The cool evening breezes, as compared to the hot sun rays of the day are some relief and are appreciated as far as they go. It's forty below zero down where Admiral Byrd is but perhaps he would have been more of a hero if he could have remained here and taken the heat. Take your vacation and get pepped np for September and the autumn progress. We are really going to do things here this fall and winter and those who are up on their toes will be in the money. Only those whose business it is to keep the political pot boiling are giving it much attention these days. The old kettle will be well warmed up however for September and October. Take it easy but keep going. Os course no one is expected to overdo his job while Its a hundred in the shade but those who keep the ball rolling will find it easier to keep going when the break does come. The city forces are repainting the lamp posts and replacing the old bulbs where needed. Decatur is the best lighted city in the country and we have a right to boast about it and to keep them going a hundred per cent. Newspaper men like President Roosevelt because contacts with him are pleasant, the reporters never leave empty handed, he gets things .done, he is sincere and has courage and has an honest desire to help jthe forgotten man.’’ Ferd O'Brien, of the local gas office, reports that, they now have a hundred more customers in Decatur thkn they had in January, which is another proof that we are improving conditions. All signs i point that way and the future looks very good. Corn in this locality is showing the result of the terriffic heat of tlid past week. Tops are turning white and unless relief comes soon, ■the damage will be noticeable and severe. No one remembers such a severe heat wave as we are now passing through. The Chamber of Commerce at Mooresville should put on a campaign to have Dillinger's body hurried there. It would prove an attraction for years to come. We are queer and most folks would drive out of their way to see where John

Dillinger or Jesse James was bur rled and hear the wild tales of their law volola'iona. The subsistence home* in Decatur are expected to be ready for occupancy by December Ist. Con- , tracts will be let within the next ten days or so and the work must be completed within ninety days after the contracts are signed. Every detail is out of the road now and the work will move along with considerable speed. The Department of Justice of the United States never quits until they land their man. They knew with reasonable certainty in what territory Dillinger and his gang was hiding almost from the time they began the hunt. They will get “Baby Face" Nelson soon and continue until they have cleaned the gang out. The death of Dillinger will save some of the central states thousands of dollars and put the sob sisters and brothers out of commission. Tax making time is near and for the next few weeks officials will be busy with that important, if unpleasant job. County officers must prepare their estimates of expense and file them with the auditor before August 9th and these with the township budgets must be published by the 17th. The adjustment board meets just a month later, September 17th and has until October Ist to fix the rates. Appeals may be taken within ten days after final action is taken. John Dillinger’ wasn't so smart after all and far too simple to cope with the secret service department of the United States. His downfall. and every criminal has a weakness, was women and his desire to show them how much nerve he had. Boldly he accompanied two "molls'' to a movie theater Sunday night, walking into the trap and meeting death without a chance to draw his guns. No one is smart enough to lead a life of crime long. Those who try it should make up their minds they are gambling their liberty and life with the odds 100 per cent against them. Dillinger no doubt had some ability to have made good in honest lines if he had given the same devotion to it he did to defeating the law, but he choose otherwise and his wild career ended as it was sure to do, in nis death. o 4 —— 4 Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE Baby's Stockings When the feet of baby's stockings are worn out, cut about two or three inches oft the tops ot the stockings and sew them to the sleevse cl hie shirts.
