One of the inconvenient things about 1 a holiday is getting over them and 1 back to the hum drum of every day ' 1 life. Hot days and cool nights. Some 1 folks say its making the corn while i others say it isn't, tt e don t know but the corn in this particular section i looks doggoned good for some reason 1 or other. 1 IS The tax rates are being fixed by the , various bodies and we believe in , every instance the budgets are be- , ing pruned down and the final rates | wiil be as low as it is possible to make them while at the same time taking care of the demands of an exacting ; public. 1 — <EThere will be many outstanding > events during the big fair next week , and you will want to see them all sev- , eral times. Watch for them, the exhibits of t'aim products and live stock. , the parades of various kinds, the mid- , way, the flower show, the household good display, the free acts and a hundred others. Get ready for the . street fair. Its going to be a real one. , The busy season of the year is at hand and it behoves every .oM.to keep going. This is the real harvest season and the wise farmer and the smart business men will be busy the , next several months. Steady advertising. good copy and then proper treatment of customers will assure increased business and a greater profit. , They say the most polite policemen in the world right now are those in Chicago where a popularity contest is on among the traffic cops. They go out of their way to extend courtesies to travelers both afoot and in auto- . mobiles and each day new stories are being told cf unusual kindnesses. Its the right thing to do of course and if a contest brings it about, more power to them. The number of casualties over the week-end and including Labor Day were not really as large as expected for when these double holidays come, we know that thousands of cars will he speeding to get some where and back home again and that at this particular season vacationists were hurrying home for school time, so it was expected that there would be a double dose of accidents. A local citizen who has just returned from a two thousand mile motor trip said the roads were perfect excepting between here and Van Wert where the dust was almost impenetrable. Os course that’s true but we are glad to say that the strip from here to the state line is to be paved during the next year and we are assured that the section in Van Wert county will likewise be hardsurfaced soon. Keeping an airplane up in the air these days seems to be just a question of how much time they wish to fool away. A couplq of fellows "up in thef;air"■ pver Chica'go announce they expect to remain in the shadow of the moon 1,200 hours or some two months. Jack Frost may force them down before the time is up unless they have their heavies with them. They have been up now nearly three hundred hours.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Jackson. 0.. —(UP)—A baby girl | with u perfectly formed tooth was I born to Mr. and Mrs. Hay Gehring of Wellston, near here. I Judge James Moran of Portland . will give the principal address at the Old Settlers meeting to be held Wednesday of next week in connection with the Decatur street fuir and the selection is an excellent one tor Judge Moran is an old Adams county boy. raised In the good old township of Jefferson, has hundreds of friends and acquaintances here and knows much about our history. He is an able speaker and a splendid selection for the occasion. Many cities, large and small, are these days taking advantage of the low price of farm real estate to buy land that can be used for airports, no doubt a wise step for air flying is coming as rapidly as did the automobile craze a few years ago. Within another decade every good town I md city will provide a landing field and a means of getting back and forth to it. lu towns the size of Decatur right now this would be easy for hundreds of acres can be purchased close enough to the city to make it easily accessible and its a matter that ought to be given some serious thought. The Citizens Telephone company, an institution of which we are all justly proud has reorganized by electing the same board and the same officials for another year. The annual report shows a continued growth and the company has made great strides in equippment the past year. The Citizens is one of the few independent telephone companies in the middle west and we feel is one of the best. The service here is excellent and we should appreciate the fact this requires constant attention by capable officials. Under the guidance of Mr. Herman F. Ehinger and his assistants and these supported by a splendid board, composed of excellent business men, the company has grown rapidly and will so continue. We sincerely hope they will for there is a distanct advantage in a home owned utility. MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. When an affair is given for a debutante, should she receive with her mother?
