Get your funny face ready and help make the Calllthumpian parade the best one ever given here. Lets scare the witches and bad luck away for the next hundred years. Big celebration here on Hallow’een. The ghosts will walk and there will be a lot of fun. Incidentally business houses will offer you some special bargains. Watch for the program. Lewis Fairfield, thinner,, grayer, older, but even more alert than he was about four years ago when Davy Hogg took his seat in congress away from him will stage an effort to come back. You never can tell. Babe Ruth did it, Dempsey failed. It ought to be a right good round. Out of the abundance of youth should be laid aside something for old age and that does not only mean money but it means health, good habits and a full book of good memories. Don’t put off saving these things too long for before you realize it, old man time will have made it impossible. The football season is at its heighth today and millions are watching the games of high school and-j favorites. They will watch the bulletin boards tonight for the results and discuss the merits of the various teams as though the members were personal acquaintances. It goes with America to engage in contests and to back them with all our energies. We noticed two trucks racing for • the crossing at Five Points. Both of them made it but they were along side and one of them just missed the concrete standard by a hair. We wondered wiiai i lie hurry aas "iOr after we arrived down town we noticed — both of them parked and the drivers visiting with people on the curb. 7" Why do folks take such chances? < Hi « - . . Though we keep improving our fire fighting equipment and making our — buildings more nearly fireproof, the insurance basis is not reduced. We asked a special agent about it the other day and he came back at us by ■' saying that as communities grow, so do fire hazards and after all rates arc fixed largely because of the total losses during a period of time. So thats that. We talked last evening with a representative of Purdue who has just returned from a visit to territories in Canada, Ohio and Michigan, where the corn borer has been working several years. He says its even worse than has been described and urges us to talk with Adams county men who will soon make the trip after their return. Farm lands in certain areas • where nothing was done has become practically worthless. The Lion's club are sponsoring the sale of tickets for a four-night literary and musical festival to be given in the Decatur high school auditorium the evenings of November Ist to 4th inclusive. Its a wonderful program of lectures, music and drama and the season tickets are but. two dollars each for adults with special rates for school children. It. ought to go over big for wo need just what this enter tainment will provide. We hope it is liberally supported and that the club will be so well pleased with results that they will continue such move-

* meats. Sixteen local business men r have guaranteed the necessary funds to assure the event. Jack Johnson landed in jail at r Columbia City again. Four years ago r. he was pinched there for having liquor in his possession. He finally r, found a man foolish enough to go on his bond for 31.500, putting up a couple of diamonds of more or less 2, value. Os course the ex-champion ? I never appeared, so when he was leav5 1 ing a hall at North Manchester th-? ? other evening after a fistic fake, he 5 0' was again arrested and taken back to 0 ■ Columbia City for a hearing. The poor old colored boxer has about reached the bottom. Fort Wayne is converting a tourist camp arranged several years ago into a city park. A few years ago every town and city thought if they didn't ■ have a camp in which the autoists ? could find various conveniences they s would be off the map but many of > them have found it a big job. These j camps must be maintained and like everything else cost a lot of money. In a few instances they are alright but most motorists prefer to go to camps owned and operated by private 1 individuals for a small charge. They 1 are usually cleaner and better kept I up in every way. It would be a good thing for motorists to learn and remember that a car going sixty miles an hour covers eighty-eight feet a second; a car going thirty miles an hour means forty- ( four feet a second, and a car going fifteen miles an hour means twenty- ; two feet a second. If a man driving his car at sixty miles an hour does < not see another car coming out of an intersecting street until he is eightyeight feet from it, he has only one j second in which to stop. It can not j possibly be done. If a man is driv- t ing at thirty miles an hour and sees ( another car coming out of an interu secting street when he is forty-four feet from it. he has only one second , to stop. Impossible! If a man drives his car at fifteen miles an hour and t does not see another car coming out ’ of an intersecting street, or a child 1 dodging out from behind a parked machine, or a woman with a baby car- , riage suddenly starting across, until he is twenty-two feet from the object, t he has only one second in which to • stop. It can't be done. — Alexandria Tribune.
