Don't pay any attention to them. -0 Then will be a number of Ih-tiio-oeaifc meeting* over the county thia week .md next. Read the schedules as they appear and attend one or more of them.

ed during and between election campaigns that it was ruining the country and destroying our American way of lite. To date we are neither ruined nor has our way of life been destroyed." — Liberty Magazine. —o The Gallop poll gives the electoral votes in thirteen southern and border states to Roosevelt, a total of 148. which looks like a good start. Missouri and Maryland are reported close. The latest survey shows a big gain In Kentucky for thv president where he now holds a 55 to 45 edge although the previous poll showed it very close. —o Football is having its inuings now as we reach the mid-season and the week ends furnish exciting encounters. .Many stars of the past few years are now taking a leading roll in the war, proliting from their experiences on the gridiron. General Marshall was a star in his old < allege days and many others gained fame by carrying the ball. —o The Indiana alcoholic beverage commission has Issued an urgent request to all permit holders.

They say "V-E day is not a day for hilarity or celebration rather it should be a day for thankfulness and solemnity." —o Keep up your efforts to prevent fire, it's something we all should

work at each day of the year. Most fires are preventable. Statistics show that to be true. A cigarette stuli carelessly tossed aside, neglect in taking care of flues or of wiring and other similar causes are liatn-d most. A little extra effort will save many lives and millions of dollars worth of property. -0 Farm machinery will be obtainable for next year according to latest information from Washington. President Roosevelt has ordered the WI’B to provide this in Its reconversion program and that organization has agieed. The farmers have done a wonderful work in producing the greatest crops in history but to do so have used their machinery to the limit. As a result many replacements will lie necessary. —o Tlie election will be on three weeks from today. It is your privilege and your duty to vote. Take an interest in your government. The next tour years are mor.- Important than the average person probably realizes. How and when the war is ended, what the peace terms are. how we convert to peace times, how we provide the best for all the people? These are some of the questions up to you. Help get out a large vote in Adams count/ —o Restarts from General .MacArthur and Admiral Nlmitz show clearly why the Japanese government officials have been holding numerous conferences the past week. Their navy and their air force has been badly shattered If not almost completely wiped out. No nation can long stand up under the terrifle heatings Japan has received the past week. American forces will soon control the Philippines again and the advance from that point to one of real assistance to China should not take long. —o — Need a new shot gun or rifle? You may have the chance to get one next spring. The War Production Hoard has authorised the manufacture of <85.000 for farmers. ranchers, police and other law enforcement officers. They are expected to be on the market by June K*th next.
