The so-called social" workers who
attempt to excuse hobos for refusing
farm work because the farmer doesn't
provide them with an automobile, an
electric fan and an automatic rock
ing chair, will render the country
better service by abating their silly
clap-traps and doing a little real
work themselves. What is good
enough for the farmer and his honest,
Woodworking boys is good enough for
anybody.

This may account for the difficulty
of some automobiles to stick to the
right side of the road.

The biggest common law suit that
has been tried in the Adair circuit
court for several years was pulled off
last week. 1t was the case of Frank
Burton against Henry Furgerson, the
former charging that the latter placed
distractions in Green river, thereby
turning the current of the stream
upon Burton's farm, damaging it to
the extent of one Thousand dollars.
There we're great many witnesses
for and against. The Jury was given
the case at o'clock Thursday after.
noon, and after celebrating two
hours verdict for the defendant was
rendered. 1t required almost three
days to try the case, including the ar
guments of the attorneys. Mr.. J. f.
Montgomery represented the plaintiff
and Mr.. L. G. Winfrey the defendant.

Pass Along the Smokes.

You warm-hearted people of Adair
county won't let the men who are
fighting your fight go smoke-hungry.
Not bit of it. You're going tc
see to it that they get all the tobacco
they need-just as the folks back home
in England and France are taking
care of the smokes for Tommy and
Poilu.
1t isn't much to demonstrating. A
dollar or quarter from you that gives
a little comfort to one of your own
flesh and blood, doesn't stack up to
much alongside the fact that the very
man you are befriending may have to
give up his life.
But it's regular thing to do-and
you regular" men and women will
do it.
This is the way. Put your contri-
button in an envelope and drop it in
the nearest box now, addressed to
