The preliminary tax budget with a rate over *3.00 sounds like old . times but the reductionists will probably have something to say before a definite rate is fixed. If you don't think economic conditions have improved, please account for the fact that automobile sales in Indiana were fiftytwo per cent more tor July than the same period a year ago. Samuel Insull is under arrest but has sixty days time to arrange with his lawyers to plan some means of avoiding a transfer to Chicago, where the cards seem to be stacked against him. The city administration desires to cooperate with the NRA by adding a policeman and a fireman, but it requires an additional five-cent levy and that is up to the local and state tax officials. Even Texas seems to have decided that there may be a betetr method of controlling the liquor traffic and has voted wet, something that everyone thought was impossible a few years ago. Washington had a big hurricane last week and some smart fellow described it as the biggest blow since congress adjourned. However it was far from a joke, as fifty people were killed along the coast and the damage was millions. Mayor Kelley of Chicago has to show where he got the income that he failed to pay the government on as well as where he received that from what was in i»uded and evidently he doesn t care to be too thorough in his explanation. More than 2,500 men have been aided to the payrolls in a small area of Indianapolis and the great revival seems to be meeting with equal success everywhere. If we can get that up to where it belongs and then hold on a few months, we can all start singing again. Schools open in this county a week from Monday and the youngsters are about through with vacations with most of them anxious and ready to begin their studies again. In the meantime the parents are busy with preparations that the boys and girls may be spick and span. The big NRA parades over the

country make good publicity but after all that's not what counts. We will have prosperity, at least of a kind that will permit every ‘ one willing to work, to break even, when each and every good citizen does his full part in support of 1 the movement. Inconvenient? Os course, but if it were not, It ' wouldn't amount to anything. There are more ways than one , to "skin a cat,” is an o'd adage. 1 but is brought to mind often. In Michigan the rural schools in many 1 districts where they are hard up. opened two weeks ago and will thus be able to operate a couple of months without he.it, thus saving the fuel and making it possible to get the school term in on the budget. Indications for a fair beet crop are better than any time during the year. The rains have brought many fields tn a point where an average yield is possible and those engaged in this industry are feelj ing more cheerful. About 8,300 acres are approaching the harvest. Work at the big plant here is com ing along nicely and the campaign which will open in October prom ises to be worth while Darke county. Ohio, borrowed about *3,006,000 ten years ago with which they built roads and made other improvements. That might not have been unusual but the fact that they have just met the last payment and don't owe a dollar, is an accomplishment that would | attract attention any time, but more since they have been able to meet every obligation the past several years. * While it is true that some eight or ten former newspaper men now hold jobs in the various state house departments, the propaganda that is being sent out by the Republi can state committee, that this is a publicity bureau is as far from the truth as they could get and ' those who send out such news know the facts. They are also trying to prove that Indiana government is costing more this year than ever before, though the truth is the money being expended is but half what it was a year ago. In due time the people will have all the facts and will make up their own minds as to whether or not they prefer the present system to the old one. ♦ ♦ ' Many Reunions Scheduled For Summer Months Saturday, September 2 Mumma reunion, Franke Park, 11 Fort Wayne.
