The tall buzz has started. The weather even made a person feel like he wanted to work and activity in all lines is general. Everybody was up early yesterdav, the opening of school depriv11 ing the old man of his fifteen minI I ute snooze, which he so much en- i joyed during the vacation season, j New York City is preparing to | 1 start more than a million children back to school this week. How Would you like the job of outfitting ind furnishing text books to them? Most Republicans hope that 1 former President Hoover is not | 1 making a bid tor the party's presi-. dential nomination, based on his ' recent magazine article. The air races are no doubt exciting to watch, but it is a shame that such brave and worthy men as Douglas Davis must fall to their death in the program to provide thrills for onlookers. Decatur schools opened yesterday with enrollments totaling 1,315, slightly under the figure for the opening day last year. More than 360 students at e enrolled in the ' two high schools, while the grades j account for about one thousandl pupils. Indications are that the attendance will pick up from day to day and that the total will be about the same as a year ago. Former President Hoover would not find much good in the New j Deal or in the policies furthered by President Roosevelt. His article, appearing in a weekly maga_ - zine, is an expression to his pent . up feelings and sounds like he would like to tell the country what to do. He had the chance and failed. One of the blackest periods! in the economic life of the country occurred during Hoover's administration and for him to tell the people that now we are headed for ' ( disaster is picayune stuff. ( I Farmers of the United States j should be cheered by the agricui- j tural outlook for 1934-35. Agricui-! ture surpluses are shrinking, credit. is better and farm income is going up. When President Roosevelt initiated the AAA, he set as a goal the “pre-war parity prices." Prewar parity simply means the real I level of 1910-14 as measured in ■ terms of purchasing power. Farm prices today are within five per | cent of the “pre-war parity." As a j result of the encouraging rise in commodity prices the farm income totaled J 5.083.000.000 for 1933-34, as compared with $3,881,000,000 for 1932-33. This substantial gain can be credited to the Roosevelt farm 1 program. Rental and benefit payments made to farmers between August, 1933, and June. 1934, total-j ed $311,000,000. Hoosier farmers! who signed the corn hog reduction I contracts have received $2,742,028 this year. And the New Deal may mean actual cash payments to Indiana farmers of $28,589,000 during the next crop year. This money,

will come to the farmers who sign the wheat, corn.hog and tobacco crop control agreements. THE NATIONAL DEFICIT— It was to be expected that August would show another deficit for the Federal Treasury. Not until 193536 at the earliest does the administration foresee hope of a balauc. ed budget. But the size of the current deficit Is of Interest in the light of estimates submitted to Congress. It amounts, for the first two mouths of the present fiscal year, to about $450,000,000. At that rate the deficit for the full year would be in the neighborhood of ; $2,700,000,000. This is $700,000,000 more than the President forecast in bis budget message of last January. but $2,300,000,000 less than the $5,000,000,000 suggested by Secretary Morgenthau as a possibility, when he pointed out that Congress has authorized the expenditure during the current year of large sums not spent before June 30 because “some of our plans moved into "action more slowly than had been “anticipated." Whether all of these funds will actually be spent, the secretary did not know and does not venture to predict. The record for July and August suggests that they will not; but it is early in the tibcal year, and there are already reports that additional funds for relief purposes will be asked of Congress. If comparison is made between the present record and that for the same period last year, several points stand out as of special interest. One, distinctly favorable, is a sharp increase of revenues, amounting to no less than 40 per cent. This is in part the conse- ! quence of new processing taxes ' under the AAA. but receipts from ' income and internal revenue taxation also show substantial gains. A second favorable development is a change in the status of the RFC; one of the largest spending agencies of the government a year ago. it now appears on the credit side of thtJ lJ4g<-r with a balance of | more than $100,000,000. due to the fact that repayments made to it since July 1 have exceeded new loans and investments by this i amount. Less favorable, from the point . of view of a balanced budget, are j much larger expenditures than aj ■ year ago for public works and for direct relief of unemployment. In July and August PWA and FERA 1 spent between them* a total of more than $470,000,000 to make jobs or to make up for the lack of , them. These agencies are now the I deficit-makers. If it were not for I their activities the Federal budget ; for the first two months of the cur- i rent year would show a surplus of I a bout $20,000,000. — New York I Times. o Specializes in Curious Eggs Lubec.

Anderson, Jr., three, has a letter | that is probably one of the few 'that ever went 60,000 feet above the earth before it was delivered. His unde, Capt. Orvil Anderson, a member of the crew of the "Explorer.’’ carried the letter during the flight and mailed it to the lad with a piece of the balloon fabric. o Beede Largest Insect T Tn wing expanse alone the moth 1 Erebus agrtppina, with a spread of i 11 snchea. Is the largest Insect tnnwn today. If size is to be gauged by bulk, combined with body length, the beetle Mserodt'atla cervlcornia which ranges up to 6 Inches tn length. Is perhaps the larges* known.

Zoercher said that trustees will not be accustomed to appraisal work, and should be given at lease two years experience before 1 the next state-wide re valuation. The tax board chairman also pointed out that 1936 will be a presidential year, and that “such years are unsatisfactory ones in which to make real estate valuations." In announcing the delay would be asked. Zoercher denied a report which said that the tax board would take steps to order a reassessment and increase valuation; next year.
