Florence seems to have a mind of her own. The Flamingo came down again after about a hundred and fifty hours, teaming it on to the fog this time. Well, boys the third times the charm tliey say and we are willing to back you, morally, once more. «• •Eight taxing units of Adams county Mduced this year while nine show a slight increase. Its a problem just ty>w to meet the demands for continued improvement and Estill keep up with the procession. * -Don't forget when driving along the road to stop your car when you see ai school hack loading or unloading ijassengers. Under the Indiana law yj>u are not permitted to pass until rhe bus starts and the state police have been ordered to enforce it. • ——————— Those .in favor of a commission fbrm of government in Indianapolis now propose to have a ticket of their own, which will probably meet • the same end as do most third parties. You can t organize a political party in a hurry it seems. They must grow from seed. The Indianapolis News doesn't agree with the supreme court in their ruling on the city manager plan but the trouble is the newspaper doesn't have any power further than to express opinion. That al > r all is the business of a newspaper, we believe, and whether or not you agree with the editor, such a policy usually brings about greater good than harm. A “slicker” pulled a fast one out at BMvidcre Illinois, a few days or so ago. They were holding a carnival there and one of the features was the selection of a queen who was to receive a sixty dollar watch. The committee called for a stranger to hold the watch while the decision was made and when they looked for him he had disappeared with the ticker. Some times its safer to trust home folks. Bootleg liquor and stills are being found these days in most unexpected places. In one Indiana town where the boys were playing ball and one of the gang crawled under a church building, several gallons of moonshine was discovered. Down in old Robinson park, near Fort Wayne, still visited by many people bent on picnic or outing, a large still was discovered. You are liable to find the goods or the makings most any place these days. For a month past. Mr. Fred Kinder, one of the most capable advertising men in the country has been calling on Decatur merchants, telling them how to receive the best results from space used in newspapers. He has not tried any high powered methods of salesmanship for that was not his idea or ours. His efforts have been to aid you by suggestions, following precedents which have brought results elsewhere. We hope his services have been of value to you as we are sure they will be if used as per prescription.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Akron. 0., —(UP)—A suit for 125.000 has been filed hero by Mary . Simko against M. Trubach, who she charges pulled a handful of hair from her heud, following a quarrel. ———mm—————— -—w— ————— nil ■» When you drop into a “speakeasy” or road house you ought to understand you are taking serious chances. The place may be pinched and you receive your share of undesirable pubI ilcity or it may even be blown up as seems to have been the case recently at Detroit when twenty people were killed and three times that many injured. It is rumored now that the bombing came from disgruntled bootleggers who wanted the club’s business. Better think twice before you go to such places and then back up. It is reported in news stories (com Washington that the treasury department is seriously considering a reduction in federal taxes and there is no reason in the world why it shouldn't come. With a huge reserve built up by the high taxes of the past several years, even though billions have been spent in a somewhat reckless manner, there should of course come reductions frequently enough to keep the public keyed up. Everybody who pays income tax will appreciate the reduction and will be willing to give all the credit due any one. Senator Borah is an upstanding fighter and asks some mighty direct questions. Sometimes it looks as though he was putting his party in the hole but always when the campaign comes along he finds an alibi and gets right in behind the crowd which be knows wants not only a high tariff but an unfair one. Most folks have lost confidence in bis sincerity as they have in many statesmen and so they are not excited because he has asked the president to state his position. Borah knew it long before he campaigned for him a year ago and now like the rest of us he can tai*- what he gets. ■ o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Furniture Scratches If the furniture is scratched, rub sweet oil into the scratches with a finger tip.
