From the lack of editorial comment in the papers over the state we are inclined to the belief that city campaigns haven't opened yet in most places. Few of them are mentioning the fact tnat the election is less than five weeks away. It may not be so bad for some of those taller than six feet to get Paget's disease but some of us small--er fellows certainly don’t want any of it. Joe Maylott out in Los Angeles has it and has shrunk from five feet seven to four feet ten, a net loss of „ ten inches. The newly discovered disease, it is claimed dissolves the bones of the body. Did you read Paul Graham's letter thanking the public for their cooperaeion in the recent street fair and promising another one even better for , next year? The Legion boys finished * the first season with a small reserve ..which is a mighty good showing and ■properly supported should be able to “better the fair frpm year to year and •without loss. That's all they ask and that they ought to have. Os course ■ we gladly comply with tbeir request •to boost the 1930 fair. ' * Not so long ago, in fact up until the past year or two for a decade past. -it was bad taste to say the words - “Soviet Russia.’’ but now that is •■changing and Russia is day by day ... becoming more popular. The change , in this country is no doubt due to the , fact that Russia is today spending . four times as much money with industries of America as she did under “the czar. Money talks and some times “rapidly and louder than any thing * else. There were 97.000 fatal accidents in the United States last year, according to Henry A. Reiniuger, president of the National Safety Council, now in session in Chicago. Os that number 27,500 were automobile accidents and strange as it may seem almost that many, some 24,000 were what are termed “home accidents." Mr. Reininger however stressed the automobile accidents because in many instances they were avoidable if proper care had been exercised by some one. There has been some discussion of the Charles Ahr road in St. Mary's township and the county commissioners rightfully and honorably defend their stand. It should be understood that county officials are but the servants of the people and must follow the law. Under the three-mile law. when a petition is properly presented and there are no objections offered there is nothing to be done by the board but allow the road. Complaining about a public improvement after the time for the complaint has elapsed is just as bad as not to complain at all. So far the campaign in Decatur has attracted hut llttlp interest, but there is plenty of time for that. It should be remembered that always there is much organization work to be done and that after all is a very important part of any campaign. Decatur is a democratic city and if the vote is gotten out on election day, its safe to say the entire ticket will be elected by a comfortable majority. That’s the purpose of organizing. Tell the

TODAY’S CHUCKLF St. Altnns. Vt. — (UP)— James | L. Berry Central Vermont railway conductor, recently spent his first vacation 'u 40 years by going for a train ride to New York and Pennslyvanla voters the Issues, announce a platform and then work to get out the vote. While 963,000 driver’s licenses have been issued under the new Indiana law, the secretary of state insists that is tar short of the uumber which should have them. There are 750,000 vehicle licenses in the state and from the average in other states there should be an average of two driver's license for one vehicle, which would make a total of a million and half. The campaign to make every one who drives a car have a license and show it, is now on. You may not like it but the statutes of Indiana tell you to take it and the safe thing to do is spend the necessary fifty cents if you haven't done so. The important thing to consider in the coming campaign is whether or not the services of George Krick and his council have been efficient and satisfactory. We feel there can be one answer to that question for there has been decided progress, economically and sensibly. Several miles of ornamental lights have been added, new streets built, valuable improvements made at the city plant and all of it paid tor. There is a substantial balance in the treasury and with another four years of that kind o? management we will boast of the best small city in the state with the lowest tax rate. Efforts may be made to muddle the voters on minor questions but after efficiency is what you want or should want from your officials. o —• ■ Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Insect Stings After the sting is removed appb ammonia water, or carbonate of soda and water.

LOCAL PEOPLE USE AIR MAIL New Service Is Popular In Adams County Says Postmaster Graham The generally lucreaaed use of the air mail sendee throughout the United States is reflected in the number of local citizens who are making use of this speedy method of communication, according to Postmuster L. A. Graham. who today pointed out that mail marked "By Air Mail” which is posted in the Decatur post office by 7 o'clock P. M. will be dispatched to the nearest air mail terminal where it will connect with planes bound for every section of the nation. During the month of August approximately 23,000 pounds of air mail were flown daily'over all routes an increase of a ton and a half daily over the preceding mouth. This increased use pf the air mail is attributed largely to the better service given by the operators and to the ease with which mailers can make use of it because of the uniform rate of rive cents for the first ounce and ten cents for each addition-1 ai ounce. The average business or social letter weighs approximately an ounce. Practically every phase of business activity has adopted air mail to a great extent, according to the postmaster, and this classification of mail makes up the bulk of the air mail cargoes. Authorities on etiquette and social usage ha 4“ however, put the stamp of approval on air mail as a correct medium of social correspondence, with the result that social mail has become an important part of the total poundage. More than 50.000 miles are flown daily with mail over all the routes opeta ting in the United States. Os this number National Air Tt asport, operat ing the Chicago-Toledo-Cleveland-New York and Chicago Dallas lines, flies 8,600 miles every twenty-four hours, more thau half of which is at night. o Self-Loading Pistol A parahelium pistol is a self-load Ing magazine pistol carrying eight car- 1 fridges in the removable magazine I In the butt When discharged, it automatically ejects the empty cartridge case and reloads.

" - - ~ ' "-s< - i . - ; . I P I lo be Up-to Date | i Means to be Up-to-Chrysler When anything new is produced, there are always those who create and those who follow. In the change to balloon tires, some makers asserted the new type would never succeed. Four-wheel brakes found some who disastrously supported the two-wheel design. And today, there are engineers who decry the Multi-Range Gear Shift and the Down-Draft carburetor. Chrysler has never been among those who shun new things—if the new be better than the old. i The public acclaim for Chrysler, instead, has been based on Chrysler’s pioneering or ready acceptance of those new creations which have made motoring safer, more comfortable, surer and more economical. To be always ahead of or abreast of the times, but never to experiment on the public is the real foundation of Chrysler success. You who prefer the latest, the most advanced, the best, have made Chrysler the most copied car in the world. Because Chrysler has built the kind of cars you up-to-the-minute people want, you have given Chrysler the b greatest success in the history of automobile building, We invite your most critical inspection.
