Join the happy crowd. This is the week for tax paying, a job that always causes us to feel wrought up but after all one that should be a usual business affair. If we are getting our moneys worth and in this county we are tare we are. If we realise that we are paying for roads, schools, draluage and all the other things that make this s delightful community in which to live. It should be such a setious incident as msuy heneve it Is. Phillip La Pol telle, former gover- f aor of Wisconsin, who has just returned from a visit In Germany, where he claims to have gotteu hack of the sceues. says 75 percent of the people of Germany are ' against Hitler.

A local t ltli> it. genuinely Interested In Adams county, calls our attention to the fact that If a lire was to start In the court house bssemeut and gain much headway, there would be great danger of many very Important records be-1 tng destroyed. What confusion | that would cause In the years lo J come. Our Informant suggests j that a Wt*A project that would I result In a Ore-proof public record ! building that would preserve the I -old rec ords in the offices of the ! auditor, recorder, sheriff, clerk . treasurer, school superintendent. I . assessor aud surveyor, would be s wotidetful protection aud would permit the use of the present court bouse as offices for years to come. Much a building might cost ffo.ouw or ISo.uoo but forty-five per cent of the amount could be aecttred by a federal grant. It’s s thought worth while for the loss of these records might effect the title to every piece of property in the county. INDIANA FARMERS APPROVE: Seventy per cent of htdtsM farmers have approved the agricultural program. Heretofore they continued lo sell la a competitive market and buy lu a protected market. The administration set about to again restore the farmer to nu equal Idsis with industry. They have dually found a formula that appeals to the tanners. as evidenced by the number who have signed AAA contracts for the coming year. There is nothfng compulsory about the program. There Is mi regimentation of farmers. Hut there Is the long view which will restore the wilt and permit the world to eat when It becomes more and more populated. The plan will give tired soil a rest until It can be made produc|tive. It will offer lo those who permit the use of their seres for • hlsp urpoae. May 1 ends opportunity for i farmers to lake advantage of the 1939 AAA program. It Is expect ed that another 10 per cant wilt , study aud understand Us advaut--1 ages. Any program that can obtain 75 per cent to agree upon Its soundness aud Americanism vindicates Itself. The more the farmer studies this plan the better he- likes the Democratic way ol government. — — o--- — I’ublic Sale Wednesday — w"? ‘.ucrniwy heifers. 100 head feeding cattle (ateers ! and heifers). also ratlk cows, hogs and sheep.
