Methods used iu Indiana are being aired and call for a clean-up. This is the season of new automobile models and when after looking them over it’s hard to say “my car will last another year.” Indiana is again the center of an investigation and where there is a little smoke, you'll always find lire. Let's take off the lid and go after the guilty ones. Another six weeks and the vacation period will be over. It you haven't taken your outing, better plan it nowbefore you have to worry about the furnace firing. ee: 1 —— One thing Indiana its governor, and the method of electing state officials is being advertised throughout the nation. Must be along the line of “saying something good about Indiana.” A former resident of this city visit*lg here this week remarked about the dressy appearance of Decatur, the new store fronts, the new homes, well kept lawns, ornamental street lights, hard surfaced roads and the fact that a great improvement could be noticed in the general improvement of this city. Let’S keep up the stride. Between the close of the summer season and fall there is generally a lull in activities, it’s the time of year when business needs a little tonic, when an effort should be made i to create life and a dollar day, a community suburban day or after harvest week might be just the thing to turn 1 dull times into snappy ones. l -X J ' 11'1 : New Post offices planned for Pittsburg, Boston and Chicago, are of such size that the root be used ; as a landing for air planes. The new 1 Chicago postoffice will be constructed ; in the near future with an air port on :

the root and by the time Decatur gets its federal building these landing places will be common to all. _ , L <—- Governors of the 48 states meeting at Mackinac are considering problems in which their states are directly interested, but so far Governor Jackson hasn't told the boys how he sold a farm horse to one D. C. Stephenson for $2,500. If Jackson explain that deal, the farm problem might be solved. With (he conviction of the Birger and Shelton gang of outlaws, Herrin, Illinois, is making a clean-up similar to the one made at Canton, Ohio, following the murder of Don Mellett. Time will eventually weed out these thugs and bandits and the foolish will be convinced that crime does not Pay. No one wants to prevent parking of automobiles on Second street or ou any other street in the city, because a town without automobiles or people coming to town is a dead one. Care should be used in parking however and double parking on busy days should be avoided. Look after your own safety and accidents will not happen. One-day jail terms were meted out to five men in city court at Fort Wayne yesterday for speeding and reckless driving. The judge added,

' that speeding must stop" ahd Inti- ' mated that on second offense the penlaity would be more severe. Fust driving down principle streets or in traffic is dangerous 'and the jail sentences will more than likely curb those who fail to take their foot off the gas. Next month township, school, town and city and county governments will prepare budgets and estimates for next year’s tax rates. In Adams county the different taxing units have kept down expenditures to the minimum, general expenses being a small part of the outlay for improved roads, road bonds and school purposes. In this county taxes will be figured on a lower valuation, farm values having been reduced about $3,000,000 and It is likely that the result will be higher rates in some of the taxing units. Every effort should be made however to keep expenditures within reason and if possible cut tax rates.

According to a copyrighted article printed by an Indianapolis newspaper, former governor Warren T. McCray was offered a bribe of SIO,OOO and immunity from prosecution, if he would appoint a certain Indianapolis attorney as prosecutor of Marion county, following the resignation of his son-in-law. William P. Evans. The offer was carried to Governor McCray by Ed Jackson, then secretary of state. McCray flatly refused to concede to the demands of the inner government, with the statement that he would not barter public office to save himself. He appointed Remy who is now carrying on the investigation and the people of Indiana demand that a clean up be made. o ************* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * v * ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today * * From the Daily Democrat File * ************* July 26—Railroad commission hold:: that the 2 cent fare law also applies to traction lines.

OUR TRIP TO WASHINGTON Simon M. Schwartz Gives Interesting Description Os Trip To Capital Editor's Note: The following account of the trip taken by a group of Indiana farm club boys and gjrls to Washington, D. C.. recently, was written by Simon M. Schwartz, of Adams county, a member of the party. Owing to the lenght of the article, it will appear in three installments. By Simon M. Schwartz The next morning we were awakened at the requested time and at six o'clock we passed over the famous bend. The bend is situated on this side of Altoona and is a wonderful sight. Since the track curves to the very shape of a horseshoe, the engine and the last car of our train almost touched each other at one time. The bend is situated in a very beautiful spot with high and very rough mountains ou all sides. The mountain scenery and the rocks and stones are of special interest between Altoona and Harrisburg. We also passed through several tunnels at different places. The mountains are very rough and covered with trees at almost all of the places, and no crops to amount to anything are grown. It was possible to travel for miles at some places without seeing any farms or homes. That forenoon at 9:35 we came into Harrisburg. Just before entering the city we crossed the Susquehanna river which we had followed through the mountains for many miles. This is a very beautiful but shallow river about one mile wide. At Harrisburgh we were met by several representatives of the Pennsylvania R. R., who at once took us to the beautiful state capital. The capital is a very large and beautiful structure, and is made mostly of Indiana lime stone. We saw all the famous paintings in the building and had the privilege of seeing |he largest single piece rug in the world, which, is 2.400 square feet in area. We also were taken through all the rooms, including the senate room and the room where the con gressmen meet, besides the governor s reception room. Before leaving we met the governor, Mr. Fisher and also the secretary of agriculture, Dr. Jordan.

After our trip through the capital we went to lunch, and Dr. Jordan accompanied us. We were the guests at lunch of the Pennsylvania railroad and enjoyed our meal very much. After lunch we took a tour along the Susquehanna water front and found it very interesting and beautiful. At one o’clock we left Harrisburg for Washington, passing through Baltimore on the way, and arriving at Washington at 4:20 in the afternoon. We were met at the big Union station by several 4-H leaders from Washington, to our rooms which were located about one and one half miles west from the capital. From our first glimpse of Washington were were at once all favorably impressed with the city. Its wide and handsome streets, beautifully arranged. Its beautiful buildings and parks all were a source of great interest. Duding our first evening in the capital city we visited the great congressional library where thousands of volumes are kept. The building is a very large and nice place and contains many notable works of art and paintings, besides documents of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution adopted by the thirteen states. On Thursday forenoon we attended the camp where four club members from every state attended. The camp was the first national club camp ever held and will be made an annual affair. Four, two boys and two girls, who went to Wallington with us, represented Indiana at the camp. A meeting was held in the auditorium of the new museum where William Jardine, secretary of agriculture, delivered a short address and welcomed the club members to Washington. He gave some interesting facts about how club work was started and the benefits derived from the work. During the forenoon we also visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. the place where the paper money and the stamps are made. This was a very interesting sight. Twenty million dollars in paper money and 60,000,000 stamps are made every day. We saw the process from start to finish in making money and the stamps. After our trip through that building we went to ,'he top of the Washington monument which is 555 feet high. From there we obtained splenviews of the city and country for many miles around, and saw many
