Your dime or quarter will help some un-' fortunate war veteran be a little happier in his hospital room, it s a great cause. Be sure to chip In ' Neat Tuesday is Memorial Day when proper exercises will be b< Id. commemorating those soldiers for 1 whom taps have sounded. It is an occasion that should be sacredly and sincerely observed. Due of the best places we know of to enjoy the spring, is HannaNnttman park. where trees an budding, blossoming and leahng out and the birds are holding their annual convention of song and happiness. It is well for graduates this spring to remember that com mencement is the beginning of J your career and not the end of! your working period. It is natural to feel that you have completed the big Job but really you have just been gat ting ready to tackle QUC. Only about two months until the big auuual free street fair opens in this city and much to be done. Usually the merchants do | not try to lake advantage of the occasion aud its big crowds but in other places these affairs are marked by special sales that draw the people into the stores. We would like to see it done here. Every home in Adams county ought to receive the Daily in-mo • rat regularly. W» make every effort to secure the news, all of it, from over the county, from the court house, from every source available, give the state and the world news of Interest mid want your cooperation. Send us the 1 news and tell your neighbors to subscribe. Thirty-three men rescued Worn ' the submarine Bqualus on the hot tom of the ocean. 2iv leet below the surface, have had an expertenet they will never forget. Twenty-six of their comrades died before the rescue was made. It ( was the greatest, rescue of Its kind on record, due to the diving bell and the bruvpry of the divers j who operated it. Local police are watching traf-. ftc on the down town streets care fully and making an effort to enforce the ordinances as to parking double, overtime and exceed Ing speed limits. They should have your cooperation and sup port for it’s necessary that every one observe the laws and the rules it accidents are to be prevented

'and traffic made as convenient as possible. The ways and means commutes • in congress Is tired of being harrassed by congressmen who urge [J them to do one thing white telling the voters they favor the opposite 1 and have released the Townsend pension measure without recom- ’ mvndatlnn This will mean the ' congressmen will have to vote on , the measure, thus committing j themselves one way or the other. That will be a very Interesting rec-1 ord to ffle away. Pleas Greenlee will be named, collector of revenue for Indiana. I ‘ according to the latest dope- from , Washington. succeeding Will R. Smith who has held the plum for ' Ove or six years. The political 1 significance is not just plain but I evidently the senators and the leaders de* tiled this the best | choice under the circumstances.' Mt Greenlee is well known, has , Personality and ability and will j continue a power in Hoosier poll-1 | tic*. Mr. Dionne of North Bay. On-, tario. still sec-ms io teel he had I some thing to do with bringing the famous quints into the world and ' doesn t like the idea of old Doc j Dates* getting all the credit. More . I than that, he now claims he- has * been ridiculed by a performance J tiers club In New York, where Dr. ' l*afoe was recently initiated, wear-1 ■ ing a long white apron, bearing 1 the inscription, "doctor of litters" and carrying a cast* on which appeared the alluring advertisement. • "mass delivery." Dionne also says he will sue all New York aud Canadian newspapers which printed I the pictures of the affair. The- effort to build government highways that could be used as . military highways in ease of war, i seems to be gaining some support. It is proposed to build W.eoo miles ; of trunk roads, goo.oee mile* of minor feeds aud la.csto miles of streets, employing Ove million ■ meu. The coat is estimated at twelve billion dollars, which spread | out over twenty years would mean j an annual expenditure of Hihuhmi,000 which in these days does not alarm the average congressman. So tar the proposal has not gained i enough support to make it probable but evidently those who believe it the solution to the unemployment problem, intend to keep hammering away at it. Senator VauNuys has bought himself a farm in Virginia, twelve , miles out of Washington and will . live there, at least during his term in the upper house. Ou the farm is a houae built in 1780 aud it will no doubt be a popular and attractive place, but we are disappointed. We remember some yeats ago I when Fred was making a political speech here, just after ati election | in which John A. M. Adair had receive d every vote in North. Preble, he said that when he got | ready to retire, he Intended to come to tea ms county aud make his home in Preble township. Os course he may do that yet but we I are afraid his. Interests will be largely divided with his Virginia larm with all its history and scenery. Well, anyway, voters in Preble township and Adams conn-. ty hope he will enjoy rustic lite to the limit. Our congratulations to the ninety boys and girls who last evening , received diplomas from the Deca- | tur high school. That's a worthwhile honor that each han well earned mid prepares them well for ■ the work of life.-. Many of them will go on to high honors, all of > them we are sure will be better I able to serve because of the years they have spent as students in this j school. The services last evening , were excellent in every way aud the hundreds who attended enjoy:ed it all The able address by J Paul V. Barret? of Findlay. Ohio.
