Twin Dollar Days. Friday and Saturday In Decatur. A aurer way to lose money, other than horse racing, is to bet against Joe Louis or the New York Yanka. If you are value minded you'll be found among the Twin Dollar Day shoppers in Decatur, Friday aud Saturday. Adams county escaped from th« Fourth of July tragedy list, a favorable point iu the observance ol a glorious holiday. A comfortable chair, a cool drink, an entertaining story, aud you have a combination that makes the hot weather slip by. The wheal harvest is well underway and farmers are busy with the task. Under the hot afternoon sun, it's not au easy job either. The oats bugs are peaky insets and if you didu t know what they were, you might be scared that something even worse, lice, had lakeu a liking to you. Now is the time to buy. There's still nearly three months more of summer, values were never better •nd your dollar will do double duty on Twin Dollar Days. It it's any hotter in Washington than in Indiana, we doubt if th< senators and representatives can think In peaceful terms on the neutrality bill. A little vacation might be the way to Iran out dilft-, cult les and emerge with au agree- > able plan. Adams rounty has already received |74,000 from the state for its share of the state gas and auto license taxes. This money goes for the maintenance of county high ways and resurfacing of roads and indications are that thia year will produce as much money us a year ago. despite a cut In the division rale.

Swimming aud auto accidents load the causes of violent deaths It would be better If we had a holl-! day on death, rather than holidays that take lives. The county commissioners will prosc< ute anyone who dumps dead animals or chickens along the highway. Such an obnoxious practice cannot bo tolerated In a decent community and the commissioners should go the limit In prosecuting those guilty of such an act. if you see anyone doing such a revolting act report it tn the authorities.

i Much has already been written on the Roosevelt administration.* I but chances are the coming gonerIa I lon will be reading about it. The latest contribution to the Roosevelt period, up to the present, is being made by Raymond Moley. a former advisor to the president . I His articles are entertaining, al-1 though be takes a lot of credit un- I ; to himself for formulating the NewDeal policies. The past six years nave not been history making, but Mr. Roosevelt has br-en one of the I most forceful and romantic hgures of the age about whom to write.
