It was a wonderful week and every one here is proud of the thousands of compliments passed. Raymond Springer has accepted the Republican nomination for governor as every one has suspected he would since the state convention. We are starting on our second cenfury with the outlook for a substantial growth. It s up to every one-t« help continue this as a fine place-in which to live. Itotr't think that because we are sitting on top of the earth that we can go forward without effort. It always requires that and every honest to goodness booster should keep on working. We are still receiving letters from former residents here, regretting they could not return for the Celebration. We art! sorry tfTey couldn't come and assure them they missed a mighty fine time. What's the matter with Indiana?' She's alright and is attracting the attention of government leaders in many states who want to knowhow it is being done here. That's sure proof of a well managed administration. It seems like a different town with the stands and swings and exhibits and free acts gone. We also miss the announcements from the court house tower which was one of the splendid parts of the Centennial week. The city force did a good job ( of cleaning up after the big week and every one- appreciated the speed and the completness of the task. In every way the city and county officials, as well as the hundreds of committeemen, did a fine work. The crowd remained until midnight Saturday and seemed loath to leave, realizing it was the end of a great week of delightful events. They sang and laughed and said reluctant goodbye and it will be a hundred years until we can celebrate another Centennial. More than three thousand enthusiastic young Democrats attendCHANGE 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 tyecatur 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.

Sen- ' ator VanNuys and other leaders it also participated. The final chapter in the career r of Congressman Zioncheck was it 1 written when he leaped from the ' window of his fifth story office in 2 Seattle. No doubt his mind had 0 been effected for months, due perhaps to fast living, and efforts 5 0 were being made to send him to a 6 sanitarium. He was brilliant and JJ able until some quirk of his mind sent him off on a wild series of : acts that could only be done by an insane person. Merchants should take advant age of the favorable publicity given tliis city by the Centennial. - 1 Seldom if ever has a city of this '■ size received so many fine compliments. but unless we carry on, these are of no particular avail. , This is a good town and thousands t of people trade here, many coming miles to do so.

I INDIANA LEADS: "Indiana is threatening to be-' I I come the almost perfect state in the eyes of tax officials. First it was the Indiana plan of tax reform, and now conies the state-: ment of Indiana tax officials that j 99 per cent of that state's property tax of $91,500,006 will be collected this year. In other words, Indiana 1 will have a tax delinquency of only about 1 per ment of its total levy. “Just why Indiana should have so much better luck than Minnesota in collecting its taxes might well be worth investigating . . . I Two reasons are being given for I Indiana's novel position among the 1 states. The income of property' II I owners have increased and the ' property tax rate which they have to pay has been reduced. "It is hardly likely that income i from property has increased more rapidly in Indiana than it has in I other neighboring states. While this undoubtedly is a factor in reducing tax delinquency, an increase in the income from property alone cannot explain Indiana's superior ability to collect its tax levy. Property incomes in other states have; risen in the past year without having the same effect on tax delinquency as that experienced in Indiana. "For the full explanation of Indiana's case one must look to the second reason, namely, that its lax rate on property lias been reduced A Lower tax rate on property has meaait an increased percentage of paid up property taxes States that have the same prob- ' lem which Indiana had might well ‘ try this method of solving it.”— Minneapolis Tribune. i! o • STAR SIGNALS , -BYOCTAVI NE For persons -who oetleve that huI man destniy is guided by the planet, the daily boroscope is outlined by I a noted astrologer.
