The state fair closet! last evening after the most successful week for several years. Attendance was large, the show was good and every one seems pleased. The slow up in business the past few days is due to the heat wave and not to the NRA. The people are ready and willing to forward and will do so, when the weather becomes seasonable. The next payment on income taxes will be due between October Ist and 15th and it is important that we remember that the more we pay at that time, the better it will be for the public schools for a ! of it will be thus used. An Anderson man. it is claimed, has invented a method of taking power out of the air, eliminating fuel. Now if he can take the heat out and deliver it during the winter months, he will have .solved some of the most severe difficulties for the average man. Portland. Fort Wayne. Kendallvl le and other places have taken advantage of the present opportunity to beautify, using those who receive township aid to do work that otherwise would be more expensive. There are a dozen spots around Decatur that could thus be improved to the benefit of everyone. Governor McNutt believes the county tax (boards should consider the fact that during the coming year, large sums will be received from the gross income, beer and intangible collections which should relieve local situations. It's a little difficult to guess on these incomes but they should of course be considered. that the rates may be made as low as possible. The uncertainity of life was forcibly demonstrated here yesterday, when funeral services were conducted for three well, known men. Amos Fisher. Kieth Davis and Harry Kooken, all of whom met death through accidents. The same pastor officiated in each funeral service and two of the men, Fisher and Kooken, served as .street commissioner here.

The bonds Issued are gilt J edged and will assist greatly in liquidating closed banks and in re- i lieving Class A banks and insurance companies. It’s a movement 1 deserving of the honest support of every one as a part of the recov- ' ery program. State expenses under Governor McNutt's new plans have saved 1 the taxpayers four and a half mil-I lion dollars during the first seven months of the year. It is bound to ! work to your benefit, though that' will not be apparent in taxes for next year, because the funds have not begun to revolve. In another years, voters of Indiana will be I happy over results, so it may be, well to withhold opinion as to sue-1 cess or failure of the administra- 1 tion until you really have the facts. Don’t worry about the Home Loan Bank bonds. They are about the best investment you can make. They pay 414% interest, which is guaranteed by the government and 1 will be paid promptly. The loan is ! secured by the iHome Loan Corporation which holds mortgages on the I properties involved and these are | amortized, adding to the security | each year. Within a short time, it I is probable the bonds will be worth more than par, as the people realize that they are securities much to be desired. If you really want to know how much money is being spent by the state and for what purpose, you can get the information accurately by addressing William Storen, state treasurer, or Floyd Williamson, auditor of state, at the state " house. They will gladly furnish you the official figures. Many mis- j leading statements to befuddle the voters and taxpayers, are being I sent out at this time, all of which is political bunkum, of the old style, pure and unadulterated. That the NRA is not a political affair and that Republicans and Democrats, as well as all others are joining in this great effort, is demonstrated by the fact that there , has been wonderful cooperation by every one. All are eager and anxious to do any thing they can to , assist in bringing about better ■ economic conditions. It's the fine American spirit that is manifest ] and that's what will make possible . 1 I a success in this country years be-1 fore brighter days come to other , lands. The organization in Decatur is an excellent one, of which ( every one is proud. • _ . — —4 I Answers To Test Questions Below a.e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ♦ -• 1.

There was one part known as Mis-! ery Hill, which was tae hardest climb of all. It is 14,441 feet to the top. Some of the boys that didn't make the top suffered with I

Emperor.Hiromio A report from London that Japan is secretly building warships and hiding them away in concealed bases I for “future use,” followed by the declaration in Sidney, Australia, by former Premier W. M. Hughes, that ' sar in the Pacific is inevitable, focuses attention on the Far East. The recent announcement by AdmiraJ ! William H. Standley, U. S. Chief of Naval Operations, that America would continue to maintain her scout* : ing fleet in the Pacific, evoked a statement from the Japanese Navel Department that the Roosevelt Administration is bent on pursuing the “Hoover Policy” (meaning distrust of Nippon). Meanwhile, by league of Nations mandate. Japan holds all the islands in mid-Pacific, as shown in map. Possession of these islands by Japan drives a strategic wedge between Uncle Sam's two main Pacific possessions—the Philippines and the Hawaiian Island*. The map also shows the relation of the Jap controlled islands to Australia.

At the same time, the association says that the majority of motorists are showing due regard for the rights of others on the roads aqd are not abusing the non-apeed limit rule, although some drivers seem to feel that the new regulations give them free license to do . as they please. “Our r- ports," said Thomas P. j Henry of Detroit.

By and large, the motorists . accept personal responsibility and i realize that excessive speed is ' prints facia evidence of reckless- : ness in case of accidents. “On the other hand, some mo-1 torists seem to accept the absence 1 of speed limits as a challenge to I Step on the gas without n gard to prevailing conditions, or the rights of other drivers.
