Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. We are getting back to normalcy. Chicago is paying her teachers and they are taking the boys lor rides again. Senator Robinson can use words and words and more words and say the least of anybody on the American political platform. Even Indianapolis is figuring on cutting the civil city’s and the school city's tax levy for next year, which is a sign that conditions are getting better. Savings accounts iu Indiana banks have gained $38,800,800 the past year, showing confidence and some degree of prosperity, which measured by any rule reflects a decided improvement. Fort Wayne has a safe lead in claiming the title to Indiana's second largest city. Estimate made by the census bureau gives the population at 120,000, compared to South Bend's 109,500 and Gary's 108,000. The strikes continue to break out. thousands of men are thrown out of work and no one seems to know what it's all about. Much of the trouble starts from agitators and fellows who make their living by stirring up trouble and it would be a blessing if they could be, handled some way. The world looks upon Mrs. Roosevelt, mother of the President, as a lovable, gracious and intelligent woman. Regardless of the fact that her illustrous son Franklin isPresident of the United States, the mother instinct runs true in her heart. Returning from Europe the other day she brought Franklin a new tweed suit. Imagine her joy when she sees her son wearing it. Not many county fairs are a financial success any more, the automobile making the state fair within as easy reach as the county seat was back in the horse and buggy days. This year Indiana will furnish one of the greatest exhibits ever known and for those who like events of this kind, the week of September Ist, will hold much interest for them at fairgrounds in Indianapolis. , The kidnaping of brewer Labatt of Canada, was more than likely done by gangsters driven from this side of the river by the purge given gangdom by the federal government. Labatt was released yesterday and a veil of secrecy seems to hang over the whole affair. If the federal drive against gangsters continues it will eventually rout the bandit and kidnaper and restore respect for our laws. It has been suggested that when the FEIIA funds are available, it would be fine to complete the job cleaning the ditches in various parts of the county. This war. start-

ed last year but In some Instances, only the banks were cleared. It will be appreciated if during the next six months, the ditch and creek beds can bo cleaned. And we are informed by those in charge that this will be possible under the 1 uew program. Any one who wants a machine gun after next month will have to get permission from the United States Commissioner of Revenue and pay a S2OO license. What any honest man wants with one of the ■ "durn" things unless he is an offi- I dal, for it is logical to conclude j that they are usually wanted for! illegal purposes. They were not in- j vented as toys or to shoot squirrels and are not so used. A traffic hazard which caused congestion at a principal street corner in the city was noticed the other day when a celery vendor ■ parked his truck on the west sld«- J of South Second street, at the Five , Point) intersection. As motorfetw | stopped for the signal light, one of the celery salesmen tried to sell I his product to those in the car. in making the transaction, time was 1 required and traffic was at a standstill, the light changing back to j red before the purchaser in the front car completed the deal. Decatur can get along without the peddler and celery vendor and practices such as the above, should not be permitted evqn by local people, much less outsiders. The News-Sentinel is so anxious to find fault with the administration that they apparently lose track I of facts. In a recent editorial in which they refer to Woodrow Wil-1. son as a liberal who encouraged, increased productions of foodstuffs I and free pronesses of supply and demand they add: "A year later, < Franklin D. Roosevelt was that same Woodrow Wilson's running mate on the Democratic ticket, and ’■ I proclaiming that Wilson was just; ■ about the wisest man on the face . of the earth. You figure it out." j We can't. We had an idea that Thomas R. Marshall, beloved neighbor and Hoosier, was the running mate of Mr. Wilson in both his campaigns. The only way we can . figure it is. that the newspaper is ;?( hard-up for an argument. Ants Destroyed Records Greenfield, Mo.-fU.R) —White ants have almost completely destroyed the Dade county record books. One book was eaten completely away by the insects, which had chewed their way tlisough a thick wooden floor.

I tai That you own the property. (Lessees under “repairing leases- I may qualify under special <-ircum»tanoes which the local ie nfl . ing institutions can explain.) lb. That the annual income of the signers of the note is at least five times the annual payments on the note. (c) Tliat ymti mortgage, if any.

Signature of the property own r: and (except in special cases > if the owner is an individual and is married, also signature of wife or husband.

For example: If you need $285 for housing Improvements, you might sign a note for S3OO payable In 12 equal monthly Installments, in this ease tlie note would not bear interest, because the maximum charge permitted (sls) would be included iu the face of the note.

There will be no restrictions on your rights as an owner to use such materials and employ such methods of construction as you may desire—provided they meet the approval of the lending agency. 15. May I borrow to buy housing equipment? Yes, if the equipment is an integral part of the improved building. Furniture, refrigerators, stoves, etc... are movable (unless built in) and are not permitted under terms of your loan. 16. Where do I make payments? The regular installment payments will be made in person at the place of business of the financial ins ittttion; or by mail; or as otherwise arranged.

A reasonable rebate will be allowed for prepayment, if charge: have been collected in advance. 18. May I pay more than one installment at a time? Yes, as many as you wish, but such payments should be in exact multiples of the agreed payments—that is. if monthly payment is $lO, advance payments should total S2O, S3O, etc.—not, for example, odd sums such a $lB or $25. 19. What if I am late in making my payments? The maker must not permit his payments to fall in arrears. Should a payment be more than 15 days late, the financial institution's expense, caused thereby may be reimbursed in part at the rate of not more than five cents i>“t dollar for each payment in arrears Persistent delinquency will mak» it necessary for the financial institution to take proper steps to effect collection. in full.
