The Graf Zeppelin made a wonderful fight across the Pacific. While all the rest of the journey around the world was marvelous, the thrill most of us got out of it was its trip from Tokio to Los Angeles, sailing over a wide expanse of water, through tropical storms and speeding right along with less trouble than • the average liner. It was great. From time to t ! me this paper makes suggestions of what we think would improve conditions and we ask for the careful consideration and thought of our readers. If you agree or disagree we will he glad to have your expression. It is this general and continued effort that finally makes one community better than another. It's time to get ready for school. I , The vacation period has slipped away ' as it has a habit of doing and this week everybody is getting ready for | the opening of schools and colleges next week. At that, it’s a great time for every youngster for he is about to enter another period of knowledge gaining. Work hard, boys and girls and remember that 'those rules and tables you store ' i away now will be mighty handy as the years roll by. The contract for the paving of state highway No. 16 from Decatur east will be let September 17. While that perhaps makes it too late for completion this year it will give the contractor an oppoitunity to build the grade over the new proposed route this fall so it can settle by spring when the concrete can be quickly ' poured. It will be a splendid improvement and a part of one of the greatest cross country systems in America. We are happy that this has been accomplished. Harry _>liesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers' Association, is urging that unexpended balances on hands in the various townships over the state be absorbed, thus reducing the general taxes. He points out that in one. Howard county township a saving of *1.16 can be made on each *IOO. He publishes a list of fif-ty-three counties where unnecessarily large balances exist and where he claims large savings can be made. Adams county is not included but Wells has a balance of $61,552 and Jay county has *52,551. There are periods of the year, particularly in summer, when retail trade would naturally be dull. These are times when years ago, when these was Ipss enterprise, the stores Wifi. largely empty. People - had bought their summer supplies and » ; they were not ready for fall stuff. The store clerks looked sleepy, and the proprietor looked blue. But nowadays, advertising cures all that.

i i TODAY’S CHUCKLE Fort Worth, Texan, Aug. 26.— J (U,R)—The growing popularity of goat's milk has been evidenced by Its addition to the fountain j bill of fare at a downtown drug i store here. times. The redaction of the basic tire insurance rate in Decatur and all other towns and cities with proper fire protection, as announced by the Indiana inspection bureau, E. M. Sellers manager, is good news. It is a slight reduction for frame houses with shingle roofs but a substantial one on those residences with approved roofs, meaning slate, asbestos or asphalt shingles. The thing to do of course is for every one to continue to be as careful as possible to avoid and prevent fires for by that general method we will not only hold the lower rate hut have the opportunity of securing better ones in the future. At the present rate there is no reason certainly why every one should no’ be covered with insurance. Charles E. Hocker is for the river Improvement and we hope many others are and will write us and tell us so for that’s what makes public opinion and that’s what will eventually bring it about. Os course it’s a big job to tackle and should not be done hurriedly, but with the greatest care and only after the fullest advice from experts. We should have a sewage disposal plant and then the river should be deepened and widened in places the banks landscaped ahd eventually a drive built along the St. Marys. It would add several thousand per cent to the health, happiness and general comfort of this community and properly presented would warrant considerable federal aid. o— MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE j Q.
