HALF A CENTURY: The First State Bank of Decatur is observing a birthday—fifty years of splendid service to a wonderful Needless to say, President Dugan, Cashier Grpliker, Assistant Cashier Glendening and the other officials and assistants are .receiving congratulations and goo d wishes from hundreds of customers and friends, who are sincere when they wish them many more similar anniversaries. The bank was organized in 1883 and began doing business August lath, with Dr. Thomas T. Dorwin as president and Gus A. Kable, cashier. It was named the Decatur National Bank. In 1903, under a new charter it became the First National Bank and in 1930 the First State Bank. The history of this sound financial institution is well known to the people of this community and its successful combat against the difficulties of the past several years, places it in the list of only a few banks of the state. Resources now are more than a milion dollars, nearly four times what it was in 1,897 and the bank boasts if more than 3,500 depositors. We congratulate the officials and stockholders and assure them they held the confidence of every one. Mr. Dugan has served as cashier and president of the bank nearly forty years and many of those now connected with the institution have served faithfully and loyal y during a long period. To these the community owes a debt of gratitude which is being expressed today. The First State Bank is a real financial concern and its family has a right to feel happy and proud today. It looks very much like a $1 to $1.50 tax rate as provided under the present laws, can be met in hut few townships and cities in the state. The reserves have been used and next year there are some addition >1 expenses, such as registration of voters, the old age pension, the primary and election to be met. Besides this, the valuations are two million dollars less in this county and proportionately every where else. If you can figure how we can pay debts and keep going, without a boost in taxes, the council, commissioners, school boards and trustees would like to have your suggestions. It is prob- i able after next year, with larger receipts from such sources as the gross income tax. licenses and so ■— —- ■' — ■ f n-OANS SMALL PAYMENTS You will like the quick, courteous, confidential service we give you on cash loans.

forth, there can be a reduction but this year its going to be bard going to hold the rates down, so we might as well get ourselves ready for the shock. Every mile of stale highway in Indiana is to be in apple pie order by Labor Day. That’s the order sent out from Jimmy Adams' office and every district and county assistant is doing his utmost to have the posts painted, the weeds cut, the bridges in proper shape and every thing, spick and span. It might be well if every city street which is a part of a state road, was also put in shape so that travelers may have the best impression of Hoosierdom. Col. Fred Reppert will extend an invitation to the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., to hold their next Dairy Day in Decatur. These events were originated here and have 4 place on our calendars that we can't afford to erase. The colonel, representing the Decatur | Chamber of Commerce and the en-I tire county, will do his part in suph manner as to convey to the officials, our sincerity and our desire to cooperate. Janies Elberson, president, and Dan H. Tyndall, secretary of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce will head the delegation from here to attend the Dairy Day at Huntington, Thursday of next week, and indioetions are it will be one we can boast of. The junior band will accompany the delegation and you will not be lonesome if you go for j several hundred from here are ex-1 pected to join the crowd. Buy- Buy now! Buy every thing you need and have so long denied yourself. That's the advice of General Johnson and that's good advice for if we all follow it, we will come through the depression and there won't need to be any severe measures. It’s the key to the whole situation and every business man and every good citizen is helping the great campaign along. An estimated two-third crop of corn as compared to last year is the prediction of Purdue experts, which is considerably better than was anticipated a few weeks ago and which perhaps does not take into consideration the wonderful rains of last week which brought all the corn stalks up a notch or two. Along with his other capabilities. General Hugh Johnson is no slouch when it comes to making speeches. His St. Louis address was one of the finest front every angle the people hive heard in some time. He has a big job and is out to do it the best he can. Now the all important question seems to be how many ounces of keg beer can be purchased for a nickel or a dime. In due time it will ill be worked out for after all the people run the country and get about what they want. o ♦ • Answers To Test | Questions I Below a.e the Answers to the | i Test Questions Printed an Page Two. » < 1.
