Think twice and then wait a few I more days before you cut down a 1 tree. You can't replace the beauty i of a tree and nine times out of ten, it is not necessary to remove it. I Many cities have ordinances which prevent the removal of trees unless approval is given by the park board or corresponding committee. =■ Don't be unduly influenced by so called big-city business promoters. Your judgment is as good as theirs and you know what is best for the community. We like to see growth and expansion, but some of the propositions offered are aimed to harm local interests and in the long run do not benefit the community.. Governor Hoffman of New Jersey will go to the Republican national convention as a delegate, the voters deciding in his favor in Tuesday's primary. A campaign was made against him because of His action in the Haptmann case, but the majority rolled up in his favor would indicate that his party favored his decision. He more than likely put on the squeeze play and showed the boys what a governor could do. The Ravelings staff of Decatur high school is to be congratulated on this years edition of the high school year book. Dedicated to CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

I the 100th anniversary of the founding of Decatur, the book not only l . represents the efforts of the editors and associates, but becomes a memento of the city's Centennial. The book is illustrated with pictures. enhanced with a color photograph of the local school and art work. The staff can well feel proud of the production. Decatur likes it. | =_= | The District of Columbia court of appeals' decision will not hamper or stop the work at the Decatur Homestead site. The garages will be completed and repairs to the houses will be made as originally' planned. The adverse decision was rendered in the Virginia case and the court's opinion does not affect other projects, officials state. Eventually the government will complete the job, work out a tax plan and method of financing and not only the tenants, but communities in which homestead divisions are located will benefit from the step taken by the department in making it possible for families to own their own home. Feature attractions for the Centennial celebration are being bookied so rapidly that those not acquainted with the work of the genI eral committee have a vague idea 'of the big program that is taking i form. The town is to be beautifully decorated, streamers of patriotic design and including pictures of Commodore Decatur, will be erected over the streets and on the ornamental light posts. An amplifying system will be one of the unique attractions It will be sim , ilar to the one in use in Fort • Wayne at Christmas time last ' j year. Musical programs will be i 'broadcast throughout the city and everything will be in tune with the I spirit and attitude which grips the community during its birthday i celebration.

* STATE PERSONALITIES Elective And Appointive Officers of Indiana. ■ ■ , Hoosier Incomes Higher C. A. JACKSON, Some people like to make the subject of taxation complicated and mystifying, but not so with Clarence A. Jackson, director of the gross income tax division of Indiana. He has a faculty for mak ing the subject easily understood and for that reason has been a I popular speaker over the state the past year and a half. Mr. Jackson's ; home is in Newcastle. He is a l former state commander of the American Legion. When Mr. Jackson was appointed to his present position by Goviernor Paul V. McNutt in 1933. he 'was faced with the task of adminHstering s new law unlike any then 1 existing in the country. Education of various groups to their responsibilities under the new law was immediately necessary. During his first year as gross income tax director Mr. Jackson averaged three and a half talks a week and visited nearly every county in the state. Most of these addresses were before Rotary Clubs. Kiwanis Clubs, trade associations. farm bureaus, labor bodies and* other business organizations. • At the same time Mr. Jackson has directed th? formation of a department which now handles the collection of more than $13,000,000 annually, principally for use by local schools of the state. Gross income tax collections for the first half of 1935 were 16% I above those for the same period in 1934, giving real evidence of business improvement. o . — r rade in a Good Town — Decatur Dr. Eugene Fields i DENTIST X-RAY LABORATORY i Phone No. 56 127 N. 3rd st. 7'" 275 '.ttZ T72222.
