No mat- I ter how much one might like a dog, the most ardent lover of the i pets does not fancy being bitten by one. Most everyone has had some experience with dogs and it’s a I case where <■>. little cooperation and l thought for the other fellow can : bring about good results. —— • Adams County horses made an! excellent showing at the state fair. Competing with grand champions' from millionaire stables, the colts I and mares owned by Henry Dehner and H. I*. Schmitt, ranked with i the best. This county has an enviable reputation tor horse flesh and I the ribbons won by the local en-1 tries is proof that the best in the country has to be brought in to j take first place. Gunmen riddled the editor of a weekly paper in Minneapolis be-, cause of his campaign against ; crime and expose of the under-1 world. The case is similar to the i Mellet murder which occurred in Youngstown. Ohio, several years ago. Gangsters are being routed, j and their defense is only with the gun. It is deplorable to think of. j The ruthlesness of the criminal calls tor bravery on the part of, those who have the interest of 1 society at heart. William J. Zimmertyan, affec- 1 tionately known as "Uficle Billy,'; is dead. For three score and 10 years he lived in this community, held public office and was a !ov-| able character. Only when his health did not permit, he was a regular Saturday visitor to Decatur and around this office we will miss him, as on his visits to the county seat he always ‘ dropped | in” to say hello and take a copv of the home paper for his even-I ing's reading.

I reins, regardloss of the outcome. I He acts like he Is trying to outdo gangdom and it's • wonder people of the state stand for him. The I governor that permits such things ho go on Is a disgrace to American citizenship. Despite tile weather, attendance I records were smashed at the state fair. More than 35,000 visited the j big exposition Thursday and total i attendance up to yesterday exceed'ed 209,000. The live stock show, agricultural departments and other I units were features of one of the most successful and interesting | state fairs ever held In the middlewest. An encouraging note was the I interest taken by the younger folks, members of the 4-H and Economic clubs and the enthusiasm displayed by them in their activities. A well known farmer who does his trading in Decatur, brings in , his eggs and produce and considI ers this city his market, was heard I complimenting a local policeman for his courteousness. This farmer said the policeman helped him with getting his case of eggs out of the auto and watched his car, while it was double-parked, so no accident occurred while he was in the store. We know this is the way to do and policemen can be ambassadors of good will just by doing the ordinary kind things which the average person appreI ciates. The bids for the houses on tjie Subsistence Homestead site were ■ taken to Washington today where | final approval and letting of coni tracts will be made. From the proI posals received it is indicated that a New York concern w ill probably | be awarded the contract for constructing whatever number of I houses the government decides to i build. It is hoped that the amount of money available for this project i will be sufficient to cover the en- | tire 48 buildings and a plan work. ' cd out to give employment to local , labor. Decatur has good tradesmen I and all are* willing to work and ready to start on short notice. Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

Health Protection The opening of schools means the congregation of large armies of children into groups. This means that the chances of disease cor.ta-

gion are greatly inT creased, especially ’ for children entering g school for the first a time. J To.offset the dan- ; ger, there are the -■ following procedures which every parent

and teacher should support. (1) Abolish competitive attendance de- ; vices and rewards. (1) Let every parent promise himself to keep his. child at home upon the first appearance of any ailment, complaint, i sign or symptom. This measure ! alone would prevent much misery and illness. (3) Endorse im- ■ munization as a routine procedure. This includes vaccination against smallpox and toxoid injections to prevent diphtheria. Undoubtedly we shall soon accept similar measures against other communicable diseases. (4) The morning health inspection by the teacher during the first five minutes of the session. (5) Immediate exclusion from school of every child showing any departure from normal. (6) Support the health authorities in asking that all children be given a test to determine the possible presence of tuberculosis. (7) Have a qualified interested physician employed by the board of education. Sehool athletics will be the subject of Dr. Ireland’s next article.
