Looks queer but the same thing is true of fire arms. Crane on boys with the campaign. Its time to get started and some work to do. The democrats have . a ticket of splendid men and the organization should go out and put them over with a majority that leaves no doubt. Fire burning in peat beds near " atipaca. Wisconsin, crept underneath a large field of potatoes and now these in that locality are enjciying the rare opportunity of pickiig up a basket or fresh baked potatoes. The increase in valuation in Berne and Decathr saved the county from a loss this year, Berne gained in value 3145,000 while* De camr turned in a total exceeding last year by $35,000. Several of the tpwnships show a slight gain. Snap in to business boys, get after your trade, you will be surprised perhaps that hundreds of people in this locality are in the best spirits they have been in several years. We are not out of the hole, but we're getting there. A well written, direct, plain and sensible advertisement is bound to bring results. If you are not using this method of increasing your sales, you are losing the finest opportunity you can possibly have. We invite you to use this paper. Germany, Italy and Austria are doing away with the bill boards along the highways and a similar movement has been started in this country. Much is being said on each side of the question, but those who favor attractive scenery are all 'against the flashy boards. The storm season in mid-ocean seems to be on and the next couple of weeks will probably be dangerous ones for those wno sail the “briny deep. We are hoping the high winds steer away from this country and that the Atlantic coast wilt escape the disasters of the last several years at this season. Lower taxes should be the slogan ot the democrats just now for there is ho doubt, even in the mind of fair republicans, that much of the present trouble is due to the reckless administration of affairs in the general assembly and the con- \ grass. Thousands of republicans wUI vote the democratic ticket this year if promised relief as should be. H. K. Groves, treasurer ot Lake county has disappeared and there is much speculation. The state - accounting department says they won't check his books unless there is evidence some thing is wrong. Might not hurt any thing to sort of glance through them if they can

There seems to be quite a lot of funny business up in that section. Don't be foolish in the coining election. If you are going to get out of the depression which has been rather serious for every one the past year or two, you should see that only those in sympathy with those who earn what they get are elected to office. The present state and national administrations have much to answer for and much to explain if they can show a right to your support. Republican leaders will meet in Indianapolis tomorrow to discuss plans for heading off the defeat which now seems apparent in Indiana. And they have some job. Convincing the average man these days, be it the merchant, manufacturer. farmer, laborer or ot any other occupation that things are just right, looks impossible, but the GOP boys have all the nerve necessary to declare black is white and will try it on you again. Federal officials arrested twentythree persons in Indianapolis Saturday afternoon for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws, the list including twelve policemen, three civilians and eight professional bootleggers. Some of them are making quite a fuss about it but the government men claim to have the necessary evidence. The policemen of course were immediately suspended and now they threaten to tell some secrets. We have wondered how they got by down that way and now we will probably find out. Operators of motor vehicles cannot be warned too often of the unusual dangers that exist in school zones at certain hours of the School day. To forget is human, therefore the constant reminders in the form of signs, editorials, placards and public statements. No errand is so urgent, no mission so important that a motor vehicle must plunge recklessly through a street crowded with happy, thoughtless chy Iren.' The child who rushes impetuously into the path of an automobile or motor truck is less culpable than the driver who fails to keep that vehicle under control in anticipation of just each an emergency. If society cannot expect more thoughtfulness from drivers of motor vehicles than it can expect from school children, there will have to be a lot more weeding out of irresponsible and heedless drivers. Everywhere an appalling number of school children were killed or maimed dur ing the last school term. The man behind the wheel can reduce that tragic toll this year if he starts driving cautiously now-. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File | * ♦( September 22. 1910 —39 people killed and 10 injured at 4 o'clock last evening when tw •> traction cars collided at Kingland.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1930.

♦ 4The People’s Voice This column for the use of our | readers who wish to make sug- | gestions for the general good i or discuss questions of interest. 'Tease sign your name to | show authenticity. It will not | be used if you prefer that it not be. • « • For a Bigger and Better One Editor: I read in this column, Chas. Brock’s opinion on your editorial. "Do you favor a fair next year?” Mr. Brock states that several business men will not subscribe for the fair text year. Does he think that Decatur will profit by such doings? He is right in de--nouncing the skin games, but the Legion and police drove these fel-l lows from the city as soon as they] were found out. If any one squawked, it must of been those that failed to win a prize. A good sportsman will never quit, and these farmers’will do well if they wish to compete in next years fair, to keep right on trying. Next years fair—"lF” Every thing Decatur does, some aid critic comes along and squawks his head off about it. If a concessionist tries to beat 1 th? childre nos their money, it is, bad. but whose door can this fault l he laid? Certainly not the Legion: boys. Mr. Brock states that all money , diverted to the concessioners fails to benefit Decatur, but do we have ; to pick on these carnival men for ■ this? Get some new spectacles, Mr. Brock, then look around. I wrote through this column once before, that the young folks would g-t entertainment if they had to go to other cities for it. Now where will the money go. Mr. Brock? What will your next excuse be? A Street Fall will benefit this whole commpnity for 'he follow-’ ing reasons: It gives the farmers a chance to show their much prized products. It gets old friends together. It provides entertainment to both young and old and last but not least, it makes the men who took part, smile with satisfaction. About the only thing I can see in Mr. Brock is jealousness. Hehates to hear of some person making more money than he. If Mr. Brock reads this, which he most likely will. I wish tc tell him that a good clean Street Fair is a great boost to Decatur, and that his excuse is water soaked. Now, come on folks, while the time is ripe, and let’s hear your sentiments toward this Street Fair proposition for next year. Don't stand back and let the city go to the dogs. We should admire the Legion for their splendid work and shout compliments at them for their success. This writer says: let’s have a big and better Street Fair next year. Donald V. Hill.
