There was more than a million dol- ; lars less building investment in Indiana last month than in the same mouth last year. Guess the boys were i busy with the markets and one thing i and another. If thats it. they per- i haps now wish they had stuck to the old methods of increasing their fortunes. x 1 —.. . i Tonight the democratic women of i Decatur will hold their first meeting ; at headquarters and all voters are in- < vited to attend. A program of ] speeches and talks, with refreshments < has been arranged and you will enjoy it and a large attendance should assist ; in creating much interest in the com- i ing election. 013 i - —— i Councilman Vance in his talk lest | evening told modestly of what had , been done by the present adminisya- ( tion the past four years, of their hopes j to so operate affairs the next four , years that the taxes, power, light and insurance rate would be so low that more industries wiii be here and asked support of the voters. His argument was impressive and was re- I ceivetl with enthusiasm. 1 According to President Hoover the ) governments plan is to spend a bil- ; lion dollars on public improvements , the next ten years, which will be fine f and dandy, provided we can make J money enough to pay our share of the ( taxes which of course is necessary s either directly or indirectly. If we t do that however we must work out , farm relief and other matters which will give to all classes an opportunity to earn money. It is easy to make a ‘•gum shoe” campaign. That system is as old as politics. The way it is usually done is to start any kind of a report and then see that it is peddled about so that the voter hears it several times and tlieijt begins to believe it without invstlgation. The election this year is of such importance to every citizen here that we hope if you hear any of these reports and are inclined-to believe them that you will make a thorough investigation before making up your mind or passing it on. Several billion dollars have been lost this week by those holding various stocks. Such things happen and not infrequently. When the market goes up to unheard of beighths because of Ute wild buying it reaches a point far la-yond values based on earning power and then comes the smash. Its a hard old game and usually turns out badly for all but a few experts. Better stick to real estate, local institutions and your own business, according to Roger Babson and a lot ,of other fairly intelligent business men. The first public meeting of the democrats was held last evening and it was a good one, indicative of the interest now being manifested in the coming city election. The headquarters was well filled and the talks by D. B. Erwin, Huber DeVoss, Mayor Krick, O. L. Vance. Dick Heller. S. W. Hale. Herman Gillig, J. T. Kelly and others were enthusiastically received. Lewis Armstrong presided

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Hiawatha, Kas., —(UP) —Three iron wagon wheels, worth less than S2O, were fought over in court here and four witnesses were culled. The entire court costs for the defendant were more than $75. and performed splendidly as chairman. The meeting was one of the best held here in years. A ladies meeting will be held at headquarters tonight and there will be several meetings next week. ( The city debt has been paid off 1 with the exception of for which that sum. in cash, has been set ‘ aside and Is drawing four per cent l interest until the bonds come due in 1 1931. You ought to feel so good over that showing that you would be willing to work from now until election night to re-elect those who have helped to do it and the others willing to cooperate with them to continue the era of good business in city affairs 1 in Decatur. The payment of the debt 1 and the improvements made here the t last several years have been made a r without the issuance of a bond or the c increase ,of the tax, in fact the tax rate for next year is four cents less 1 than it was four years ago. j .— ... We have heard that some are disputing the figures we have printed . regarding the finances of the city. If < you are in doubt we wish you would , « go to the city clerk, look at the rec- I ord and confirm for yourselves that Decatur is in the best condition financially and otherwise it has ever been. You will find that during the past six years the city debt has been reduced ' from $136,419.15 to $51,500, with the v money on hand to meet those bonds when due and with no bills unpaid. ' It is such a marvelously splendid record that there should be a desire on the part of every citizen, jo give , - heartly support to the administration which has made such a showing. — ~, Dusty Miller, lecturer, traveler. I nevippaper editor and publisher and I a lover of all of his jobs, reached out i last night and "took our hands’’ and while he couldn’t or wouldn't tell us what so many lecturers love to warble about, "whither do we drift’’ he could and did tell us how to do it with greatest comfort and with best results for ourselves and every one. Dusty Miller is one of America’s gifted humorists, knows five thousand good stories and tells enough of them each, time he talks to keep his audience!
