The Fourth of July comes next and isn't far away and then a little later the big Centennial. Gee, are we going to be busy around here I this summer? Hello Mr. Gates, howdy Mr. Irwin, it is pleasant to see you greeting each other so cordially, but it would be more interesting to hear just what you are saying under your breath. Cary Forkuer of Anderson, well known Democratic leader an d chairman of the eleventh congressional district, died Sunday of a heart attack, bringing genuine ‘ sorrow to thousands of friends over the state who knew and admired I him. Memorial Day was observed here by hundreds and the exercises were impressive. Due honor was paid to departed heroes and to many who did not serve in war. It is fitting that we set aside this one day out of the year to give reverence to those who have passed on. The construction industry in In-; diana is 218% better in the first months of 1936 than it was in' 1935. Building permits in Indian-1 apolis alone in the first quarter | were $1,000,000 higher than last I year. Leading firms and depart-' meat stores in the capital city are building additions and preparing for the best business in years. The big outstanding news item for many today is that railroad fares drop from 3.6 cents per mile to two cents, making it possible to ride in that manner cheaper than by any other known method, including your automobile. The; change comes by order of the interstate commerce commission and will be watched with interest by those who really wish to travel at' the least cost. . The Republican convention will be held in Indianapolis this week and the faithful from here and elsewhere began conferring earnestly today. While there are feelings of animosity, factional fights and some hot contests as to platform and organization, it is expected they will agree on scheduletime, spread the oil and make the claims of great victory, realizing all the while that they are whistling to keep up courage. 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.

| Over ninety-one people were t killed in twenty-five states by automobiles over the double holiday, which is only about half the average tor the past several years. The National Safety council claims t credit on the theory that their pleas for greater care are being t listened to. It is to be hoped so, . but we are sure there is much to L be done ye t for many accidents were narrowly averted and perhaps 1 the record over Memorial Day was * more or less lucky. I Politics take some strange turns 1 at times and one of these occured i last week. At about the time Robert A. Taft of Cincinnati was as-1 sured of the favorite son vote of j Ohio in the Republican national convention, his mother, Mrs. William Howard Taft, gave an inter- ( view to the Charleston (S. C.) ■ News-Courier, in which she endors-; ied the re-election of President' 1 Roosevelt. The statement of Mrs. ! Taft excited more interest than the son's winning of the Ohio delegation. — The Newcastle CourierTimes. i Indiana's new public welfare act, passed by the special session of I the General Assembly this year, came in for high praise at the re-1 cent meeting of the Central States j Probation and Parole Conference in Indianapolis. The new state de-1 partment of public welfare has a I division of corrections under which I , iS consolidated for the first time I all affairs relating to prisons, paroles. probation and state correc-1 tional institutions. It is one of the i most advanced steps to be taken by any stato in the L'niou in this direction. Tributes to the life, character ' and work of the Reverend Father, Joseph Seimetz were paid in re- i ligious and civil programs Sunday. 1 in celebration of the priest's silver! , jubilee. It was a happy occasion ' for St. Mary's congregation and | . likewise enjoyable to the Reverend Jubilarian. Father Seimetz had the privilege of celebrating his, own jubilee high mass, during; which Father Moorman of Michi-j ' gan City delivered the sermon. In ' 1 the evening Father Seimetz, who jin three short years as pastor of I the local church has endeared himself to his parish and to the comI inunity was honored in a program given by the school children and members of the congregation. o STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily h-voscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Possibly the most notable feature of the new fashions which stylists have turned out for the 1936 season is that colors will be even more brilliant than in the somewhat gaudy creations of recent seasons. Novel fabrics have been used to give a further distinctive touch to the new ensembles Kay Francis models a gown of unusual type, reflecting the Gibson girl era. with it# luffed
