Decatur is f one of the best cities iu Indiana and we should be careful to continue it so. # e Its coming rapidly now. Iu four airplane accidents scattered over the country Saturday night, thirteen peo- * pie met death. As the business of ‘ flying increases, the toll will grow as it has in the automobile fatality lists. Submarine boats and cable sleds are now in use to transport liquor 1 from Canada across the Detroit river. Looks as though the enforcement officers will have to think fast and often . if they are going to out-smart the liquor runners. The streets are clean, the decor- ’ atious are. down and we are all gett- e y ing back to normalcy after a strenuous and very successful street fair ’ week. It was early Sunday morning 1 before the concessioners could begin e to tear down and move out but within e a few hours not a sign was left of tj the gay and busy center. Just how to get it we don't pretend t to know but it would be wonderful ' to have the right kind ot qßimuuity 1 building. If the horses and cattle I shown in the fair here last week t _cou!d have been displayed in a fire- 1 proof, properly arranged colliseum, it < would have added a hundred per cent, i It should be thought out and worked out.. Keep your eye on the Flamingo. That's the name of the Indiana monoplane now trying to break the world . record for flying without a stop. Lieutenants I’eck and Genaro are , piloting the ship which started the ] flight Friday night at 11:55. To break the St. Louis record they will have to soar around the state until October first. One of the largest crowds which ever visited Decatur made "whoopie" on the midway Saturday night. They found the way from attraction to stands, visited with each other, played bingo, knocked the babies down and had a good time until after midnight. It was a peppy finish to the big week and as the old fashioned correspondent would say, “a good time was had by all present.” Any way it appeared that way from the laughter and the gay remarks all along the line. The community is shocked by the sudden death of a leading business man and citizen, Benjamin J. Sirfith, who for more than forty years had been identified with the drug business here. Strictly honest, always courteous and kind, ever alert to those things for the good of the community, faithful in his church, progressive but careful, a splendid and thorough business man, he did much in his quiet way and he will be missed by people in various walks of life here. We offer our sincerest sympathies to his family and to those connected with him in business. Now that we have bad our week of pleasure, cracker-jack, merry-go-round, crack-the-whip, bingo, have seen the products from the nest county in this section of the country, have laughed and played and frolicked, its time to

Its the season for preparing for winter and we call your attention to the fact that Decatur merchants who assisted In giving the big failure your friends, believe In selling you the best goods tor the least money and iu doing their full part all the time In every thing that benefits you and yours. - With due credit to Paul Graham ; and all his assistants for the fair, with every recognition of every member of ( the Legion and all others called upon j for assistance, with full allowance to 1 every merchant and business man ( who aided financially and otherwise and with gratfulness to the public for ; the patronage of the past week, with . knowledge that the city officials, every department gave full support; ‘ every one must admit that the fair ( was one of the most successful events ; ever given in Adams county, again 1 signifying that in union there is , strength and that with cooperation a < community can do big things. There ‘ are urgent demands for a continuation ( of the fair from year to year and we I believe it can be made the outstanding fall event of the middle west. Hundreds of compliments concerning the agricultural department of the . recent fair have been heard. Rarely ( has such a showing been made and , with such complete satisfaction. The 1 exhibits were wonderful, the judging was done by experts brought here for , the purpose, the checks were ready 1 by the time the show was over and ( every body praised the work. While every one connected with this import- ' ant jiart did nicely, we feel that special mention and credit is due Mr. Ferd Christen, whose efforts as county ' agent the past few years and whose untiring attention the past several months was largely responsible for, the showing made, which was so extraordinary that Purdue men and judges expressed the opinion that the exhibits equaled those of state and i international events. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE How Tr.

WAGGONER WINS IN LEGAL TILT Man Who Swindled New York Banks Victor In First Scrap Cheyenne, Wyo,, Sepl. 16— (UP) — , Circumstances favored Charles D. I Waggoner. Telluride. Colo , bank pres, dent, today and assured him of temporary success in his fight against au thorities who seek to return him to I New York to answer for the $500,000 swindle which he has confessed he executed at the expense of six New York Banks. In the first place, there was no Federal Judge available to act on the case. Judge Blake Kennedy was silling in New York state and Judge J. Foster Symes of Denver, who was asked to act on the case, was too busy with his own court to accomodate the anxious easterners. Accordingly, even if there were a copy of a New York Grand Jury indictmtmt on hand, which there was not, the government could not hustle its prisoner away -to the east. Then, too, U. S. District Attorney Walton is out of the city and will have to be away much of the week aud Waggoner’s counsel, S. D. Chump. Denver, a friend of the banker for 25 years, has several cases in th Colorado capital that demand much of his attention. o— STREET FAIR CLOSES WITH RECORD CROWD (CO.VTIN LKI?

Bockman, Lloyd Baker, and in fact all of the members of the local Legion post were responsible for the success of the event. About 25 local citizens including Henry Thomas, Martin J. Mylott, French Quinn, and other well-known progressive citizens also assisted the Legionnaires in presenting the big show. Mr. Graham and Mr. Ehinger, the latter of who is treasurer of the organization stated this morning that a financial report would be published in a few days.

Calif., Sept. 16.—(U.R)—Four large forest fires of threatening proportions kept an army of firefighters active throughout the night and early today in California’s "Redwood empire." Indications were that the next 24 hours would be strenuous ones for those endeavoring to bring the fire under control and prevent devastation to the scenic wonderland. Thirty-eight other fires, 28 of which were in Humboldt county and one in Mendocino county also occupied the attention of the state forestry service. Three fires, which threatened Ukiah, were reported under control. Fire, which broke out yesterday in Trinity National forest near Signal Rock, was being fought today by 100 firefighters who may have to be reinforced. Only meager reports had been received on this outbreak.
