS HEARING JUDGE i. v i 10, ROBERTS C.

Heavens ordinance for human improvement' and “an idle brain is the devils workshop." The sudden change from hand labor to machine production, did not allow enough time for our nation to adjust itself to a new era: therefore, we are going through a period of adjustments, which in most cases are painful and carries with them many demands far unusual scarifices. In a minor way the same condition was evident after the invention of the self-reaper, over production of grain cairied with it the result of very low prices. In our present struggle we should not jump at hasty conclusions. since our government is made up of various professional units, each unit should do all within its power to carry' in-sofar as possible its own burdens. The big mistake that the different units of society are making at this time is the unreasonable mistake of trying to dump onto an overloaded government their burdens. We should remember that the stability of our democracy depends on our deep seated love for liberty. According to events recorded in history, we find that the majority of people under our form of government, while under an emotional strain, are often encouraged to swing too far out in the wrong direction. The hills and valleys of prosperity and depressions are proof of this statement. Each time that the pendulum swings back and forth, the complexities of governing a highly organized society increases. How far a free people should he allowed to go before they should be restrained by compulsory laws is a much debated questio nat this time. If we are willing to accept the luxuries and advantages of a mod- , ern age. which were made possible by the hardshipa snd sacrifices of s’urdy pioneer forefathers we should in the same spirit shoulder the disadvantages and responsibilities of our time and carry on for the benefit of future generations.
