The people are listening to their President and are believing him in preference to the critics and politicians. Mrs. Sage, the woman in red. might want to stay in this country, but the United States can get along very well without her. X Why not erect flasher lights at the Monmouth crossing? The cost would be small and lives might be saved, which no one can measure in dollars and cents. “The expenditure of billions of dollars by the government was bound to have its effect on the volumne of buying," says the Indianapolis Slur in an editorial attacking the administration.

most of the time, warns his party not to attack the AAA. He says the farmers have gone on record , in favor of the agriculture act ami! that there will be little hope of winning the election if they oppose the measure. Another chance lost. Britain is ready to go the limit, which we presume is her business but once she enters the war she has no right to ask this or any other nation to come to her relief. She may never need it, but wars are expensive umi there are so many entanglements that the future is grave not only for them and Italy and Ethiopia but for the rest of the world as well. The police, always interested in public safety and to be of service in seeing that the public is protected, are encouraged over the compliance of motorist and truck driver in observing the traffic signal on North Second street. It should be remembered that the signal was placed there to protect car ami truck drivers. Heavy traffic at this point demands the observance of the stop and go sig- | nal and everyone will be better I off if he drives accordingly. Seldom, if ever, has this community had the opportunity of extending felicitations to a couple married 68 years. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Parr, living east of Decatur in Blue Creek township, were married three score and eight years ago yesterday and their happiness in living that long together is no less than that felt by their friends in this community. It’s wonderful to say the least. This spletidid couple have made their home in this county for 65 years, reared a family of three children and lived to see 28 grandchildren and 45 great grandchildren. Mr. Parr, a veteran, of the Civil War and one of the four : living soldiers who wore the Blue is in good health. His wife, suffering fsmii invalidism, however, is not quite so fortunate. To them the community sends orchids, chrysanthemums and roses and large bouquets of everything else that is good and in keeping with the observance of such a happy occasion. 0 *S T A RSI GN AL S * by Octavine For persons who believe that humar destiny Is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

RELIEF COSTS ! SHOW DECLINE - Decrease Os 31.5 Per ( ent In Relief Cost Noted In Indiana Indianapolis. Oct 2.-A decrease of $»34,44».«3, or 31.5 per cent, in the total monthly commitments against all public funds for the general relief program in Indiana in August, as compared to July, was announced today by officials of the governor's commission on unemployment relief. This is the largest decrease recorded in a single month since the relief program was started. In the same period there was a reduction of 6.496 in the total number of resident cases receiving direct and work relief. The decrease in commitments, it was said by the commission officiate. was due largely to the geu eral discontinuance of the federal emergency relief administration's work relief program, which resulted in a reduction of $858,799.31 In work relief obligations and of 37,*46 resident cases receiving work relief in this period At the same time direct relief obligations increased $303,988.20 and direct relief cases 12,437. due to the fact that pending the transfer from the FERA to the works progress administration many families and individuals who had been on work relief had to be given direct aid. The rest of the decrease is accounted for by reductions in administrative costs, and in the purchase of materials, equipment rentals and other items in connection with the work relief program. Other factors entering into the decrease in total commitments and total number of resident cases were the absorption of some persons on relief by the works progress administration program, which started on August 1. and gains in private employment due to continued improvement in bus I iuess conditions.
