What’s the use to set up a new airplane endurance record when some fellow comes along In a few days and "busts” it? Looks as though they can stay up all summer it they have to. Its only two months until the big agricultural street fair will be put on in Decatur. Its success depends on you and each of you. Take your coats off and help the Legion boys put it over. What we do, we should do right and that’s what Adams post will do.

Just the same a city the size of Decatur and a county as good as this one needs and should have an alltime rest room with comfort stations. This is the. age of travel and hundreds of people in and out of the county will appreciate whatever effort and expense is necessary to provide jch rooms. Mighty good advice for this time of year to those who enjoy bathing in the lakes and other pools of deep water is to never swim as far as you think you can. One of the greatest perils in swimming is over-confidence. Don’t try to follow a leader. Turn back while you are strong. Its a dangerous sport when not engaged in with great care.

The new currency is now obtainable but its just as hard to get hold of as the larger pieces of paper w-ere. Os course most folks would like to have a wad of these bright and new bills of smaller dimension but few of us will have the courage to turn down the others if that’s what comes our way. Warnings are again being sent out to be careful about mad dogs. There is an epidemic of rabies in Indiana and has been for several years. Owners of dogs are urged to keep them at home or muzzle them and children should be asked not to play with these pets. A boy died at Mishawaka a few days ago as a result of a dog bite. Decatur is entertaining a number of the dent is a and their wives from the Fort Wayne district of the Indiana Dental Association and we are glad of this opportunity to greet these splendid peop'.r We hope they like us, will say a good word about us and will return whenever they can. The sessions are being held at the Decatur Country Club, of which we feel justly proud.

Decatur now has two mighty attractive public parks, an improvement worthy of commendation and the committee which lias worked these out, beautified them with the expenditure of a comparatively small amount of money and kept them maintained for the benefit of the public deserves due commendation. Os course you had them due you hut remember you waited a long time and that the present administration provided much of tJie improvement. h. — ' A deserving ahd splendid hortorwaa that given W. F. Beery, a rural carrier from this city and who with Mr. I Graham and Mr. Fritzinger, did much to make the recent convention a success. He was elected a delegate to the national convention, hut two of the fourteen elected being sent at the

Graton when lie left a relative’s farm to take 'up residence In this city. expense of the organisation. The other one was the president. The convention will be held at Savanah, (la., next month and Mr. Beery and Mr. Graham are planning to attend. Mrs. Beery was also honored by her selection as vice-president of the auxiliary. Enthusiastic in their praises for Decatur hospitality, the rural carriers and their families numbering more than four hundred, expressed due appreciation and a promise to return if ever given the opportunity. To those in charge of the convention, much credit is due. The representatives came from every section of the state and such gatherings are splendid advertisements to any community which extends the hand of welcome and really makes an effort to be host to such men and women as attended the state convention of rural carriers.

The Saturday issue of the Indianapolis Star contained a picture of the new city building that Peru proposes to build. It Is a handsome two-story affair, of modern architecture and ample accommodations for a city double the size of Peru, which is about 15,000 population. The cost is given at 185,000, all of which is to be paid for out of the proSts of the municipal electric light plant, which the public has been educated to believe is not profitable. These municipal plants in every city of 10,000 or more in Indiana have been real gold mines, not only for the extra funds they provided, but for the low rates they gave to residents of the cities fortunate enough to own utilities, — New Castle Times. Well, Mr. New Castle Times we are not doing so badly with our municipal plant up this way in towns under ten thousand population, if you care to know it. Bluffton has a light rate of six and half cents down, has built a community building and has money to buy whatever is needed. Decatur has a rate about as low, has a very modern plant and makes money, while Portland is making a fine showing in the municipal plant Idea and neither city can show much, if any, over six thousand population. Just handling, like anything else, and the taxpayer reaps the benefit of the low rate.—Bluffton Banner,
