Ludlow has served a long time and baa proven himself a great public servant. Ho wherever they put bim on tbe map, tbe chances are be will come through with a majority aa long as be wants to continue. -0 We are concluding our annual campaign for the renewal of subscriber* who receive th* paper by mail. Postal regulations require that these be paid la advance If we desire to take advantage ot tbe low second class rates. Ol bar wise the eoat of mailing would be more than mar charge tor the paper. We will appreciate vary much if you will assist us by renewing promptly. 8o far the record made to ike beet to aH our ikirty-eight years

and we are bopfag thto will con tian* uatil tbs record to 100*1. Wo doubt that petttli.aa address *d to members of congress or the logislaturv srs worth the effort. I'sually they are Bled and few give any attention to what they ask or propose. If you wi«n to really use your influence, yon will write the representative ur senator a personal letter, stating your position and your reasons for same. He will really consider that but when thousand* of names are signed to something, it usually goes Its way into the archives without any «ne knowing much about It or who signed It. ——to—to- — The drive In Adam* county for fund* for the Bght aganist Infantile paralysis resulted In a net of ,17*<* Half of that amount will be kept here, Increasing the fund on hand* to SJS3 and the other half will be sent to national headquarter* to be nm-d tn scientific research John DeVoss, who acted as c ounty chairman. and his assistants. Bevenn He burger. .Mrs. Mary Brigg- D O Htauffer and Paul Bahn-r deserve c ommendation for tbeir effort* and they join In offering their sincere thank* to all who cooperated in this worthy cause —to An Indiana law passed in U’-l* requires county highway supervisors or other responsible authorities to cut down all weeds when with in the limits of any county high I ways. This act gives the ofllc lai* until Heptember 1 for performance I of this duty but everyone know- | that weed*, sprouts and other oh- 1 noxious growth can fa-rome a per-' loan obstruction especially at road I intersections long before the Hep- , tember 1 deadline. One cutting before July I and another about i Augucct 15 would improve roadside . appearance, help the farmer with hl* wend problem* aud do much toward elimination of motor accidents. —Fanner's Guide. B-g If every thing happen* that has been predicted by the witnesses who appeared before the house and senate committee on the lease-land bill hearing, tbe world Is sunk regardless ot what I* the result ot ■ the vote on the- measure We don’t | believe some of It. Home day the , war will cease from exhaustion If ' for no other reason and this nation will go forward as It always has with new project* and new ideals. Europe will gradually fight Its way hack to normalcy, China and Japan will adjust differences aud the ' world will go on. That may be wishful thinking but It’s our honest opinion lu the meantime we will be wise to build adequate defense for land and sea. keep out of trouble as much as we can and continue to hope for the glad day when peace will be declared over all tbe world. —fa The “grab fur power aud plunder” of the- legislature is viewed with alarm by The Indianapolis Times, an independent newspaper. Pointing out that under a <loe.k ot decentralising government, the Republican* are pursuing a ruthtess course to setae public jobs for "the faithful." The Time* say*, in part: “The real objective* are apparent despite the desparate efforts of such spokesmen as Rep. Frank T. Mllii*. Republican flour leader, to identify tbe current reorganisation program with 'the mandate of tha people as expressed In the general election tost November.' If last November s vote was a mandate, which we doubt. It was not for tbs sorry program now being enacted. The truth of tbe matter la that much ot tbe reorganisation program was so hastily and *o ill drawn that no one is yet sure that ft Is In trustworthy shape. Hardly a day pusses that some new 'boner* to not discovered. If Hie Lord dosn'l seud tbe Indiana Republicans a leader, and send bim quickly. It will be a sad day lor Indiana."
