The folks like these special sales when honestly given and it has been several years since one was held here. Special trading days attract crowds and make business for every one while providing bargains for the patrons of the stores. So its a good thing every way. Il pays to keep alive. Good corn weather the past few days and every farm in this county has been wording over time on the job of planting, cultivating or something else towards a big crop. Thats what we need badly and it will help. The plans for a big after harvest jubilee, street fair and agricultural exhibit go forward and you may plan for one of the best weeks ever given in Decatur. The program will be announced soon. Rest rooms and comfort stations are absolutely necessary to any good community these days and we can afford to provide them at any common sense cost anil expense of inaintainence. Action should be takfifi Yvt once for thats about the only complaint that can be heard from those who visit here. Recently we mentioned the new law concerning the carrying of weapons and made the statement that hunters would have to secure a license through considerable red tape. This we find is an error, the new law applying only to those who carry revolvers, either concealed or unconcealed. The store which advertises floes a larger volume of business and shows a greater profit than the competitor who sleeps along without. Any merchant can check up on that by trying it both ways and most of them have. If you have something for sale and tell the folks about it, you will do business. “The fellow who is pulling on the oars is too busy to rock the boat,” is one of Rev. Snnderman’s slogans and its not only good in the church but just as true in community boosting. business and other avocations. Those who attend io their own business are usually trio occupied to have time for idle gossip, destructive criticisms and other things which do tend to hurt others. With fifteen hundred people employed in Decatur, there is every assurance that times will continue good. Facts are that indications are for some big steps forward the next few weeks. We need some more houses and we hope that fifty are erected during the summer. That would mean a greater population when the census is taken next year. Get busy. It | will lie easy Itqisecure an autoi<iriter> IwfetaM- in Indiana but it may be well to remember that it will also be easy to lose. Under the plan in this state, effective July Ist, licenses will be issued to almost every one and then will begin the weding out. If you are convicted for careless driving, being intoxicated, a felony or for many other reasons,

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE Boston —(UP)-— So bothersome have poor-box thieve* become that ' one local church, historic Kink's Chapel, has installed a burglar alarm. I I your license can be revoked and you 1 nray have a difficult time getting one. ) I It is claimed that President Hoover • Is holding a grudge against Indiana • because of the mean things said about him during the primary last spring. Poor politics, if true, thohgh it doesn't make much difference to we I democrats. Indiana gave Mr. Hoover a big majority and Senator Watson, Congressman Wood, Congressman Vestal and others are powerful. If . the president expects to get any , where he ought to quit pouting and play the game. Several dozen Hoosier aspirants for federal jobs have been left out in the cold and they • can't be expected to warm up very strong when the president asks a renomination. Page Jim Goodrich and Will Hays. A writer in the Indianapolis Star, under the caption "Voice of the People,” tells a lot of truth in the following: 1 just read the article, “Politics in Senate,’’ of May 16 by one of your readers. He should remember that the republican party has been in power since 1920, and promised to give farm relief at each of the campaigns, and thus far has failed. If the republicans were sincere and wanting to help the farmer, why did they not sell Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford, who promised to sell the farmers commercial fertilizer at about half price? But no, the republicans played politics and would not sell the plant. The fact is it is still standing idle anil fertilizer that could be bought a few years ago around |23 a ton is now selling at >7O a ton. This is the i way the republicans irave been helping the farmers since Woodrow Wilson relinquished control. By republican control all implements, machinery and commodities that the farmers buy hare advanced in price and the grain and farm products that they have to sell have decreased in price. o

Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE The Step-Ladder* To avoid accidents nail strips of rubber to the four feet of the step -ladder. These strips can be cut from a discarded automobile tire. Bottles When carrying bottles for traveling, dip the corks and necks of the bottles in melted paraffin, to avoid accidents. Stale Biscuits When biscuits have become stale. I brush them lightly with cold water and place them in the oven for a few minutes. It will freshen them wonderfully. 0 MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.
