He sure to look through one of the street fair premium lists. You should find something there to interest you for there is included departments in dairy, swine, poultry, pet stock, general agriculture, flowers, economics and a 4-H show. There may be nothing to the corn borer scare but the way the scouts keep reminding us of its spread makes us stop and think. They claim now that it has been found in twenty-one counties of Indiana and in one hundred and fifty .townships, ♦ If some 'one wi'l get busy at house building things will go in Decatur. Mr. Haugk, Hall and Talmadge and others have already s orted the ball and with proper encouragement will keep it up. That need not stop any one else from getting in the business. The more the merrier. It will take a lot of bui’ding to catch up with the demand for houses here. The Youth’s Companion, for many years the favorite paper around the fireside of a million American homes has merged with the American Boy, a middle west magazine that the conservative Companion, passed it and finally made necessary the combination. it shows the trend of the times for nov. .i-days the young folks and their elders demand magazines, books and papers with action. The new farm board is in no hurry | about the stabilization of wheat prices, it is i eported from Washington. Os course no one who has watched the trend of the farm relief measure the past several years had any idea they would. Take your time hoys, things can't get much worse and perhaps the problem will some day be solved by some unknown means and then you can claim credit for it. The newest plane to try a flight to New York is the “Land of the Soviets' which left Moscow yesterday for Omsk, thence over Siberia and Alaska to Seattle and then eastward to Chicago and New York. Its a long way around but a successful trip would bring before the world the fact that even in dark Russia where most of us think little progress is being made, air flying is receiving due attention. We have not taken any part in the selection of a route for road 27 through the town of Berne nor we do not intend to. We are hoping that the best route will be chosen and that the greatest number of people will be satisfied with the results. Highways are being constructed for a long period of time and sometimes the routes selected must inconvenience and damage property owners along the line.* While about every farmer feels like ordering the federal men in search of corn borers from there farms, it might be better to hear what they have to say. Many people are fearful that if Ithis insect is permitted to get suf.'fl'ifmt hold, the cqiir’crop in this section will Ire ruihed as it has In parts of Canada and Europe. The men who are now workng here claim there has been some increase since the last investigation was made and that steps should be taken to stamp out the pests before ft Is too late.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Bellows Falls. Vt., Aug. 9.—(U.R) —On with the dance! The Bellows Falls brass band has been giving concerts regularly for 52 ears and is still going strong.

Mrs. Mahle WJllebrandt says she was urged to make her famous speech at Springfield, Ohio, last autumn when she appealed to a crowd of ministers to "rouse their congregations to the menace of Al Smith’s white house I aspirations and that her speech was read and edited by James Francis Burke, general counsel of the national republican committee. Now Burke is out with a flat denial of it which leaves Mabel out unless she can produce the proof she claims she has in her possession. Go ahead, you're no relation of ours. That man Snook appears to be a very poor sport. Pleading that he struck in self defense, while admitting illicit relations and a, blood thirsty desire to wreak punishment on Theora Hix, he says his memory failed him. He was educated, had position, a fine wife and every thing one needs to provide happiness. Not content with that he walked the primrose path, led a double life and wound up with one of the worst murders in Ohio’s history. Now to whine for his life and try to blame the girl is hut making his case much worse than if he stood up and took what he knows he has coming, like a man. An Allen county man named Stapf was found guilty of violation of the liquor laws three years ago and given a one hundred day sentence to the penal farm. He appealed and a decision was made recently confirming the sentence. When the sheriff went to get him, however, he found his man had been seriously sick for some weeks with neuritis. Now they don't know whether to take him to the farm on a stretcher or wait until he Improves. From what we have heard of it the penal farm would not be a very good place to take a sick man and they are probably to busy down thye to give him much attention.
