It ought to get sizzling hot by the 3rd of November and its a better than even bet that it will, from what we have heard and read. The city of Decatur is in a splendid financial condition and has the best municipal plant in any town its size in the country. Be careful about doing any thing which will interfere with the progress made jluriug the past twelve or fifteen years. Business is spotted and things are not as bright as they should be. It makes people get out of humor and things look dark. But keep on smiling. Old Sol is still smiling oe'a.a.l the clouds and one of these days will coine through *p you can catch the spirit of his good nature. The dratli of E. Studahakir last night was depressing news and has saddened the hearts of many of us who liked him for his energy, good nature, desire to help do things and his optimism. His sudden death was a shock, for until a few days ago no one dreamed of his serious condition. A dozen cities bid for the proposed Knights of Pythias home and several of them offerejl substantial bonuses in cash or in sites. Lafayette will give |S»,(M)O for the home while others offer near that amout. A committee will decide the location withiu a short time and the building will start next year it is expected. The accomplishment brings further credit to our fellow townsman. Dore 11. Erwin, grand chancellor of the order. The schools of Adams county are observing Gene Stratton Porter day and the children of this section where she lived for many years and where she began her successful career as a writer will know all about her life, her work, the obstacles she overcame, how she taught the world to think of Girds and bees and plants and nature. It's a mighty fine thing and incidentally will adcTinterest to the campaign for a Memorial and a Limberlost Trail. With the city election only a mouth away, interest will begin to cause discussions uo doubt. It is expected that within a week or so the campaigns will be outlined and the voters appraised of the qualifications of the candidates. The candidates on the democratic ticket are experienced have a splendid record of achievement behind them. The election of city officials is one of the most important! rights you have and the continued operation of the affairs of Decatur as during the past dozen years is necessary for the success of every one here. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Williamson, county fair enthusiasts, are here today, to stimulate interest in an Agricultural organization which w ill assure ti county fair for many years to come. Their plan is to form a company and purchase beautiful Bellmont Park, rebuild it and conduct a big all county fair once a year with race meetings or other celebrations on the Fourth of July, Labor Day and other holidayt if desired. If sufficient interest it

They have 0 had many years experience iimhc fair (1 e business and have organized and assisted in organizing a number of the best associations rn the state. With the entire organization of the William Penn Highway Associatiou back of us, it looks as though we ought to make some real headway on having the state commission take 4 over the road from the state line east of here to Huntington. That will be ■ something worth while if accomplish- ' ed and it can be and will be if we 1 continue to show the interest and! enthusiasm shown here the other day when the meeting was held. Officers of the new associatiou are pleased with the reception given all along the line and with the prospects for having the road made a federal highway, paved from coast to coast. And don't forget it means as much to the future of those towns on the road as it did fifty years ago to land a place on a trunk line railway. Next year, according to Herbert Janvrin Browne, of Washington, we shall have no summer. Something or other in connection with the specific gravity of the moon and the location of sun-spots will bring this condition about, he says, and he backs his prediction with the predictions of scientists from various nations of the earth, including Norway. Well, ft he is right he had better run for office, as he will surely be elected. Summer, at least a New York sziumer. is one season we can handily do without. Think how charming it will be to sleep o' nights without mosquitoes playing their sweet obligato. Think of wearing overcoats in July instead of perspiring in koolkloth. so called. Think of not having ! to buy a straw hat. Think of not having to envy the emigres in Maine. Think—but why think? Next July we shall be fettered“to an office stool, as usual, with sweat dripping off The 1 end of our nose, reading about how the heat wave will break in 48 hours. Mr. Browne may be right, but he will ■ have to show us. — New York World. o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦ + <•♦♦ + ♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today *j + ♦ + + + <• + * + ♦♦♦♦♦♦- Friday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1923 by United Press WGY.
