And on every important question. we all wonder what WHI Rogers would have to say.

Decatur will not provide a “hotel’’ or barracks for tramps this winter. In the first place no funds are ava.i'ahle and secondly nc building is available. Tell the hoboes to move on and they can find a warmer climate by the t-ime snow flies. The parking lot on First streel is used on Saturday nights, but nol much durtMU the week. When you drive up town to shop, why noi park on the lot, walk just a. block and do your shopping. The lot is conveniently located, there are nt time limits on parking and if yoi want to help out on the traffic situation, park your car there. The Wa.'l Street Journal recently devoted a column to Indiana's splendid financial condition. The article was a comment on the state's five million dollar surplus, as of July 31st date. It was very complimentary and deal: with Indiana's new tax policy and the distribution of several million dollars to the school units. Indiana is one of few states in the Union where schools were not closed or terms curtailed because of lack of funds. The "Indiana Plaji” is recognized as one of the soundest and beneficial of any used in the 48 states. A local citizen made the worthy suggestion that newspapers should make a campaign to have the state adopt a uniform traffic light system. The Decatur man told of driving to another town. There the traffic lights were found on the side of the street, in the center of the street and overhead. It was very confusing. The last legislature had a bill introduced along those lines, but somewhere down the line it was blocked? probably due to« the expense -it would heap on cities where the signal lights did not conform to the adopted system.

Silent crowds paid their last respects to the memories of Will Rogers and Wiley Post as their bodies were brought back from Alaska. Top photo shows the funeral plane arriving at Loa Angeles with the

car owner is interested in and , now is the time for public discuss- , ion of the question. Unless the fund is exhausted w-ei don’t see the need of making September 16 the deadline for filing applications with the PWA. Many towns are employing engineers to ; prepare these preliminary petitions and it is doubtful iT the data re- | quired can be obtained by that I • dale.lM* 1 11* 1 - privata industry ,is i! picking ajr enough to warrant aj i curtailment of public work and ‘ that may be one reason why the government has determined not to accept applications after the middle of next month. Some prov-is-, i ion should be made in those cases : where municipalities are working; on the petitions and getting the : detailed facts required -in making I out the application. Newspaper headlines show that , little if any progress has been, made in cutting down America's! horrible automobile accident toll—' a toll that took 35,000 lives last ■ year. Over the single week-end, of August third and fourth. 115: people were killed in automobile! crashes. Thousands were injured seriously. Property damage ran ’ to a vast total. And that week-end was simply an average one — the same thing happens week ajter week. The nation must take a , m«. e aggressive stand than it ever 1 uas in pursuing and prosecuting reckless and incompetent drivers, i if innocent lives are to be saved. If the chance-taking motorist risked no neck but his own, it would be possible to overlook this—but, under present conditions, he menaces us all. Bandits reccnt'y stole $24,000 in bonds from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Besing. elderly farm couple of Effingham county, Illinois. The robbers threatened to come hack and kill the old couple and burn ! the place if they reported the theft to the sheriff. The home is a poor I place to keep any large amount of' I money or securities. Tha,t is par-1 J ticulafly true of the farm home, ifar from police protection. Sonie- • one is sure to hear about <t, and robbery is easy. Keep your money in the bank. Deposits in practically a'l banks are guaranteed by' | the government up to $5,000. If I i yon have more than that, you can | divide it up among different banks. 1 Rent a safe deposit box at the bank for your securities. The cost is small compared with the risk of keeping them around home. — ■ Prairie Farmer.

Private lending institutions approved by the Federal Housing Administration will advance funds to property owners for such improvements as are illustrated above. The improvement resulting from a newly, plastered ceiling and indirect lighting is well pictured in the above photographs. Venetian blinds have also been installed. Also, general office efficiency is bettered through the rearrangement of office furniture in enclosed sections with glass partitions separating the various departments. Better visibility and a more carefully planned office arrangement adds materially to the effectiveness of an office interior. Funds in amounts up to $50,000 are now available for such projecUi
