Your income tax is due today, but you can wait until July 13 to pay it. Since this is the beginning of a new month the weather man may give us a new deal. The old year is half gone. If the business revival continues for the next six months, 1933 will he j rounded out in pretty good shape. _ - These big New York bankers j would be out of luck if they didn’t have obedient children and agreeable wives to transfer their stock holdings to. Daniel J. Tobin of Indianapolis witl be named state administrator of public works in Indiana. Tobin! is an able executive and will handle the job in away commendable to him and satisfactory to the public. If you need information about filling out your gross or personal income tax blanks, a representative j of the state department will be in Decatur, July 11, to serve you. He i will make headquarters at the local I auto license bureau and will be glad to assist you in this detail. Adams county is rightfully proud of the honor given Mrs. J. A. Long j of Geneva, who was appointed a member of the board of trustees of Central State Hospital, lndianap- j olis. Mrs. Long is deserving of the! recognition, will serve well and | give splendid service to the institution of which she will assist in supervising. Collections of state gas tax amounted to $1,621,826.91 during May. an increase of $154,359.30, over the same month a year ago. The consumption of gasoline increased more than three and onehalf million gallons last month, at least an indication that people are driving automobiles more and that truck linos are operating on a heavier schedule. The Federal treasury made a wise selection in naming Frank H. | Cntshall, conservator of the Old-1 First National Bank and Trust Company in Fort Wayne. The appointment is the first step in the rebuilding of this well known financial institution and Mr. Cut shall who lias served as president ADAMS THEATRE Cool Comfort e SUN. MON.

of the hank, is the man best qualified to work out a plan for the reopening. t — " — Offices in the court house will be closed next Monday and Tuesday and the county commissioners will not convene until next Wed- ' nesday, giving public officials and ; their assistants the advantage of a double holiday. Court is not in session and, in cases where the legal services of the officials are required a telephone call will reach them. Other counties are closing Monday and also on Tuesday, the Fourth of July. Newspaper writers have punned the great Primo Camera as the King Kong of the fight ring. He struts iiis stuff like a savage victor and probably lias visions of how easy it's going to be to make a half million ill the next few years. He may not be wrong, because 45,0(10 paid to see him knock the crown off Jack Sharkey. He put the former champion to sleep in the sixth round and was looking around for more. Better page Pop Eye. j In our opinion we don't see any reason why sugar beet acreage i should be reduced next year or any other year. The United States produces only 20 percent of the amount of sugar consumed in the country and it’3 certainly a crop that is not over produced. The i raising of beets and domestic ! manufacture of sugar gives emj ployment to thousands of people : and takes part of the land which j would otherwise be planted in corn or other crops. It’s sad to record that no longer will the public hear the silvertongue and tine words of the Rev. Arthur J. Folsom, for 23 years pas- j 1 tor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Fort Wayne. His sudden death Thursday was a shock to those who knew and admired him. He was a kind, sincere and zealous worker and gave much of his time j and talents to civic endeavors and | the doing of good. His congreI gation will miss him and so will the community in which he worked ■ and lived life with a zest and as a Christian gentleman. The United States government closed its books yesterday for the | fiscal year, showing a deficit of a j billion and three-quarters. That | was running behind at the rate of j $1,800,000 every day, making total j expenditures, $3,950,000,000. In I view of all the relief legislation a big deficit was expected. With a reduced budget beginning July 1, ami with new and addtioual taxes collectable the coming year, the treasury hopes to balance the books at the next period. That’s why President Roosevelt demanded the budget be cut. Eighteen pupils were graduated from the Daily Vacation Bible School Thursday evening. Diplomas were presented to the graduates by Rev. M. W. Sunderman, pastor of the First Evangelical church and dean of the school. Despite the extreme heat during June, class at- | tendance was better than ' expected, proof that the boyos and girls are interested in the subject taught and that they desired to take adi vantage of the teachings ottered L them. The school is a splendid adjunct to the regular school cur- , riculum and it is encouraging to . j know that the youth of Decatur is interested and wishes to learn the lessons of the Bible. Grain Market Prices Again Roar Upward Chicago July 1 —(UP) — Rising , temperatures in the grain be'lt and indications of another dry period ahead sent hulls back into the grain pits on the board of trade todiiy causing a roaring advance of nearly four cents in wheat with the other grains up almost -as sharply News was ignor' d as the bullish * fever mounted.
