The little Queen of May will be a college queen in a few more years. Start buying Savings Bonds in the Opportunity Drive for her education. —o —o — The late Will Rogers, the ropetwirling humorist and beloved American, had the answer for speeding motorists. His advice was, "Start 15 minutes earlier.” His son once forgot that advice and it cost Junior, S4O in police court. —o —o — French women, it Is reported, have heard so much about the mechanical conveniences of American civilization that they believe we even have electric baby-sitters. Well, that is something for our inventive genius to work on. o o— In the Middle Ages disputes were occasionally settled by single combat between appointed champions, one of each side. That might be one way of settling our present disputes in the world. But who would have the courage to be referee? , —o o— — What remains of the maple tree in the northeast corner of the court house quadrangle is about to give up the ghost. The one remaining limb is slowly losing signs of life and eventually the unsightly stump will have to be removed. A cluster of birch trees could replace the maple, someone suggested. Princess Elizabeth, heir to the British throne, probably wonders if there is any advantage in being the next queen of England. Her mansion is ready, but the labor goverment will not issue a permit for fireproof materials needed to finish the movie theater in the future residence of the royal couple and little Prince Charles Philip. Such is austerity in ol’ England. o o— Geologists claim that the water table, the source of supply for municipal and industrial water wells, has not declined to any great extent. This is encouraging news to municipalities, where ■ concern over future supply has been expressed. The water level has been reduced in some areas, due to heavier use, but it seems that the Good Lord has mined the earth with a sufficient supply in this part of the country.

If the ideal appointment to an office is a man who knows more about the duties of the office than anyone else, Prof. Henry DeWolf Smyth of Princeton University, the new member of the Atomic Energy Commission, is the perfect choice. His book on the military uses of atomic energy. punished by the War Department and popularly known as the Smyth Report, was deemed by many to be the most important book of 1945, and probably of many a year. President Truman must wish that all vacancies in office could be as perfectly filled. r O 0 Hoosier friends of Mrs. Wendell Willkie and son Philip, the latter a member of the Indiana General Assembly, were relieved to learn that injuries received by them in an auto accident were not serious. Mrs. Willkie, a woman of grace and charm was the most severely injured, but will be able to leave the hospital in Cam- ' bridge, Ohio, in a few days. The accident occurred while the famous Hoosiers were ehroute home from New York. ——o o Adams County farms, stretching across many acres, are a picture of beauty and. evidence of the farmer's “know-how” in cultivation. The fields have been plowed and harrowed and in many cases already planted to corn and soybeans. The wheat and oats fields are a carpet of green. One is impressed with the fact that so many trees dot the farms in this section of the country. This county is not only a wonderful place in which to live, but it has as much real beauty as any part of the country. Besides it produces more than it can consume, rich in fer- » tility, energy and productivity. —o o— Cure For Blues: The "blues” may strike a person during these blossoming spring days and one may forget the beauty that is all about. Rebecca Burris, writing in Your Life magazine, has a cure for this depressed feeling: Want a cure for the blues? Things are bad, say. Very, very, very bad. In fact, things are terrible., Well, take the amount of terribleness things are and double it. Now they're frightful, aren’t they? Now take the amount of frightfulness things are and multiply it by itself This gives you the square of frightfulness, which is hideous. The square ot hideousness is ghastly. Thj square of ghastliness is—but by now you’re starting to grin. I Confound it, things aren't that bad, are they? As a matter of fact, thefre hardly bad at all.

Final Drivfe Planned By Cancer Society A final drive in Berne, Monroe and Geneva and among the various clubs and lodges for contributions for the Adams county ■cancer society was started today, Thurman Drew, chairman of the Adams county drive announced. Adams county still needs about S3OO to meet its annual quota, Mr. Drew pointed out, and this county never has failed to oversubscribe. There is no drive in Decatur for i funds because the society is part | of the community fund here. ] Lodges and clubs are solicited for contributions because many members are not Decatur re.t: twits, and more than half of the local organizations already have contributed. Clifton Sprunger is chairman of the drive in Berne and Harold Mattox is chairman of the Geneva drive, contribution boxes have been placed in several stores in the two towns and it is hoped that the quota will he oveUsubscribed by the lend of this week, Mr. Drew said.

car m America whose name and crest hare been reserved • exclusively for care of the very highest character, ft h the only fine-car name that has meant the same-far decade after decade. This year, the Cadillac name has a special luster—for Cadillac cars are powered by a great new V-type engine—the creative masterpiece of Cadillac’s renowned engineering divtsion. Performance is so brilliant, from every standpoint, that it simply must be experienced in order to be believed. . Why not experience it yourself? You are welcome in our showrooms at any time.

At an appearance in Bow Street court yesterday Eisler was ordered held in Brixton prison without bail for a hearing one week from today on an American request for his extradition. Maw said that one of the cables came back with a notation that the addressee was not known. He added that he knew it wasn’t true and the situation raised the possibility that U. S. authorities were interfering with his inquiries. The Warsaw radio reported that still another Polish protest had been made against the removal of Eisler from the Batory. The radio said the protest demanded that the i British release Eisler and apoloI gize. A foreign office spokesman here I insisted that Britain had ached: I legally.

Bronk told’the house senate atomic energy committee. But he promised, as chairman of the na> tional research, council, not :.o let it happen again.

Ark., a member of the tax-writ-ing house ways and means committee, proposed a plan for increasing government tax revenues by about $5,000,000,000 in the first six • months of 1950. Under his pro--1 posal, corporations, estates, trusts and non resident aliens would be • required to pay their taxes within 1 six months after the end of their i taxable year. At present, they are > allowed 12 months. Mills said, his ! plan would help balance the 1950 budget without a tax increase.

Car# of Thanks We sincerely thank the relatives, friends, neighbors, Dr. Jones, and Rev.

From Wage One) dies have been rtmetet recently from the plant and auto makers have set up their own brake manufacturing units. Packard Motor Co. announced it would resume production tomorrow, using brakes made with the replevined dies, Scanlon said the charges with the NLRB would be filed against Willys, Hudson, Nash and Packard. He charged that removal of the dies was a "new version of the runaway plant doctrine.” He said the Taft-Hartley act prohibited an employer from moving his plant tn avoid collective bargaining duties. - JOHN L. LEWIS (3>nt From Page One) hopes’ of working out a “more favorable deal." Last year, Lewis settled first I with the independent northern producers and the captive mines, such as H. C. Frick Coke Co., "had to fall into line.” A spokesman for the independents said that Lewis apparently is “taking turn about” and 1 will do business with the captives first this year.

KISTER TO RULE ON (Cont From Page One) of itp commitment. A yeaPTater bids were received and the contract was awarded to Watts. Attorney Bosse asks that the cause be dismissed and the court’s entry reads: “And now the court not being sufficiently advised on said motion takes the. same under advisement until June 1, 1949.” Judge Kister also ordered Homer Teeters, superintendent) of construction, to file a report of his doings in said matter and of the status of said proceedings and to report to the court such claims in said matter as he may have for allowance. The Indiana sti’tome court recently ruled against the petitioners in the mandw suit against the Adams count, commissioners? to issue bonds for the proposed ■dredging project. Unless a new petition is filed, the action of Judge Kister, should he dismiss the case, would end litigation which started about 1914 toward the dredging of the Wabash river from the Ohio state line, northwest through Adams county.
