More warm weather is on the way. -0 The fields ill thia county look much better as the result of ruin'! the fast week and in many nii-i the crops will be better than si-etu-! ed possible a few days ago. The air forces will need 700,000

ton* of bomb* for the re»t of this year, it in estimated. That’s another reason we must buy more bonds and hold what we have. The war Is not over. —o he lack of rain and the extreme h--at do not seem to have stunted the tomatoes this year. Reports are tliat the crop in Adams county will )>• the largest and best ill year*. —o Vi« hy leaders have flown to Berlin, according to announcements. Os ail the places to go for safety that’s perhaps the worst they could have chosen for a half dozen armies of the Allies are also headed there. —o Bulgaria has had enough of her partnership with th- Axis and as in the first world war now wants to get on the band wagon, ft will help a little but the Allied hmdera perhaps don’t particularly care what they do. —o That relief from the <-xtr< me heat which < ante over the w<-<-k was appreciated by about every one. Few summers have had such a continuous stretch of sizzling temperatures. The break gave every one a chance to catch up on sleep. -0 Th- southern Indiana peach crop Is one of the largest in history, according to reports from Purdue Mure than 125,<W0 bn -beta were marketed last week H<x**ier housewives are taking advantage of th- I market to guard against high prices next winter and to save ration points —o The Gallop poll shows .Massachuett*. New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island favor Roueevelt and even In Maine and Vermont the vole is closer than in previous years al this season.

a hen the war in Europe will end The conflict will not cease until victory is won and no one can tell when that will be. It may come quickly or it may drug along several months but each day brlns* us nearer to that great day. O—O— The political campaign will open in about two weeks. At that time national -peakers will begin their tours and In almost every county plans for local drives are now being made to start in September. The ;>olls are being taken and interest will grow as the big contest draws near to the finishing line of November 7th. —o It is estimated Ih.r 21UHW flights aeros.i the Atlantic have been made -ini e the war began, most of them by planes for delivery for battle action. Most folk remember the thrill they got in 1927 when Char-i lea A. Lindbergh made the first successful trip. Since th'll tilladvancement has been rapid.: Wonder what the next -evellte* ii | years will bring along that line. -0 Piesident Roosevelt knows th" | world situation as well as any man living and is qualified to do th* best lor all the people if this country i- making peace. He has not only the knowledge but the courage, is a good American and is fair in hi:, decisions. He demonstrates these facts each day and is gain

Mist Weidler succeeds I Mrs. Hugh Andrews, resigned and. H and Mr Ross will take the place y of Harold Mumma who resigned to i enter business with his father in the Decatur Lumber Company We wish all of them the best success and the greatest happiness. —o r Ballots should b< on their way ! to members of the armed forces I by the latter part of this week. • Secretary of State Rue Alexander says the ballots have been seut to all louuty clerks who will immediately mail them to those who i have properly applied Local bal i lots have been printed here and I will go with the state and federal ( ballots. Returns may be coming ■ In soon. —o It’s not too early to be planning a program for 1915 that will keep every one busy. We should map out what we want and go after It. A new highway or two. improvements by the city, an addition to the hospital, improvements to business and dwelling buildings, ami many other things should be in our minds How much ot it can be done next year Is not definite but the sooner we get busy the anoro we will accomplish. —o It s not going to be a very merry Christmas for anyone concerned if ills- gifts which you’re now so lovingly selecting for your serviceman overseas arrive smashed—or not at ail. And that’s what’s likely to happen, according to the poxtmast- • r general, if they aren’t wrapped strongly Package mail takes an awful banging between your house and it* overseas destination. Ho keep the package of shoebox size, but make the box of wood, metal, or fiberboard, securely wrapped. And no shoeboxes! —o W* have beard too many diagnoses ot the cause of juvenile delinquency and 100 few cures. Most authorities, selgatyled and other wise, agree tnat the fault lies with the parents. But the city of Han rranciaco la doing something about it Parents of delinquents, or those charged with neglect and bad family behavior, are ’'sentenced’' by a juveaile court to eight tortures on how to rear children.

uriAi ilL.l* 1 rilib l i IN THE COLD, clear light of morning and reason, Beth's idea, bom in the .lawn, looked as wild and impossible as a plan to take up torch singing, or set up any business; it required experience and capital She abandoned it on these grounds, but when Mrs. Eichel asked her if she could have a few wonts with her privately a few nights later, the seed .blossomed into full flower. ’ Sit down, my dear." Mrs. Eichel, a large, matronly lady, invited, clearing a space on a faded green plush rocker. The mom would have been more livable If more spa<ea had been cleared. It w t filled with the sort of enveloping and overwhelming furnishings that made the living room depressing. Brown and green, in faded and sickly tones, were the color motif. Th. re was a preponderance of large lamps, with silk-fringed shades designed to retain the light, meaningleas pictures in h.avy frames, and mounds of sofa pillows bearing embroidered flowers, Indian heads and pine needles. Beth found h*rae|f thinking of what she would <io with a big room like that, of ways that she could convert the present furnishings into something cheerful and homelike. Mrs Eichel cleared her throat. "Beth, I don’t know how to say this, because I am very fond of y ou and Andrea, and I knov that lh !2f,* " re har ‘ l l™ you right now " We re doing fine, Mrs. Eichel I d<>n t mind sleeping on the cot at "It Isn't that." Her landlady’s expression was embarrassed, and she hurried on. "It’r just that-well y wi "re, all my girls are unmarried working girls and . . , ftn .| Am drea will be having her baby in a few months." 7 Beth nodded, wondering what was coming. "I'm very fond of children, but even a small baby in a house like I think . . . that is, If you haven't »nv other plans . . ' I understanil." Beth said. Mrs Eichel looked much relieved I was sure you would. Os course rou have plans '' Ib*th said, "None.
