The war won't be over until yo 1 find a wad of chewing gum under the seat at the theater. —o Hoys who engage in stealing are sure to be caught eventually and sthcn they are in real trouble. Besides what happens at the time. Sfiiey get a bad start for its difficult Ho’live down a bad reputation. 3? o—o - Eighty years ago this week we ore emerging from the Civil wav. Jji-e had surrendered and the nation , A waa planning to rebuild, get back to normalcy and try to make up for H lhe terrible loss. Il required many rfearfi but we did it aud we can do it again. -0 Only three pieties of property were offered at the Adams county delinquent sale and they must not have been worth the taxes and penalties since not a single buyer offered a bid. It all adds up to the fact that the delinquencies here were nil. —o Now it’s time to really get busy *lm a Victory garden. Hundreds 'have been planted but there are still some to be put in. The agridepartment. anticipates "that forty percent of the food re- ■ quired this year must be thus produced. —o • One commentator who thinks we coddle war prisoner# too much in this country suggests that we bring home Yanks who have been held in the camps of Germany and place them in charge of Atterbury and other places where the prisoners, are held. -0 Help to make the unfortunate people in the war areas more comfortable by contributing to the clothing drive soon to be started in this county. Coals and other articles of dress that have been discarded because of style of slightly worn Will provide luxuriously for those who need clothing to keep them warm and comfortable. —o—o Prospective ear purchasers are now- busy with suggestion,? for improvements including an extra windshield wiper for the rear window, a Hiree-door car instead of four to prevent youngsters rolling out and many pther ideas. The average person will be happy just to have a new car even if the frills are overlooked. .. —o—o -- Beylin is again reporting that 'he Russian drive on Berlin is about to etart but after all they (lou t give the orders that carry the Reds forFor «epy W liw Hu Decatur < in DailkDetffocrat The Btopback r on each evening

ward and in most instances their guesses have been bad. tn this case however they may be right. When Joe Stalin give# the order, the forward march will be on and won’t slop until the capitol city has been taken over. —o Senator Joseph F. Guffey ot Pennsylvania will be the speaker at the Jefferson Day- dinner, at the Claypool hotel meeting tomorrow evening. Fort Wayne is also having one of tile ten dollar per plate events. While honoring the founder of the Democratic party, the idea also includes the raising of funds with which to make Democracy live. o—o If you know of any men or women from this county who have enlisted in the armed service without going through the selective board, please notify Adams Post, No. 43. American Legion. They wish to have every name on their honor roll and will appreciate your cooperation. O—O Perhaps some of Hie European

countries will want to keep tie American engineers there to help them rebuild. F'om Stalingrad io the Atlantic coast a thousand cities lie in ruins and the out'ook is gloomy. The Yanks who have built roads and buildings and bridges in a few days could no doubt be used to advantage but they will prob ably also be needed and wanted at home. O—O Fitly the millions of men and women who have been used a* slave labor in Germany the past three years. They have been diiren and punished and poorly eared for. Many of them are broken in spirit and health. They are free now and are trudging back to their home lauds without hope of much relief. It will require several years to bring smiles to the faces o, these .people and it may never be possible unless outside help is given. -0 Lewis and the operators signed an agreement shortly after Ickes took over some 235 soft coal mines, it certainly doesn’t look like th best kind of cooperation to win the war. If they could do it then, they surely could have reached their agreements a week before and prevented the loss of millions of man hours and prevented several steel plants from going down. It was the fourth time since the war began that the government had o assume control. O—O Tentative plans under way to erect a community building in Decatur as a memorial to the men and women of the city who are serving in the armed forces dining the second world war. While it is so far only wishful thinking, we are sure it will develop into a reality. The sponsors are tile Community Fund officers aud a cotnmitte.e> is now engaged in a preliminary survey. They will report soon and it is hoped will decide to go forward as rapidly as possible. As Walter Krick, Hated in his explanation and discussion of the project, ‘•there Ino better way to build a living monument to the men and women of the armed forces than through the erection of such a building. We are sure the community in general will give moral support and financial aid if given the opportunity. —o Getting Ready: Highly ierrtihiehl plans for postwar employment may or may not bring homo the bacon. Most of them include Federal aid, which necessarily implies Federal management. it probably is wise to be thinking about what Uncle Sam can do to encourage employnieat after, the wer. • i ■ .

11l the meantime, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey has| come up with a plan that hits the' returned veteran'.? desire for a Job > right on the nose. Standard Oil | says that any discharged soldier' who wants to go into the filling station business should apply to Standard Oil. It is ready to spend up to $3,000 a veteran to build him a filling station. The money will be a loan to the GI. His own character and willingness to work hard in building a business of his own will be the only collateral'required, and the veteran need not pledge himself to sell .Standard products. The company has allocated 55,000,000 for the project. If that desn’t take care of ail the discharged soldiers who want to go into the filling station business. the company will find additional funds from which to make loans. — Indianapolis Star. — —o > , • ► Twenty Years Aqo i Today o 1 r at April 12. 1925 wag Sunday. — p — k Modern Etiquette 4 i ,^pppEBTA ; I.Eg |; J *—’ Ky VS - " • 9 ■ ■ Q.
