The commissioners have reduced j tfte total budget so that the rate ( tw the county’s general fund can be cut five cents from 34 to 29 ’ cents. The highway repair depart-, ment does likewise, reducing its! request for a tax rate to 20 cents I on the hundred dollars. Heretofore the county has always carried an appropriation of $5,000 for emergencies and bridge repairs. This item has been eliminated and the highway department has agreed to do all bridge repairing, the cost coming out of the repair fund. Os course this arrangement does not affect new bridge structures. The commissioners however have not listed any new bridge structures for next year so | it will not be necessary to makel appropriitaons for them. The highway department is also I paying for the cost of oiling county highways, the placing of road markers and other necessary requirements • in the supervision of the ; 2 The fact that next year is an Bectim* year necessitates the levy-!

This means » levy of nearly three cents on the I hundred dollars, based on the I county’s net assessable valuation a little over thirty-two millions | • The step taken by the board of Jommissloners and County HighMay Superintendent Eicher is a food one and their action will *rin£ about a saving to every tax 4»ayer in every township in the xiounty. «, The commissioners and members Os the county council meet on SepJember 8 to consider the appropri-htions-and budget estimates and it Js aasased from steps already takJn that their action will result in savings to the taxpayers next year, w “ The attention of parents and liildren old enough to enter Migh school is called to the announcement published by the De-1 «&tur School Board in Thursday’s ■paper.

(invite the boys and girls to enter 1 high school, where the choice of three courses, Academic. Commercial and General are offered the . students. The announcement contained the curricula offered at the local school and by completing one t.of the courses the student will obtain an education equal to any ! high school student in the state, j With jobs scarce this year, it might i behoove the young man or young 1 ■ woman to continue their studies 1 j I and thus equip themselves for 11 greater opportunities later. The pulling power of newspaper ! advertising was demonstrated again in Decatur Thursday and today by the crowds drawn to a local store, which advertised its sale in the Daily Democrat. . No other advertising medium was used and people from a radius of ten to 20 miles came here to shop. Other stores were also doing business and we are convinced more than ever that i it ’’pays to advertise.” The auctioneers completed their course at the Reppert Auction School today and left for their I homes. The boys came from the j United States and Canada and | were an industrious and fine lot of gentlemen. We wish them well and hope they enjoyed their stay jin Decatur. I The doors of Chicago’s city hall will close unless someone comes j along and loans Mayor Cermak I f 27.500.000 to tide over the city ad- | ministration. They have tried about ! everything else and it might be a ’ u-ood thing closing the city hall for j a while. — i Next year at this time politics will be one of the main subjects of discussion and if the depression doesn't enter into the talk we ll miss our guess. The president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company has accepted the chairmanship of President Hoover’s unemployment out of a job on a party line he’ll save time in explaining things. __ The Lindberghs are getting a few i thrills on their flight to Tokio which I the average person might not like | to encounter on what they would call a vacation trip. I The New Jersey state senator has | got himself into a lot of trouble ' and when he recovers he’ll have a lot of explaining to do. A few more weeks and the vacation season will be over and Calvin I Coolidge will have to begin writing j again. | W ith the city council, school board and county governments cut- . ing rates, it is assured that taxes ; will be lower in Decatur next year. A fine rain and how refreshing it was. No wonder things look bright|«r today. Oil is cheap until put in the crankcase.

When in the store they are greased to keep them from rusting. Paint Spots An effective solution for removing paint spots from garments is equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. Baked Custard For a baked custard, warm the milk before adding the eggs. This prevents water from settling in the bottom of the baking dish. When a very yellow custard is desired, use brown eggs, for a lighter custard white eggs.

WEEDS! j QUEEN MARY of England herself recently told a charity organization in which she was interested, “Advertise! It pays to advertise.” Indeed times have changed. When Queen Mary must talk of advertising, what must the poor mouse-trap builder do? No longer will the world make a beaten path to his door, however won < derful his mouse-trap. Because his competitors are out telling the world about their products in advertising. The world is listening. And buying! For Best Values Read the Democrat | There’s the situation, sad as it may be to some. The most direct, effective, time-tested, economical way of reaching the public is through the medium of a daily i newspaper, in Decatur, the buying public reads the DAILY DEMOCRAT and uses its advertising columns as a shopping guide. Therefore, if you are trying to sell what the public needs and wants, be it a better mousetrap or a better pound of cheese, let the home newspaper be your salesman. • ’ £ I I '‘"™“ Decatur Daily Democrat I
