The rainy season can’t do much : harm and any way a lot of folks tel! us the cisterns are getting so low that wash day is an aggravation. Under the present administration 1 you have had reductions in both the ' light and power rate. It didn’t just happen but came because those in 1 charge desired it to and were willing to work at it. Now they declare that there is noth- ' ing new about the position taken by Premier MacDonald and President * Hoover. It was all contained in Wil- 8 son’s fourteen points. The war presi- r dent was right but the people were 1 mad and the politicians took advant- c age of it. We are a peculiar lot of 1 folks, aren’t we? e — t Most farmers througout this part i of the country could have shown a t larger profit if they had produced h sugar beets. Its just another crop n that you can raise and we hope you I all do it from now on. Raise as few " or as many as you feel you can, but tl raise sugar beets. Its better in many n ways. t ““ H S Whoever is chosen as successor to v Dr. E. S. Shumaker, head of the Anti- r Saloon League in Indiana will have v some job if he gets in the limelight _ and stays there as has Rev. Shumaker. Whether you have been with him. - for him or against him, you will admit he has worked at the job and with considerable success. A brother of Al Capone is in jail in Chicago for swindling the governu meat out of taxes on an income of e $974,000 in 1927 and 1928. He says he c made it by betting on horse races and ’ if he did he is the only fellow in the world who ever put such a thing over, i The federal men think he got it by selling beer. Democratic candidates who have e f been canvassing the voters tbjs week are pleased with the outlook. Seems as though the folks will have to have 1 some better reason than the “outs” _ J have produced so far if they don’t continue the “ins.” The record made T by the present administration will stand any test you care to give it and the vote will show the approval of the citizens of Decatur. factories are operating, business is good, the city is improving steadily. , You wouldn’t discharge employes who had worked for you and produced that j record, would you? Then vote for t George Krick and the democratic tic- ’ ket for they have proven capable and t honest. They may not be entitled to ' credit for all of it but they are for ( some of it as sure as the world re- J volves. ( — TTTTTiTTT i It's tlie age of concentration of business, government and about every j< thing else. It may turn out alright. 1 c Only time will tell but we still hope ( the townships can be preserved as ’ they are and with at least some self f government. Once it all gets away < from you, we doubt the benefits will , exceed those you have had under the < old plan. I2LNext year in this state we will again vote on whether or not we shall , change the constitution. There will be some efforts to have this done but •_

I TODAY'S CHUCKLE Chillicothe, Mo., —(UP)—Fluffy is a good watchdog. When a new car belonging to Fluffy's master, I Sam Linville, was stolen. Fluffy I followed. The car was found later with the dog parked upon the side of the machine. we doubt seriously whether it can succeed. No doubt some improvement could be made in the taxing system but the danger is that when two or three hundred delegates get to taking out and adding to a proposed constitution we will have one that will resemble a crazy quilt more than any thing else. Help the field men of the sugar factory secure contracts for beets for next year. Unless sufficient acreage has been secured by January Ist to warrant a continuation of the mill here, you may be sure it will not operate. The owners are fair pnd of course are hoping that enough interest will be manifested to give them a profitable run next year but if farmers of Indiana don’t want to raise beets there is no use to try to operate. Its just a common sense thing to figure out. We urge every one to aid in the present contract campaign. That there were extensive ballot crimes in Lake county in the elections of 1926 and 1928 we have no doubt. That anything will be done about them by the federal government we are beginning to doubt. There is too much uncertainty, too much delay, too much intensity of effort to prosecute liquor crimes, which can be prosecuted at any time, and too little effort to get at the political corruption, some of which will soon be given immunity by the statute of limitaticns. In salary and fees the prosecuting attorney of Lake county draws more money than the President of the United States. For that enormous pay j what has he been doing to enforce the laws of Indiana that it should be necessary for the Federal government to step into the breach and make a showing against liquor criminals whom the state laws can as easily reach and against crooked officials who the state laws can better reach? —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. — —O — Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Fur If necessary to cut fur when remodeling a coat or other garment, never use the scissors. A very sharp knife or an old razor blade should be used to cut through the skin at the back. Sweeping Try putting a teacupful of gasoline into a bucket of water and wetting the broom in it. This absorbs the dust and restores the colors of the rugs. Shoe-horn Either a spoon handle or a folded envelope will make a good substitute for the shoe-horn. o Danger, Mystery, Screajns, Thrills. You’ll Never Forget “The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu.” All-Talking. NEW PHILCO ELECTRO-DYNAMIC SPEAKER High, Low and Intermediate Notes —it gives them all. “It’s the trueet tone, in radio history,” said Mr. Zwick, speaking of the new Philco Electro-Dynamic Speaker. The glory of the piano, that difficult instrument to reproduce, comes in all its splendor. You hear the rumble of the base notes as well as the tinkle of the treble. The rich, round notes of a great baritone are transmitted as though the singer himself stood in your living room. And so, too, with an orchestra. Every instrument, saxophone and violin, banjo and clarinet, bass viol and drum, no matter how high or low the pitch, the program comes in all its true tone and color and without blur or distortion. Perfection in reproduction is secured in the Philco Electro-Dynamic Speaker by several radical improvements in loud speaker construction, one of which is the increasing in size of the cone diameter to a full ten inches and another the use of seamless, metalized fabric which does away with all “paper rattle” and other noises formerly inherent in dynamic speakers. Audibility testa have determined that ten inches for the diameter of the cone is the correct size for perfect reproduction. The exquisite mantel type cabinet in its soft two-toned brown finish, wttli silver trim over the speaker opening. makes an attractive ornament to any room. The Philco is sold in Decatur by W. H. Zwick & Son, furniture store. —advt.
