Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Decatur is growing. There is (Hily one vacant business house in the up town district. A little paint, a few ornamental trees, a day or two of work on the ' lawns and flower beds can do! wonders in making any house look * like home. — Down in Tennessee they found 1 $5 bills on trees. Hut wait, before j you go there to pick the greenback leaves. The currency was swept out of banks and stores during the flood and caught on lhe branches and limbs of the trees. "We sought." President Roose-J velt explains, "simultaneously to I raise the farmer's cash income and to add to the working man's pay envelope. What our success has been you can prove by the simple process of putting the financial pages of any newspaper published in 1936 alongside the same newspaper published in 1932.” Try it. Raymond Clapper, shrewd Washington political observer and newspaper writer, comments. "So great is Roosevelt's strength that Republicans are less hopeful about the election than they have been in months. Every poll, every primary election, the private surveys of politicians, all agree upon the popularity which Roosevelt holds in spite of everything." A news item reads, “Soybean crop adds $30,000,000 to midwestern farmers' income." The statement is no doubt true, for those who have watched the growth of the local industry appreciates that the fanner has been given a new crop and at good prices. Within the last two years several hundred additional acres in this county have been planted Io soy beans.

| Alfred Brady, the bad man and ( his gang of bandits who robbed a Lima. Ohio, Jewelry store, didn't do like the old robbers and bury their treasure in tin cans in un ' open Held. They put It away in l safe deposit boxes, but somehow the police learned of It and recov- . ered the entire loot, valued nt $50,- , 000. It's u hard job trying to ' beat the law and getting away with it-very long. 1 The different political camps arc ' issuing all kinds of claims. Naturally there will be disappointments, as all can't win. Based on the best information from over the state and admitted by the best political ob s e r v e rs, Lieutenant-Governor Cliff Townsend of Marion may be nominated by the Democrats on the first ballot. A majority of the delegates will go into the convention pledged to Townsend and those who have made up slates, declare he'll receive more than 1,100 votes on the first roll call. It requires only 923 to nominate. Townsend is supported by leaders throughout the state and has the, largest following in the rural dis-j tricts. Among the Republican candidates, former Judge Raymond ' Springer of Connersville, who made ! the race in 1932 and Glen Hillis. 1 ; attorney of Kokomo, are the most . i favorably spoken of to lead their ■ party. The state conventions will jhe held next month. THANKSGIVING OUT OF SEASON; Neither politics at home nor bloodshed abroad can confine the; interests of the average Hoosier. Truly, we have much for which ' we may be thankful. Most of us have decent jobs and | comfortable homes, some recreation. hope in the future, pride in ’ the past, and —most important of. all — devoted relatives and lasting I 1 friends. I i i To date, we have been unable' ■to achieve a Utopia. Utopia may never be attained. But when we compare our climate, our pleasures, our poten- ' tialities and our opportunities , with those offered on foreign I shores, we can be grateful to those I courageous forefathers who built l their homesteads here. Indiana is a well-balanced state, i If Hoosiers do not enjoy the balmy breezes of Florida in the wintertime, they have the satisfaction of knowing that their summers lack some of the intensity of the summers in the deep, deep south. If all the attractions of Manhattan, all the gaiety of New Orleans, all the deep-seated culture of old Boston are not ours, we take pride in that large portion which we have obtained blending it with a certain freshness, of feeling and depth of inner understanding which possibly—may not be found in each metropolis. Our land is a fertile land. Our town is a prosperous town. Our people are a substantial people. We must not be content to remain exactly as we are today. Wei must seek improvement. Smug! ness is never desirable. . But the fact remains that, as a group, we possess and enjoy the finest gifts of God.
