In more ways than one the auto industry has demonstrated that it does believe in standing still. A postoffice lias been established ' at Little America, but we doubt if j Utere is mueh of a scrap for the i postmastership. — We hope the apparent mania tor I lotting down trees soon is elimiu-j ail’d from the human race. Dillinger got a plane ride from Tucson to East Chicago yesterday and that’s getting up higher tha he ever expected. The Arizona authorities surrendered Dillinger. Makley, Pierpont and Clark to the Indiana authorities and the thugs will lie tried in this state for murder and highway banditry. No use to waste much time, on these fellows and the quicker they get rid of them the better. Examinations of the applicants for the appointment of postmasters at Monroe and Geneva, will be held i this city and at Berne Saturday. Tiie offices are now being tilled by temporary appointments and the ■regular appointments for four years will be made in the near future. We noticed a page of pictures taken in a northern Indiana county recently showing how the ditch ■and creek banks were cleared of trees in the effort to provide fuel for the needy and work for the ’Unemployed. Whit a ghastly picture. It makes you shudder to think that so mauy beautiful trees have to be cut down. ’ Over in Clinton county the commissioners have practically decided to pay a maximum of $7.5i) a month for old age pensions. A to- ■ tai of 338 applications have been filed and the county has available ’only $20,000 to go arou:d. The ’ tension question is being given ‘•much consideration by the county Ricards and it’s a problem to decide *on the best plan, in view of ail the requests made ad the limited •funds. Exhaustion of funds will curtail ..the work of widening U. S. road 27 „north of Decatur and state road 118 “< ast and west of Berne. Tho stato "highway commission is making an effort to obtain additional federal funds and if the request is granted .the widening program will be taken ’up again.

shows as you drive along these Imiißrtdnt highways. Proof that the government's mortgage ami loan banks are helping the real estate owner is shown in the report made by Recorder 1 Walter Bockman. In the last few weeks 11 Federal Land Ba'iks and 10 Federal Home Loan mortgages ■ have been recorded, which means ’ that foreclosure proceedings have been averted and the owners given ' another opportunity to hold unto , their properties. The farm loans ■ amounted to $138,900 and the Home loans, $27,151.10. Debts were ' paid and the sew money released for other purposes. It was a great show, well plan- ’ ned and elegantly carried out. Everybody was happy and in the mood to wish President Roosevelt a happy birthday, mindful of the fact' that in doing so they were honoring their chief executive, in away befitting the high office. The proceeds from the local event will staik up with those obtained in towns even larger than Decatur and those who purchased tickets can feel happy over the fact that their dollar will aid crippled children through the facilities offered Iby the Warm Springs Foundation. I It was a tine thing for the country to do and the local community is | grateful to Norbert Holfhouse and 'the able members of his committee | who so enthusiastically planned i ! and staged the Birthday Ball for, i President. The affairs of Decatur Homesteads. Inc. operating company for the Federal Subsistence Homestead project in this city, will be well administered by the local board of directors and newly elected officers ► of the corporation. James Elberson will serve as president^,Mrs Henry B. Heller, vice-president; Peril L. Litterer, secretary and C. C. Pumphrey, treasurer. They with; James Cowan, E. W. Lankenau of this city and E. L. Middleton of Washington, comprise the board of directors. The incorporation papers for the local company have been tiled, by-laws adopted, application for a $125,000 loan made and all necessary details as required by the Federal government, ha's been complied with. The local officers are waiting word from the architects and in a short time the buzz of the saw and the blow of the hammer will be heard over the 80acre Cade tract selected by the government as the site for the 48 . modern small homes. It will be a venture worth watching and the government men assure the community that it will be a place of which Decatur and the state will be proud. o > # Household Scrapbook | —BY—- * ROBERTA LEE Wooden Floors When scrubbing greasy wooden floors, add a few drops of non-in-flammable gasoline to the water, and it will remove all the stains with very little effort.

"The fund to which you con- ' tribute will undoubtedly permit us to extend the facilities ot Warm I Springs in a greater degree than before.

I know and you know that I there could be no finer purpose I than our will to aid these helpless ; ■ little ones." In conclusion the President exI tended his thanks to the thou ' sands who sent him greetings. I "I thank you," he said, "but ■

Jan. 30. — (U.R) —Approximately $4,000,000 was believed today to have been realized on the 5,000 or so "Birthday balls" and ' dinners held throughout the coun- ' try i honor of President Roosevelt aud for the purpose ot’ endowing ’ the Warm Springs Foundation for infantile paralysis in Georgia. This figure was based on a United Press survey which showed that 2.-42 parties held in 28 states yielded approximately $1,425,000. Calj culated at this ratio the total proceeds would amount to approximately $4,000,000. Official figures will ’ ot be- known for several days. The events were held in 3.600 i communities in every state of the ■ Union. The gatherings ranged from as large as 5,000 at the WaldorfAstoria hotel here, where tickets 1 sold for $5 each, to as small as 15 I couples in a rural Illinois community. where the charge was sl. It was announced every precaution had been taken o insure prop- ' er accounting and limitation of expense costs to a reasonable figure. In some communities, it had beer, arranged to apportion part of the proceeds to local charity and the rest to the Warm Springs project. Others donated the entire amount 1 less expenses.

Vt.— (U.R) —A recent : survey at (he University of Vermont. here, disclosed that students spent SH,OOO for books. $5,640 for j materials and supplies, and only $7,564 for food.
