The smiling Jimmy Mat'-'m evi-| dently parked his plane in a summer resort in Siberia where the. souvenir postal racket and rural j routes are not on the bill of fare.; — Income tax reports to the state must be filed before the 15th and j those who have neglected this duty j should get busy at once. It’s not { a difficult job if you attend to it. on time. President Roosevelt is no doubt. enjoying Washington more now | than he did the first three months j of his residence there for with con-1 gress adjourned, there is so much > more room to move about in. The Decatur school city is sac- ‘ ing a deficit of about six thousand j dollars, which however is small as compared to most county seat I towns and which we are sure will' be satisfactorily taken care of so I as not to interfere with the education of any of the children. If you advertise, you will doi more business. Every one who ever gave it a fair trial agrees with : that. Then why not plan a campaign along that line? The more pep you put into your business,! the better the results and a display in this paper will do it. Start this week. The extreme warm wave is ap- ( parently easing up and while we are sure to have some more summer, it is not likely we will have a siege like that of the past month, which broke all records for con-1 tinuity at top heat and most of us j hope so. While the crops cannot; reach normal this season, a few good showers would still help in ■ many ways. The General Electric plant is i working five days this week with 1 220 on the payroll and that's the kind of news we like to print and you like to read. We are getting, back to the good old days more, rapidly than most of us thought' was possible and it can't come any too soon.

subject to the same punishment as any other automobile thief. They may think it a prank but the I judge may feel it the kind of joking that must stop. Proof of Improved Uuatnoss conditions are clearly shown in the recent statement of the First State Bank as of close of business June 30. Total resources are again well over the million dollar mark and I the gain the past few months has ,been remarkable, disclosing confi- ! dence of the public and a growth in cash in this community. Liquid assets in the bank total nearly half a million dollars and the statement is one of the best published by this old and tried banking house in several years Colonel Richard Lieber has resigned as superintendent of Indiana’s state parking system and I | some of the editorial writers seem | inclined to make of the incident a| political wrong. With all due credit to Mr. Lieber, under whose direc- ! tion the state park system has unI questionably been improved to a I point to attract national attention, i we presume that some one else can I • continue the work if given the | same financial and moral support ' as has been given the .colonel the ' past few years. It will soon be time again for i making up tax budgets and it must j be remembered that general con-, ditions have not yet reached the | point in improvement when we can do any thing but be careful.; The rates are down now to a point j where it is profitable to own real; estate and they should be kept I there. We firmly believe that the other means of raising money will i , provide sufficient for operation ofl i necessary government and the peo-11 pie general favor trying it out for | I a year or two until we find out. ; j i Every one in Adams county' ought , ! to get back of the proposed move-i ’ I ment to have the federal govern-, ment start the Wabash river inil provement. It would solve the un- , ! employment proposition and make ' i times exceedingly good for some j I time to come, requiring several’ i ' hundred men at good wages and ! ' | limited hours. Mrs. Virginia I, j Jenckes. congresswoman from, Terra Haute is urging the work ' and if successful will have performed one of the most worthwhile services for her state, rend- i 1 ( ered in many years. Her idea is I , (to improve the Wabash from its.’ • source near Celina, Ohio, to its j ■ mouth at the Ohio river. The old;, river has been sung about for i years and it would be a great thing ; for the government to thus recog- 1 : nize it, taking care of course to ( preserve the sycamores and all the ( other things which have been talked about al! over the world. _ Test Your Knowledge I I , Can you answer seven of these | test questions?

Dorman was the. first to greet Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh after their surprise landing here last night. It was in one of his cottages, a little frame overnight camp on the lake shore, that they spent the night. "We were flying up the coast about 7 p. m.. intending to reach North Haven island to spend the night.’’ Lindbergh said, "when the fog became so heavy that visibility was practically negligible. "Flying very low. with much difficulty* I picked out a landing place which proved to be the shore of South Pond. "Our plane was undamaged in the landing." HOME LOAN ACT TO AID OWNERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) should lose his job he has the privilege of a moratorium on both interest and principal for three years at any time during the life of the mortgage. The new mortgage may cover cash for back taxes and necessary repairs in addition to the original indebtedness. Individual operations under the act work out something like.this: Jones has a mortgage on his house. Brown owns the paper and is threatening to foreclose. When the mortgage was signed in boom times the house was valued at $45,000 and the mortgage at 180.000. The present value of the house is $16,000. Jones, meantime, has paid up his mortgage partially and

, he owes Brown only $11,000.1 Jones needs SI,OOO extra to pay [ 1 back taxes and to fix his roof. The home loan association will I give Brown aa 18-year four per . cent bond for SII,OOO if Brown ’ will tear up the old mortgage. Jones gives the bank a 15-year. i< per cent amortization mortgage ' ; for $12,000. The bank advances him SI,OOO in cash for taxes and • i repairs. If the mortgage holder refuses : flatly to relinquish the mortgage. ' lit exchange for a bond, then the corporation will extend the home owner cash up to 40 per cent of I the value of the property with which to take up the mortgage The government then takes a 15year six per cent mortgage. Procedure for operations is not yet entirely perfected, but appli- . cants will expediate consideration of their cases by obtai.iing official evidence of the attitude of the holders of their mortgages toward ( exchanging them for bonds. The home loan bank board, in charge of the new refinancing system expects to announce soon the location of regional offices throughout the country with which home owners will deal.
