In ten days the great Decatur street fair with an agricultural exhibit, hard to beat, will open here and every moment will be of interest. Its all free and you can get ready for a fine time. A Knox bootlegger fell dead as federal officers started to read a warrant for his arrest to him, thus saving the government the cost of proceeding with litigation. It doesn't frighten most of the boys (hat bad. Gene Alger and Charles Holmes, two noted criminals of this state tried to escape through a sewer at! the Michigan city prison but they I got lost and were captured, evidently with relief, as they emerged from a trap. Four boys, aged front fourteen to eighteen, bought liquor at Indianapolis and one of them died as a result of the poison. A man and woman are under arrest and deserve whatever punishment the lawwill provide if convicted. And it ought not take long to do it. Most of us are having our "ups and downs" during these times and its mostly downs but it doesn’t do any good to cry about it. Let's profit from the lessons thus learned and go out and do the job over. Some folks with the proper grit and courage will make millions the next few years, so keep on smiling and trying. Perhaps it will be you. And October 14th will be DairyDay in Decatur, with a program to be given by the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., that will include the highest class entertainment for old and young. The program is now being arranged and will be announced in ample time for you to plan to be here and enjoy the occasion. The Decatur free street fair and agricultural show will open September 15th and continue the rest of the week with a special program for each day. It opens with Children's Day and the events will be of especial interest to the kiddies. The rest of the week will be taken i 3g» That Shiny N ose subdued. No more constant ineffective powdering.

up with various entertainments that should please. Get posted and if you can’t attend all the time come for those events you desire most. Riding bicycles and roller skating on the strets is a dangerous practise and those who so engage should use extraordinary care. Os course you have the right but that does not relieve the danger of this sport. A fifteen-year-old lad was ! killed at Kendallville yesterday when a truck struck the bicycle on which he was enjoying a ride. The flower show will be one of | the big attractions at the fair. This | exhibit will be held in the corridor of the court house and JimmyCowan, chairman, and his committee are doing every thing they can to make it the best attraction of the kind ever given here. You can assist by adding your exhibit of flowers. And be sure to see the flower show. Senator Watson is out hammering the bushes for Mr. Hoover, declaring him a great leader. Well, he may be but be hasn't demonstrated it yet and the time is getting short. It will take more than the eloquence of the senator to stir up much enthusiasm along that j line. The people are just waiting for a chance to show the great engineer what they think of him as a chief executive in times of depression. The government, most of the states and about every city and county over this great United | States is already planning ways and means for taking care of the j needy during the coming winter i which ought to be sufficient evidence of the seriousness of the situation. The family which can should now be canning and storing fruits and vegetables, laying in fuel and otherwise providing for the November to May period. Arthur Sapp of Huntington has been a member of the state highway commission but a few weeks but be has already called attention j to some twenty-six needed reforms Jin tlie road program, including the removal of those who permitted theit; differences of opinion to binder the program to the disadvantage of the public. If Mr. Sapp keeps up the good work he will establish a record and acquire the genuine support of the citizens of Indiana. A trip over state highway No. 16 between here and Huntington will convince you that a splendid job lias been done. The road was leveled and filled with stone over which an oil preparation was placed and rolled and the road at this time is | like a floor. If it holds up it will 1 solve the problem of how to replace some of the worn macadam roads. Similar improvement, has been made on the Decatur to Pleasant Mills road by Superintendent Eicher and his men and that stretch of highway is in the best condition it has been for years. o * "reunion CALENDAR ♦ ♦ Sunday September 6 Buck master tamily reunion.

j Cecil B. ; De Milie. I

pastor of a local church, has donned grease- £ paint to portray | a minister in P Radio Pictures’ [ inquisitive prob- ► Icm drama : “Are These Our Children?” Beside s the I money he will ■ get out of it, ’ Reverend Tiernan seeks from motion picture work a knowledge of the acting art. He con-

aiders it a legitimate tool of the ministry. ; "After all,” he declares, “the films and the church are alike in that they both play upon the emotions. The difference is that the films drop the emotions after they are created, while the church controls and guides them. “The theatre,” continues Reverend Tiernan, “got its start at the altar. In the dim ages, the church offered the only form of mass entertainment. It’s services were made to contain the dramatic elements of mystery and suspense. “Every good preacher today is a Rood actor. Os course, he substitutes gospel for make-believe, but he must have the ability to sway his audience.” The Reverend Tieman will not quit motion pictures after one part. He aspires to continue his historic education for some time to come. SUCH IGNORANCE. Cecil B. de Milie writes to Barrett Kiesling from an obscure postoffice in Germany: “This town has had no new building for almost 200 years. Even M. G. M. and de Milie pictures are unknown here. I asked a man if he liked Greta Garbo and he said he had never tasted it.” LATEST GOSSIP. The property departments are in bad at two Hollywood studios. They imported trees and shrubbery for back-lot exterior scenes, and failed to notice a plentiful sprinkling of poison oak. As a result Eddie Quillan can’t work before the camera at R-K-0 Pathe, and Director “Woody” Van Dyke is spending an uncomfortable time at M.-G.-M. • Lawrence Tibbett also was exposed, but the antidote j appears to have saved him. .. Ed-1 mund Love finishes his contract at Fox in a month. His work in “Trans-Atlantic” will insure plenty of offers, so he isn’t worrying. The I last time his contract was up.

■ -additional electrical equipment will be required. When the sun doesn’t shine the company simply will move into its emergency ’ sound stage... The new Masquers comedy will have another cinema celebrity in its cast—John Brown, ’ a 400-pound bear, which has played in pictures for 11 years. One of the animal’s best roles was in Charlie Chaplin’s “The Gold Rush.” They even have its name and telephone number in the casting directories. Dorothy Sebastian, Ned Sparks and Antonio Moreno have the principal human roles in the comedy. NOT ENOUGH JOBS. Fifty stenographers apply for every- job available at the studios. Some merely are attracted by the glamor of Hollywood, but others are ambitious girls, seeking a stepping stone to better things. A few have realized this ambition. Dorothy Arzner, the director, and Arzner Brand Leahy, the scenarist, both started as Paramount typist*. Miss Leahy thinks the stenographer is in an ideal position to learn screen material, productions costs, camera angles and the many details that her flying pencil records in the course of the day's work. The life of the studio typist has its monotonous side, too. Most of the 50 girls in the Paramount stenographic department spend their time in cutting stencils, copying from long-hand and in straight typing. Each script written means from 300 to 400 pages of stenciling. And the hours are very uncertain. Still, there's that off-chance for fame. BOLES’ LAST. John Boles’ last role at Universal will be the romantic lead in “Murders of the Rue Morgue.”

This talkie version of Poe's I famous mystery story goes into p r o d u ction within a short time at the Carl Laemmle plant. Bela Lugo s i (Count Dracula) will enact the role of Dr. Miracle. Universal has j a special ar- j rangement with Boles for this

Mrs. Fleming said, pointing her finger at the pudgy, disheveled prisoner. “You're the man who stayed at my house in Northboro and took my sister away. What did you do with her. what did you kill her for?” Mrs. Fleming's husband also accused and identified Powers as the man who left with Mrs. Lemke to be married and live "on a farm in lowa." The coroner's jury which met for a second time after the arrival til Mrs. Lemke's relatives who established identification returned a verdict accusing Powers of all five killings.
