The extremely hot weather this summer seems to have even had I some effect on the weed, fly, insect and other nuisance crops. —— Shorter hours qnd more pay is f course alluring, but we are not “kidding" ourselves .that whatever we get we will have to earn. Long ago we discovered that easy money is just a dream. The average business man these days cau keep himself busy making up reports of various kinds to j comply with all the required regu-1 lations, but if it brings business back, every on is willing to try to smile. • .1 Conte on with the showers. U e need 'em and we don't mean maybe. Corn and beets are thirsty and the pasture lands are burning up. M’-ny farmers are feeding hay to their stock and unless help in the! form of rains come soon and plenti- i ful, the losses will be tremendous. The gamblers are causing the grain market to drop. Os course that was expected when they push-i ed it up as they did. Don't be frightened. The law of demand; will bring it Lack this year with a shortage every where on all kinds of grain. Pull and pray that the improve-1 ment of the Wabash river as pro-! posed by Mrs. Virginia Jencks of, Terre Haute is approved and ordered by the government. It would* ; ave this country a couple of him-! dred thousand dollars and provide | work for all the able bodied unem-; p oyed men in this cciinty as well! as in Wells and Jay. We want the news and each time you call us and give us your items * general interest, yon assist ns in publishing a better paper. In these days of automobile travel, it is difficult to keep track of every one unless you help us. Call 1,000 and tell us the news. The public! will appreciate it and you know of c nirse, we will. Decatur may not get any Federal a d to improve the streets over I which U. S. highways are routed , but while we are at It we are certainly going to see that the records ' are corrected so that the exact widths of these streets are in the hands of the state highway commission. If It doesn’t benefit us now, it may later. Those who ar? again getting the | fever to buy stocks should remem-1 her that those fellows who run the!

business on which the stock is issued know all about It and consequently know when to buy or ; sell. You haven't any more chance to win than you do on any other kind of gambling game and those who stay with it always finish with a loss. Elliott Roosevelt and his girl friend, Miss Googlns, are beginning to find out they are famous. Trying to attend the Century of Progress. they are so beselged with curiousity seekers that they are constantly hemmed in and may have to give it up as an impossible job. The more they plead to be alone, the more they are made uncomfortable. After all they are just boy and girl at the age old business of love making. The President will appeal to every one engaged in any kind of bushiness or industry to accept a uniform schedule of shorter hours ' and higher wages, to provide jobs ; for the unemployed and thus aid in the return of prosperity. Every loyal citizen will respond and it is ■ predicted that in a few months, general*conditions will have been restored to normalcy and perhaps better than ever before. Its wonderful how the American people are showing their courage and loyalty in these days. Senator James Watson is not , | bothering his head about the S. O. IS. calls of Chairman Sanders of 1 the Republican National commit- , I tee. Old foxy Jim says this is not ithe time, but advises them to wait 1 I until President Roosevelt or some , one else makes a “bob.” Then will be the time to go after the plums. Sounds like him but he is apparently overlooking the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is himself watching for I mistakes and when they pop up. ■ he will start correcting them #before the politician gets started. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel boldly states that it is costing S7OO a day more now to operate the state government than it did before . the reorganization plan became ’ effective, but according to the report of the state board of accounts i the expense of the state government for the first five months of this year as compared to the same ; period last year is $2,203,000 less. Must be a mistake some where and we prefer to believe the official kreport. It ought to all be made ' perfectly clear before the 1934 , campaign gets going. ■ With a word of good cheer to those to whom he had been talking a moment before, John S. Pet- ; erson, citizen and business man here, many years, and one of the most popular men of the community, passed away at midnight. Though he seemed to be suffering slightly, he smiled and joked with those near, signifying his attitude I all through life. He took the | “bumps" with a smile and when things looked darkest, you could depend upon words of encouragement from him. He lived well and < ; gloom soon faded in his presence. He was upright, honest and had I rare ability to make and keep friends. He loved his home and spent most of his spare time with his family, but was always ready to serve his community or to help a friend, it s hard to say “Goodbye, Jack." for many of us who ! knew and loved him. o Waring Real Estate Sale Is Postponed The sale of the Waring real estate consisting of the Waring Glove Company factory building and the residence at First and Monroe streets here and the factory building at Rochester, scheduled for ! idly 25th has been postponed to permit the correction of the court records. Because of some error which it was feared might effect the title, it was decided by Cal. E. Peterson, on advice from attorneys to take this action. On the first day of the September term, the corrections will be made and a new order of sale 'asked, probably resulting in the sale being held the lat- | ter part of September. , I o Get the Habit — Trade al Home!
