National Advertising Representatives SCHEERRE, INC. 36 East Wacker Drive, Chicago <ls Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dailies Secretary Mellon is preparing to Increase federal taxes for next year, due to the fact that the income this year is falling short of the estimate. That's one big advantage the government has. If they don't get it one way they have the right to get it another. Looks like a four-cent increase in the city tax rate which is just what the officials have been trying to avoid and thought they had whipped until some surprises came up. However they are still sharpening their knives and if there is any chance to prune the estimate down you can bet your last “red" they will do it. Those colored people over at Marion who are petitioning the governor for the removal of the sheriff and for other action as a result of the recent double lynching would probably be acting wiser to stay at home and attend the business of making a living. They gain nothing by keeping the question stirred up and may get decidedly the worst of the outcome. Tile campaign is to open here the first of September, Chairman Ed Bosse announces. That will give the boys about six weeks in which to see the voters and explain . to them the important issues, . which should be about right. There are some things to talk about this year and the points of greatest interest will be clearly put up to the voters in due time. They are deciding down in Texas today whether “Ma" Ferguson or X Ross Sterling will be the democratic nominee for governor which virtually assures the winner of ’ success in November. It has been the same old Ferguson campaign with “Pa" stumping th’ state and - telling the voters why his family should be continued in power and • it seems to take very well down -—in the Lone Star qtate. The boys of the Reppert Auction School, summer class of 1930, have received their diplomas and left for hohie. It was one of the best . classes ever graduated here and »Col. Reppert believes that most of them will make good in their jphosen field. While here they deported themselves gentlemanly and seemed very much in earnest in their desires to learn all the ins and outs of the profession. Good luck boys. After all the situation at Wawassee where it has suddenly been discovered that gambling and bootlegging is going on, is largely up to the people who live In that vicinity. If they want the laws enforced and are in earnest about it they can see that it is done and drive the outlaws out quickly. The trouble usually Is that neighborhoods like that and French Lick feel they gain an advantage by permitting the idle rich to gather there and lose their money and so they keep still. Its their problem largely. A real estate dealer told us to-

♦ TODA VS CHUCKLE 4 (U.R) ♦ London.—-Henry Coules hangI od himself In the kitchen of | his home on his 73th birthday. »_ - < day that he had received more inquiries concerning farms the past week than he had in throe years. Without question hundreds of people are becoming interested in farms and we would think they would at the present prices. Its easily the safest and best investment you can make and in a few years you will be wondering why you didn't have the forsight to do It, just as you do now about Liberty bonds which could have been secured a tew years ago for about 82 cents on the dollar and are now worth more than par. Ixiok what all the (troth caused: President Hoover has felt it necessary to cancel his vacation tour in order to help direct aid for the sufferers; and Marion Talley, exopera prima donna who retired from the stage to engage in her hobby farming, proves to be one of the sufferers and may decide to teturn to grand opera in order to make up the losses of her burnedout corn crop. But not many people who have to give up their vacation tours have such a handy place as Rapidan camp; and not many of those who have burnedout corn crops feel like singing, and no one would want to hear them.—Huntington Herald-Press. We rather approve of that new policy just adopted by the state officials in New Jersey. Providing the owner’s consent can be obtained, all autos declared unsafe or unfit for operation on public highways are destroyed by fire. Abandoned motor cars unfit for operation will be disposed of in the same manner. Such measures may seem a little drastic, but the purpose is good—and the effect probably will be the same. Our annual traffic toll is far too high, and one rojksok for this is the number of ancient wrecks cruising our highways under the guise of motor cars. Bad brakes form their chief danger to life and limb and it is safe to say that most of these old pieces

of junk are so afflicted. An unsafe car on the highway is not only a menace to its occupants, but a menace to all other traffic and pedestrians as well. An auto that cannot be controlled quickly andefficiently in congested traffic is just as apt, perhaps more so, to damage other cars as it is to damage itself.—Frankfort Times. o — * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File ( ♦— — « August 23—Population of Flint, Michigan is 38,550, an increase of 25.447 precent in 10 years.

NECROPOLIS OF CARMONA GIVEN BACK TO SPAIN British Subject Who Purchased Famous Spot To Keep it Unit! His Death Madr’il, Ang. r’z— (UP) — The famous Necropolis of Carmona, one of the most interesting relics of the man don-matlon of the Iberian peninsula, recently was ti-nns ferrod to the State by its own<”, George Bonsor Saint Martin, n British subject who has lived In AndaltP fa neariy all his life. A L.ojal Order was published in the "G Acet a de Madrid’’ of July 24, 1930, nrough which, the Minister of Instruction ard Fine Arts, don Lilas forrnmo, in behalf of King Alfonso accepted the 'donation mad-; bv Bonsor as he, is known in Spain. The government agreed that Bonsor and his family may continue living in the habitable part near •be Necropolis, and that Bonsor will during bis life time be the sole director of the Museum and excavation works. With the donation one of the most interesting relics ot the Roman ora passes into the hands of rhe state and it is believed that Its future care and upkeep will be as sured. The Necropolis was discovered In 186 S, in the course of some road construction, and parts of it were destroyed through ignorance. The Spanish archaeologist, Juan Fernandez Lopez and the painter, George Bonsor, in 1880 bought up most of the land, and began exca vations. By 1885 200 tombs had been discovered, and the next year more tombs and an amphitheatre were found. The most important sepulchre found was that of the Elephant —so named because a painting of an elephant, symbol of longevity—was found in it. It contains a patio, kitchen, bath and several chambers. The Necropolis dates from the second century before Christ to the fourth . century A. 1). Fernandez died in 1925, willing his portion to Bonsor. Carmona is a town of 17,000 very near Seville. o Plenty of good feeding tankage at $2 per hundred. Fred Mutschler Packing Co. 199t6

A limit of one franc apiece, approx'mately 4 cents, is the maximum which any ex-service man can contribute. For some time there has been agita ton for coi.’truction of a monument to the srviour of the Marne at Rivcrsalte? in the department of the Oriental Pyrenees, where the marshal was born, 78 years ago. M. Rene Mannaut, Under Seer.’tary of the Interior, was charged to ask Marshal Joffre's permission for erection Os the statue in his own town. The cld marshal smiled grimly and told the government agent he v.onld cvnsent only on the j condition that every cent of the money be collected by voluntary subscription from the soldiers he cohimamied. He set the limit of each contribution at 1 franc. His lermq wete accepted and already contributions of one franc are pouring in from every province in France and from many corners of the wo-ld. because the marshal ic. eluded the allied soldiers in his stipulations. The .monument is now being er.e■u’ed by the famous French artist Maillard, and it is expected it wi.l be dedicated before the end of the yi-ti.

Sign*posts IMAGINE YOURSELF on an unfamiliar highway at night in the country. You want to go to Allison. Y r ou come to a forked road. No signs! Which way? You turn left and come to a cross-road. No signs. You turn right. You come to a town. It proves to be Liberty. You go back to the fork and turn left. A mile or so farther on you come to another crossroad. A sign pointing right says “Allison three miles.” But for that sign-post you might have traveled miles- -spent hours, and come short of your destination. Imagine yourself in need of hosiery, clothing, breakfast foods or anything else, and this newspaper without advertisements! Advertisements are sign-posts. They are information. They save you from wandering aimlessly from store to store. They keep you advised of the newest products; of the latest values. They save you time, and put greater buying power in your dollars. They assure you of quality and service in merchandise, for only honest goods honestly advertised can stand the spotlight of publicity. Read the advertisements. i Decatur Daily Democrat
