Who says 1931 is not different? Not many years can you remember when you had to shovel coal in June. Summer has caught the habit and is still around the corner. The bandits are holding up busses now but so far there have been no reports of any airplanes | being stopped in midair. That may I be a selling point in these days when its apparently unsafe to travel I byYrain, bus or on foot. The stite of Texas is discussing | whether or not they like the 120- i day session as well as they did the sixty days and opinion is very much j divided. Intended to permit more opportunity tor study of the meas-; titej it develops that the boys wast- 1 ed just that much mere time and found it just as hard to quit as bebefore. Decatur's main street, Second, from Adams to the corporation line i and Marshall from Second to the end of Gloss street, will be resur-. faced this year. Bids are to be | received July 7th and the job will i be Jet under the three-mile road law. It is a much “needed improvement and one that will add materially to the appearance of the city. * r. -— 1 Tlie cool weather has not greatly injured the crops in this section from what we can learn. Some of i them have been held back but .in- i J dk-ations are that there will be a | bountiful harvest of corn, oats, wheat and other grains and that | gardens will produce sufficient to i make it possible for every one to 1 get along without going hungry. Every dairy which sells milk j will be required to have a separate I -building for the handling and cool- ' Ing of the product by September Ist, according to orders issued by I the state board of health and these must be built according to plans I and specifications now ready. That’s I something else to think about and ! The stale tax board has ruled ' that a Fort Wayne company is to I have the contract for the construction of the Scheimann bridge on their bid which was the lowest filed. This demand has been approv- . ed by the board of commissioners. The position of the state beard, was that to do any thing else would be

to establish a dangerous precedent. Thats true, but it is also true that these are unusual times and when possible the work should be kept • at home. We hope Putnam & Company will employ as many local f people as they can on the job which is only fair and right. r Chicago is in a desperate financial condition and what will happen " in Americas second largest city is ) somewhat a guqss but that some- ’ I thing has to happen quickly to ■ 1 • ; I avoid the worst disaster in the his- i J tory of any city in the nation seems I assured. The total indebtedness is something like a half billion dollars and besides that they owe the teachers six million, the police and i other officals as much more and there is no end of unpaid bills. Mayor Cermak is doing every thing possible to avoid a smash but it doesn't look rosy. With trucks - and busses getting bigger and better all the time they are already a real problem on the roads and destined to become a greater one very soon. More and more, railroads are going into diI rect competition with them, not caring, of course, how much the j highways may be congested or the i public antagonized since this may 1 trade back to rails faster. ' I Already it is more comfortable aud , ; taster to get in aud out of the large i I < ities by railroads than by auto- p ! mobile, so the steam roads are I I I I getting back some of their wander-1 , 1 ing passengers. On the highways I the trucks dominate whenever and t wherever they please, holding t ■ much traffic to their comparatively | slow speed and increasing mate- f rially all the hazards of driving. I Trailers are being added until small I trains are common, hauling almost las much as did the first of the rail- ] ; road freight trains. Many of these ’ trucks, in fact, are nearly as large ‘ as the European freight car and < can hold eight men and forty horses • ■ as well as did some of the French | conveyances. The service rendered 11 jto business generally by these ~ trucks is their excuse for being and | their chief defense against all at-1 — i tacks. But pleasure cars still far ’ I outnumber the trucks and are chief.ly responsible for the roads that • make trucks profitable and so really j j have the right of way. They are I ! already beginning to quit the roads j I because of the congestion and if they leave in substantial numbers ! lean the trucks keep up the roads alone yr can the manufacturers sell ■enough cars? They must live to- ' gether, so it seems, and find »some ' way to share their common rights ; ! fairly. It might be possibly to bar] the trucks from the highways at certain hours, say from noon until I midnight each day. These hours | I probably are us#d most by pleasure I jrs and others should be sufficient ! .'or the ordinary truck trip. Trafj lie is usually the lightest from mid- ■ night until daylight and then the I | trucks could have the road mostly I Ito themselves when they could ' | make their best time and give the 1 least trouble to others. —The Port-1 'and Expresss. — _:.. .

Charles Farrell will not play in the De Sylva film, because of pre- | vious assignments. It looks as if you will find a couple of songs tucked in “Angei Face,” hut they will be the work of another writer, as De Sylva figures to have his hands full of other matters.
