It seems to us, says Judge, that when business gets better during a republican administration its due to the protective tariff: when it gets worse its because of unavoidable economic conditions. That Texas preacher who told a wierd story of being attacked by four men has confessed it a hoax and admits now that he was trying their bodies weighted and sunk in ' plain every day “loco.” We are at that season of the year i whoa we may expect one hot wave i after another with predictions of cooler weather in between. In i other words it looks like a normal i .summer if we get a little rain i Je&tsionally. i Jimmy Walker, dapper and blithe- ( some mayor of New York City cele- . bratgd his fiftieth birthday the other , day or rather the folks celebrated it for him and the event gave every indication that those who hold him in high regard still far exceed those who would disgrace and de- i throne him. — The announcement that this country will make an effort to assist Germany in her financial troubles caused a decided upward movement on the stock exchanges, showing that if we ever do get a little start we will step right along. The gains on Saturday's market was from one to seventeen points on standard stocks, the best indication for months. The Lima, Ohio, murder mystery j is one of the most gruesome crime stories in months. A young man and woman were murdered and their bodies weighted and sank in an old quarry. It required three j weeks to recover the boy's body j and almost that long before the! body of the girl was found. There be no let-up by the authorities until the pc. ,>etrators of the terrible double murder are arrested and made to pay the penalty. The city swimming pool opened yesterday and for the next eight or ten weeks the boys and girls and j some of their dads and moms will enjoy this place of amusement. Its a wonderful improvement these days and properly used is good for every one. Os course there should be care among the children both by those in charge of the pool and those in care-of the youngsters and with W. Guy Brown as superintendent it follows that will be given. President Hoover is trying to help Germany out' of the economic mire into which the World War dragged them and every one will hope for complete success of snch a movement so long as it is done in a manner that will not work too great a hardship on this country

which just now is having about all the difficulty we should have. We will not however become very prosperous unless there is also improvement in other nations. Summer officially arrived at 3:28 this morning. It will continue until G:24 the afternoon of September 23rd. We are In the season of long days and short nights when the , crops mature, when the weather is normally warm and front the start of last week, this year is to be no exception. We are hoping that the drought which caused so much loss last year will not prevail again and that every one will come through happy. We believe the taxes can be reduced without consolidating townships or counties which we do not believe would be a good thing in the end. We are sure the men who worked out the constitutions acted wisely when they left a certain balance of power in the townships and counties and consolidations usually mean only a transfer of cost to the central agency. The wise thing to do is to curtail expenses in every unit of government to the point where owners of real and personal property should be satisfied. The proposal to postpone pay- j ment of international debts and j reparations seems wise. Germany admits her inability to pay and!' other European nations are in almost as serious condition. In other words unless further time is granted there is danger of entire loss of the debts due this country. Ot course if the United States does this it is only fair that all nations to whom foreign countries are indebted take a similar course. The action was immediately reflected on the stock market and the signs are the strongest towards a general improvement so far noticeable. The Autohaven Hotel Company of Chicago, which recently announced the building of a hundred hotels in the middle west, each to cost $85,000, is out of business. Just check that enterprise off. The ponce raided the office and discovered it just a plain hoax operated by a skinflint named Williams who had recently completed a term in federal prison. In this case he had received $25 from about four hundred contractors and sold a small amount of stock. They say he will not be arrested but it looks as though the federal authorities might | have something to say since he used the mails to defraud. It never did excite us much for we have doubts if any one would invest that | j amount of money just now on a I rural hotel proposition, the outcome I of which would be very doubtful. o ; ♦ « ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS j Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two i ♦ —— ♦ 1.

A Marilyn Miller picture without ' singing or dancing would be a paradox. REPLACES MARY NOLAN. Since Mary Nolan fad d out of the Hollywood picture, Universal has been seeking an actress to plav

and bought a dollar pair of spectacles. He removed one of their lenses, placed it in front of his regular camera lens and secured a soft-focus effect. Later, other cameramen got onto the process, and eventually the soft-focus lena j was developed. > DO YOU KNOW , That Edward H.

LADIES FROM MISSOURI FOUND in the back of any old cook-book, in the “Useful Compendium of Household Hints.” “To test muslin for ‘filling—rub a small section vigorously between the forefingers, and note anv starchy substance that breaks out of the fibers. “To test for color-fastness—before buytng wash goods of any kind it is safest to obtain small samples of all patterns and soak in clear water. “To detect in an ‘all-wool’ fabric—pud the threads apart and apply a lighted match,” etc., etc. How funny they were — these old suspicious-of-everything shopping tests! Grandmother knew them all by heart, and descended on Mr. Biggs, the linen draper, with defiance in her eye. Her little, moistened forefinger shot suspiciously under every proffered length of sheeting or dish-toweling. She took nobody’s word for anything! But how differently you approach a yard-goods purchase in any store today. A name on the selvage ... a label on the end of the b01t... a guarantee-tag that also suggests a method of washing. These are your safety-signals in buying. To the questions “Will it, wash?”, “Is this pure wool?” or “pure silk?”, the saleswoman h'as only to remind you of the trade name of the fabric. When she mentions a name familiar to you through advertising, your doubts are dispelled. Yes ... we still look before we leap, but today that means READ BEFORE YOU SHOP! Decatur Daily Democrat

SPAIN'S TOURIST TRADE JUMPS Madrid, —(UP)— Tourists came to Spain in greater numbers in 1930 than in 1929, according to statistics by the National Tourist Hoard. In 1930 the number was estimated at 440,552 compared with 362,716 In 1929. Undoubtedly one of the factors Influencing the increase was the depreciation of the peseta, which made visitors from other countries find a corresponding decrease lu prices. France furnished the biggest number of tourists Just as the Spaniards furnished the biggest number of visitors to France. In 1930 the French tournists totalled 83,506 compared witli 73,386 in 1929. Great Britain was represented by 38,539 visitors in 1930, against 21,383 in 1929. On the other hand .visitors from the United States and Germany were slightly less in 1930 than in 1929. The National Tourist Board, organized by Primo de Rivera, is being maintained by the republic but
