Foreign Representative Carpentier A Company, It] Michigan Avenue, Chicago Down at Bloomington the two candidates for the republican nomination for mayor are tied with 1,186 votes each. They might let them both try to furnish water for that city and give the mayor’s job to the one who produces between now and the opening of school in September. The weather man just refuses to open up the right box of temperature for some reason or other but he will one of these days as soon as those •westerners get cooled off. Just about the time we get ready to dust off the old straw hat they pull off a suoW storm out in Wyoming and frighten us away from the closet. And at that its not so bad but that it could be worse. Returns from the Tuesday primaries over ,|he state indicate several rial contests for next November. In the meantime, because six months is too long for a city campaign, it is evident that efforts are being made to rest up on the politics for a few months at least and give a little attention to business which needs it. And that leads us to the query of way

did they fix it by law that the primary and ejection be six v months apart. Governor Jackson has pardoned thirteen criminals, two of them sentenced for life for murder. That's whats the matter with our country and that’s why people feel that capital punishment must be inflicted m murder eases. Wtieu men commit murder they do It maliciously, wills illy and with purpose aforethought and they should never be released to ] again endanger society. Ma Ferguson down in Texas, is handing out , lardons as though they were valcn- , tines ami that makes for crime • whether its Texas or Indiana. \\ hat is a good town? Will Henry Ford's prediction that during the next score of years all cities will grow smaller and many of the • i towns disappear come true? The question with many ideas of bow to prevent it is discussed in the May number of Mid-West Review nhd in a most interesting fashion. ‘ Editor Kessinger has studied it and says that good schools, good churches, good neighbors, good jobs and good thm:. make a good town and that those towns which have these and virion, spirit, a definite program and no organization will prosper. He says Ihe towns of from 5,000 to 50,000 population are (he ones which will grow during the next few years. And Decatur has it all.

played his one thousandth game. President Harding presented him with a trophy. His days in fast company are no doubt over though he may be used occasionally and has a chance to even get back regularly if his condition improves. Manager Williamson of the North i cm Indiana fair, to be held here Sep • tember 15th, visited here yesterday and started plans here for the big event. His plans however had beer going forward for some time and lie has already arranged many details including twenty-eight features and concessions, his special acts, the complete Purdue exhibit and others which will conic direct from the state fair. While here he planned for a school exhibit, an auto show and other matters. His premium list will convince you that the fair is to he a real one for nothing is overlooked. llis appropriation for the great Decatur fair is 112,000 and the event which includes the biggest night pro gram ever offered here will open Tuesday evening, September 15th and continue until the evening of the 18th. We believe Mr. Williamson is the best county fair man in the state ami that he is deserving of the cooperation of onr people to the fullest extent. He is a farmer but he lias bad a Wide experience covering many years tn the fair business. If you will inquire about the Elkhart fair you will soon be convinced that he knows his p's and q’s in the various departments which go to make a modern county fair. Ho will do all II" can and if we really want to put this county on the map, we have the opportunity. . —o ißig Features Os | RADIO | Programs Today / Thursday's Five best Radio Feaure* WRC, "Washington. 8 p.m. (EST) ■ 'fan American program." j KYW,.
