Nations and individuals are find- ■ ing out that its easier to loan money than it is to collect it but .its a rather expensive lesson. Germany will work out of her financial difficulties. Its too great a country to just slip out of the picture and her inhabitants are not made of the stuff that will permit it. Those who advertise tell us they are getting excellent results these days, due perhaps to Hie fact that every one is reading your announcements when they appear, more carefully than in many years. It is claimed that because women change their minds after ordering goods, department stores in the I nited States stand an annual loss , of fifty million dollars. Now’ who gets that? This is an ideal summer for the - reaufts but according to reports - there is less business than usual, - dtre probably to the fact that so . few- people who can get away from * business, feel they can now afford to pay tile exorbitant rates which are charged during the short seas- ■ on. , You don t have to be a millionaire to go to Europe these days. Steamship lines are advertising a costs only S2OO round trip. They have quit fooling around and are now going after business in the ° n 'L. real nie, h o<l —by making the price attractive.

The judge fined those who had . one strap down one dollar and ' those who went all the way got a two dollar dose, so at least they ’ know where they stand, Decatur’s court house clock is still operating on “slow" time while most of the other clocks in that city are on "fast.” Young couples find it a favorite pastime to begin their "dates” by the house clock and to time their separation at the front door by the court house clock, which gives them room to argue with the girl’s mother when she calls down from upstairs.— Bluffton Banner. — Interurbans are being abandoned and the rails sold for junk. We wonder why it has never occurred or if it has been thought of, never carried out —turn the right-of-ways into modern hard surface highways, over which could safely and speedily be operated bus and truck lines. Seems as though that is what is going to happen some day and that it may be the only saver for railroad and traction investments. Within a short time state highway No. 16 between this city and Huntington will be one of the finest which leads here. Two coats ol tar on the highway will be followed by a layer of powdered asphalt, making a road which will offer every thing to the motorist that a concrete road has. That should extend Decatur's trade area and will if the merchants will go after the business. No doubt it will mean that a number of people living on and near this route and who have heretofore traded elsewhere, will now come to Decatur because it will be easier. Wise merchants will send them an invitation to trade here. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's complaint about the multiplicity of governmental organizations in Am- ' erica raises a question that is bpuwJ.lo engage more and more of our consideration in the next decade or so. In New York state alone, as he points out, there are no fewer than 13,541 separate, independent governmental units, all of which can and do levy and spend tax money. One citizen can live under the dominance of ten tax levying and spending units. Obviously, some sort of sweeing reorganization is in order. An enormous amount of simplification of the governmental structure could be effected, and with it there should lie great economies in expenditure. So far the ordinary citizen has not worried about it greatly. But taxes continue to rise, in most places, year by year. Let them rise only a little higher and the ordinary citizen will discover that he lias a direct and powerful interest in simplified governmental machinery.— Frankfort Timed. o * REUNION * CALENDAR ♦ _ < Sunday, July 26 » Borne Reunion, Sun Set Park.
