Join the happy throQfg and keep it up all week. ” The fair is on and you are promised that each day will be tetter than the previous one. Check up on the committees. The latch strings are out in Decatur this week and every citizen, every official and even the boys and giris will greet you with smiles. Advertise your goods this week. Invite- the thousands of visitors to , come to your store and see what you have. Some of them will come and many will buy. After all if we don't tax the •rich, how will we get any money? It seems that every year since the dawn of time, the rich have be- ‘■' come richer and the poor poorer, i ” We desire to thank those who assisted us in the issuance of the - forty-four page fair edition last • Saturday. We are proud of the community which permits such a .newspaper. '* Next Saturday will be Decatur "day when the merchants will offer special prizes and special bargains. ■“The program will be interesting - and you “jlst 'aint so. a nothin’ •till you see this." . The 1 H boys and girls have the places of honor here this week and “they deserve it. We don't know “of any bunch of youngsters to •which we may look with more hope -for the future of this country. • The regular week-end list of ■ casualties. Seems as though it -never will stop so long as we drive -cars thgt have a speed of seventy •miles tin hour and the other fe.’Juw doesn't -believe he should lag - The man who started out to or---ganize a whispering campaign .against President Roosevelt has "been proven to be a first class "prevaricator and has admitted it. “You may expect most any kind of during the next year. Those who predicted we would have no summer are now pessimistically declaring we will ha.ve -the coldest winter in years. Os course if they fail in their guess they can cover tip by forgetting their old predictions and blinding jhe public by making new ones. - Perhaps the lack of enthusiasm ■at the’G. O. P. editorial meeting act Wawasee over the week-end was due to the fact that ex-Senator Watson, ex-Governor Goodrich and a few of the old boys refuse to perjnit the younger element to guide ,the old boat. They must boss or they woa’t play, it seems. Welcome visitors and welcome home fo'ks.. This is the much talked of and long dreamed about 4-H fair week. It is a program of busy days, designed to instruct as|

well as entertain you. We feel sure you will And It the cleanest and most wholesome fair you have ever attended. • Next week is the time designated to start the plans tor the Decatur centennial which comes next year. Next May 18th Decatur will be one hundred years old and it is . proposed to properly and fittingly observe the occasion. Join in the , groups that will have charge of I this great event. You will enjoy 1 it more If you help do it. , - A man who lived here years ago and who returned recently for a visit told us he had been in every town and city in northern Indiana and Ohio and all of Michigan in his work as a salesman, and that Decatur appealed to him as the most progressive and aggressive he had seen. He said the homes here seem to be better cared for and kept up tlian in any place he has seen and he was delighted with the prospects for the future. By the end of this year most of the banks which closed during the depression will have been liquidated. In many instances the records have teen wonderful and especia'ly during the past year, since many of those indebted to the institutions have been able to get money either by the sale of their products or by securing loans through some ’ other agency. It has been a tough half dozen years but thank goodness we are getting out of the worst hole this nation was ever in. The community which forgets the past and looks to the future will make progress < more rapidly than ever before. —o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.
