The crops in southeastern Indiana are ruined because of a lack of rain. Wouldn't it be nice if we could loan them a little of the water which has fallen here during the past week or two? If you want to engage in the bootlegging business in Fort Wayne or any other city, better fix up all your pins in advance. Forty federal agents swooped down there the other day and pinched a score and a half of the little fellows who hadn't "set ’em up" Just right but the regular fellows got the tip in time to close up and pour out and get away. Senator Smoot will ask the next congress for a hundred million dollars for public buildings. As this will include a lot of postoffices over the country and since Decatur is the only county seat in, the eighth district which hasn't a federal building, it might be well for some one of Influence to write Congressman Vestal and call his attention to that fact. Victor Yergin. a fifteen-year-old boy. was electrocuted at Rome City yesterday when he grasped a dangling telephone wire. A Newcastle man met death yesterday when he came in contact with a “live" wire ami another met a similar death at Indianapolis. It seems there have been an unusual number of deaths from this cause, recently and it is well to be careful. Don't take any chances when you see a loose wire. It may be alive and when that is true the results are almost always fatal. The Elks Fun Festival is on the way and the boys are working hard to make it a winner. They need your assistance if it is to be the success it ought for the proceeds go towards ini * proving the beautiful new’ home recently purchased. Such a home in a city the size of Decatur is a valuable asset for it attracts attention, holds people here and provides a clean and delightful place of entertainment. They will have a big program for their week and they want everybody to attend. All set for the finish. It remains ofly that we have good weather the week of September 15th and Manager Williamson promises us a great treat—the best fair ever held here. All the space on the big ground has been spoken for and will be filled with exhibits and shows and stands. The features are arranged, the races are filling. Its up to us to lend our aid to securing the crowds that such a fair deserves. Mr. Williamson is not worrying about that end of the business for he has found from thirty years experience that if you provide a real fair the people will come. He is sure that after you have seen the first program of fire works, glanced at the exhibits and read the list of attractions you will want to" be there every day. He has ordered a car of tents, 42,000 square feet of floor space, to take care of everything and is at Portland today concluding arrangements with features there. The track is being conditioned now and everything possible fn advance is being taken care of. Don't be afraid to say a good word for the great Adams County Fait. It s a splendid thing

for the county and for you it its put lon right and that's the purpose this ' year. in the Saturday Evening Post of July 11. Forest Criaeey has an interesting article on modern highway construction. He asks the question: "Who pays the billion dollar highway bill?” The problem of who is going to pay for maintaining and rebuilding our roads, not to mention building new ones, is going to become more important each year. An example of the manner in-which money is expended on street construction has been witnessed in Marion. Indiana. Washington street, in that city, was laid in 1902, and consisted of an eight-inch natural cement concrete base with a sheet asphalt wearing surface. After some 22 years of service it was necessary to rebuild it. It was proposed to remove the old asphalt wearing surface and replace it with material of a similar character. Instead of following the original plan to utilize the old base for a new wearing surface, a plan was finally adopted to tear up the whole street and relay it with eight inches of concrete. The total cost of the job is estimated at 8170,WK), whereas, if the old plan of utilizing the original base for a new asphaltic wearing surface had been adopted, it is said that the cost would not have been in excess of $85,000. which would have meant a net saving of about $85,000 on the present price or 50 per eent of the total cost. This illustration shows who is paying part of the billion dollar road bill and it also shows why they are paying it. As the annual road and street bill becomes larger, it is going to become in creasingly necessary to adopt the most business-like methods to secure the maximum results with the tax payer's dollar. This cannot be done without utilizing in every manner possible old road bases to support a new wearing surface which will carry the traffic.—The Manufacturer. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦♦♦♦♦* ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat file ♦ ♦ Twenty years ago this day ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ August 13. 1905 was Sunday. _ —— n "
