Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Look at all the trouble Mr. Mellon has with his millions. It was farmer’s pay day in Decatur yesterday and everybody was happy. Chief Justice Hughes hasn’t warned the country that the Constitution is being scrapped. The tax adjustment board worked without interruption, got through with their job and adjourned. Good work. Tax matters are now settled unless remonstrances are filed, but otherwise we can take a rest, assured that next year's bill will be less. It w-as to the point when someone asked, ”how many cheeks did the farmer receive while Hoover was trying to solve the farm problem?” The tragic death of Harve Kessler brings sorrow to his friends. Mr. Kessler was a well known resident of the county and it’s regretable that life had to be snatched from him. All of the tax rates, payable next year are under those applying this year. In Decatur, the rate dropped from £3.15 to $2.71 on the hundred dollars, meaning that taxpayers here will be asked to pay approximately SIB,OOO less. Savings are made in the townships and the entire tax bill will be much less in 1934. Speeches being made by Senator Robinson clearly indicate howlittle this gentleman knows what’s going on. The other day he said farmers had to accept lower prices for their grain and livestock because of the present tariff policy. He should have been in Decatur and witnessed the distribution of checks to the cornJiog signers. Democratic administrations have been in charge of the city government for the past 20 years and in that time great progress has been made. Each administration has

carried on progressive programs, had an eye to the future and as citizens we are proud of the record. Let's keep on building Decatur and make it a better community. Henry Ford expresses his confidence in America, in a magazine which quotes him as follows: "Laws do not save a country. Life changes too fast for that. By the time a law gets on the books, the situation it was designed to meet has altered. Laws cannot ruin this country. We are too strong and resourceful a people to be hampered much by legislation. Nothing can hurt the United States.” The fall looks promising. Retail business is holding up, the factories are busy, except in those lines depending on new auto models and when the sugar factory opens, impetus will be given to em. ployment and manufacturing conditions. Things look bright for this city. We have our place in tffe sun, the outside recognizes it as one of the best communities in the country and we should all lend an effort in going forward. Chief Melchi makes another plea to motorists not to double park on Second street. The Chief related an experience of Tuesday after, noon. He was at one end of the street, aiding in loosening a traffic conjection and at the other end of the block cars were stalled because of another tie-up. Chief Melchi asks your cooperation and declares that ft is impossible to keep traffic running smoothly unless all try to help. Please do it. Local radio fans have been thrilled and entertained by broadcasts relayed from distant Little America, where members of the Byrd antarctic expedition are housed. Turn about is fair play. Indianap. olis will have the pleasure and privilege of entertaining these intrepid . explorers next Sunday night. A varied program of musical numbers and brief messages of greeting will take the air over WKBF, be disseminated over the red network of the National Broad casting Company and then transmitted over miles of ocean through the short-wave station of the Gen eral Electric Company in Schenec tady, N.

HUMAN GARDENING Living is a great deal like tending a garden. We have to relentlessly light the weeds in our gardens to keep them from growing. But? how different the flowers! Unless we water them and tend them carefully they ► will wither and die. It is the same with human char-1 i acter. Fear, worry, doubt, pessL ■ mistn. and all the other negatives ■ are constantly trying to take root in our minds. We must fight these i negatives as we fight the weeds in ; 1 our gardens. And we must culti- ■ | vate, and keep alive in our lives . | their opposites, faith, courage, love, 1 kindness, optimism—the flowers of the soil.—The Friendly Adventures. 0 ♦ k Answers To Test k Questions ’ Below are the answer* to the Tezt Question* printed on Page Two. ’ * ■■—* 1.
