There are more “wet paint" signs | in Decatur than you’ll find in a paint factory. Charles Shoaf in St. Mary's' township had an oats yield of 90 •' bushels to the acre. That's the kind of crops farmers raise in Ad ams county. If we had anything to do witli the weather calendar, we d have a shower Saturday and then seven days of Indiana sunshine, with not a cloud in the sky. President Roosevelt and the Can-1 adiau Premier enjoyed hot dog sandwiches togther, so in case you don’t get a chicken dinner Sunday, go the Roosevelt way. Visitors are coming from several states for the outdoor religious, services Sunday. It will be one of the most inspiring programs ever' given in any community. Colonel Knox has accepted and j after the votes are counted next November will probably look back to the notification as the only thrill he received from the campaign. If Henry Ford lives another 73 years he’ll see someone invent “something” which will change the lives of people and mode of living! as much as the automobile has. Although the holiday mood and I birthday spirit will prevail next week, many visitors and local people will shop. It’s a good time to advertise your merchandise and attract the crowds to your store. The court house is beautifully i decorated for Centennial week. Flags and bunting grace the front and sides of the building and colored lights run from the tower to the ground. See. it at night. It gives you a thrill. The Rural Resettlment Administration offices are being moved from Champaign, Illinois, to In dianu polls. We are glad to see this organization move into the state. The office will be well served in its new location. Tile old town looks wonderful. Store fronts are painted and dec orated, the ornamental street lights) have been stepped up with 1,000 ■ — 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.

Were ready for visitors and homecoiners. ■ The total corn crop in the country is estimated to be one of the i smallest in 55 years. That may be true throughout the nation, but I not so in this county. The corn ; looks good here and the yield will be near normal, resulting to the j benefit of local farmers. Decatur taxpayers are receiving their money's worth. The cost of local government has been kept within the nominal budget of $29,000 of which only SIB,OOO is raised through taxes. This year's operating expense, despite all the irnj provements made, will be less than ihe amount appropriated. Balanc-: ing a budget and keeping taxes' . down is not new in Decatur. No wonder Republican chairman Hamilton has the wrong idea about the results of the November election. Indiana Republicans told him that everything was honkeyI dorey in the state and that har-! inony prevailed in the party. And that just a month after the party had to elect its second state -hair- 1 man. Indiana Republicans are so divided that in several counties! i two chairmen are claiming to be boss of county organizations. o * * STAR SIGNALS | —BY— OCTAVINE ' For persons who neileve that human destniy is guided by the planet,' ths dally b'-vo«cope Is outlined by I a noted astrologer.

CORNFUTURES GO OVER DOLLAR Corn Futures Go Over Dollar First Time In Six Years Chicago, 31. — dJ.P.) Corn futures sold at u dollar a bushel on the Chicago board of trade today for the first time in si* years. With the corn market still reverserating from the bombshell effects of pessimistic crop reports which rocketed prices up the 4-cent limit yesterday, September corn opened at $1.01% per bushel. It was the first time since August 6, 1930 that any corn futures on the board of trade had sold at better than a dollar. Other grains were al new highs for the year on the Chicago market. Opening prices on the board of trade were 3 to 3% cents higher. Kansas City corn futures were up the full latent limit permitted in a single day’s trading with the September contract quoted at $1.03% a bushel. Unbroken drought throughout the great corn producing middle west emphasized by extremely pessimistic government crop reports generated the feverish buying. General, soaking rains urgently needed to save the crop from almost complete destruction were not in sight. Weather predictions were for higher temperatures. Thousands of acres throughout lowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri were withering under scorching sun. An estimate by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace that the United States corn crop might be the smallest since 1881 touched off the burst of speculative buying which swept prices in the futures market up the limit yesterday for the eighth time this month. The drought scare also extended to the wheat pits where futures were selling above the dollar mark. Prices on the Chicago board of trade were 2% to 3% cents higher
