So long as Governor la'slie persists In freeing bank bandits and murderers from prison he will be criticized, not only by the hankers but by citizens in general. He is busy again explaining his parole stand and not getting far. Schools ate open, court is in session again, vacation days are over and we are all getting back to the regular grind of norma! 1 fe, which after all are the happiest days. Contentment brings about all there is in life. ~ A movement for the improvement of highway entrances to Decatur should be inaugurated for the first glance at any city leaves its impression. it our front yards are not clean the tourists won t think so well of us and its important they do. Out along the county road which runs past the Country Club and out to Sunset park and the county farm, one of the most used highways of the county, the weeds are four or five feet high, which does not look good at this season of the year, nor at any other for that matter. 'They say Kirby Davis has been engaged in the insurance business down in Texas and was rapidly becoming a big business man! Probably specialized in banditry insurance for banks. If all is true we hear of him. he knew the needs of rural banks for that protection. As far back as we can remember there has been a Berling produce company here and it will seem unusual not to have them. They have built rip a business because of perseverence. industry, honesty and integrity and hundreds of people over this section will regret their retirement. - Up in the province of Quebec, it costs you twenty-five and costs if you destroy a shrub, sapling or tree along a public highway without permission. The Canadian provinces have learned by watching this country destroy her natural resources, that it pays to conserve. » — " * Little sympathy can be extended the two young men held for the death of Mrs. Pontius, of Wolcottville, and less for the woman who sold them the liquor. They ran Mr. and Mrs. Pontius down as they walked around their car to enter it and then ran away from the scene. Such acts as these must be stopped if there is to be any safety in this country. Miss Elma Steury, Monroe township young lady has captured the blue ribbon at the Indiana state fair with her yearling heifer, an honor worth while and one not taken without effort. Miss Steury has been working with the Adams County Calf Club for several years , and she and her |ri|fi<|s' a£e justly proud that she now owns the 1929 state champion junior heifer. Two unmasked bandits robbed a drug store at Crawfordsville in broad aaylight. waiting on customers as they came in and in the interim, thoroughly ransacking the place.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Lockport, N. Y.—(UP)—-A letter addressed to "Oort Almighty,” Lockport, N. Y., was received at the ’ postoffice recently. The letter was ; unsealed and unsigned. While such work is applauded by some who admire the bravado, Its a dangerous precedent and ought to be taken so ] seriously that the men are run down 1 and placed in prison for long terms 1 and then we ought to be careful about ; electing governors who are soft enough to release such characters. — . The Grat Zeppelin is homeward 1 bound in charge of Captain Ernest Lehmann, while Dr. Eckener has gone j to Cleveland to supervise the building I of an American Zeppelin that will per- ' form as well as his famous Graf. He ; believes in the future of these air- 1 ships and has demonstrated that they j can be safely steered over thousands ( of miles of sea and water. Now he desires most of all to see his dreams come true and is encouraging further developments in that line. Many local people have purchased , lots in Homewood, Decatur's newest subdivision and all who have visited 1 this addition proclaim it the finest , ever offered to the public. Within a i year or two, many homes will be 1 erected in that section which is beautifully shaded and well located for i every convenience. Its such move- ( ments as this that makes towns and cities grow and we congratulate ■ Messrs. Meibers and Niblick upon the «• opening success. There are still some - choice building sites worth your attention for seventy-five cents per week deposited in one of these will bring you good returns in a short time if present prospects carry out. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.
