The gasoline shortage will not bring any governmental rationing plan. Congress is going to adjourn and in peace-time It's doubtful if any coupon method would work, much less be obeyed. When the pumps are dry, the motorist will have to drive his car to the next station to see if the attendant can "flii-er-up.” o— —o Canning authorities say that the tomato crop is dependent on hot, dry days. Planting in the state cover thousands of acres and Indiana Is noted as one of the leading tomato producing acres in the country. In the immediate vicinity, the operation of the new plant in this city and the one at Preble, have caused the increase in tomato acreage. o— —« I Charles Morgan, a veteran of World War I. will bead Adams Post 43 of the American Legion, as commander, assuming office in | August. Erlends of the newly elscted-commander predict another year of growth and useful service for the Post under his leadership. He sucecds Tom Smith, who has served with distlactlon during the past year. Q O Ralph W. Ixibaugh. the Kokomo factqry worker who first confessed to three savage murders and then repudiated his confession, will have to prove to the Jury that he is not guilty of the alleged crimes If he wants to escape the electric chair. The Alien county grand jury has indicted him for the murder of three Fort Wayne women, based on his admittance of having perpetrated the hideous acts. His repudiations may have been a smooth scheme to confuse public opinion, once he learned that he was a "dead duck" if proved guilty. O—O era in labor-management administration through the provisions of the Taft Hartley bill, Americans should remind themselves that the majority rules in this country. Congressional acts become the laws of the land, and although a minority may not agree, good sportsmanship calls for teamwork. Industrial management and union leaders can help the country by "playing ball,” for no law, even a parking ordinance ever meets with 100 per cent approval. This

(country is too great to be bogged down with disputes and controversies. We must live together ♦ and work out our destines in the spirit that the people elect our representatives to the congress and that amendments or modifications can be made to any law. o o Columbia University in New York City will continue to be one of the nation's leading educational nstltutions and take on new luster with the election of General Dwight D. Elsenhower ks.its presl dent General Eisenhower will lay aside the uniform for bis academic robes next year. In the opinion of Americans, the university's trustees could not have selected a more capable man. Columbia Is a great school with Its 30.000 enrollment, and 87 million dollar endowninent. In the latter respect it is outdone only by Harvard and Yale Universities. General Omar Bradley, at present administrator of the Veteran's Administration, may succeed General Eisenhower as chief of staff. o o— In a ten year period Adams county has ( limbed to 85th place in a list of 100 of the leading soybeangrowing counties in the United States. That is a splendid record. For the year 1944, this county is credited with harvesting 645,000 bushels of soybeans, which brought new wealth from the soil. The ' soybean has been favored here since the estafflishment of the Central Soya Company in 1934, which provides a ready cash market for the product. It is a crop that ties-in with corn production and even this year, despite unfavorable weather conditions, the acreage devoted to soybeans is large. Those big silo-type *to ruga bint at the north edge of the city are indicative of a great industry, one of the largest of its kind in the country and proof also that local fanners help grow soybeans to till them. o o A picture of Russian operations near the Caspian sea shows gigantic piles of chemicals "harvested" from the bottom of the sea, to be used as fertiliser on Soviet farms. The beds of rivers, lakes and oceans contain vast riches which once covered the earth. Reclaiming such minerals and restoring them to the impoverished food-producing fields is a major must for most nations. It 4s not only in the countries of Europe and Asia that there is a crying need for fertilizers. The United States has been profligate of its vastly valuable earth-strength. The topsoil has been allowed to syphon itself off into every rivulet and stream until there exist in this country great stretches of arid land. Agriculturists are bent on restoring the wealth stolen from the soli by nature.
