I*, press is playing up the little things so you will forget i the real issue, which after all is whether or not you want prosperity to continue. It's Roosevelt and Garner and if the demonstrations put on at, Philadelphia mean any thing, all we have to do is to wait for the straw votes and the election. The weather man, not to be out , done, evidently plans to put on a drought this year that will break 1 all previous records. Hope theu sou-of-a-guii loses his wrench. Hail to the Queen of the Cen- : tennial. She will receive many honors and be the center figure in various events of the big week The contest was interesting and added much pep to the affair. If you don't cut those weeds, the city will have to and it will he charged to the property as taxes. That's not the way to do it. Lets ; get every weed down and every property looking its best before i 'Centennial week. Advertisements of varied kinds js now proclaiming the Centennial to be held here August 2nd to Bth,' Inclusive. Every one will know about the event and every one who Ttrn do so will be here to celebrate w hundred years of achievement. ’. Governor McNutt boiled down his Indiana convention speech and gave the national convention eight minutes of it that brought cheers from every delegatioa. The gov ernor is a possibility as a candidate in 1940 and this state will be back of him enthusiastically. ” Mr. Hamilton is opening head-, quarters in Chicago and Mr. Fardey will probably set up an office | ■in Mr. Landon's home town, show ' iug that the middle west is to have a great part in the coming battle.' Jtoth are claiming everything. Os Jfourse one of them is wrong. - This is a good buying season ami j In most cities the merchants are using extra advertising space to juvite their trading public in We Jnow of no reason why it should!) t be done here, where every body I ts' working and where trade is I brisk. Rain and plenty of it the next | two or three weeks is needed bad 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 K. 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.

ly in this section and wc seem to ibe faring much better than the i west and northwest. The east has ' ' been drowned out but the rest of i the country and even the wheat; territory of Canada needs a big drink right now. The next month will be a very busy one for those who are carrying the responsibilities of the big Centennial. Every official and every member of each committee are working diligently and you can bet your last penny that it won't be their fault if it isn't the biggest show ever given in a city of 6,ODD. Mr. Roosevelt looks older and ’ who wouldn’t? Few men have ever stood up as long under such ‘ a strain as the past four years' have been. From the time he started his campaign 'four years ago this month, he has had but little rest and has carried burdens ' that most folks would not undertake to lift. Racers at the Indianapolis Speedway next year will not be limited as to amount of gas used, this being claimed by several of this I year's contestants as the cause for them losingjout. The restriction this year was 3714 gallons. When that was gone, they were out. The contest board has now held the rule is unfair and dangerous and it has been reiiealed. James R. Fleming prosecuted two dangerous crooks, Harlan 1 Crouch and James Jacobs, Indianapolis rum runners who confessed to killing John R. Foster, an in-' ternal revenue agent. They have been sentenced to life imprison- [ ment and Mr. Fleming is asking that they be sent to Alcatraz i prison, where from what can be learned the punishment is genu- ; inc. Good work, Jim. While it was no surprise to the I delegates, the visitors or to Roose- j velt and Garner, the notification at Franklin Field Saturday eve- : ning was as enthusiastic and spontaneous as though they had never heard of the idea of renominating these two leaders. At the same j time in five thousand cities, nomi- 1 nator parties were held and the ( funds thus raised will be sent to I the national committee to help in ' carrying on the big job of the campaign. • STAR SIGNALS -BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that hu-l man destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

He feels that whatever celluloid fame he may achieve is but transitory and that the good he nrght accomplis* as a "medical missionary” in the deep south would be an achievement of more lasting and beneficial nature.

Use Imagination in Night Lighting of Your Garden s L — ■ i -■■■ ■ ii —— - ’ I ysaUf. JE • , **^^• >; - i iwjFjMM v '■’ '' vtjk- '■ -L « Properly-planned night lighting transforms the garden into a veritable fairyland of color a lily pad is made of metal, with the light bulb clamped underneath.

By Jean Prentice IF yon are a garden lover—and most of us are —you’ve probably often wished that it wouldn’t get dark so soon. It does seem a shame, doesn't It. to be unable to enjoy your shrubs and flowers al just tho time when you would most appreciate seeing them? Perhaps yon’ve never tried lighting your garden at night. Once you do. you'll find that the time makes little difference; that, as a matter o! fact, gardens may be even more beautiful by night than by day. The effect is reaUj’ almost magical if you combine a little imagination with your use of lighting equipment. And you'll be pleasantly surprised at the moderate cost of the installation.

Rubber-covered, waterproof wiring equipment and clear or insidefrosted lamp bulbs are essential. These may be connected to an outlet on the porch or in the basement of your home. It you have some weatherproof Christmas-tree lamp strings, use them in flower beds, or inter-twined among shrubs, or even on the bottom of the fish pool. The first rule of the game In garden lighting is that the sources of light be concealed. The machinery of beauty must not show through. In most gardens it Is not difficult to obey this rule. Floodlighting equipment. can be hidden under a shrub or high in a tree top. But whether it comes from above or below, the light must be out of sight. Plants and shrubs should be lighted from two or more directions to. emphasize their form, and to
