Fellows afraid of work will not Join the ‘‘back to the farm" movement. these days. And more than ten years ago Americans thought the President's Job was as trying as it could be. Fart Wayne is beginning to feel like Decatur did two years ago. They speak of the depression in the past tense. New car registrations in Indiana for the year ending July 1. were. 80,472 or 28,030 greater than a year ago. And they can’t buy cars without money. The Republicans have bpened their campaign and former Senator Watson is out making speech es telling his audience wtmt “I would do if I were president.” As long as he uses the "if” no one will object. Archduke Otto may be the future ruler of Austria, but it will be the hand of his mother that shapes the destinies of the little monarchy. As historians say, it's better for a country to have a man ruler, ruled by a woman, than a woman ruled by a man. The big street fa'r and agriculture exposition is only two weeks away. The committees are arranging sites for the cattle, horse and colt shows and other features of the week. Cloverleaf Creameries expects a crowd of more than 30,000 for Dairy Day and no one should be disappointed in finding plenty of entertainment, together with educational exhibits. Happy birthday to Governor McNutt. The chief executive is only 44 years of age, he celebrating his •two score aud four last Friday. He is in the prime of health, full of energy, enjoys record of achievement seldom equalled by men in double the span of life. Seasoned by public life, training and service, he will play an important part in future state and nations' affairs.

There are still some bargains to be found in Adams county real estate. We don't pretend to take the role of an investment banker, but we do feel that farm land values in this county will grow. Those who purchased farms in the last few years would not sell them for what they paid. There is only so much land in the county and at present prices it can be bought so that it will return a profit, based on current market-,.

Decatur should have a police auto. Under the present system the police use their own car in answering calls and you can't get! gas for nothing. It would be just' as foolish for a policeman to start'

“Darn shame they didn’t go up! Might have found out something about next year’s taxes, too.’_ ■ ■ • .• I tW ' vT wav W; y ■wi;. . ■ k JfMSBKri M r ' x i . - ,-S. . uu ».l— H. oi *■». n*» —“*■ -r » ■

walking to the other end of town in answering a call as it would be for the fire department to "rush" Ito a fire on foot. The city should 1 afford a light, speedy car as part of the equipment of an efficient police department. Other towns do. The Pennsylvania railroad cross|ing south of Decatur has been ef- ' fectiveiy marked. The road on 'both sides of the track has been - painted with black and white lines i and large "R. R.’s”, indicating that a crossing is ahead.. If a person has his eye on the road the warning cannot be missed. Signals at railroad crossing and preferential street earners are placed to guide a.nd help the public and the observance of them will eliminate the chance of accident. Heed the safety signals. The big warehouse building at • the Central Sugar company's yards is taking form and one is impressed with the magnitude of the structure, another unit in the building expansion program which has been underway at this place since Mr. McMillen became the directing head of the industry. Plans are being made to get everything in shape for the sugar making campaign, which it is expected will start in September. Officials anticipate one of the longest runs in history, in view of the prospects for a bumper beet crop. Great

news for a great community. A thriving and industrious business in this community is the Yost Brothers gravel pit, located northwest of Decatur. Acquired a few years ago, the brothers, Ott and Cal Yost, devoted their energy and genius In enlarging the facilities of the quarry and making it a productive concern. Today the pit is producing approximately 35,000 tons of sand and gravel a. year and its operation furnishes the public with a material required in nearly every building operation. Several men are employed In operating the place, in addition to the fleet of trucks used in delivering the product to all parts of the county.

Indiana is one rdate in the Union that does not issue tax bearing bonds. The Constitution prevents such financing and efforts to change It have failed in the several j sessions of the general assembly. [lndiana operates on a cash basis land at the end of the year it does

not owe huge sums for financing roads and state institutions. At the close of the fiscal year this month the state treasury had a balance of $10,158,907.63, which will be sufficient to operate the different departments and ir.stitir.ions of the state far the next six months. The McNutt administration is making an enviable record w-hen it conies to financing and good business management. o —■ MAGLEY~NEWS ' The Wortnmon fijmily enjoyed a family reunion Sunday in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Edward Worthman and family i f Kiel.
