An occasional shower now would assure a great crop of corn, beets and beans in this county and make it really a great year in our history. Now that every one knows he has been nominated, the people will want to know what they are going to do about it if they are elected. Os course its warm, that's norcome to visit us this week but we warn them not to talk politics. Every one is busy with other and more important affairs. We are celebrating our first one hundred years. Carl Pumphrey says he wouldn't take a lot for the experiences he has had the past few mouths as chairman of the general committee of the Centennial but he would think seriously before tackling it again. John J. Raskob, former Democratic national committeeman and promnient in the financial world, is seriously ill from an infection of his leg. He was rushed to his home in New York from the Pacific coast and every effort is being made to save his life. Os course its warm, thats normal for the first week of August and has its argument. You don't need to dress up and you can enjoy the various sweet meats for this time of year It only comes once a year and even if you arc a little uncomfortable part of the time, don't make too much fuss about it. Decatur is far too good a town not to have mail collected in the evening or during the night and efforts now being made along that line should be recognized. It is often very important to get mail out in the night and whatever is necessary to bring that about, certainly should be done. Estimates of the crowds here vary and will continue to do so. If there is any accurate way to measure the number of visitors, we haven't caught on to it. Wish we could tell you exactly each day 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 but your guess is as good as ours, i ’ All we know is that its immense and that every one seems to bej enjoying the Centennial. Major Bowes gave Decatur's Cen-1 leimiul u tine boost in his Sunday i evening entertainment and the newspapers of New York City, , Washington. D. C., and numerous leaders of the government compll- 1 1 emitted the city and this paper on the occasion and the special edition, all of which we are very i grateful for because it is excellent publicity for the best town in the middle west. Are you enjoying the Centennial? ' I It's here tor you. If you are interlested in exhibits, they are wonder-' fill, if you like to ride, take your choice, if you want thrillers, they I are here, if you want to visit you I can start early and remain late,, if you want to see relics, historical ' pictures or Interesting souvenirs, j | look in the windows. If there has been a thing left out, we don’t : know what it is. We hope that none of you get I so excited with the fun of the I week that you forget the powerful . and wonderful sermons of last Sunday. Through it al) came the thought that this is a favored com-| inunity because of its God-fearing people, who worshipped God and | taught their children to do so. A | back to the church movement would certainly be a great harvest as a result of this Centennial cele- ' bration, if it can be brought about. Don Roberts, 69, of Terre Haute, ' a political character of southern Indiana, who has served two terms , in prison and who was for a score of years before the public in some , way or another, died Sunday after , a short illness with heart trouble. His career was colorful and excit-i ing. He served as mayor of Terre j ' Haute until the law caught up with him and recently he was con- : victed of embezzlement of funds belonging to an oil company he represented. Governor McNutt is after those , who drive carelessly and should be supported by every citizen in , the state. He has adopted a five-; l>oint program which he advocates as means of lessening the accidents over the state. It includes enforce- 1 ment of regulations against pass-1 j ing on curves or hills where vis-1 I ion is not sufficient to insure safe i driving; end the offense of failure to stop at preferential highways or stop signs; stop speeding through unincorporated towns; enforcement of laws governing improper lights and rigid enforcement of the I law concerning operating a motor vehicle while under the influence ■ of liquor. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ — 41 1.
