Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Decatur is a good town and is being substantially boosted over the country by many interests. It will be better if every one does his share of advertising. When the thermometers showed eighty to ninety here, a fierce snow; storm was raging in Colorado, i which tended to coolott those who thought summer was here for good. The fight for control of the Democratic organization in the fourth district seems to have cooled considerably since the primary and it is expected to go off smooth-. i Brisbane predicts that in a few ] years there will be 25.000,000 planes and ship floating around in the air. The pedestrian then will] not only have to look to the right and left but straight up. Court house news is public property and the readers of a newspaper have the right to expect it. i Recently a number of people have • requested that items concerning I them be omitted. We wish it un-] derstood that these requests cannot be granted. Please don't ask it. Republicans selected Ralph Yager again to serve as county chairman, a job he has handled some several years past. Mr. Yager seems to have the party workers united behind him and his recognition in the district is outstanding. He will present his cause to the people of Adams county. The sample of summer weather was appreciated and the weather man has received many orders to keep it up. After some seven months of furnace firing, sweeping snow and slipping about on the ice, most of us will require several l weeks of the ninety in the shade brand, to thaw us out completely. The Centennial is coming and every body is getting ready. By the way, if you have never managed or assisted in managing a campaign of this kind, you have no idea of the innumerable details necessary to provide a week of amusement and benefit. And this, remember, is to be the best ever given here. The German dirigible Hindenburg arrived ahead of time, lopping nearly a day and a half off any previous record. This is the first of ten round trips to be made during the summer and within another year it is expected that it will be possible to travel around the world by air, In a short time and in perfect comfort. The final distribution for the People's State Bank of Berne has been authorized by Judge DeVoss and this payment will make a total of one hundred per cent to the depositors and leave something for the stockholders. It is a wonderful showing and those to whom this performance is due. deserve a vote of appreciation.

The thugs are not doing well. ! They get picked up these days al most before they have a chance to spend their loot. Alt Brady, who Is charged with murdering Police Sergeant Rivers of Indianapolis, now admits a number of robberies but says his $35,000 worth ot jewelry which was stolen in Ohio, was taken from him by another gang. When thieves fight each other, the result is disastrous tor them. A long, useful and happy lite ended Saturday when the spirit of Mrs. Jane Acker passed to the Great Beyond. Born in this county ninety-six years ago, she had witnessed the progression of county and city from a wilderness to the modern community it now is. Until a few weeks ago she had enjoyed excellent health and her advice was sought and followed by those who knew her best. She was a fine and lovely woman, whose life is worth emulating and she will be sadly missed by relatives, neighbors and friends. Nathan C. Nelson will continue to guide the Democratic campaign ship, his re-election as county chairman Saturday afternoon, being by acclamation. With two ; years experience and the full coi operation of his assistant officials land the thirty-four committeemen, he w ill make an excellent showing. The campaign will be an important one, since we elect not only local officials, but state officers, including the governor, and also will , re-elect Roosevet and Garner. Mr. I Nelson is qualified to lead his party ■ to a great victory. 0 — STAR SIGNALS -BVOCTAVIN E For persons who believe that hu-l man destniy is guided by the planet, tin daily horoscope is outlined by | a noted astrologer.
