A lot of fellows who caught the flying fever following the leap of Charley Lindbergh into fame and fortune are now recuperating In the hospitals and a lot of others never even got that far. Thats what we would call a first class rain and we needed it. Every body feels now that we will have an average corn crop, which means good times soon. Wheat, corn, hay and > beets look good. Prosecutor Remy is hunting the famous “black box." It contains the evidence which will support the stories told by D. C. Stephenson and it found will help clear the state of a number of grafters it is expected. Seems almost too good to be true. A shoemaker in Ashland, Wisconsin, was fishing for minows with a light line when he hooked a nine-pound trout ami finally landed it with (he assistance of a couple of friends. The trout was no more surprised than was the shoemaker, it is reported. Some one wants to know if we would “swap the nice new enamel bath tub for the 'ole swimmtn’ hole" and we answer in good faith, that we would if we could have back the years with it and return to the days of patched pants and "cow-itch” and other luxuries which we did not appreciate. ' Paving of south Mercer avenue, west Monroe street and Nuttman avenue and resurfacing of Winchester street from Adams to the Nickle Plate Is the program for thp next few months, a needed improvement and one that will help make the city just that much better. This means three more splendid aproaches. A citizen appearing before the city council made the statement that onefif'h of the motorists fail to stop at “Five Points", a street intersection where live thoroughfares join. Thais a very dangerous condition and one sure to result in a serious accident if not corrected one way or another. Kelly who sat on top of a flag pole three hundred hours has lost the belt. A man named “Spider" Haines of Denver climbed up on top of a pole and rested there thirteen days, through storms and hot suns and discomfort. Wonder what the sam hill these fellows are trying to work out any way? In the first six months of this year, the motorists of Indiana paid $4,386,662.90 in gasoline taxes. Thats $529.550.51 more than we spent In the same period last year. Times may be hard but that doesn't seem to effect us when we want to trot out the old car and take a spin. We spent a million dollars for gas tax in June alone, an increase of over SIOO,OOO. ■ William Howard Taft, only man who has served as president of the United States and chief justice likes his job so well that he will refuse to retire in 1931 as he could if he so desired and on full pay. In looking back over his forty years of public service he says frankly that he does not feel he was fitted for politics and that being president was a very great strain while be takes naturally to the job of judge. Ellis H. Sprunger, former Adams

y man. who < rved several as membership secretary of the Fo-t , Wayne Y. M. C. A. has been appointed secretary of the national council of the association with headuuarteis . in New York City. The past two ■I years he has been secretary of the 1 Detroit Y. M. C. A. In each of his '• jobs he has made good and he will continue to do so in the very important position to which he has been 2 “ promoted. 0 ’ 5 Enthusiasm has been at a high r pitch the past few weeks, during 0 which lime three planes have crossed 0 tlie Atlantic but it Is doubtful if transAtlantic passenger service can be attempted with safety so» quite some time. The only one of those who has made the trip who seems at all anxious to repeal ii is !-•»im-.. who did not do the piloting. Bert Acosta frankly states that such a flight is e "enendurable” and not to be desired ,f by sensible folks. He is perhaps right [J about the matter and he at least speaks from experience. e r Unexpected and unheard of things i happen every one-ln-a-whlle. George j Dale .editor of the Muncie Post-Demo- *■ crat has apologized. Last week in f a three column front page editorial, I 1 he “took the hide off" the Chamber 1 of Commerce for having failed to 1 mention the Post as one of the newspapers there. Then he discovered they had and so he berates himself in this weeks issue just as he would any one else who pulled such a “boner.” Monroe street was all dressed up last evening with the new ornamental light posts alight and presenting another thoroughfare along which you could read a letter most any where. The cable for north Second street has been ordered and it is expected will be in during the next few weeks. When that is complete there will be a continuous string of lights from the north to the south city limits in , addition to the numerous other ; streets. You may boast without fear of contradiction that Decatur is now the best lighted city of its size in the , state. i O ; Evansville, Ind., Postal receipts for June totalled $57,129.01, Postmaster Charles Covert's report showed Saturday. This is a gain of $6,532.86 over ' June of 1926.
