Levine has decided to abandon his flight westward across the Atlantic. Not many folks thought he was very much in earnest at any time. Quite a contrast between he and young Lindbergh. If a Monroe county farmer can make his land produce »100 per acre a year from alfalfa, the problem of how an Adams county farmer can make a good living ought to be well solved. Think it over. The new roof garden at the White House would be an ideal place to view the pictures of the Tunney-Dempsey fight or to entertain friends in any nice, quiet way. Rather elaborate for a policy of economy of which we have heard so much.Former Governor McCray talks about restoring his fortune as though it would be a simple matter. He will find i; a very difficult one. He is no longer a young man and the opportunities he will find are not as numerous as they were a few years ago. Indiana once had a law which provided that the punishment fhr assault with intent to rob be punishable by from thirty-nine to one hundred stripes a: the whipping post and consequently there was not much repeating of this crime. What became of the law and why? Now is the time to start in for a reduced tax rate for next year. We can't spend money for everything proposed and then have a lower tax rate. If we buy we must pay. Its alright to have the improvements but its wrong to think we can have them free. Just can't be done. The school bells will ring in Decatur again Tuesday morning and the work will start in earnest by Wednesday. Dig in, boys and girls and remember that after all, football, basket ball and other sports are but incidents of school life. The main thing is to learn lessons that will be of value to you after while. Getting over a vacation and getting down to work again is so hard that a fellow feels he would have been net ter off without it but next year and the years after when the time comes to get away we'll ail be right there. A lot of the pleasure of a vacation is thinking about it titty-one weeks in the year. Good corn weather —Hurrah. There is nothing quite so important in Adams county as getting a crop of corn. There is a chance now for a fifty per cent, crop which would be a fourth greater than the most optimistic would predict a couple of weeks ago. If this weather will continue for a week or two and frost stay away three or four weeks, the results will spell hundreds of thousand of dollars. This is a corn and hog section and without the corn we won’t do very well, rieasc keep It up Mr. Weatherman. The month has passed and the state highway cofhmission has again failed to carry out their direct promise made in black and white to locate the east and west road through this county and city. We don’t know any' way to move them unless a hundred good c”lzens would drop a letter urging that this be done at once. I Naturally they do the things which are • ■ . ♦

| urged with greatest energy and put off those things about which the people are listless. Write them a few letters and we will get the road taken over within a short time. Don't put it off. thinking some' one else will do t it. Senator James E. Watson, at a' recent political confab said this was no time to talk about state affairs I He never hit the truth so squarely on the head. It was certainly no time' to talk about such unpleasantness, for | this was a love feast, when men were' kissing each other on either cheek and promising to be good boys; when the entire party record was painted in glowing terms and found to be spotless; when the spirit of harmony was essential and must be had at all costs;* when party failure was not to be admitted; when a stiff upper lip was as necessary as political contributions, and when the party interest demanded forgetting and forgiveness. We can well understand why it was not the time. We can sympathize with our good friend, the Senator, and it we were called upon tomake a defense of what has taken place recently we would certainly say it is not the time. Senator Watson has lost none of his cleverness. He Is entitled to the place he holds as the leader of his party In the Hoosier State. There may be a time, but. politically speaking, it is not yet here. —Marion Leader-Tribune. Is your automobile in good operating condition? Its about a two-to-three bet that it isn't, according to tests made in the state of New York where Governor Al Smith recently called on all citizens to submit, their ears to a free examination. Within three weeks more than a million hud. complied and the results were sur* prising. It was found that thirtynine per cent of the cars were defective, fourteen out of every hundred required brake adjustment, four out of every hundred needed brake relining, eighteen out of a hundred had defective headlights, three out of every hundred had horns that wouldn't work, five out of a hundred had faulty steering equipment and a thousand cars needed new steering geaTs. Every one of these defective cars offered an extra hazzard to its passengers and to others on the road. The repairs did not cost much. The conditions here are probably about the same as in New York. Its foolish to await a governor's proclamation for keeping your car in good running condition and safe is the best and cheapest form of automobile insurance. By the way a little care along this line would tend after a short time to reduce insurance rates. — ° £¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ¥ ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*.

This Greatest . ESSEX 4 . ASSUK, ' ft JHhBUL Jong foreshadowed by famous ESSEX achievements The ideal transportation attained in this Greatest Essex Super-Six was long foreshadowed in the series of individual supremacies by which Essex leadership towered mountain high above the field. World standards set by Essex itself must be surpassed to achieve it. Standards of comfort and performance, stand* 4 ards of riding ease and economy, and the outstanding » standard of value. ’ Here is all that Essex gave in the past plus advancements that are new and unique in motordom. Here is 50 miles an hour all day long, far greater speed if you want it, and a riding ease that is actually like flying. Today s Essex, like Hudson, has an exclusive high-com-pression, anti-knock motor that, using ordinary gasoline, turns waste heat to power. These motors are the most powerful and efficient in the world per cubic inch of piston displacement, within our knowledge. No matter how high your expectations, they will be brilliantly met, and more, when you ride in the New Essex buper-Six. ■■ j ESSEX SuperSYX. 2-pass. Speedabout . , rtO 4-pass.
