You have a week of fun and tomorrow is Sunday when you ought to find as great pleasure in church as you have on the midway. That makes a good community better. Play a while, work a while and worship a while. Many of the fair visitors this week expressed themselves as being greatly surprised at the Decatur fair and the gayety, the displays, the general happiness of every one, cheered them. What’s the use to stay in the dumps? The man who did the high dive act here this week says he has broken his leg twice, his arm three times and his nose twice, but never had a serious accident. Now he's the kind of a guy we term an optimist. , Former Ambassador Garard has just returned from a visit in Europe and says that Germany is prosperous and is loaning money to Russia which farther complicates matters for why a moritorium if the nation which asks it is able to loan to other countries? Tonight is the big wind-up when every one sings “Home. Sweet Home.’ - and "A Hot Time. - It has been a great fair, clean and wholesome, with plenty to see and do and it has helped because it has cheered every one and brought back the smiles. The Berne Review seems peeved because the fair management advertised a Bluffton day and left Berne out. Why bless your gizzard. Christy, the fair is a county-wide event in which Berne has much to her credit every day and is given due credit. And now to make Dairy Day a big success, it will he different from other days but interesting and helpful and entertaining.

Adams county fartner. The date is October 14th. Over Sunday the wise merchant should think of how he will go after the autumn business the coming week. Only those who move along will finish in this race for trade. Did you notice on the midway this that the live wires did business while those who went to sleep did not? Its the same in regular lines. Some do and some don’t. The football season opened today "and for the next two months, this Xvill be the outstanding game. High sp.hool and college teams will battle soi r . ! ' le gridiron championship and thoft se wll< ’ can tackle, buck and run the® * ,est wi " be the heroes. The firstc Kame of the year was played here? this afternoon and the boys and** girls were Oll t in force. If j the President can start a house buih ng movement it will mean mucL 1 but we don’t understand just howß can be done until the hoi^ lses now built are occupied or trtjtil the forced sale of homes subsides. Perhaps his home buying proposition will extend to the point where a man can be financed to buy or to aid the fellow who has a home half paid for. That would help. There are 260,000 new voters in Indiana for next year's election and thats important for they no doubt hold the balance of power. How will they vote? Much will depend upon how they feel a year from now. They are just ready to enter the field of business and life and naturally they will want to join the political party which offers them the greatest opportunities or rather which stands for those things which they feel will bring the most to them. They are certainly to be considered. Mayor Cermak says there is going to be a big clean-up in his Chicago police force. The boys seem to have thought they could put it over on him like they have others but the new mayor knows a few things and seems to be in earnest about cleaning up the city. Therefore when he discovered that the officers were not playing the game square with him he said so and whats more he has announced his intentions to finish the job by putting on a force that will understand what he means when he orders gambling and vice stopped, that’s what he means. o ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS - Below are the answers to the , test questions printed on page two r I 1.

tration of the new trend in the movies. Consider that only a few years back he was playing the dumb prize-fighter in “Is Zat So?” When the film producers grabbed him in 1927, he went into comedy roles and has stuck pretty close to them ever since. What is responsible for the change? Undoubtedly, the success of Clarke Gable has something to do with it. How long will it last? That’s another question. Producers get gray trying to figure such things out. IT DIDN’T HURT TO TRY. Good news-reel men, like good reporters, think only of getting the aiory. Several of them were receiving advance information on an ancient religious ceremony to be staged in the Los Angeles Coliseum In summarizing the event, officials explained that chimes would sound ' at a certain point. “Just a minute,” interrupted •ne of the cameramen. “Chimes don’t pick up very well. Couldn’t you have them blow a trumpet instead ?” Which reminds me of the Los Angeles photographer who once addressed the queen of the Belgians: “Say, Queen, if you want to , get in this picture, you’ll have to move over.” LATEST GOSSIP.

