A tang of fall in the air, which Is one way of realizing that sum- . mer spent itself during the torrid ; heat waves. Capone and the other criminals j will at least have a more pleasant place to spend next summer, assuming that the temperature in Atlanta last month was hotter ; than that around these parts. The Minneapolis strike has been : settled. There was much wasted effort from the time it started un- . til the end, but it seems that in the larger cities they have it to go through. i Kendallville is figuring on appropriating $15,000 from the town's cash balance to build a sewage disposal plant. During these days of tax cuts how in the world did they ever hold unto so much money? “'Keep the boys and girls in school" is the title of an advertisement inserted by the Decatur school board. It is sound, timely advice. A person might add, ‘‘give your children the advantage of an education and then you have done yous part.” Banks are sending their acceptance to the federal government of their desire to cooperate in the National housing campaign. Communities are organizing for the work and soon tradesmen will be gainfully employed on hundreds of jobs. Let’s get it started here. President Roosevelt is devoting much of his time to perfecting a new organization for the NRA. Probably some parts of the recovery act will be dropped, others amended and changes suggested.

To Top The PICNIC LUNCH What's a picnic without a few bottles of good old Centlivre Beer! The first swallow of this matchless ES brew tells you REAL 1 : M BEER IS BACK. Brewed SLOWLY from pure bar* ley malt, it has the oldnHgM fashioned mellow flavor and a palatable taste that no h hurry-up methods can ever U produce. Keep a case of K Centlivre handy. . Fred Mutschler Dist. Co.

The president knows the sentiment of the country and lias at heart its best interest and will be | guided accordingly. We don't know much about farmI ing or how the increased market ' prices will affect those who have corn and hogs. However it isn't hard to figure that with today’s prices about double that of a year ago, a person with only half as much to sell will realize nearly the same amount of money as he : did for twice the production. Shelbyville seems to be one of i the towns where the approach of fall revived things and a city-wide "back to school” sale and community affair was staged this week. From the exchange table we pick up a copy of the home paper and It is filled with forceful I messages to the trade in and! around Shelby county, a demonstration which denotes life and a progressive community. A local citizen expressed his interest in the government's program to further and aid a general repair and remodeling campaign. He stated he was willing to furnish competent, courteous persons to assist in making the city-wide campaign, necessary to carry out a systematic and effective underI taking here. What we should have is an organization willing to get , it underway. — I Writing of Sherman Minton, the Democratic nominee for United i States senator, someone penned the following: “A rugged. Independent, , self-made man whose individual- 1 ism, high character and lofty mo-| tives are natural products of thei struggle and self sacrifice's he has made to equip himself fbr statesmanship . . . Sherman Minton is an individual, who given the opportunity by voters of Indiana, will make a name in- the glorious history of the United States of America.” The Associated Retailers of Indiana will endeavor to have the; legislature amend the state tax I law. The association is opposed I to the provision, which in case of emergency, permits an increase of ■ rates over the dollar and the dol-1 lar and half limits in rural and urban sections. The necessary levy for bond and interest payments is exempt from the limits fixed by the law and the association does not declare against these additional levies. A few tax-I ing units in the state enjoyed a tax rate within the limits fixed by law.' General overhead, maintenance and operation of public institutions aud running of government, does not in many cases permit a levy as low as a dollar or a dollar aud half, based ou the present low valuations. If someone shows the way how to get along with less govern- ; inent, not pay for such things as. schools, road repair, caring for the - poor, and other duties of govern-! ment, it might be easier to do.

PAUL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the gang's gunner kicked out his life in the dirt of an alley through which be attempted to escape. Police Chief Frank Cullen, who directed the ambush and blasted the gangster down with a shotgun, refused to disclose the source of information by which Van Meter was located. It was credibly reported that be. like Dillinger, was betrayed by his weakness tor a woman. Relatives of the girl with whom he lived here, a United Press informant said, took to police the tip that caused his death. Van Meter was given a chance to surrender but chose fight and flight instead. Chief Cullen and former Police Chief Thomas Brown organized the trap. Each carried a sawed off shotgun. Detectives Thomas McMahon aud Jack Dietrich carried i machine guns. The four waited their quarry ih the show window of an automobile | sales room on University avenue, | just a block from the state capi- j tot. Apparently they were inform- | ed when Van Meter would pass the spot and in which direction he would be going. Shortly after 6 o'clock the gangster appeared, striding in a long.

loose jointed gatt along the thoroughfare which leads to Minneapolis. Cullen and his meu stepped to the sidewalk. Ths chief. finger already on the trigger of his gun. shouted a couunaud to hall. Instead Van Meter jumped sideways, Jerked an automatic pistol from a pocket and ran. firing two shots as he wheeled. Four guns trained on his b«k would have cut him down almost in his tracks but a woman pedestrian. unaware of her danger, walked directly Into the line of fire. The sprinting fugitive rencht«d the entrance to an alley before the police were able to shoot. Five almost simultaneous volleys knocked him down. He died almost immediately. At the morgue a surgeon found 26 shotgun 'pellets and one machine gun slug in the outlaws
