New automobiles manufactured , last week in this country totaled ( over 50.000, which is just about , the number you meet nowadays in , a hundred mile run. What becomes ] of alt -the old ones is a problem never-clarified. i . The state suggests that Decatur ( must have a sewage disposal plant . and there will prouauiy never be i a time when it can be done at as 1 low cost to the local citizens. It ; will be a wonderful improvement ( and as plajined will not be excess- , ively costly-. i - I Keep the tramps on the move. , They don't do us any good and ( while many of them deserve aid, . there are enough of them on the ( -beat to more than off-set the <»:h- . ers. The fewer of these transients we help, the less hold ups there will be. Don't make it easy < for the tough element. The factories are adding men. - business is picking up, those who go after trade by advertising in their home newspaper, will get it. , Try it out this week and each week .the next tew months and see if it doesn't bring you good returns. "The next year promises to be one -of the best in a long time and those I I i who try. will make back much of » their losses of the past few years. “ A sad home coming is that of 1 Will Rogers aatd Wiley Post and 1 there wi'l be feeling of deep de- ' pression throughout '.lie nation this 1 week, while these two great men ' -are being honored as their bodies ’ are laid to rest. Bill’s words, "I “never met a man I didn't like," " will go down in history as did " those of the one who said, "write ’ me as one who loves his fellow man." The millions of Bill Roger fans "hope that the two new pictures which he had recently completed, -will he released. Though it has ■ been the practise not to release • pictures after the star has died, there is a demand for these that .will surely be listened to. Whole*some pictures like those which have added to the popularity of this famous actor are not so num- , erous that the public feels they can 'miss any of them. It's time to make up the budgets and get ready to fix tax rates, always a tough job and always one that means a lot of worry and • work for those upon whom these duties fall. In some cases no doubt ' slight increases will be necessary and in others the boost may be considerable. Os course, not a dime should be added that can be avoided and every effort should be made to save the taxpayer. However there are some expenses that must be met if we are to go on, and of course every one in Adams county wants to do that. There is sorrow here because of the death of James Fred France, former Deca'ur residnt. who was for many yars active in politics,

In the Knights of Pythias lodge and in various civic organizations. He came from an old family in this community, his father being the late Charles M. France, one of the early lawyers here. As a young man, J. Fred, studied law, was associated with the late Richard K. Erwin here and later located in Huntington, where he served as mayor and from where he was a'ected clerk of the supreme court of Indiana, serving with much credit for eight years. Os pleasing personality, with much natural ability and with perserverance and energy, he succeeded in every endeavor. Though his health had not been good for some years, his final illness was short and the news of his death a shock to his hundreds of old friends here and elsewhere. MOTORING SAFETY: Governor McNutt, exercised by the fact that more than five hundred lives were lost in Indiana in automobile accidents the first six months of the year, is urging a state safety drive that will educate the people to be more careful. Safety lanes in towns and ci.ies, free inspection of brakes, lights, and the car in general will be provided. The governor said in a recent speech: "Permit me to point out some of the more prevalent causes of accidents: First, faulty brakes, and in this free inspection of your car by the state polie, if your brakes are found to be faulty, you are required by law to have them properly adjusted. Failure to dim lights in night driving is another cause for accidents, and one of the most frequent causes for accidents is the attempt of the motorist to pass another on a curve or on the brow of a hill, where vision Is obscured. This is a violation of the law. "The reckless driver, under our law, need not he the fast driver, and in many cases where there is heavy .traffic, the motorist driving at an unreasonably slow rate of si>eed endangers traffic, and :s classed as a reckless driver. Driving onto a through or preferential highway without stopping is another cause of frequent accidents. "The elimination of the human element, of course, is impossible in highway traffic, and just so long as there are irresponsible and care-,, less motorists, just so long will there be motor accidents. It is. however, the duty of the state, in ( so far as possible, to make our highways "fool proof,” and in doing this, safety 'aws have been enacted for your protection, and constant education is necessary." o *S T A ifs IG NAL S I by OCTAVINE * —♦ For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a. noted astrologer.
