Look them over and then step in and look at the new goods on the inside. The fair started off with a briskness that indicates a good time for every one. It's a big show and its a wonderful one for this year, showing what can be done if some one works at it. This is a splendid week to visit the Decatur stores while you are in town. Look over the wonderful stocks of merchandise and notice the real values. You can get better selection and more service by buying your fall goods now. The state highway commission will issue “I O U's” to take care of about a half million dollars indebtedness, due to the fact that they have over-reached in efforts to provide as much work as possible during the past six months. The paper promises are good or will be eventually and will bear two per cent interest. The Wells county jail is weak, according to the News-Banner and most any one who gets in there and doesn’t like it can lift out a bar or two and walk to liberty. Looks like that ought to be easily remedied with a little concrete, but go ahead and build a bigger and better jail if you think you are going to need it. Taps have sounded for another of the boys of '6l and the hundreds of friends of Samuel Chronister, 85, are sad today. He was a man of excellent character, a pioneer of this community and held in the highest regard by all who knew him. He is one of the last of the brave boys who defended the Union in the Civil war. The city is all fixed up for visitors and there are more stands and

Os course the i real show Js in the exhibit tents and ' buildings and you may enjoy your--1 self there to the limit and without * cost. Bandits visited Ohio City again yesterday and at the point of guns i took the cash in sight. The car, bearing a California license plate, sped in this direction but the officials and vigilantes failed to find trace of it. One of the robbers is believed to have been wounded and there may yet be difficulty in hiding him away. It was a bad old start for Monday morning. For nearly three quarters of a century, the Old Adams County Hank took care of hundreds of the people of this community In a financial way. We understand that plans to reopen it are nearing completion and that it will be again a substantial bank of service, rendering a convenience to old and new r customers and this accomplished will revive general business and help in many ways. Its fine to be thrifty and about every one has been to a superlative uegree the past several months, but there is a limit to the age of a car, to how long we can wear old clothes and how often they can be patched, how often we have shoes resoled and how long the farm machinery will last. It’s about time to buy new articles and when this starts the up-grade of business will be noticeable. In other words the reserve is about used up. One hundred and fifty years ago this fall, a battle took place in Union township of this county which may have changed the course of the empire. It was the LeBalme massacre. » People little think of that bloody battle now, and time has healed the scars and obliterated practically every trace of that engagement. So it is on other battle fields. The torn earth becomes covered with grass or brush and only a memory remains of the heroic acts or tragedies which took place there. People, too, are quick to forget and one of the happy qualities of human nature is the fact that we remember the pleasant things and the mounds and misfortunes of yesterday are placed behind us.—Columbia City Post. The present business depression is not exactly enjoyable, but it does have a brighter side. For example: the mutual Savings banks of the nation reported that during the six months period ending July 1 their deposits gained $274,000,000, whereas a loss of $83,000,000 was reported for the last six months of 1929. People are saving their money nowadays, instead of drawing on their savings for stock speculation. To that extent, at least, the stock market crash has been a boon. Similarly, big business organizations are being forced to adopt more efficient measures. The prosperity of 1929 and preceding years bred a good deal of slackness and lost motion; this is being eliminated, and in the long run business will be the better for the depression. This, of course, is cold comfort to the worker who has lost his job. It does, however, indicate that the cloud has a silver lining.—Frankfort Morning Tinies. __o Refuse the Prizes Belle Plaine, Minn., — (UP) — Three expensive prizes for the men's laughing contest went begging at the Scott county fair when three winners refused free funerals offered as prizes. The chief women's event was a rolling pin throwing contest.

This corn is typical of the average to be found in Illinois fields around Peoria, a crop observer for a Chicago grain brokerage concern reports. The corn was picked a week ago and would indicate that ravages of the drought will curtail the yield of corn in that district.

Fine “Shinplasters' Nebraska City, Neb. — (UP) — Relics of the past year, a framed collection of fractional currency, called “shiiiplasters,” was found along with a portrait of George Washington in the basement of the Otoe County National bank buildjug here, reveals John D. Stocker, cashier. The Washington portrait carries a date of 1868, showing it was obtained about three years after the bank was organized. The pictures will be cleaned up, Stocker says, and an exhibit made in the bank window in the future. —_ o Town Goes “Wild West” Dead wood, S.

CITY QUIET AS LONDON ENJOYS BANK HOLIDAYS Great Metropolis Deserted By Merrymakers Intent Upon Vacation London, Sept. 9. — (U.R) — Bank holidays are gala occasions with all England on vacation. While the Londoner may not have any Fourth of July, Labor I Day, Thanksgiving Day, or New i Year's Day, he does have his Box- ! Ing Day, Easter and August Bank holidays, and he makes the most ■ of them. These days are even more rush- | ing and gay if they come on Friday, Monday, or Tuesday, since a long week end results. The recent August Bank Holiday, is an example of the spirit which prevails. Four million Londoners packed up their sunshades and mackintoshes (English for slickers or raincoats). and descended on resorts like a thundering herd. With their rapid exit, London was left like a city almost forgotten. Buses rattled over empty streets, subways completed entire journeys with only a handfull of passengers, eating houses closed their doors, bus- . iness firms exhibited locked doors, even afternoon newspapers did not appear as alert as usual. Piccadily, except for the three old flower women and the odd shoeshining fraternity, was dead during the day. At night people came to attend theatres or cinema houses, but the usual seven, eight and nine o’clock crushes were not there. Tlie 4,000,000 got away some where, even if only to the outskirts of greater London. Rpads, rails, waterways, air and by paths were alive with Bank holiday pleasure seekers. Some idea of how London citizens slip away from narrow, crowded streets to the countryside, beach resorts and the continent can be gained by the special accommodations provided by railroads, motor bus lines, tram lines, shipping lines and airways. 2.500 extra trains were run. 15,000 holiday-makers left Euston and St. Pancras before noon of the
