It might bg, wise for the boys interested in haying the Decatur-Willshire road mjde a part of the state system to gdt busy. Believe it could be put ovtr right now. •Autumn is near and folks are looking for wearing apparel and for< such commodities as are needed at tnjs time of year. The merchants hive large stocks of splendid goods aid want to sell them. The way to g£t together is for the merchant tcrtell the consumer what he has to»sell through these columns. It always pays. 4’oor old Wall Street is a gloomy aljey now as compared to two years agb. when just before the crash, five million shares of stock were being exchanged there each day. New they have to hurry to get 500,OIMI shares through, a falling off of nißety per cent. Most of the boys wio played the game have gone back to work or are looking for jobs. Next Monday is Labor Day, being another double holiday for the week-end. The occasion will provide many pleasures and no doubt sdfrte sorrow for the added traffic to the highways means numerous accidents if we are to judge from the past. About all that can be said is that if you contemplate an auto journey, be aS careful as ytm cap. then some. Adams Post of the American Legion will take the beautiful float which won first prize at the state conventions of both 1930 and 1931 to. Detroit this month where it will have a place in the parade at the Natiomri convention and its out-

guess it will attract a lot of attention and bring home one of the prizes. Go to it boys and good luck. Decatur has-as fine streets as any small city we know of but there can be some friendly criticisms offered regarding our alleys. Some of them are almost impass- . able and others are nothing to get enthusiastic about. The street and sewer committee of the city council is making the best effort they can to keep them in condition but its a rather difficult job and some day we will probably have to face the proposition of repaving them. Its something that should be kept in mind. A thousand cans of fruit and vegetables would help greatly to relieve any needs that may arise among the unemployed during the coming winter and if each person who has a surplus would furnish some of it. that amount could be prepared and put away to be distributed by the United Charities. One citizen suggests that in addition -to the Aid Societies, the domestic soience classes in the schools could help to advantage. Those who help in this cause will be blessed many times. We like the tone of "Unemployment" in his article in the People's Voice column of Wednesday's paper. He is out of work and is will- ' ing to give his services to aid in preparations for taking care of the needy next winter. He also makes several other suggestions that ’ sound good and which deserve the! earnest and thoughtful consider- ' ation of those in charge of this work. If there ever was a time when we should all work together. I that time is here now and this man is more than willing to do his part His words should inspire the rest of us. As Jim O'Neil of the Indiana Securities Commission sees it: "There is a growing desire among those employed in industry to move fiitf) ~tl|e_, cities to a five to twenty- ’ acre'plot in ’the country, where the I consolidated township schools afford fine primary education for the children, good roads give easy | access to the factory and days that otherwise would be idle may be devoted to raising a substantial part I of the food supply for the family j The artisans may be only making a virtue of necessity in this, for] the intensive mechanization of industry to speed up production dur- I ing the war. and the dfspositioh of j farm hands to seek factory employ-1 ment when not engaged in farm labor, have combined to make the supply of common labor in the cities disproportionate to the demand. The ruralization. of the factory} worker and the industrialization of | the farmer is likely to be one of. the major developments of the next •decade of our national life." • o BARGAINS — Bargains tn living room, dining room suite, matresses and rugs.

Our Advertisers write our Advertisements ■ ■ • Schafer Hardware Co “WE SAVE YOU MONEY” * Decatur, Jnd., Aug. 31 Decatur Daily Democrat, Decatur, Indiana. GENTLEMEN: We want you to know that we believe in advertising in your paper. We were more convinced than ever of your claim that you covered the local trading territory from our experience in connection with our first Auction of Hardware and radio supplies on August Sth. You will remember that we used several large ads in your paper and the crowd attracted to the sale was one of the largest ever brought to Decatur for a sa'es event. We depended solely upon newspaper advertising. We were so pleased with the volume of business done at this sale that we have decided to hold another sale Saturda*. September 5 and it is with great pleasure that we again made use of your advertising columns. We believe the Decatur trading territory is one of the finest in the middle west and it is gratifying to know that we have a local paper which so thoroughly reaches the shoppers who make this city their trading market. I Thanking you for your cooperation, we arc. Yours Very Truly, SCHAFER HARDWARE CO. 1 Per—Fred Schafer. 4»
