Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The weather man hasn't been very generous with his showers but he did dig up his big fan Sunday and cool us off some thirty degrees. You ,<re not old until you think you are. Babe Ruth is still hitting home runs at a clip that causes envy from every youngster in the big leagues. The steel industry has submitted a code of fair competition, guaranteeing work, good pay and a fair deal to every one. Seems as though we are getting some where. The prices of rye is advancing rapidly these days but we can’t figure whether its a short crop, prospects for old fashioned Bourbon or a demand for sandwiches in the beer parlors. One line of business which hasn't yet made any attempt to agree! upon a code of ethics Is the kidnaping profession, which is one of the few that seems to thrive in bad times as well as in good. More work, higher wages, fair deal in business. That ought to be sweet music to a tired ami sick world and it is. Why the folks are actually learning to smile again l and the grouch is gradually fading out. — Adams county real estate, both! rural and city can still be purchased at figures far below actual values. Under the Home Loan plan, you can finance it and those who take advantage of today's opportunities will profit and always be glad of it. Road work in Indiana will put thousands of men to work soon and keep them at it for several months, due to the federal aid new extended. Plans arc being perfected to distribute this new work over the state and this section is promised a full share. Now that we all have the .income tax payment out of our minds, we can begin worrying about the next one which comes in three months, but there is this about it, we will only have to remit one per cent of what we get and here’s hoping we I can al! send in a large check the next time. The more you pay the state, the more you will have. The city of Decatur is keeping up with the state and nation in efforts to provide work for the unemployed and to benefit the people here by making real improvements.

Wls! If you owe several bills which you would like to pay—we will furnish you the cash to square up those bills. You may repay us in terms to suit your convenience and you will only have one place to pay. You will find cur service in such a transaction well worth the cost. For full details, call, phone or write us—no obligation. FBASKLIN SECURITY COMPANY , Over Schafer Hdw. Co. Phone 237 Decatur, Ind.

This week under H. F. Linn, chair man of the street committee, tin program of improving a number ol •I macadam streets by resurfacing ). will be started. Thai's the proper spirit ami it means much to keep it progressing. "' Just how th« pew order which t virtually places all postmasters under civil service will work we 2 haven't the fa’ntest idea, but we J still believe that Postmaster Gen--5 eral Farley aud chairman of the J national Democratic committee, ) knows his "onions." In due time ’ he will make such changes as lie feels are good for the service and incidentally, loyal to the administration. One must be biind and deus if he thinks general conditions have not ■ improved under the skillful management of President Roosevelt. Four months ago every one thought • the end of business had come and 1 chaos was close at hand. Today i the farmer, labeling man, business executives and every one else has taken a new grip and is planning for 1934 to be un old fashioned happy and prosperous year. If that's not doing business, we don’t know how you can be pleased. Indiana seems to be reasonably close to the national average in grain production this year, according to crop estimates reported by the Purdue agricultural experiment station. Corn, the state's principal j crop, is said to show an indicated I yield of 6o per cent .of normal fig-j ures or 16 per cent below the ten-1 year average. This condition was ' ascertained on July 1. Needed rain since then may have produced some improvement. The crop was planted unusually late and the ■ stand is uneven. Decided varia- 1 tion is evident in adjacent fields. —; Indianapolis Star. Under the auspices of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion, the Fourth District junior baseball tournament was staged in this city last week. About a dozen teams participating in the tournaI ment, several cities being represented. It was a happy week for the youngsters and the young Babe ! Ruths from Berne copped the | championship title, defeating the 1 Fort Wayne Archers in the final I game Saturday afternoon. Earl | Blackburn, district athletic officer; for the Legion was general chairman of the athletic event and Decatur had the pleasure to entertain several hundred guests as host city to the junior ball players. Statistics show that over the country the use of books from public libraries has fallen off one-third. It has been quite noticeable here, due perhaps to the fact because of money new books could not be purchased. The local board is planning to take care of the problem in some way, perhaps by a drive for gifts of books or money which will permit them to secure the new editions. It is an important and worth while movement that deserves the heartiest support of the public. We have all received benefits from the public library and we j | should give the same privileges to the young people of today so that 1 they may thus improve their minds in those lines of reading of greatest interest to them. We know of ■ no public convenience which has I brought as much genuine pleasure ■ as the libary. Let’s support it to ‘ the limit by doing all we can on ■ whatever program the board in : control outlines. —6 FIRE DESTROYS BARN SATURDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cattle was housed in the barn. The roofs on the garage and pump house were also damaged. Mr. Fuhrman could not ascribe a cause for the fire, except that possibly a tamp or someone intending to sleep in the straw stack had lighted a match, setting fire to it. Mr. Fuhrman stated the loss was ‘partially covered by insurance and I that he would rebuild a barn as I soon as an adjustment was made. ‘ The fire lighted the sky in the i northwest and man¥ people motorII ed to the scene of the blaze Saturday night.
