Only four weeks until the city elec tion. Let's make it snappy. There are many reasons why the present administration should be retained and the voters will be told them. A Plainfield woman has asked a divorce on the grounds that her husband prevaricated to her. There goes the last hope. When they get that established as a legitimate cause, few of us have any chance to beat the suit. Keep the community moving ahead. Cities are like individuals, they either move forward or back up. There is no'such thing as standing still. Decatur has progressed the past several years and it should be the best interest of every one to continue doing so. The state tax board is advocating the abolishment of township lines so far as schools and roads are concerned. There may be argument in favor of this but remember it is also taking these important matters out of the hands of those who are most interested. Its a part of the plan for concentration of government in the hands of a few. • , -''j' Manufacturers of cigarettes got together Saturday and boosted the price forty cents a carton, ending a war that has on several months and caused the smokers to receive cut rate bargains. That's the way it goes. Just about the time we have the problems of expense figured out the big boys patch up their differences and we have to pay the freight. Rev. Harry Clark who is suing “Ma " Kennedy, who is the mother of the famous Aimee Semple McPherson for $50,000 as heart balm may have been bashful and slow and every thing else he claims, but he got there just the same. He nwt her in a picture show and seven days afterward was found with her in a hotel room under rather peculiar circumstances. The federal grand jury which has just reported at South Bend returned 181 indictments of which fifty-three are secret and will not be divulged until arrests are made. However it is rumored that the list includes a number of men prominent in politics and business and naturally a lot of fellows who know they could be indicted for crimes more or less serious are on the anxious seat and will be for several days. The list it is said include men in a number of northern Indiana towns and cities. pet ready for the world series. It opens tomorrow and for a week about every one will be interested in this alb important question of deciding the greatest ball team in the world. Probably a few weeks from now you can’t tell which won it but while the games are on the whole world will watch the scQre boards, listen to the radio, read the papers and thousands will spend a months income to witness one or more of the games. Il's a fine tonic for all of us for it gets us away from petty problems of life. George Krick is a citizen and an official of the solid, substantial kind, who moves steadily along towards a goal. His administration has been of that brand and we maintain that is

They have improved the city and done It within the limit that has been provided without increasing taxes or placing the burden of bonds on the taxpayers. He has been supported by a council composed of business men with the best interests of the community at heart. That's why we are getting along. That's why the administration should be supported by the voters. Think it over seriously for it is for you and yours to do that which is best and wisest. Whether the sugar factory continues to operate here will depend very much on the number of acres contracted for next year and that must be done within the next three months. The owners of the plant, who have operated at a loss for several years will gladly continue to keep the local plant going if the proper cooperation is given. They are -willing to take chances on the market, the tariff and the weather if sufficient interest is manifested to make that course good business, but unless it is Shown that more beet acreage can be secured than has been for several years, it is quite likely they will announce early in the coming year plans for at least temporarily abandoning the only sugar factory in Indiana. That would be disasastrous in many ways and we fervently hope will not be necessary. Already we have heard numerous farmers say they wished they had doubled the contract for this year and many have signed up already for a larger acreage for 1930. Farmers and business men in this section should take an active interest in this matter which is so important. It means an additional crop and a convenient market for it means employment of labor and a general better condition. We urge, the cooperation of every one that the campaign now on for 10,000 written. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Ferns Oftentimes a fern that is considered dead can be revived by standing the pot in a tub of hot water for about an hour or until the water becomes cool.
