Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies, if you never owned a gold eagle, get a Blue one. A lot of progress should follow all the changes that are being made* Get out the banners, tune up the band and go to Huntington, August 24. We can’t have Dairy Day in Decatur this year, but we can go to Huntington and invite the Cloverleaf officials to stage the next big dairy event here. The old month of August not L only means the end of the vacation ' season, but the period of time when budgets, tax levies and other such matters become anything but recre- . ation subjects. Over in Wells county 43 appli- * cations for old age pensions have * already been filed. The law, pay- - ing a maximum of sls a month to dependent persons over 70 years of «age, is not effective until January * 1 and those applying now evidently want to avoid the rush. ~ A progressive farmer of this ’ community informed the writer that he had 20 acres of sugar beets ' this year and that the crop was * growing fine. He estimated that " more than half of the tract would w produce at least 16 tons of beets to the acre. The recent rains have * aided the beets materially and pros- ... pects for a good harvest arc better than early estimates. It’s on the record. Monroe street . from the river bridge, west to the .Pennsylvania tracks between “ Seventh and Eighth street, is more ' than 40 feet wide, measured from *■ curb to curb by Ralph Roop, a liceijped engineer. If the state * highway commission has any plans for improving streets which form » part r>f state routes this street ” measures up. STACKS OF GOLD: * » The N. R. A., nickel beer and » Cuban revolt has semewhat sidetracked a discussion of the gold reserve and gold standard ques- ' that we know any ting About it, but having looked over latest figures it is interesting to note that the Federal Reserve banks now hold more of the yellow metal than at any time during the year and tpore than at any time during the prosperous years proceeding the 1929 collapse. This year gold holdings have increased $400,000,000, reaching a to- ' tai of $3,500,000,000, which is more than the reserve banks have had at any period during their 20 years of operation. Total gold stocks of the country,which includes amounts held by thte treasury are $4,320,000,000. Thht's a lot of gold and it seems that Uncle Sam is in good financial shape. THAT ROBINSON SPEECH: We think Senator Arthur R. Robinson would be more effective in any attacks which he may see fit to direct against the Roosevelt Administration s Economy Bill if he would couch those attacks in less

Intemperate language. Senator Robinsou is, of course, by no means alone in his opposition * to the retrenchments embodied in >. the Economy Bill, although we bet lieve it is safe to say that a goodsized majority of the American people are with the President on the .’ matter of stopping the practice of * making promiscuous hand-outs of the public funds. ■ But our Senior Senator is not „ quite fair to President Roosevelt ’ when he fails to acknowledge that 5 the President has taken a definite ■> position favoring adequate compensation for those actually suffering disabilities during or as a demonstrable result of their war service, and has set up 90 boards of review to determine the merits of each case—Fort Wayne News-Sen- . tinel. GOLDEN BANTAM CORN: It is amusing to Hoosiers to observe easterners trying to discuss with some degree of intelligence the properties and varieties . of corn. Indiana naturally is encouraged to note that other sections appreciate the wonders of this succulent vegetable. If east- , enters really seek information regarding any aspect of the great Hoosier crop, they should go directly to headquarters, which is located in almost any field or garden. The desired facts will be promptly and cheerfully supplied. The Washington Post recently printed a dispatch from Long Island announcing the disappearance of genuine Golden Bantam corn. It seems a horticulturist discovered that growers were hybridizing that variety witth larger white species for the purpose of producing a larger ear. This product is supposed to have the traditional advantages of the Golden Bantam. , Experience, however, shows that little but the color survives. The , wonderful Bantam flavor seems to , have been lost. Hoosiers know , that the familiar allusion to painting the lily really referred to any tampering with the wonderful properties of their favorite’corn. There i should be a law against it.—lndian- ■ apolis Star. i ; TREASURE HUNT: Valuable gifts will be distributed 1 by Decatur merchants to shoppers ’ on Saturday, August 19, when the 1 second annual Treasure Hunt will be held here. The treasure hunt will climax a big three-day bargain event, held in connection with the 4-H club show and visitors to the fair and shoppers in general are invited to participate in the fun. It will be as exciting as Robert Louis Stevenson's “Treasure Island’’ story, but void of brigands and pirates. The hunt will start at two o’clock in the afternoon and continue up to 10 o'clock in the evening. Gifts will be displayed in the store windows and all you have to do is to make the rounds of the 100 places where the gifts are given away and try to mjtch the numbers posted on the cards with those on the tickets you hold. ihe tickkets will be given out beginning Saturday of this week, with each purchase made at local stores. The tickets cost you nothing. During the next week you can accumulate quite a bunch of them and a week from Saturday you start on the treasure hunt, hoping at least to find a gift somewhere along the line. Local merchants invite you to Decatur and urge you to attend the big 4-H club fair next week, view the exhibits and then trek back to the uptown district where treats galore await the thrifty and wise 1 shopper. o CARD OF THANKS I We wish in this manner to thank the many relatives and friends who so willingly assisted us during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father, for the many cards of sympathy and flowers, also - Rev. Grether and Mr. Worthman for , their kind words of sympathy and singing. Mrs. Emile Wilder Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wilder , and family. Penny Dance Sunday Sunset.
