Its tine to live in a community like this even when times are off-color. Its fine to prepare for the winter and to secure plenty of fruits and vegetables to have on hands but it shotilds also be remembered that its better to provide employment than it is to hand out doles, better for every one concerned. The Legion boys are trying their best to give us a clean and wholespuje fair and if properly supported, will he able to do so. If you sef’any crooked work going on report it to tlie fair officials or the police and see that those who so engage are driven out of business. Plans now being made by the Chamber of Commerce will extend Balry Day over until evening at which time special attractions down town together with special bargains in the stores should make it one of the best days Decatur ever had in every way. The only purpose back of Dairy I fay which will be held here October 14th is to create greater interest in dairying which has proven to be about the best department of a farm in recent years. That's a worthy thing to boost and that alone should make every one a booster for the occasion. Associated Charities of Elkhart gave a music fiesta the other evening, supported by the city's musical talent which attracted a crowd of SB,OOO and netted more than $2,000 for the funds for the needy to be used next winter. It was a successful event that may be used in other cities as a means for raising funds in a painless manner. As advertised the free acts being shown here this week in connection •with the fair are as good as have ever been seen and would do justice to any state fair. If you like entertainment and thrills of surprise, see these events. The program changes tomorrow and you will want to see the new’ acts. The Old Settlers had a great time yesterday as they always do when they get together to tell of the days "when they used to shoot deer where the court house now stands.” Perhaps there were few of those present but there were many who could tell stories of the hardships their parents knew when this country was being settled. You should get a thrill out of the flower show in the court house corridor and much credit is due James Cowen and his committee who have worked earnestly to provide one of the most attractive exhibits ever

made here. The flowers are banked artisically and the arrangement of fountains, ferns, evergreens and shrubs adds to the appearance. Hundreds have visited the show and you should not miss it. The flash that Don Moyle and Cecil Allen, Tokio to Seattle fliers, ; lost in the North Pacific for ten days, had been located on an uninhabited island in the Hering Sea, brought smiles of happiness to millions all over the world. We like our thrills but we also grieve when harm comes to those who face grave dangers and so we all get a big "kick" out of the recovery of these men who every one thought h admet death in briny waters of the Pacific. The suggestion that effort made through the Chamber of Commerce would bring about the paving of the alley east of the new federal building at the cost of the government is worth looking into. Claims are made that since the expenditure here is less than the appropriation and since the damage to the old alley was caused in the construction of the new building, the officials in Washington will if properly advised, speedily allow the improvement. The President is boosting a home owning campaign and proposes to work out a plan for financing such a program. Just how that can be done we don't know but we are hoping that the committee the President turns this over to will function speedily and with results. The man who owns a home becomes a better citizen. There is no doubt of that but the trouble the last fewyears has been that many who had their homes half paid for had to give them up. If the President has some plan that will solve this he will find plenty of satisfied customers to take advantage of his offer. Our busy census bureau, which has been giving so many quips and turns to the stack of figures about our population gathered last year, has discovered that the length of life is increasing in the United States. There are more old people with us now than were counted a decade ago, but unfortunately, fewei youngsters. Under the heading, "twenty-one or over", the bureau numbered 72,943,624 as compared with 60,886,520 in 1920. Persons between 25 and 44 were described as being in the most productive period of life, and last year there were 36.152.869 of them. Although the country's citizens increased 16.1 per cent as a whole, rising from 105,710.620 to 122.000,000. there were only 2.190.791 infants under one in 1930 against 2,257,255 in 1920.

Three copies of the letter were written by the unnamed penwoman. according to underworld report. One was destroyed, another found its way into Capone's hands, and the third presumably was sent to the office of State’s Attorney John A. Swanson. At any rate, one copy was in the hands of authorities.

Capone was quoted as saying to i Heitler. “Why you dirty rat. It . shows you wrote it (the letter). It names everybialy on the West ' side but you. Another peep out of I you and you're a dead pigeon.” Mike De Pike's purported letter ' was so rambling that many of its allegations mystified police officials. It is replete with tales of graft collections, it tells how CaI pone, Zuta and others divided ; their profits, it tells how Capone “ assertedly ordered the slaying of Lingle, the reporter, after Lingle •‘double crossed" him in a ileal for ' dog racing in the Chicago stadium. Leo V. Brothers was convicted of the murder of Lingle and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. Pat Roche, chief investigator for, the state’s attorney, who pushed the prosecution, cast doubt on that phase of the letter. Roche said: “I investigated the story that ‘ now appears in the so-called Heit- ■ ! ler letter to the effect that Lingle : had obtained $2,500 from Capone on a promise to arrange dog raci ing in the stadium. There never 11 was any proof that it was true. - i There is still no question regard1 ing Brothers’ guilt.” Heitler's letter, if such it is. details events leading up to the - murder of Lingle on June 9. It goes on to tell how Capone ordered Zuta "out of the picture." and , i then to name the men who he I j , feared would kill him. An instance of a police captain . receiving $1,500 monthly graft for t protection was cited. That captain s and others referred to were not named. Acting Police Commissioner p John H. Alcock today was seeking to learn which police officers were meant. 1 o j Leaden Bur,* of Raleigh 0 Wiliamsburg.

There are vast stores of wheat, yet people are starving. "Still, your poorest are more prosperous than the Indian poor. I can| show you Indian villages and Indians actually crumbling under the weight of economic ; pressure.” Gandhi charged that India's economic troubles resulted from "foreign domination." “Give India her freedom, and she will be relieved immediately’ of millions of pounds burden,” he said. Regarding India's silver problem and a world silver conference, Gandhi said frankly he had no definite opinion on silver. "I am not an expert on financial matters, particularly currency,” he ! explained. "I listen) to the arguments of proponents of both the I silver and gold standards and sway I first one way and then the other; but eventually the decision must ; be left to experts, it riiust be remembered. however, that India is fundamentally a silver-using country. Naturally the trend towards the use of silves is becoming a strong economic habit.” A free India. Gandhi went on. would welcome imports. "If we export a bushel of wheat to obtain a bushel of corn which India needs. I heartily approve," he said. "But to export a bushel of wheat to import a British soldier is soul-destroying." In elaborating his hopes for the United States. Gandhi hailed prohibition as an indication: of America's great courage. He referred to it as a "superhuman task,” however, but explained lie would not say the experiment would fail. . But if it failed, he added, it would be a great failure by a great nation and an inspiration to other people. "The task of enforcing prohibition is tremendous.” he said "because drink in the United States is a fashionable sin ingrained in tlie habits of the people. Therefore it is most difficult to make I drink a crime. Drink in India is ' not fashionable. India never had , and never will have your saloons. ! You can walk for miles without i encountering a single public' house.” Gandhi was effable during ”the , interview and talked freely. The , correspondent on arrival was ■
