Thanks to everybody, is the way the fair committee expressed itself. If Adams county farmers keep on raising this 13-foot corn, lowa will have to take a back seat. Now we have to get used to watchfrig for cars when crossing dhe down town street corners. Here's hoping the church soetties and sororities made a barrel of money during the fair. They deserve It. The vacation is over. Let's buckle down to business and make the fall season one of the busiest and best in local history. President Roosevelt acted with .wisdom in cancelling the Boy .Scout Jamboree ito Washington. "For one boy to fall victim of 4a'fantile paralysis would mar the "happiness of the whole expedition. ' City employes did a good job in cleaning the streets and getting (things back to normal early Sunday morning. The street department hauled away truck load after ( truck load of paper and debris and t Second street was given a good flushing with the fire hose. Everything will be in shape in a fewdays and all signs of having had a tented army in our midst will be erased. The death of Congressman Truax ' -of Ohio will occasion a special .election in that state to fill the i vacancy. The result of the recent in Rhode Island has .been ‘pointed to as a political index, but •our guess is that the Ohio contest will be a better barometer. Truax •was known as a blunt spoken Democrat and was opposed to sev- ■ eral measures passed by the house. The outcome of the election will .be watched with interst. If the district PWA office gives the word, work will be resumed . this week on the installation of the ornamental street lighting on Second street, the extending of the water mains in the south part of town and on some of ithe other projects already approved. Every effort will be made to obtain approval to resume the work here, furnishing employment to several score of men and completing worth-while public improvements. The legs of the duck are short, the legs of the stork are long. We cannot make the duck's legs long, or the stork's legs short, so why -worry? A tremendous amount of time and energy is wasted in worrying about things that cannot -be changed. It does absolutely no good. The sensible thing it to accept the things that cant be] helped, and go on. Turn your back

on past mistakes — face the sun, and the shadows will fall behind you.—The Friendly Adventure. Many people have expressed themselves about celebrating Decatur’s Centennial next year. There is much Interest in the forthcoming birthday and the general -Idea is, that a three or four-day observance. largely devoted to historical events and a pageant depicting the early history of the county and city should be given. The Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies will no doubt take up the matter in a short time and make plans for 1936. It’s a good thing to remember that the publishers of such papers as the Chicago Tribune and Daily News, the Indianapolis News and other lesser ones, are all millionaires. Naturally they have Wall Street leanings and are largely satisfied with their easy position in life. These papers are opposed to President Roosevelt and have always fought the Democratic party. It's a wonder they accept all the increased business which has come their way from national advertisers and department stores since Mr. Roosevelt became the chief executive. It would be interesting to compare the advertising lineage in 1932 with 1935. The sewer and sewage disposal question will be taken up this week by city officials with consulting engineers. The engineers will be asked to look over the grounds and acquaint themselves with local conditions. It is a known fact that Decatur needs more sewers or at least several 'auger outlets to the river. The treating sewage before it is emptied into the river is fast becoming a community necessity and these matters will be discussed along the line of obtaining federal grants for part of the cost. It is the desire of the city officials to have the public voice its matter and in all probability a meeting of this nature will be called in the near future.

COMPANY PLANS for rebuilding Genera! Motors Plans Plant Modernization Program New York. Aug. 12. -<ll.R>—General Motors Corporation announced today in conjunction with a financial report indicating world wide progress toward economic recovery that it has begun a $50,000.000 program of plan! modernization In the United States. England. and Germany. President Alfred P. Sloan said the prograjn was ihe result of a “more assured outlook for profitable development.” Most of 'the expenditure will be for machinery in plants in Michigan, Ohio, Ind. ana. Illinois, and Tennessee. Sloan predicted, in a statement accompanying the financial report for the first six months of 1935, that consumption of motor cars and trucks in the United States this year would be 70 per cent of consumption in 1929, the industry s record year. He commented, in comparing that figure with an even higher ratio of consumption in the world as a whole, that the United States apparently has not progressed as far toward recovery as other countries. “In practically all countries throughout the world, the underlying economic forces, striving for recovery, art. at the moment. In the ascendency over the adverse influences incident to political ac tion,” he said. “According to the current trend.

I there is indicated a consumption, of motor cars and trucks for the | vear 1935. throughout the wor'd at, iarge. excluding the United States,! ; equal to that of any previous year lin the history of the industry. As to the domestic market, the expectancy of the year might be stated as 70 yer cent of 1929 — the previous high record. ■ Thus we see that recovery has asserted itself to an important degree even greater outside than within the United States, if we are to adopt the previous peak of automotive consumption as our yardstick.” 1646 Church to Incorporate Orleans, Mass. — (U.R) — The Orleans Congregational Church be-
