We presume there are some just criticisms to be offered about the New Deal but it you are honest you will admit it is considerable improvement over the old deal. Only two weeks more for falli tax paying and its important that I you meet that bill. To let your! taxes pile up is just adding to your | difficulties which are sufficient now. There is usually some reason why the writer of anonymous letters doesn't sign his name and if he is afraid to do so, he certainly has no right to expect some one else to carry the load that he won't even acknowledge. We don’t know just what is wrong with the grain market or farm products in general. What we do know is that genuine good / times that will continue, are not here until the farmer is showing! a profit. And whatever is necessary to bring that about is a good thing. Several hot football contests w-ere on today and all over the country the fans and near-fans were enjoying the game. There is nothing in the sport line quite as thrilling as a football game under proper weather conditions with two great college teams as opponents of each other. ?.lerchants are asked to meet Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce rooms to discuss plans for the celebration here on the night of October Bist, Hallowe en. Every thing is in readiness and a go?d time is assured. It is the desire to make it even better than announc'd and-the meeting Monday should be of interest. The farmer’s strike may not seem serious to some lAit to many it is any thing but a pleasant fact and the trouble is they have something to complain about. A business boom that leaves the farmer out will not last very long and the sooner this is seriously considered. the better it is going to be. . _ Those merchants who are advertising wisely, thinking about what they say to the public, are showing increased sales these days. There are a thousand more people work-

ing In Decatur than six months ago and they are spending money tor necessities. Tell them what you have to sell and why they ought , to buy it and watch for excellent results. ■ They tire seriously thinking of continuing the Chicago Century of Progress thrpngh next year. It has been a great success this year, far beyond what most folks thought it could possibly be and it has been j a great fair. It is doubtful if it will be such an attraction for 1934. The thrill Is over, the show has been visited by many millions. It will not draw again as it did this year and it is very probably that it cannot be made as good a show. Some one seems to have helped himself to 125,000 worth of government bonds belonging to the Teacher’s Retirement fund and kept in a safety deposit vault in an Indianapolis bank. For several weeks officials have been making a quiet hunt but when no trace qpis discovered, the federal authorities were called in and are now >n the trail. It does beat all what chances some folks take these days. It is admittedly a wise experiment to drill water wells in the south part of the city and we feel sure the council will use their very best judgment so far as the expenditure of money is concerned. I The public is gravely interested in ■ a sufficient water supply and if j there is need for new wells, it would no doubt be better to drill them as far as possible from the present ones. As to details, that is a responsibility for the finance committee to assume, with the approval of the entire council. That body has demonstrated in the past that they are for the best interests ot the citizens and tax payers and will so continue. Governor McNutt will discuss problems relative to state government, at a public meeting to be held at the North Side school auditorium in Fort Wayne next Tuesday evening at 8:15 o’clock. Every one interested, and all ought to be. are cordially invited. There are many matters of importance along this line just now and the people should know about them. Surely no one has a belter knowledge of the facts than the governor and what he has to say should be worth listening to if we desire to be fair. The meeting is under the auspices of the University Club of Fort Wayne of which Ferd E. Christen, former county agent here, is president. o , < Household Scrapbook -BYROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Tie Hclder The kind of coat hanger that has the extra bar underneath makes an excellent tie rack. Enameled Bed The spots and dirt on an enameled bed can be cleaned by using a little turpentine on a soft cloth, and it will leave a nice gloss on the surface. Onion Odor There will be no more onion odor on the hands if immediately after cutting up the onions the fingers are rubbed with parsley or celery tops. This is well to remember when making vegetable soup, as the parsley and celery can follow the onions.

ROPE SUICIDES NOW ARE PASSE Dallas, Tex.—(U.PJ—The prospective 1933 suicide in Dallas, if he would be in the mode, will prefer poison to hanging as away out. The slightly less fastidious might use firearms, and doubtless there will lie those who will employ gas, or enough water in which to drown themselves. But a rope—only a person who simply didn't care what people would think could dream of hanging himself. For hanging, according to Miss Birdie Smith, is definitely passe. It went out. approximately, with the horse and buggy. And Miss Birdie should know. She is the Keeper of the Vital Statistics for
