The Saturday Evening Post Is a great magazine, but it will have a difficult task in attempting to trot out “favorite sons” for the 1936 presidential race. It is opposed to President Roosevelt and former President Hoover as the standard bearers of their parties. Has the editor ever heard of Huey Long and Artie Robinson? ■ Cut the weeds and do it quick. •Today Is the last day given by law for property owners to do it themselves. Beginning tomorrow, those places where weeds have been left to grow rampant and go to seed, workers will begin the job of cutting them and the costs will be added bo the property owner.. It’s better to look after these matters yourself. Another mode’ home is to be built in Decalur, a step of progress which every community likes to gee made. Its construction fulfills a life-long dream on the part of the owner and increases the value of property. With other saw residences going up and extensive remodeling of others, more building 1 is being done here this year than the combined total for a halt dos- < en years.

Kentucky is having a hot contest for the Democratic nomination for governor. The primary is Aug. 3. Elam Huddleston, Thomas S. Rhea and A. B. Chandler are the three leading candidates. In his speeches Huddleston, a Louisville man, says that, if elected, he will endorse his salary cheek each month during his four years to the state relief organization, serving as chief executive without pay. It will be interesting to see whether voters accept his generosity.—Hoosier Sentinel. .

Weathering the depression the assets of all legal reserve companies increased from 18 billions to 23 billions of dollars, compared to 1929. Although the amount of premiums paid was less at the beginning of 1935, the number of policy hdlderg Increased one million or 65 million insured. The amount of life insurance in force at the beginning of the year was *105.639,000,000, compared with the 1929 peak of *109,000,000.000. People are saving. The General Electric engineers may solve the garbage collection problem. A labor-saving kitchen device has been invented, which will grind the garbage, even down to chicken bones -in such pieces that it can be flushed down the sewer. That may bring about another problem in the mitter of river pollution and revamp the present method of sewage disposal, but in these days of wonders in the electrical field, it will not be surprising to see the modern home have its own garbage disposal unit. The idea will appeal to housewives and no noubt will someday be just as important to the modern kitchen as refrigeration. A drive past the manufacturing plants in this city will make you feel proud of what Decatur has in the nature of progressive industries. The General Electric Works, a model plant of this nationally known firm; the Central Sugar and

Central Soya Bean plants, with new bul’dings going up; the Cloverleaf Creameries, largest butter making plant in the state and a recently remodeled factory: the Mufschter'l’acking company, which in addition to its trade operations offers a ready market for cattle and hogs; the Decatur Casting company; the Schafer Saddlery company, enlarged and running; the LaFontaine Handle company, furnishing steady employment to workers and a number of smaller industries dotted here and there throughout the city. Decatur is fortunate in having such diversified industry and the thing to do is to help everyone of them expand and thus receive the benefits of increased employment. o

The Swedish bedroom pictured above gives a graphic illustration of economical utilization of space. The two built-in beds occupy a minimum of floor space and produce an interesting and decorative treatment of the corner of the room. The shelves, bookcases, and built-in lighting over each pillow ate both utilitarian and attractive. Wide variation is possible in the treatment of bed pests and trimming for such bod corners. A colorful linoleum floor and a tastefully arranged desk, dresser, chair, and table create a eharnting effect.

Isn’t it true tlv.it In the social world a person must use pretense at times? A. Pretense is never necessary, and never used by one who is wellbred. It is seldom successful in impressing others. The only person employing it is the one who thinks by its means he may gain social recognition. Q. When a party of men and girls are eating and there is dancing between courses, should all the men rise when a girl of their >party returns to the table from dancing? A. Yes, but it is not necessary for them to rise when a girl leivea the table to dance. Q. Should engraved invitations be sent when giving a garden party? A. Not unless the iparty is highly

Hernia. •“* the *” J , > to their seven year old son Kurt, Jr., in a motor crash near Lin Saturday. . The cabinet has confirmed him 1n hls post, but most Os those who have seen him since the traced, believe that he will resign soon. It is doubted that he can recover sufficiently soon to use the strong hand necessary for the recurrent crises of Austrian political lite. Prince Ernst Rudiger Von Starhemberg. vice chancellor, is in fact dictator of the country an leader of the fascist heimwehr. He is mentioned most prominently for chancellor if Schuschnigg steps out. There have been Indications, however, that he i« well satisfied with his status at present. In event that he did not want the chancellorship. Josef Peither, Democratic - monarchist peasant leader, was regarded as the likeliest nominee. Mentioned also, as a possible temporary chancellor pending clarification of the political situation, is Richard Schmitz, clerical mayor of Vienna. Popular belief that the motor crash in which Mrs. Schuschnigg was killed was due to sabotage increased today as the theory was discarded that the chauffeur, seriously injured, was taken ill and lost control of the car. The official version ascribes the crash partly to the condition of the road—a dangerous stretch in which there is a sharp turn — and partly to the 5o miles an hour speed at which the car turned the corner. It was said that e. front wheel began to wobble before the crash, and that it was supposed a stone from the road jammed the brakes, and the steering gear , failed, simultaneously. There was . a theory that the protective ar-i
