that much more difficult. o—o Mon in tbe army who have fifty points will bo eligible to discharge by Now Years, good news for some •la hundred thousand. The board lias also ordered that no fathers, regardless of age, are to be Inducted through the draft method from now on The new order will make Christmas happier for a lot of people. —o Wo wish every one in Adams county and all who call this home, a Merry Christmas It should be the happiest In a number of years for most families. Let the bells ring out their message/! of Peace on Earth. Good Will Toward Men" and again thank God for the cud of wars and the brighter days ahead —o The Berne Foundation has secured possession of the Peter Lehman farm immediately west of the town and will convert it into a division for home building. The organisation is a non profit and home boosting association and building lots will be sold at coat to give those desiring to erect residences an opportunity to do so The property will be landscaped and every effort made to make it attractive. Those back of the movement believe it will aid in checking Inflation of

real estate and discourage poorly constructed houses The «xp./rltnent will be watched with interest by many other communities. —o— Intelligence Work:Tha popular notion Is all wrong. Tbe State Department's foreign In telligence staff Includes neither "beautiful blonde-i who can worm secrets out of foreign officials, nor people who put on false whiskers and crawl out from under the bed " So Under secretary Dean Acheson told a ilouso of llepresentative* sub-committee allotting funds to the department. How then does the intelligence service get Its Infirrmatiun? Far more prosaically. Beading does most of the work. The material examined include* telegrams, newspaper articles, serious books, reports of business and labor organisations, and account* of public meetings and radio broadcasts All these when pieced together and .studied are found to yield a surprising amount of information. This I* supplemented by Interviews and conversations with typ ical citizens of the foreign countries studied. But it is too had to spoil the traditional romantic picture of foreign spy work. —o Rest For Rulers:American presidents are not the only national leaders criticised

for taking an occasional vacation. Some British prime ministers have been unduly tempted by Chequers, a country house 35 mile* northwest of Lontton. given to the nation In HIT as a place of rest and relaxation for the head ot the government. Ram»ey MacDonald, tbe first prime minisfor of the Labor parly, regularly spent two dsys a week there, to the detriment ot public business, to.rd Haldane, one of hl* cabinet, testified to the dlff lenity of finding his superior when bl* opinion was needed. Ho thought that I ji hor premiers who were not ! used to the luxurious life of country estates were pecularily apt to yield to its temptations. Probably I Prime Minister Attlee has been warned of this.

Some Briton* and mere outsider* have shaken their head* over the four “bank holidays" ot tbe year, extra long week-end* on which no government business as a rule I* done. Kaiaer Wilhelm scheduled more than one international crisis for a bank holiday because tbe leading British ofllcial* would not bo on the fob to interfere. High goveument ofllcial* need rest and seldom get it. The president's is one job In perticular from which he almost never get* relief Tbe human system cannot stand this indefinitely. —o—o Legitimate Joys:The young who can rattle off all the movie star* and the picture* In which they appeared will have no memories ilka those of today's oldster* who are able to call up glorious hours watching David Belasco’a “Music Master” and the “Auctioneer" unfold on the legitimate stage.

I so in retrospect, because ot tbe beloved actor David Warfield who performed "In per»un" and befit that personality radiantly across the footlights It all came back the other day to theater goer* of yesteryear with a small news item telling how Warfield spent Ids 7»tb birthday, by "rising early, having a nice breakfast, spending some time at the Lambs' Club, and then to bed." Warfield lives where be has lived since W1 io an apartment at Central Park West, io New York City. The birthday routine was no different from that ot any other day, for Mr. Warfield, like some other people, doesn't enjoy being reminded of birthdays any mure. And what tbe oldsters who read tho notice didn't like either was tho statement that he's been retired since 1P24. It doesn't seem possible that 21 years have passed •Ince they sat at his feet, looked on the delightful acenes of the “Music Master", listened to Warfield's mellifluous voice — and watched his expressive hands. GOP STATtfCONFAB (Ceetleeed Frees Fag* Peel be selected In precinct balloting during the May primaries next spring. At yesterday's committee meeting. Governor Gate* said that unity prevailed in the Indiana GOP. He warned, however, that it would be necessary for tbe party to "keep shoulder to (boulder" to maintain harmony during tbe 194# election campaign. Jenner told the committee that the state Republican organixatlon was "closely-knH" and "tbe envy ot the middlewest and tbe United States because of close harmony and its ability to work out problems with little friction." ■ -"'0 ■— Roller Skating Christmas night, Dec. 25.
