Rockefeller lived through 97 summers and still smiles. it we all talked "Business" as much as we do the weather, we'd hit peaks in sales in a short time. Congressman Zioncheck should get an answer to his speech, "Who's Crazy." which he proposes to make next Monday. The town is dressing up for Centennial week. The thousands of visitors will be impressed with the tidiness of the city and the well kept homes. Senator Borah, although a veteran in the senate, may find he has a real light, on his hands to win the Republican nomination for the United States senate from Idaho. Younger men are in the race and the state may be in line for a new deal. ■ i Man has done little towards using the elements to his advantage. We freezq in winter and melt in

summer. What the country needs | is an Edison or Steinmetz to hottie | the zero blasts and mix it with the I I torrid July waves and then living will be about perfect. | i i Personal property values in this 1 city and county have increased the < past year. In Decatur alone the increase is about 175,000, which does not include improvements to t real estate. Values are coming 1 back quickly and in this community the trend will be upward for years. The nation is becoming exposi- '1 tion and world fair minded. This year marks a record in state ex i positions, the Great Lakes and • Texas Centennial shows being among the largest. A corporation ; has been formed to promote a! world's fair in Indianapolis in 1939j' and 1940. Maybe by that time the country will have enough of midways and industrial shows and the, venture will fall through. Since I 1851, when the London exposition was held, attracting six million visitors, most of the big shows have grown in popularity, Chicago establishing an all-world peak with 38 million paid admissions. M. CLIFFORD TOWNStND: The Democratic candidate fori governor of the state of Indiana is well qiialitled for the position he has been chosen to till and will Had a militant campaign this full. ye has had much experience in Indiana politics and served as lieu tenant-governor during the present I administration. Throughout his! political activity, nobody has uttered a word of personal criticism. Mr. Townsend will be fifty-two! years old this August 11th. lie is married ami the father of three grown children. He was born on, a farm in Blackford county and lived there for eight years. He worked in the oil fields as a teamster and in glass factories as a laborer, saving money through the employment sec ons in order that

'he might attend high school and i college. After a course in teacher's training. he began teaching school and ' with these earnings attended co7 ' lege In the summer terms. He received his A. B. degree from the Marlon college and later completed a course in business admlnls- ‘ t ration in the Marlon business col- ; lege. He taught in the Blackford coun- 1 ty schools and was county superintendent of schools In both Black ford and Grant counties. His teachuig career ran from 1909 to 1919. He devoted most ot his time to farming until 1925 when he became director of organization for the Indiana Farm Bureau. He worked with farmers throughout the state from 1929 until 1932, wlten he won the office of lieutenant governor by a majority of 194,870 votes over his Republican opponent. Mr. Townsend was a member of the Indiana legislature in 1923 and so was well qualified to preside over the Indiana senate when he became lieutenant gover no r. Through two regular sessions and one special session of the General Assembly, the Indiana state senate under Mr. Townsend, as presiding officer, has been noted for the order and dispatch with which it attended to legislative problems. To him goes no small measure of credit for the successes of the Democratic state administration of the past four years. Tn addition I to being presiding officer of thel senate, Mr. Townsend, by virtue of his office, also have been Indiana's Agricultural cofitmissioner and head of the Indiana state fair which his office managed with such. success that it turned this formerly costly state venture into an annual profit for the State Treasury. Indiana democracy should well feel proud of the man nominated to lead the state ticket this fall. — I The Washington Democrat. o ♦ ♦

Dear Sir: Through the e.dumns ot >om paper. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the niot u is and fathers of Gene Johnsons band, who have just closed an engagement at Erie Beach Marine Garden, Lakeside, Ohio. It was my pleasure to know each member of the band personally and I would like to say that 1 have never met a cleaner, finer group of y"« n B men. which assured me of the type of home training they have recetvI it is so easy for'a \grottp ot fellows to get away from home and their immediate friends and forget themselves, but such was not the case with this band. Every man conducted himself in a gentlemanly manner and I am sure as the years pass by, every citizen of Decatur will have an opportunity to admire and appreciate this band of Gene Johnson s. Erie Beach Marine Garden is one of the oldest on the Great Lakes, having operated for the past twenty-seven years. We play bands of many varieties, including some of America's foremost radio and name hands and in every case the personnel is made up f older musicians, therefore, it was a great surpris to me to watch the work of Johnson's musicians.
