We would like to see him win. They are paying a dollar a barrel for oil at the Kansas and Oklahoma wells and Governor “Alfalfa" Bill Murray must be getting a smile out of that. Detroit is getting ready to care for the needy next winter and with a few more Jim Couzens, the city should he able to do the job in fine style. Some of the legislators commenting on L. O. Chasey’s speech at Marion the other night call the governor’s secretary “bold" and * charge that his accusation about the men drinking during the legislature is untrue. May take an extra session to determine the question. New York is holding mass meetings as a result of the gang warfare which has been going on there for the past week. A better plan might be to start on the trail of the gangsters and fill them with » lead. It's a terrible situation and should be cleaned up. Help keep the boy or girl in school this year. To the young person, school will provide the finest kind of employment, just at a time when it is almost impossible to get a job. No one makes a mistake by going to school and the

I local high school offers the extra j opportunity of taking post graduate work this year. Some of the Japanese suspect Lindy and his wife of flying over military posts in their country for the sake of gaining information and that must make the famous aviator smile. We don't see how anyone can suspect the American ace of doing anything wrong. The advertising for the Decatur Free Street Fair has started and committees have also posted much ,of the out-door material, advising | the public that the big fair will be held here. September 15 to 19. Read the advertisements and become acquainted with the many features and departments which will be given at the fair and write your friends about it. An Adams county farmer with his wife and six children going to the state fair next week will need a truck to haul the wheat and oats to pay for gate admissions. Nine bushels of wheat will be required for his family and the auto and another nine bushels will be needed to buy dinners for the crowd. Then there is gas and a few other things to figure in. The Chinese are a funny people. Hundreds of the refugees refuse aid and will not be rescued • because they believe the river god 'is showing his wrath and punishI ing the people for destroying the dragon. News dispatches tell of the insistence of the Chinese to take their punishment, as they call lit, and some even refuse the water offered them preferring the pollutled waters of the swollen streams. : Human help is shuned and it seems it hat thousands are willing to die. iTo Americans such an attitude is queer. Demands for changes in the tax I law have been made by John Moorman, head of the Indiana board of pardons. Sales and luxury taxes j are recommended. If all communities reduce budgets and expendi- ■ Hires next year and follow a con- ■ servative policv in road improve- • ments and schools, taxes will come down and it may be cheaper than , devising new ways to tax the people. Plenty of money is now raised and it w’ould not help the taxpayer or citizen to put new forms of taxes ' on them, unless some reduction is assured in the general property tax j scheme. • , Regulations adopted by the Decatur public school authorities specify that “children who are six I years of age on or before September 7, may enter the fall term of school, which will begin on September , Sth.” Those whose birthday falls between September 8 and February 1. 1932, may enter the second sem- > ester, which will begin on January 18, 1932. These are the requirements for beginners and no exceptions will be made, M. F. WorthI man, city school superintendent explained. Parents are asked to co- • operate with the school authorities in carrying out the regulations. National fame was won by the Male Chorus of Berne at the Music I Festival held in Chicago Saturday. This chorus of 32 voices was awarded first prize in the contest, I organizations competing from a half dozen states. The recognition is I deserved. For years Berne lias i been known for its splendid singers ■ and musicians and the winning of the Chicago prize by a large group of these singers is proof of their outstanding ability. We congratulate director Harold Reusser and every member of the Male chorus and know that the large audience iand thousands of radio listeners heard the finest singing of the festival when the Berne men took the I platform. As was expected from the course i of events the labor government in England failed to bring about a solution of the crisis over there and J. Ramsay MacDonald, head of the party government resigned. Mr. MacDonald however was not out of

a job very long. King George, order- ( ling him to form a coalition cabinet at once. Forsaking the demands I of the labor party, but still holding a group of that political wing, Premier MacDonald, announced that for the sake of England he would lay down his personal am-1 bitions and attempt to organize a cabinet composed of represent- . atives of all parties. Among them | I will be Stanley Baldwin, able repre- | sentative of David Lloyd George's ■ conservative party. England has , some.big problems, one of the most I important and vexing being taxation and the wiping out of the I deficit in the national treasury. If ; there ever was a time wjjen parties i should get together over there, it’s I right now and unless something is done conditions will become worse. * REUNION CALENDAR F . ■ ■ ———* Sunday August 30 Weldy Reunion, S.
