This is no time to get gloomy—you can’t afford it. When your car loses momentum on a hill you give it more gas and when the same, thing happens to jyur business the fuel to use is advertising. It's the only thing that will take you over the top. Hluffton, Portland, Goshen, and Columbia City have higher tax rates than Decatur, showing that the proposition of .meeting the demands of tile people for improvement are difficult in other places as here. The high school seniors are bringing gs a fine Redpath lecture course wjjich opens next Monday. You will enjoy it, will find it educational, entertaining and elevating. Show that you appreciate this form ol amusement. About the only argument in favor nffhanging the Indiana con stitiuion is that it is old. That's tru<v but so are the ten commandmenXs, the sermon on the mount und.jthe constitution of the United States and even the radicals don't want those changed yet. AsJot of folks wonder why Sir Thomas Liptpn, annually for some thirty years, has spent a lot of nioiiey trying to win a yacht race agagjst America. Well that's easy.! He Js the Lipton of tea fame and he teas until Henry Ford was discovered ihe greatest guy in the worW to gain free publicity. Ajthicago judge has decided that if a, batted ball is knocked into your" lap it becomes your property, the decision being made in a case agahtst a boy who refused to turn back a ball he caught in the grand stand. We presume the normal is lo keep an eye on the hall and whoa it falls in your lap. grab the opportunity. It applies to all the paths of life. Guess we are getting plenty of rain-just now. That’s the trouble, we don't seem to regulate the showers. When we want them badly we don't get them and when we prefer sunshine and a little frost we get gobs of rain and warm v.outlier. Well we are not going to complain-, for we have been treated b< tier in Adams county than in most' sections. Tl»e democratic organization will begin active campaigning m-xt Monday ’and will keep it up until the last vote has been cast on November 4th. The local ticket is an Excellent one and there are many reasons why it should he supported. Your assistance the next few weeks will lie sincerely appreciated by those who believe in (he people keeping the government in their hands. Now comes W. F.

That Is the best to be offered after r two years of heavy pondering over farm relief, though they started ( off with a $1.25 promise ami plenty )of appropriation. The average | farmer will not take kindly to any ) such a program and in fact feels * I Insulted by the suggestion. He is • ! I I used to misrepresentations by the I party in power but this one is about the last straw. Real estute men tell us they are , getting many inquiries as to farms in this county these days and better still, a number of sales are being closed each week. The price tendency right now is upward ami if you intend buying, don't put it | off. Remember you are below any Ipoint ever imagined and when the j prices start upward they will go sailing right along. Now is the time to buy an Adams county farm and its the best investment we know of. One farm was sold twice this month and can be sold again today at a profit of SI,OOO. A number of newspaper editors are worrying because the Harding Memorial, completed at Marion, Ohio, several years ago, has never been dedicated, due to the fact that the highest officials are side stepping the ceremony. There was much talk about the Harding administration. you will remember and shortly after his death came the famous Nan Britton story, followed by several novels which told of highball and poker parties in the White House and now Gaston Means has published a book which tells some more inside stuff that makes every one wonder and shudder. Naturally the big boys prefer not to lend • heir presence to dedicatory exercises and so the plans drag along and the date is postponed time and again. When the great fall, they fall hard. • « Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE m (U.R) « Q Is it proper for a lady to linger n the lobby of a hotel upon her irri val? „ A. No, it is not good form; if she has not made reservations for her room, she should make arrangements a! the desk immediately upon arrival. Q. What colors should a person I wit h a sallow complexion avoid when selecting clothes? Apple green and yellow. Q. May the dishes of Ihe servants •able consist of -left-overs"? A. No; it is very unkind to be careless about the servants’ table. b Lessons In English • —♦ Words often misused: Do not say ‘Mary has luxurious hair.” Say “laxtriunt hair." Often Mispronounced: Nicety.

I ♦ ♦ Dear Editor and Readers: 1 am going to express my opinion of whether or not any benefit can be derived from a free street fair; Well 1 for one am greatly in favor of a fair for 1931 and as many more as the town sees fit to put over. For instance how many of Decatur’s town folks are attending the fair at Hluffton. Countless numbers ongoing there spending their money o there must lie some loft after our Decatur so called fair robbers left ■ own, no doubt a great amount was spent, no doubt a number of our citizens were skinned in gambling games foi I hapen to know some of Detroit's gambling sharks were raveling with tile fair ror tiiat one way of making money. Some of; 'hieago's big gang gangs were here also but no farm came to Decatur. I These men are only human as we ire, and go with these fairs as a I cleans of making money off the easy marks, lint men ought to liable to face what they get. Had they won when gambling all would he well. Hatred. Jealousy aud failire to face defeat causes trouble i I do not favor gambling devices bt-t all fairs have them in way of fortune wheels, ball throwing and many other means of win or loose. 1 Too we must remember these con■essionests had to pay Decatur a good price for every square foot of stre t used. They had tueir help to pay, they claim Decatur people were tight and would not gamble to a great extent on blankets and otb- ;• whatnots they had to play for. They said all the big gambling was done by boys from Fort Jennings. Blutfion and Geneva, some even said the crowd was large but no one was letting go of their money an,’, spoiie of never returning to Decatur, they said ui> to Thursday night they hat! not met expenses.
