The sooner there is an end to the need for relief, the sooner we will return to a prosperity that is genuine and dependable and that time we hope and feel is near at hand. Better enjoy your radio this autumu. This time next year you won't be able to get any thing but political speeches, compared to which the jazz of today sounds like sweet music. Louisiana probably hasn't a man ready to assume the Long leadership. The late senator was a suave and smart politician who knew every card in the game and could deal from the bottom if necessary. It may be a long time before they find another like him. August of this year was fifty per cent better than last year and it is believed that September will even exceed that. In another year we will be breaking all records. What are you going to do? Each individual and each business concern can go forward if they will. IL isn’t nearly so important whether Ickes or Hopkins and the other higher ups continue in of-fice-as it is that men be put to work and kept on the jobs. This is no tine to stop the wheels of industry which seem to be leading us right into an era of great prosperity. Farmers of the United States will have an income of $6,700,000, 000 this year, the largest sum since 1929 and the best argument that something has happened, regardless of how they rail against the AAA and other organizations designed to aid the man on the farm earn a profit. Decatur merchants say their business is improving. It will continue to do so if they advertise in their home paper. Its a matter of common sense that when they send their message to thousands of people each day in the week, they can secure more customers. We reach the people in this trading radius. Already they have started taking polls to size up next year's election. asking the voter’s opinion as to the popularity of President Roosevelt. The results in each instance where fairly taken, is that if an election were held this autumn. he would be reelected by a larger majority than tn 1932. He has made good and will so continue. Many property owners are taking advantage of the opportunity to get concrete sidewalks built for BAlf the regular price You pay nothing tor the labor and its the

I best chance you ever had and probt (ably ever will have to get such an improvement so cheap. Decatur has many miles of excellent sidewalks but if you are going to need one, now is the wise time. t Leaders of the Italian army will have to know what they are doing 1 and how to do it if they get far in t their attack on Ethiopia. According to stories from there, a con- , quering army will have to cross J deserts, climbs dangerous and vol- > canic mountains, go through flood ’ ed rivers and then fight an army ; of natives who live on raw meats, ) red peppers and honey beer. Must ’ be something besides the oil to make such an undertaking worth while. Sale by auction of the vast holdings of the Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland, will include two lines running through Decatur, the Erie and the Cloverleaf, the latter a branch of the Nickel Plate. Much interest will he manifested here bei cause these two railroads run within a city block of each other and I because of the years of discussion as to the advisability of combining them. What it will mean to many individuals and communities, only ' time will tell. The meteoric rise of the Van Swearingens, their courageous battle to stem the losses and disasters of the depression. is one of the greatest business recitals in all time. The two men made a fortune in Cleveland real estate and carried on until the controlled railroad properties and other business valued at more than , three billion dollars. Their properties will now be sold under the auctioneer's hammer and now new fortunes will be made by other ambitious young men.

He shot the plane up several thousand feet, then left his controls and joined the fight. For a number of minutes the plane jerked about with no hand at its controls. Mulquecney, desperate, jerked the fire extinguisher front its rack and brought it down on Koenecke'* head. He then raced back to the controls, leveling the plane off less than a thousand feet above the suburb of New Toronto. ■When he landed a few minutes later on the Ijong Branch rac» track.

"I couldn't do anything else,” Mulqueeney told police. "It was a question of three lives or one.” So heavy was the blow of the extinguisher that one side of I Koenecke's skull was crushed. Mulqueeney still was badly! shaken when he landed the plane. Davis showed the marks of his fight with the husky athlete known in aJI the circuits in which he had played as a pugnacious.' aggressive player. He had been j beaten and bitten severely. The fight started an hour after; the plane left Detroit. Mulquecney said. Koenecke first had sat beside him in the pilot’s seat. When he interfered witli the piloting, he ordered him into the seat with Davis. Within a very few minutes the fight was on. Mulqueeney said he heard Davis ! cry out repeatedly when Koenecke sank his teeth into his shoulders and arms. Next he knew the men were wrestling furiously on the floor of the cabin. It was then, desperate in the knowledge that a few more seconds would wreck the plane, Mulqueeney left his controls and wad«d in with the fire extinguisher. For so.ne time a/ter the fight.

HOOVER BACKS CONSTITUTION Ex-President Warns Americans Against Surrendering Freedom San Diego, Calif.. Sept. 17 —<U.R> — Herbert Hoover, former president, today warned Americans against "surrendering their free dom for false promises of economic . security." In a constitution day address at the Pacific International exposition Hoover acme "mechanical civilization of fascism, nazlem, and communism." Urging a defense of the bill of rights of the national constitution, the former chief executive said: "Today the constitution is under stronger discussion than since the Civil War. in which the issue was • negro slavery. Today the issue is , the rights of the individual ... "In the hurricane of revolutions which have swept the world since the war. men, struggling in the wreckage and poverty brought by that catastrophe and complications of the machine age. are in despair surrendering their freedom for false promises of economic security. "Whether it be fascist Italy, j nazi Germany or communist Russia. the result is the same. Every day they have repudiated every principle of the bill of rights, with speech, press, worship aud criticism censored, and men sent to i jail for uttering their honest opinions." Referring to the "crisis" facing the United States and its constitution. he declared that "this is the most fundamental clash known to mankind. It involves . . . the issue of the rights of the individual in relation to this government. "If for no other reason, this discussion -of the constitution—ls forced on us by new philosophies, new theories of government which have arisen, denying the validity of our principles. "Our constitution is not alone a working plan of a great federation i of states, but Has embedded in it vital principles of the American system of liberty, based on inalienable freedoms that not even the government can iriTringe upon. "They are called the ‘bill of rights', which, as clear as the Ten Commandments, include freedom