RENO TIGHTENS RESIDENCE RULE FOR DIVORCEES Judges Threaten Applicants With Jail Terms For Perjury Reno, Nev., Sept. (U.R) Divorcees who come here with the intention of remaining in Nevada less than six weeks and get by’’ with perjured testimony as to establishment of proper residence will henceforth learn that Reno courts are not to be dealt with lightly. Dismissal of the divorce suit without right to reapply in Reno courts and possible jail sentence is the threat which Judges Thomas F. Moran and Benjamin Curler offer to such perjurers. A new ruling that no residence witness except the landlady, landlord, manager or owner of the apartment, rooming house or hotel resided, will be adjudged competent to testify has been made. Cases Denied More than 20 divorce cases were either denied, or dismissed outright, or were continued until proper witnesses could be called, during the past month. Divorce seekers, who are honest with the judge and remain here tor the full’six weeks and a day, will not have the slightest difficulty. The ruling is aimed only at the ’’chiseling’’ divorcee who attempts fraud. If there is a valid reason why the landlady, or manager, cannot appear in court, another witness will be acceptable, it was ruled. The proper and safe thing for the divorce seeker to do when arriving in Reno to take the "cure’’ is to register at a hotel under the correct name and remain there the full six weeks, or move into another residence and "stay put." The less moving around, the better. Two Cases Blamed Two outstanding cases of the fraud that was being practiced upon Washoe county courts, which came to the attention of the judges, are responsible for the new rulings. In one case, a New .York woman rented an apartment by correspondence and arrived in Reno only two days before the six weeks’ rent had been paid on it. She moved into the apartment two days before her case was set for trial and i then attempted to prove to the judge that she was a bonatide resident. Her fraud was discovered however, and she was forced to re main in Reno another six weeks.

That Damned Upstart,” for his latest book. It is published by John Day. Chidsey’s book is recommended to all and sundry who know how to read, for it is indubitibly his best work. Raleigh has been written about in dozens of books, but it is likely that no biographer has turned out as sparkling a story of Ills life as is this one. Over and above the fact that it is historically accurate, its pages vibrate with a fresh and enlivening wit. The gallant, foolhardy, lovable, heroic “upstart” is brought back to us with the same vigorous originality that marked his life—even to the hour his head lay on the block, when he spoke gently to the hesitant headsman: "Strike, man, strike!” Few will deny that Raleigh, tor all his multitude of faults, was the greatest man of his time. And in this sane story of his tempestuous life and dramatic death, he lives and dies again, as titanic and tragic a figure as ever walked the earth. Get your copy. Roark Bradford, who has attained fame for his Negro fables of Heaven, has produced his most significant work in "John Henry," issued by Harpers and chosen this month by the Literary Guild. From the first chapter, in which is related the strange circumstances attending the birth of John Henry, to the last, wherein "Hell Buster Henry" preaches the giant Negro's funeral sermon, the book is superb y

reading—a volume to set alongside i James Stevens’ "Paul Bunyan." Those of you who developed stitches in your sides over Thorne Smith’s "Night Life of the Gods ” and "The Stray Lamb" will be in iterested to know that Smith’s newnovel, 'Turnabout,” will put you in bed for a week. It is a DoubledayDoran book. Smith, in thia reviewer's opinion. | is not only the most sophisticated of American humorists, he is the funniest. In this book he tells of Tim and Sally, suburbanites, and of the strange thing that happened to them by grace of the small god, Mr. Ram. It need only be said Tim. the husband, suddenly discovers that he is to become the mother of a child. And what’s more, he goes through with it with a cigar clenched firmly in his teeth.

Quantrell’s guerillas and the embryonic James’ boys fight and pillage <n Dagmar Doneghey’s "The Border; A Missouri Saga,” published byMorrow. The book proves again that there are still plenty of’thrills in American history against which fiction can be written. The 60s on the Kansas-Missouri border were desperate times, even more so for the wives whose men had gone to war than for the fighters themselves. It is one such wife, Nellie Leinster, whose struggles to keep her family intact show, in Miss Doneghey’s book, one fine phase of the pioneer American woman’s character. "S. S. San Pedro," by James Gould Couzens (Harcout Brace) won the long short story contest conducted by Scribner’s Magazine and. in book form, is a Book-of-the-Month club selection. It is the gripping story of a ship sinking at sea, a fine, dramatic tale that keeps the reader absorbed till the last page. It well deserves the honors it has received. The Mystery of 52 (E. P. Dutton & Co.) is one of Walter S. Masterson's typical yarns. It keeps the reader guessing until the last page as to the identity of the slayer.
