It's been a big birthday party, most of us will be tired out when it s over, but sweet memories will linger for years over the enthusiastic way Decatur celebrated its birthday. The beautifully decorated floats gave the crowd a thrill. They added spice to the parade and showed visitors that Decatur had many progressive and public-spirited industries and stores. Well miss the beautifully lighted and decorated streets next week. The holiday spirit runs high when decorative lights and flags and bunting go up and the decorations certainly added to the enthusiasm of Centennial week. If progress has been made in the last 100 years, it is certain that greater headway should be made in the next 50 years. The foundation is here, solidly built and the present day youth should build to finer and better accomplishments. People like to be entertained and jningle with friends. The Centennial party not only furnished Ute program, but the opportunity for friends and former residents to come back home and enjoy the friendship of people they wanted to see. A visit to the horse and cattle shows will convince you that Adams county farmers have some of, the finest herds in the country. 1-ong noted for good horse flesh, the colts and mares in the local show are a credit to the county. The cattle is high grade and thousands of visitors have been attracted to the tents. The streets have been kept as clean as was humanly possible to do. The street cleaning crews started out early every morning and cleared the midway area of tons of paper, cartons and litter. Even a great celebration and immense crowds do not lessen the desire to keep the town in good housekeeping order and city employes are to be commended on their work. 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.

The program this afternoon will , long be remembered. The present and coming generations will know that in Decatur's celebration of its Centennial, those of today didn't ’ forget the noble men und women t who contributed the first effort in building this community. The tab t let to the pioneer was dedicated by . i Governor McNutt and the event was worthy of the state recognition, which the visit and address lof the chief executive accorded, j Decatur's importance in the manufacturing field is clearly shown in the display ot the local works of the General Electric company. On a table in the exhibit tent is the five millionth motor produced in the Decatur factory. That's something. The motor was produced on July 28 of this year. The 1 first motor was produced here, July 20, 1920 and since that time this model plant lias provided millions of hours of employment in the manufacture of five million motors. Sounds more Detroit every day, except that here we produce washing machine motors instead of automobiles. Decatur is proud of the industry and hopes to see i the ten millionth motor turned outl in a few years. o * STAR SIGNALS —BY— | OCTAVI NE For persons who oelleve mat human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
