There will be a lot of hand shaking the next ten days and that’s a part of an old home coming that is most enjoyable. It’s the renewing of old friendships that are de- ■ lightful. It begins to look as though the I coming campaign will be an excit-1 ing one, with most of it on the air. Six Democratic governors answered Mr. Landon last evening and from now on there will be plenty of politics on the radio. Thanks for all Jhe good things that have been said about the Centennial edition and thanks to all those who cooperated so splendid-1 ly in making it possible. We hope! that copies of it will be displayed! at the next Centennial. Indiana has no finer citizen tha’i M. Clifford Townsend, the Democratic candidate for governor. He should appeal to every one who, wishes to have this important place. tilled by a man who in every way, is big enough for the job. We are all going to feel a little | better when Claude Bowers and the rest of the Americans in Spain are out on the high seas and headed for the U. S. A. We don't like, the way those senors are throw-, ing tilings around ove-’ there. Parking is going to be one of our problems next week and local, people are asked to leave the desirable places for the visitors. We have promised courteous treat-i ment and this Is one of the best I ways to show we mean it. Os course its warm, that’s the' right kind of weather for this time ’ of year and its a very good time j to lie getting your fuel and furnace * or stove, ready for next winter, when you will have as always, the ' zero blasts and the ice and snow. The special edition of the Daily . Democrat w ill go all over the United States and some outside, telling how a ceutuiy has marched byl in Adams county and Decatur, and we are sure it will prove helpful. ; Keep the house locked the next ten days if you leave It. Remember there are many strangers here j and will be many more. While; 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.

1 local and state police officers will i do all they can to prevent law vio ! lations, you should assist by being careful. We are getting so many compliments about Decatur that we must j realize we have something to live up to. Every one, far and near, ‘ has a good word to say about this community. Its good to hear, but reinero be r the responsibility mustn’t end there. Wo must keep up the good work. — Better not take any chances on the bunk that a Republican ad-, ministration would help business. It hasn’t always, if you remember ' back just a few years. They were ■ in and strong, when the recent depression broke and were helpless to take us out. Mr. Roosevelt did it so quickly that the public ought, 1 to appreciate it. ■ The National Safety Council has ' figured it out that 2% of the auto- ! mobiles in this country have I wheels out of alignment, 28% have . defective brakes and 32% have in- , adequate headlights. In other words 62% of all cars in use are ; defective. Last January Ist, there ! were over 26,000,000 cars in the United States and figured from I this basis, nearly 16.000,000 had. something wrong with them. Do i you wonder we have so many acci- ’ dents? One of the inequalities of the I present law governing the oper-1 j ation of the state highway depart- 1 ment brought out at the meeting I here of the Highway Survey Com-| mission is the maintenance of i streets over which state highways . I pass in cities and towns up to j 3,500 population. Just why cities I and towns of over 3,500 population should be discriminated against ; has never been made clear and the next Legislature will likely remedy l I the situation judging by the senti-| ment expressed at the meeting. A street is a street and state highway traffic does just as much dam- j age to those of the larger cities as in the smaller towns, yet under ’ the present system the state maintains the streets in the smaller i places over which pass state roads. ' The theory probably is that the larger places are more able to maintain these streets than the smaller ones. Yet the motorists in the larger cities pay their full ‘ share of the tax and should be entitled to this much relief from I property taxes in maintaining | streets. —Newcastle Courier-Timer. o STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVI NE 11 For persons who neileve that hu-' man destnfy is guided by the planet, ■ the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
