The U. S. senate went economic this week end turned down the house proposal for a $2,500 expense allowance for each member. Now congressmen will receive $12,500 per year while the senators will have to get along on their SIO,OOO. Bet that, doesn’t last long. D—O President Truman fe advising with former President Hoover on the food situation in this country and abroad. Mr. Hoover, it will be remembered had considerable experience along that line in the first world war and did a good job so it looks wise to consult him now. The important thing after all, is not politics, but what’s best for the people. O—O President Truman has proclaimed June 14th as Flag Day and urges that we observe it in honor of the fighting men whom we have supported on a hundred battle fields the past two years. He also asks that we display flags of our allies, especially fitting now when we are working with them to lay a firm foundation for world peace. O—O The Poppy eale here was a dandy and shows that we want to back the fighting boys in sickness as well as in health. More than 4,000 were sold and the receipts exceeded $539. That’s great and every one is happy and grateful for the tine response. The money goes to aid ailing or injured veterans and their families. o—u —— The crowd down town Tuesday evening enjoyed the first band concert of the season and the community is glad that the high school boys and girls will again provide this kind of entertainment during the summer. The band ateo played Wednesday morning for the Memorial services. They are good and you will enjoy hearing them. —O—o Thp.boys from the USS Helena inspired those who heard them here with their tales of life on the Pacific and on the islands off Japan. They made it clear that the war is a real one, with many dangers and with the need for brave men. And they also emphasized the need for continued support from the home front. Buy bonds and keen the sailors, marines and soldiers well equipped that they may soon finish the job and return to peace time duties. O—O Farmers are being warned against paying excessive prices for land if they wish to avert a smash such aa was suffered in the early twenties. Before the war the price of farmlands in the mid west was below its real value but it has advanced rapidly the past two or ( three years and economists see, danger of inflation that may prove disastrous. Those who go in debt should know they can meet payments and pay taxes and upkeep even if times get out of tune. O—O Graduates from the high schools of Adams county are now thinking seriously of the future. Many of them will have to answer the call of Uncle Sam but indications are that the war will end during the next year and then will come the teat for the young man or woman. The next decade will be a busy one with many opportunities for those who have the stamina and the eye to "hit the ball.” Choose constructive work and then devote yourself to learning to do your job a little better than the average. If you do that and practice thrift, you will reach the top of the ladder for opportunity never knocked louder for young people than it does today. Memorial Day was the most serious held in years, especially in the larger cities where men from the armed service assisted in the parades and public meetings to inspire every one to buy all the bonds possible that the war may
