NICKEL PLATE RAILROAD

An exchange says sometime the driving of a motor car will be joy unalloyed. Busses and trucks will have to travel on their own private lanes. East automobile traffic will have roads to itself free ot slow moving vehicles, blind crossings and sharp turns. There will be no grade crossings, no red lights and no traffic cops. And when all this comes to pass the nation will desert the ground and take to the air. —Huntington News. Automobile acci<\ents Jfrequrnb ly cause legal tangles that are difficult to straighten out and the one which occurred north of here last Friday was no exception it seems. According to all information at hand, Mr. and Mrs. Broddy were killed instantly while the daughter lived a few minutes. Under the law she inherited whatever estate her parents had and the property will revert to those relatives having a claim. Legal contests may result if the relatives do not agree. Os course it's hard to smile when taking it “on the chin" as most folks are these days but after all thats about the best thing to do. We recently noticed a good paragraph on Rev. Sunderman’s bulletin board in front of the Evangelical church. It read: “When you lose confidence in yourself, that makes its unanimous." There is a lot to that. Keep your head up and keep smiling. We are proud of the manner in which hur people have gone through the crisis and that's what the depression has heen. Keep it up. Sir John Simon, K. C., M. P., delivered an address in April in which he said: “Our rulers will beat promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most qourse, commodities thrif fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural **»,, »v punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of the law and hy observing strict economy in every department of the state.” In these threescore and eight words is compressed the- measured opinion of a learned and experienced man on the true function of government. They comprise a sentence that every man in authority and every man whose vote is cast to put another in authority should read and ponder. A land ruled in accordance with Sir John Simon's formula would be well ruled; what more can man seek front the rulershlp under which he lives his life? — New York Sun. oHousehold Scrapbook * By ROBERTA LEE ♦ — tU.R) * Berry Stains To remove berry stains from the teeth rub the teeth with ordinary table salt.

Lil Dagover.

Soon Lit D a g o v e r, former Ufa star and Berlin stage actress, will arrive here. She has a Warner Brothers c o n t r act, and she is scheduled to start work almost immediately upon “The Night Watch," a sophisticated French triangle drama.

At one time, Fraulein Dagover wa3 supposed to play Mata Hari in "I Spy.” This story has been postponed. Perhaps Warners hesitated to pit a new-comer against Greta Garbo, who will be the heroine of another film built around the tragic life of the dancer. Or, it may be the story simply wasn’t good enough. Great care has to be taken in introducing new rtars. There is always the chance of finding a Dietrich. But the first impression must challenge.

" !■ SB To our friends I and depositors I THE two hanks of Decatur deeply ] appreciate the patronaage of the 1 citizens of this community. I A great majority of our accounts have contribul- I ed to the success and prosperity of these institutions j and made of them the sound banks for better service. | Some accounts however with small balances do not j pay the bookkeeping charges entailed in their care as j shown by a survey recently made in both banks. I We have therefore determined that beginning with August Ist. Itt.'Jl on all accounts of an average ; daily balance of less than $25.00, a small minimum j service charge of twenty-five cents per month will be j made with an additional charge of five cents for each check in excess of five checks in any calendar month. W e will, of course, be glad to continue to take care of saving accounts in any amounts without charge. We ask your continued cooperation that these banks may continue to give you the very best service at all times in each department. FIRST STATE BANK, C. A. DUGAN, Pres. ’ OLD ADAMS COUNTY BANK JOHN W.
