Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere. at any and all times. Picking the primary winners is now the most popular sport. Don't knock your community. It never pays. Boost for those things that are best for all and help the other fellow along. You will be happier and so will he. After a week of ball playing it looks like the Pittsburgh Pirates will have to be headed off and that it may not be as easy as it seemed it would be, when discussed around the corner stove. Spring seems to be definitely here and farmers report the outlook fine. They are getting the ground ready for corn, beets, oats, beans and other crops and the wheat crop never looked better. Adams county has an excellent welfare organization that is working smoothly and at the lowest cost possible under the law. The main thing is they are doing the job assigned to them and doing it well. The final rush of tax paying is on and the county treasurers office is the busiest one in the court house these days. The sooner you do it now, the easier it wi'l be and the less time you will have to stand in line. Don't hand over your money to solicitors for this newspaper unless the representative can show you his authority and prove his identity. The old “working my way through college” gag should not catch any one these days. You should pay no attention to anonymous letters. If the sender is not brave enough to sign his name, it's a loss of time to even read a letter. Any one can say any thing he may have in his mind, true or untrue, if he doesn’t have to substantiate it. Election returns will be received at this office Tuesday evening and we will be happy to serve you by answering telephone calls and by posting the returns in the windows. We assure you it is a pleasure to thus serve the fine citizens of the best city and county in America. The campaign is nearing the close and interest is gaining each day. You owe it to yourself as a good citizen to exercise your right of suffrage. Vote early and see that your neighbors do and vote for those candidates you believe will best serve you and your community. The state will Improve Second and Winchester streets and Mercer Avenue this year and will improve Monroe street and the other routes of 224 next year, making a valuable contribution to the city.

will begin soon and this with other Improvements in the city and county should help solve any unemployment problem we have. Don't talk bad times unless you don't want them to get better. Much of what you hear is propaganda pure and simple. Check up most lines of business and you will find them off only slightly over last year which was the banner one in a long time. There is really nothing to cry about. Os course we all want it better and if we work at it, we can have it. Well, well, Jim Watson is against the national and state administrations, according to a speech made j at Irvington the other evening. , That's certainly startling and ought j to frighten every citizen in the . state in to voting for this old standpatter who in forty years of I public service voted against every . thing the Democrats proposed and for every thing the Republicans favored, right or wrong. If you want to post yourself on what the automotive industry is doing and planning to do for to-. morrow's America get a copy of ’ the Automotive Daily News of the i 22nd. During the past few years they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars and the plans of the great corporations for the next year or two are so stupendous as to be startling. With such business leadership, this country is bound to progress. Senator Gottschalk is still a popular figure here although he j has gone places and done things. I He still retains his fondness for' the best county in the state and ; his discussion of facts pertaining , to his important work, at last eve-1 ning’s banquet, was of great inter- 1 est to all who listened to him, giv- ■ ing them facts and thoughts that j he has gained by experience and are new to many who have not' listened to the inside story from those who are doing this great , humanitarian job. A INDIANA'S STATE HIGHWAYS: Indiana has more miles of high type paved roads in proportion to its area than any state in the union, with the single exception of Illinois, which spent more than | $300,000,00(1 in bond issues in building her roads. Only eight other states have more miles of first I class paved roads regardless of! their size. These states in order l of their mileage are Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. High type paving is either concrete, asphalt or bituminous concrete, costing $20,000 or more per i mile. All of Indiana's 9,000-mile | highway system, excepting 1,000 miles of gravel, have some kind of pavement, such as black top. Half the gravel roads are treated to do away with dust and mud. | Indiana has 4.600 miles of high type pavement, while Michigan, the center of the automobile industry and almost twice our size, has only 600 more miles of this type pavement. Ohio has 6,100 miles ‘ of first class paving, of which 2,800 are concrete, 1,600 bituminous concrete and 1,700 asphalt. When it comes to good roads Indiana stands second to none. To bring Indiana's roads to almost perfect condition it is estimated that $30,000,000 should be expended in the next two years. Os this amount $7,000,000 is needed for rebuilding 231 miles of paving; $20,000,000 for widening 573 miles of 18 and 20-foot paving into, three and four-lane roads, while the remaining $3,000,000 should be spent for relocations. This is not a huge sum, considering that the state has something like $15,000,000 a year for construction on state highways. Besides these improvements $10,000,000 is needed for widening or rebuilding 527 bridges. Our needs are only a fraction of what most of the above named states need to bring their entire system up to modem standards. — New Castle Courier-Times.
