It seems that since the Hiram Wafter distillery fire they have pick’ed »fish in the rivers around Alton anil Peoria. The gambler or "con" man, thief or bootlegger is not wanted in Decatur during fair week. Cooperate with the officers in seeing that they do not ply their trade. A good way not to “be taken" by the smooth talking gamblers or faro men, is not to play the game ■with them. They'll skin you every time. Think of the other fellow a little. If you lived across from a vacant lot or held and had to look at a weed patch all summer you wouldn't like it. Maybe you are letting the weeds grow on your vacant lot? If Decatur had additional sewage facilities, a disposal plant, a south side swimming pool and recreationaf grounds and possibly a community building —in addition to what it already has — then you would point to the ideal town. The street fair directum have not knowingly so'd a concession space to any gambling outfit and they farther assure the community that nbne will be permitted to operate. They want the fair kept clean and that is in keeping with public sentiment. 'Wabash had a great time and received a lot of favorable publicity from its centennial celebration. The whole celebration was devoted t<r historical facts and pageantly and many worth while features ■were given. Decatur should plan for its 100th birthday next year by organizing this fall. Jt’s a blot on the country to have these men a.nd women killers and the sooner the courts dispose of them the better it will be for a’l. The Chicago woman killer and the P.eoria degenerate should be given the penalty. If they don't have the electric chair coming, there is no use in having capital punishment. The average person is not much excited about where the President is going. Much of this alarm stuff l&lbroadcast by Republican papers, who play politics every day of the year and would rather see Mr. Roosevelt defeated in his attempt to- legislate for the masses Than

win a victory tor the' American people. We don't know why ownerg of vacant lots permit the plaxes to grow up in weeds, it shows a poor spirit in ownership and creates a nuisance for the other person. Weeds should be cut now. The city health board has given the proper legal notice and lots not taken care of immediately will be mowed and' charged.4ip to the owners. I

Adahis county is in the c'ass “D" group for carrying on the new WPA work-relief program and the monthly scaJe of wages has been set at $44 for unskilled; SSO for Intermediate; $63 for skilled and $69 for professional and technical employes, Announcement has been made that the projects will be started August 5 and hundreds of men will be employed on public improvements. Let's get it going. Indianapolis was treated to a downtown holdup Sunday morning. The manager of a store went to his place of business to check some accounts and left the front door standing open. In walked two bandits who drew revolvers and told

the manager to fork over the dough. They got away with $490. The moral is don't worry about your business too much on Sunday and don't leave the front door open. Why wouldn’t it be a good thing to have the Chamber of Commerce or one of the service clubs erect markers pointing to the Homestead site and to a’l the industrial plants in the city. Each week-end there are many visitors and a guide .o these places would assist them in driving to the places they wish to see. The parks, municipal plant, churches and schools might also be included in the directory. Solution of a part of the troublesome "parking problem" is suggested by the installation of 200 “park-o-meters’’ in Oklahoma City, Okla. The machines, which look like Machine Age hitching-posts, stand on euros adjacent to parking spaces. The motorist inserts a nickel in a slot, turns a handle, and a green flag flies up. A clock in the park-o-meter keeps track of the time—ls minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour, as the case may be — and aX the end of the period, the flag drops. Thus, traffic officers, without reliance upon any guesswork, can keep tab on parked cars, and the city simultaneously collects some revenue at the rate of a nickel a shot. Reports from Oklahoma City are that shoppers are kept moving while sales have actually increased, since more persons are enabled, during the course of a day, to find space in which to 'eave their cars while making purchases. Just off-hand, whatever may be the drawbacks, it sounds like a good idea—particularly since the nickels are expected to pay the salaries of traffic officers, leaving more money for use in the detection and punishment of the more serious kinds of law-violation. — Fort Wayne News-Sentinel.

PACKERS FIGHT ; PROCESSTAXES' — fl Chicago Packing Industry , Joins Fight Against Payments Chicago. great packing Industry, which, sup H piles the middle west s millloH with meat, today jo.ned in a d > to attack the validity of the pro cessing taxes on pork levied unde the agricultural adjustment act Suit was begun late yesterday in the United States district court by 17 packing companies. The packers, including- the Swift an<L Armour concerns, seek to enjoin [ collection of $5,155,531 in taxes now i overdue the government. The suits, the packers said, were I precipitated by refusal of the n-; ternal revenue office to grant furth-. er extension ou the payments after August 1. With packers here joining the fight attacking the constitutional ity of the AAA and also the “brain trust" theories behind it, boosted the total throughout the country to nearly 500, Counsels for the packers late to-1 day will go before Federal Judge i John P. Barnes seeking sweeping temporary injunctions to enjoin the | government from taking any offi-! cial action to collect the tax before, the validity of the agricultural ad-| justment act can be finally decid- [ ed upon by the courts. Separate suits were filed byArmour and CT., Swift and Co., Oscar Mayer and Co., and P. Hrennam and Co. Thirteen smaller companies joined in three different suits. Processing taxes paid to the government since the legislation be-, came effective total approximately $866,000,000. Swift ami Company says it Ims paid $35,272,677 in processing taxes in auition to $983,470 on products in process of curq when the tax became effective. Other companies cited proportionate figures according to their volume of business. One of the major complaints made by the packers was that they are unable to pass the tax along to the consumer.
