The season Is just opening and more than 70.000 men have started work to harvest t>he crop for 1933. Carl loadings will soon top the 700.000 mark, which means earnings for the railroads this fall and winter and nothing could help to bring back good times in a better way. If Mayor Krick makes as good a selection for street commissioner as he did when he named the late Amos Fisher, he will have the sincere appreciation of every citizen He had all the qualifications and loved his work and he made good each day. AH records for September were beaten last week, according to the federal weather bureau in Indiana and most of us hope they will just let ‘t go at that without making any more trys. Why just think — next Friday is the day when you are supposed to throw your strawhat away, but we can't do it with 95% temperature. Wheat growers of Adams county seemed very anxious to sign the government agreements for reduced acreage the last few years, after giving it careful thought and County Agent Archbold was kept busy until late Saturday night. It is an effort to aid the farmer and certainly deserving of cooperation, i The dog days are behind us and the season of resumption of human activities are ahead. It is only the direction they will take that remains uncertain and that's up to you and we and every one else. We can do things in this community if we get at it with the right intent. And remember it helps to advertise. .. Plans for opening the sugar campaign here on October 9th are going forward, with every indication that the big plant will be in readiness. Many improvements have been made and the outlook for a two-thirds crops are excellent and that's very good for this season which has been one of the worst in many years. We may not be progressing as fast as some would like in our tharch away from depression, but stirely you are impressed with the fact that for five straight months there has been a gain in employment. Better come out of it at a steady gait tlha-i in one jump for there will then be more chances of holding up.

may be fifteen cents per voter for the state but it will probably exceed that In the smaller counties because considerable expense is necessary In getting the equipment, which costs the same in rural counties as in the larger 1 ones, while the cost is distributed over a much less total number of ' eligibles. ' W. A. Klepper who wants Deca- . tur to be the best looking town in | > ] America and thinks it is, comes J | through with several suggestions I that he feels could be carried out J at small cost and big results. His : I thoughts are worthy of careful consideration. Perhaps there are other things along the same line that' would help. Other towns and cities I are doing it and we should march | a step ahead of them all the time. Forbes says business many confidently look forward to the best autumn in several years. In fact, ■ the probabilities are. he declares. ■ . that as compared to the first half ( of the year, it will be the best and j strongest since 1910. These state-j ■ments are not guess or hunch, but are the results of thousands of careful measurements of actual I business trends, according to the methods by which he has successfully forecast business throughout the years. With more than a hundred deaths from sleeping sickness in St. Louis and seven hundred cases reported, it is little wonder that there is grave concern not only by author-

ities there but by the scientists all over the country. An epidemic of this dreadful disease would be one of the worst things that could occur and the government should leave nothing undone to find a cure and to devise methods to prevent its spread. That they will do and are doing. Governor McNutt saved the people of Indiana another million and a quarter dollars in August. Those who are trying to break down his power are not the friends of the average tax payer. They are politicians who will stoop to any thing to win. When an honest, capable man is trying his very best to help the people of his state, he deserves the assistance of honest citizens. Don't be misled by the silly, unsupported bleating now being sent out' through partisan newspapers by the Republican state committee, j I —-— .!
