Os course its hot but the average pefson is perhaps more conii'urtable than when its ten below zero and think of the effort and expense you save in the heating business. Coal dealers however are reminding us that this is the best time to put in a stock for winter. Will Rogers is a smart guy. He can always say the right thing at almost the right time. Just now he is “kidding" us from the north pole region, where he has to wear a couple of sweaters and overcoats and where he has to dodge to keep from bumping his head on the artic circle. The French Lick meeting of Democratic editors and leaders was the largest and most harmonious ever held in the stale by any party. More than fifteen hundred people attended the banquet, there was genuine enthusiasm and the forces are well organized to go forward in the 1936 vote battle. It’s not a bit too early to start plans for the ce'ebration of Decatur’s centennial. We will be a hundred years old next May 18th. That’s something to observe and every one will get a big thrill out of helping if some plan will be agreed upon and various duties assigned to various groups. Governor McNutt is leading the Democratic party in Indiana as has been the custom in that party since the days of Tom Hendricks. With a great record, one that is equalled no where in the United States, with rare ability, the desire to be fair, it is proper that the governor should follow Hendricks, Mathews, Marshall and Ralston as the leader. Why a’l the fuss about the proposed fax laws to raise the money with which to operate the government and pay her debts. Under the highest plan proposed, it would cost the married man with an income of $3,000 only forty dollars. Most of us will be glad to pay that amount if by so doing it is made possible to have an income of that size. Under the same law up to $2,000 -you will pay nothing. I*l —

So tar as wc have been able to check, the fair was a wondertul success and wc again congratulate all who assisted in putting it over. The people enjoyed It and learned much and the 4-H clubs, the county t agent, the Cloverleaf Dairy officials and every one else have a t right to feel that they have done a worth while job In a very worth- • while manner. J With a united Democracy in Ad--5 ams County and in every county , in the state, with the leaders workI ing together, there will be no doubt ’ as to the outcome in the next I election. Those who would divide the party for selfish or personal reasons, should not be permitted to do so. Those desirous of helping in the great battle against the depression and for happier conditions for every one, should be supported 100 per cent. We are trying to improve our persona! column in the Daily Democrat. We know and you know that this can be made the most interesting feature of the paper. You can help us by call* 1 ing 1000 and telling us items of interest. If our readers, both rural and city, will do ihis we will be glad to print as many columns as you will furnish and we know you will all be pleased to read them. Please help us make this the best “around the town" page in any paper in Indiana. Keep Decatur going forward. No town any where has come up smiling better. Every where you go you will hear people talking favorably. Strangers who had concessions here during the fair were so pleased that they tried to contract for next year. On every hand is evidence of a bigger, better and happier Decatur. You can help b> continuing optimistic, by boosting instead of knocking, by cooperating. by helping those in business, by trading at home and in many other wfoys and you owe that to the old home town. State expenditures for last year were twelve million dollars less than during the last year of Republican administration. Indiana has a balance on hand of more than ten million dollars, the budget is i balanced, we have no bonded indebtedness. the schools have been , kept open and the teachers paid i and we are admittedly in the best condition in every way of any state in the Union. Does that mean any thing to you? Little wonder that Governor McNutt, ( whom the partisan and opposition press tried to discredit, has become an outstanding figure both at home and in many other states. o f Modern Etiquette by ROBERTA LEE ♦ — ♦ Q.

| i MORE THAN FIVE MILLION LOANED > Federal Housing Program In Indiana Has Made Many Loans Indianapolis, Aug. 13.— (U.R) — A , total of $5,423,269 in short and long-term loans have been made to homeowners and builders in Indiana since the federal housing program was instituted in the state, FHA officials announced to- i day. Ninety-seven cities and towns have participated in the program , under title one provision of the! FHA, which permits loans up to! $2,000 without mortgage for Un-1 provements, funding and modernization costs. ’ In addition, home-owners and builders in 71 counties have participated under title two of the act, which permits loans up to $16,000 o n a 16-year basis. Mortgages a.re established under the latter system in return for which loans are made for new home building, purchases and refinancing present mortgages. Under the terms of the act. certain banks and other leading institutions are approved as lenders. The prospective borrower makes application at the bank and if granted, the amount of the loan is insured under the federal housing administration. A total of $1,848,432 has been borrowed under title I loans. The amount represents 5,556 loans. Under title 11 loans, $2,574,837 has been distributed in 551 app'ications. Os fife figure, $844,125 was for construction of new homes and $1,730,712 for repairs and purchases of existing structures. In describing the functions of the FHA. R. Eaxl Peters, state director, said the "act eliminated the hazards of home ownership for both borrower and the lender.” “A mortgage under the National Housing Act never comes due. The borrower repays his loan in monthly payments, amortized over the life of the mortgage.” o Finger Prints To Be Taken At Fair Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 13—(UP) —Finger prints of thousands of visitors to the Indiana state fair .August 31-September 6 will be recorded «l the anti-crime booth sponsored by the Indiana University institute of •criminal law and criminology and the state police department.
