Its fine weather but its just the season when if you build a tire its too hot and it you don't its too cold. Do you want an Old Home Week in Decatur next October similar to that held in 1912? if enough people say yes, we will have it. There is one thing about flying by air, you don't have to stop very often to change tires or get air. Lindbergh is even smarter than we credited him, he has definitely and uncompromisingly refused to run for congress. Twenty six murderers who arc serving life sentences in the Michigan City prison are asking for paroles and the sad part of it is some of them will get them. Because its so easy to get a parole even when convicted of murder crimes continue. Fake stbek schemes are said to take more than a billion dollars a year from the people of America but even then the market doesn’t seem to be over supplied for the “suckers” keep right on biting. The fact that Col. Emmons who was badly injured in an airplane accident ten days ago desired to be and was taken back to Detroit by plane indicates the faith he has in this mode of travel and it is said to be the easiest way to transport a patient suffering as he was with a fractured leg. Charles D. Teeple, well-known Decatur business man, is strong for an Oiu' Home. Week in Decatur next year. He is talking it about ten hours a day and says about everybody he meets is in favor of it. If that is true and sufficient interest ia manifested it will sure enough bo held. We think it remarkable that the Hire- -motored plane conveyed the Emmons party to Detroit in an hour and a half or less yesterday but look whats coming, a Dresden, Germany, man claims to have invented a motor which will drive a plane at the rate of 800 miles an hour. Think of going from here to New York in less time than was taken yesterday for the Detroit trip. The dramatic leave-taking of Col. Emmons, Detroit aviation promotor, will be long remembered by those who watched tne big three-motored plane land near here and take off. During his ten days here Col. Emmons made a number of friends as did his brother, Walter, and the pilot' of the wrecked car, Lieut. Hopkins. | They expressed themselves again and again as being grateful that they • landed in so splendid a community, if they had to land somewhere. Col. Emmons is one of the leaders in com- ’ mercial aviation in America and we are glad that he has a kindly feeling towards Decatur and Adams county. Mayor Baker, of Portland, Oregon, surprised a delegation of women opposing enlarging a factory site, by saying that industries come before homes. An industry planned construction of a $500,000 plant in Portland and was refused vacation of a street that had never been opened. “If it were not for that industry,” said the mayor, "property in that district would be valueless and would be a

hog-wallow for the next hundred [* years. I wonld be willing to crawl on ' my stomach under automobiles parked In front of my home if factories brought those automobiles there.” r. r. There were 104,113 cigarets made lt every second in September,, according r 'to the Revenue Bureau figures, which show a total production of 8,995,374,138 in September, or a gain of 8,381,2 477 cigarets over the same month last ® year. Cigars manufactured in Sep--5 tember totaled 673,156,094, or 12,891',0 839'more than September a year ago. 5 1 qi Large cigars numbered 639,359,094, a 0 gain of 39,342.692 over the same month of 1926, while small cigars totaled 33,797,000, a decline of 6,450,853 from September 1926. Although the manufacture of tobacco dropped off, being only 31,031,347 pounds, or 1.911,892 pounds less than September, 1926, the snuff output was 3,641.335 - pounds, a gain of 359.700 pounds over J the same month a year ago. i ——————— Senator Watson was in Chicago yesterday and. of course, gave out an : interview about things in Indiana. In , the course of his remarks Jim said he was pretty sick of conditions and had no special desire to ever again hold office. He said none of his friends were involved and that none of the men now in trouble were of . his selection and that let him out of all blame, but “a man must be loyal to his party.” Yes, Jim is ever loyal to his party and for the past few years he has been the party, even though a few of his. political enemies did not get into office. He is the organization from Clyde Walb on down to every last district chairman. While unable to control the voters in a primary, Jim has done about everything else to the party, and can not very easily escape the blame. He seemed pretty close to both Stephenson and Bossi rt in their palmy days, was instrumental in the organization of the committee and even now bosses that organization. Os course, Jim was talking away from home. — Bluffton Banner. _o *¥¥¥*¥¥«¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * :'¥¥¥¥¥**¥**¥ N THURSDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR—Newwark (422) 7:30 pm.

J , Judge Upholds Axiom Os “Spoil The Rod And Spoil The Child” Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 27, (UP) — 1 “Spare the tod and spoil the child” lias ' a firm defender here in the person of 1 Circuit Judge John P. Jefferies. Acquitting William Clengenfell, bei fore the court on an assaut and batI tery charge based on a whipping administered to Gladys Mullens, 15, his stepdaughter, Judge Jefferies deciar- ' ed a parent lias the legal right to ad- ' minister such punishment as is neces- ' sary to conquer his child. Matrons of the Friendly inn testified there were a number of welts across the girl's back, but the judge was not impressed, citing a Supreme Court finding that, if necessary, bipod may be brought without a parent being guilty of cruel punishment. Jefferies held that the mere fact that Gladys was able to run away from home after the beating was sufficient proof that it was not too severe, if the beafing could have been designated an assault and battery, the child would not have been able to escape, he held. o— Suicide Statistics Show Germany Leads In Self Destruction Berlin.
