The so-called bugaboo about election years is not scaring any-; one in 1936. Leading industries, in the country are spending nearly J a billion and a quarter dollars for, modernization, repair and plant expansion.. And they wouldn’t be * spending this vast sum unless they j thought it was good business. Old King Haile Selassie worried too much on his throne and is now 1 suffering a breakdown in Jeru- i salem, which place he scooted to; when he found his army had run amuck. He has about 20 million dollars with him and that should enable him to take a needed rest and have a little fun on the side. Keep on sending in the names of former Decatur residents to the Home-Coming chairman. The committee desires to issue invitations to all those who formerly lived here and if you provide the names and addresses the old-timers will i be invited to visit the home town during the Centennial celebration. Committees are working on an industrial exhibit for the Centennial exhibition. If suitable quarters can be obtained, an exhibit of Decatur-made products would be one of the outstanding features ot the week. No city the size of Decatur has such diversified and nationally known products. They are shipped to all four corners of the country and are the production of local labor and industry. A blot on the happy summer season is the drownings reported over the week-end. Four persons were drowned in Indiana Sunday, bathers going to the rivers for a a little swim and respite from the hot weather.. It’s too bad that every community can't afford a couple supervised swimming pools, thus eliminating part of the danger and at the same time providing better conditions for those who enjoy a swim. An Indianapolis department store has announced the building of an eight story addition. We all know that one of the reasons for store expansion is increased trade and business in the capital city must be humming right along. This is the second large department store to expand in the last year Roosevelt not only restored banks and confidence, but it seems that he

1 helped every line of mercantile i trade and profession. Frank 11. Shutts, attorney and newspaper publisher of Miami, is ■ slated to succeed Senator Trammell in the senate. Mr. Shutts is a former Hoosier and lived in this state until 1910 when he went south He has become a leading figure in Florida, owning the leading newspaper in Miami und is one of the best known lawyers in the state. He would accept the honor, friends say, providing he is not expected to run for the balance of the unexpired term next year. Decatur's PWA project, including the installation of a 2,000 KWH turbine, exciter, switchboard and condenser at the City Light and Power plant will be approved. The government will furnish $49,800 of the required $112,000 needed to purchase the machinery and the building of the addition at the plant to house it.. City officials hope that work can be started in a short time, the need for the additional generating equipment being at hand. The plant is running full tilt and is supplying a rapidly growing community with its electrical energy. ■ Northern Indiana Republicans i are supporting Ralph Gates of Co- ' lumbia City for state chairmani ship. His friends in this part of -the state would be happy to see i tlie fourth district chairman elevat,ed to the state post, but the In'dianapolis Star predicts the reelection of Don B. Irwin of Frank- , fort. Irwin probably has the back ,ing of the stand-pat group which J controls the party and Republicans 'over this way have not and are not ■ being given much consideration. The Fort Wyane grass roots convention proved a fizzle because it lacked support from over the state.'

ot the meeting date of the General Assembly each two years. The budget commission is composed «f appointed members of the two houses of the Indiana legislature and includes both Republican and Democratic members. They scan the budget requests of state Institutional and departmental heads and then conduct hearings and personal investigations in an effort to keep expenses at the l?.west point consistent with good business management of state affairs In the past, it was the policy of administrations immediately iprocedlng the present one to be "penny wise and pound foolish" in the matter of keeping upstate institutional buildings. Governor McNutt declined to follow this course und Insisted that wards of the state should not be kept in danger of their lives, living in fire traps, simply to make a better budget showing. Consequently, the budget law was amended to give the Governor and Budget director authority to port the appropriations tor buildings and building repairs at the State institutions. The result has been that the taxpayers ot the state are getting more for their construction dollar. Long needed repairs and construction are being carried out with the State s moneygoing f.-.r materials and WPA money paying wages of workmen who otherwise would be unemployed. So the state is getting double its money in institutional improvements. , . „ . , <) ■— WRITER TELLS FIRST (CONTINUED From mGE <>XEI halted their casual building of roads and bridges and went on to Addis Ababa to find the capital in even a more deplorable condition than they had expected. The British put a barbed wire obstruction in the legation grounds 100 yards from the roadway in order to avoid a possible incident with the actively anti-British Italians. In Addis Ababa the Italians authorities had great difficulty in suppressing the widespread sniping and pillaging. On one occasion I left the Italian palace and was ambushed in the main street of the city by five Ethiopians. 1 shot down one and fled up the street to join the Italians, a hundred yards away.
