Let's show the big city boys! Farming is the biggest < laasifled business in Adams county. Then - are About 2.20<) farms, with a population exceeding io,mm. and an investment in lands and buildings and personal property of more thau 17 million dollars From the farms of this county coin*- new wealth of more than five million dollars a year, a great industry to say the least Il interested in the city swiniliilnir |Miul problem, pass on yonr opinion to the < ity official*. The slate board of health has ruled that the present pool cannot be operated unless It Is revamped and remodeled and made sanitary. The question before the council is what to do with the old pool, abandon it entirely, repair It or build a new one? • - When yon speak of com and other gram crops, tattle. Ilogs, poultry, milk and cream, all of which are produced on our farms, you indirectly refer to the biggest investment in the t ounty. The standing and worth of the farina in Adams • ounty is something of which every person la proud and for acblevemeut. the farmers of thia tommuniiy tan bold tbelr place with the beat. Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the Agrii allure College In Ontario. Canada, formerly of Pardue Ini verSfty. will be the priucpal speaker al the farmer's banquet tonight.

Engineer Gilllotn is ready to start It as soon as weather conditions permit. It will provide employment for about 80 men and cover a territory of nearly 30 miles in different sections of the county. The highway department will pro vide the material and the men will have jobs during the spring, sum--1 tiler and fall months. The project ( Is estimated at 3M.5M. of which the larger part is for labor. I • Conservative estimates compiled • by County Agent Archbold and I other authorities on agriculture, i show tbe annual income on Adams j <ounty farms Io exceed 35.000.000 annually This estimate is based on i rop yield, new livestock raised and production, figured at an average price. Nome years farm income may Im- under that figure and In other peiiods exceed it by several percent. We do know we live in a flue county, with thrifty, hard working and able fanners, who through their efforts create new wealth from tile soil and keep the cycle of business aud commerce going. o—o GRUELING WAR WEATHER: Weather frequently has played an Important |>art in the determination of military campaigns The history of the world might rave been alteied if it had not rained on the morning ot June Di. 1315. Napoleon delayed opening lh<- battle until aiaiut 11 o'clock. That permitted Blucher to effect a junction with Wellington aud Waterloo sealed the doom ot the Little Corporal Winter, too had defeated him when he marched on Moscow Rain and high waler have influenced other great battles and , lampaigns. although rarely have I they exerted such decisive effect I on the fate of nations. Today, howI •■ver. the weather is proving a real factor In the current European struggle. Nome religious folk will lie convinced that Providence lias 1 been taking a hand in the detenu--1 inailon of the conflict. The cold wave sweeping Europe Is said to Ih oii< of the most devastating, numbing and tragic visitations in an entire century.
