HIGHER POSTAL RATES PREDICTED Postmaster General New Forecasts Increase In Address Today (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Sept. 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Increased postal rates were forecast by Harry S. New, postmaster general, in an address today before the annual convention of the National Association of Postmasters. “If new obligations of major importance are created for the postoffico department, ordinary prudence suggests an upward readjustment of certain tates to meet them,” New said. "The present administration of the department has not insisted that the service be made absolutely self-sus-taining. The government of every other great nation seeks to make its postoffice a revenue producer. There is no other postal service conducted with the liberality of the postal department of the United States. “It is only fair that the rates charged should approximate the expense incurred for the service rendered.'' Several hundred postmasters from all parts of the United States were in attendance at the convention. o Unique Display To Be Seen Ir. Enterprise Window The sight of a life-time will be seen in the Enterprise drug store window Tuesday evening at 7:30, showing the reproduction of national capitol building at Washington, D. C. This masterpiece of art is executed with almost 5,000 cakes of toilet soap, and is 'a marvel of ingenuity and skill. It exhibits the front and rear elevations of the capitol, the mammoth Arch of Triumph with its ornamental columns of liberty and jchariot of progress. The great hall is flanked with smaller halls running through the entire building and has been executed with marked exactness as to its distinctive features and adornment. The capitol in miniature is made entirely of soap and will occupy the large window of the store. No one can view this rmarkable store display without feeling proud that they live under the Stars and Stripes. F. Burkhalter, general superintendent of Royal Soap company, superintends the work of three men in making this display. o Dr, Boyers Leaves To Attend Convention Dr. J. S. Boyers left today to attend the meeting of the Indiana State i' Medical association at Indianapolis. J He will return about September 28th lor 29th. A splendid program has been arranged for this meeting and a num- : ber of physicians from this county I wil no doubt, enjoy the sessions.

A loss cf more than $500,000 was suffered this year. The state valuation on railroads and public utilities is about $l5O 000 less and the mortgage exemptions are $50,000 more this yea . In Decatur the loss in valuations i i about $300,000. In many of the taxing units less money is being-raised for taxes with a higher rate for nett year than the lower rate yielded this year. It is thought that the total tax to be paid by the taxpayers of Adams county next year will not be much higher than this year, due to the lower valuations. The Rate in Decatur The rates which go to make up the total of $3.45 in the city of Decatur are as follows: City school tax $1.40 City-Corporation 83 Library 05 County, general .... 23 County bonds .04' County bridges . 04 Read repair 25 Road bonds and interest3o Township, general 03 State rate 28 Total $3.45 These rates will be paid in taxes during 1925 and County Auditor Martin Jaberg will begin at once to compile the tax duplicates for next yea.'. TRAINING SCHOOL HAS FINE OPENING (Continued From Page One) mal launching this night. As the work of the school develops, becomes , a reality, we will increasingly api precrate the significance bf tlf's night. If the churches and the . Christian people of Decatur will continue to give encouragement and support, as they are at the present so enthusiastlcalh' doing, this school may become one of the greatest re- . ligious factors of the community. , tending to federate and intensify at >1 elevate the religious communi y consciousness, and place on a higher and more intelligent basis the religious work of all the affiliated churches . as well.” The Dean then called upon M. F. Wortliman, superintendent of the city public schools, who is the secretary of the Board of Management I of the Training School, and has givj'en unstinted effort toward the sue i 1 cess of the school, to give a few re,l marks. In well chosen words he stated his appreciation of the school and I what it would mean to the boy and , igirl, for which nothing was too good, i; “I am for the boy and girl first and , Hast and all the time. They are the • coming citizens. They should have i the very best religious training pos- . sible. When the Sunday School , teachers are adequately trained this will be more definitely realized.” He complimented all that were there and urged them to stick through the . term and if, at the end of the first semester, they did not think they were well repaid for the time and money expended they should come to him and he would give them a nice treat. Mr.S .Worthman was enthusiastically received. The members of the faculty then were introduced and responded with I

short speeches, those present being Rev. U. S, A. Bridge, Rev. F. D Whitesell, Rev. H. M. Thompson Rev. B. N. Covert, Mrs. Frank Downs and Henry B. Heller. The treasurer i of the school. Roy Mumma, and the ■ registrar. Miss Jesteen Hocker, also were introduced to the school. After explaining the courses, the enrollment was completed and the teachers met their classes in their class rooms, effected a simple organization, surveyed the courses to be studied and made assignments in study. Only one hour a week of ' study in each subject is required. ' Splendid interest prevailed throng out the evening and at the close many remarks of appreciation of the school were ma le. The next session 1 will be next Monday evening at 7:15. It is hoped that a great muny more will avail themselves of this splendid opportunity to study and become better informed and more efficient along the lines of religious education. No special previous education is necessary to get great good out of the school. New students may enroll ' at the school at the opening of the session next week. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS Senator Simon I).
