Be careful. The flood seeems to be checked temporarily at least and a few Pays of cold weather will give the rivers a chance to empty out a food many gallons and the snap came just in time for the flood stage was rapidly reaching a point of real danger. A New York airplane company has adopted a new scale of prices for their “see New York" planes and hereafter will charge passengers one cent per pound. That will . be line for the youngsters and the young ladies who weigh fifty to a hundred pounds but it will be a little h'gh for those who measure forty-two or better around the waist. Another proposed reduction in power rales in Decatur shows the advanlagts of owning a municipal plant for such action is not being taken by very many oi the private corporations. The local plant is one of the best in the state, splendidly equipped, well managed and shows an annual profit over depreciation. Fine business. According to testimony offered in the Ijtke county cases, per cost of fix ng officials up that way totaled $2.2511, which probably accounts for considerable interest being manifested each time there 1., an election and for some of the r umors abou* high state and government officials in connection witn prohibition enforcement and crooked election scandals. One Decatur Industry paid out nearly six hundred thousand dollars for wages last year and several others have large pay rolls. That helps a city and any thing that encourages Industry Is a benefit to every citizen. Lower power and light rates, lower taxes and the use of home products all help to bring industries to a city and to keep them. Fifteen or twenty state roads in Indiana have been closed the past two or three days because of the floods. As soon as the water recedes and slight repairs can be made they will be ready for use however. Floods are about the most hopeless things folks have to contend with. When they come there is just about nothing to bo done except wait for the sun to come out. Ton can buy famis In Adams i county and Others nearby for ieo»

than the Improvements. Those who remember back fifteen or twenty years remember other times similar and will remember, too. that those who invested in them became rich as a result. Now is the best time you will probably ever have to purchase an Adams county farm and those who do so will surely profit. There was not a fatal traffic accident in Indiana over last weekend It is claimed for which however too much credit cannot be taken for it must be remembered that there was less traveling than usual, due to the high waters, slippery roads and other conditions which influenced the enthusiasm of those who would rather stay home than to travel when they can’t “cut loose” at a seventy-mile an hour rate. Dr. Cook, who twenty years ago was quite a hero when lui posed as the first discoverer of the north pole and was later proven a fake and who then indulged in the use of the mails to sell worthless oil stocks and received a long prison sentence is about to be released. The fellow lias ability and probably has been thoroughly convinced that misrepresentation doesn’t pay so he may do something. Anyhow there are no more poles to conquer and the oil racket has been pretty well worked out. The Decatur city council, agreeable to their campaign promises, are planning a reduction of power rates. Just what it will be has not been definitely decided but it will be sufficient to prove to those wild use uH-oU'ic current for power •that the city ’’dad-s" desire to cooperate and to give them every service possible at the lowest cost. The local plant should be kept on an earning basis for there are stil. a number of improvements to be made but other than a slight profit should of course go back to the power and light users in lower rates. o TEN BEST SELLERS Compiled for the United Press by the Baker & Taylor Co.

Will Lecture Here Tonight X\ WPIt • < -‘Bi fc- x, ■ Llwood T. Cailey Elwood T. Bailey, who has been? secured to give his great new lecture ' Full Speid Ahead" here tonight at Decatur high school auditorium at 8:30 o’clock, under the auspices of the Senior class, always draws the warmest praise from the critics. The following are typical newspaper remarks after a Bailey lecture: "Elwood T. Bailey is a master orator. He is clever and witty and at times turns to sarea-m and irony to make his thoughts take effect, but first be smooths out the road by getting his audience into a good mood by some of his well time wit and humor. Above all he has a telling in. s iage to get across and he gets it across by the very personality of himself. He is a speaker that Gainesville will de well to bill again."--Sun. Gainesville, Fla. "Mr. Bailey, a California business man, has a magnetic appeal in his words that is very inspiring and gripping, and he was given a hearty ovation last night. The main theme of his talk centered around belief—belief in the other fellow and your self. He advanced serious thoughts, intermingling them with rare bits of hunror. He is one of the most popular lecturers that has ever appeared here, on the Chautauqua platform -Republican, Columbus, Indiana. “He made a splendid impression here by his inspirational talks, and the lessons he left with each talk will long be remembered in Danville, where he also made many warm friends.”—Kentucky Advocate,, Danville, Kentucky.
