If you haven't had your vacation yet. better be planning it for only three weeks remain until school opens. The first voters are for Roose volt. They see in the president's program the opportunity for youth and the benefits of progressive legislation advocated by him. Department stores are advertising fur coats and fall wearing apparell. The old summer slipped buy m a hurry and before you know il, the furnace will need attention before you start to the office. The Centennial signs at the en- . trances to the city should be turned into WELCOME signs. The boards can be repainted at little expense and serve in extending greetings to visitors. They should remain public property. The Centennial association will nay out and after all bills have i been paid, there probably will be a small balance, which will be, turned over to the Chamber of Commerce. It's a good record and proof that the celebration was not a "skin” game. The construction of several new houses and the remodelling of others is proof that conditions are good in Decatur and that financial assistance is obtainable. More houses mean growth and a better town. In the local cases the houses are being built by individuals for homes. Republican papers seem to receive a lot of joy out of the announcement that Claude Bowers, ambassador to Spain, will not be able to return to America this month. Bowers is the type person who believes in finishing a job and in rendering service. He will stay in Spain as long as he is needed I and perform the duties of his important office. One of the most able and sincere men in Democratic state headquarters is James C. Penman, secretary to Senator Sherman Minton. Mr. Penman, who will be in charge of the speakers’ bureau, is a worker and those who have contacted the senator's office in Washington, know that he can do things. He, is a fine gentleman, gracious and always ready to serve. CHANGE OF 'ADDRESS Subscribers arc requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address bfrom 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.

Gaston Means who has had a p more or less hetic and disgraceful 1 I career, prefers to die rather than be operated on. He is a prisoner in Leavenworth prison, being con- ’’ vlcted of fraud in connection with it the Lindbergh case. His condition ( is critical, but his physical ailment t probably does not cause him as -. much grief as the mental suffering V that his life was a flop. 2 Os the *12,680,000 to be expended ill the 92 counties in the state 0 - next year for old age pensions, de- ) pendent children, child welfare and ’ the blind, only *2961,000 will be 1 y raised in the counties. The bulk conies from the federal and state governments. The federal government will contribute 50 per cent of the entire bill, the state a quart er and the counties one-quarter. On the first of August, the value ' of listed stocks on the New York Stock Exchange had increased 35 billion dollars compared to their value in April, 1933. That increase ■ in wealth alone is more than the ! national debt and indisputable evidence of the confidence which came in the country since President Roosevelt entered the White House. The country hasn't gone to the dogs and don't let anybody I try to make you believe such bunk ... I County, city, township and school board officials are busy these days preparing the budgets for next year. It is not likely that the tax rates will be increased much, although the county's share of the pension bill, financial aid to the orphans and blind, will be larger than a year ago. However other indebtedness is being reduced and every effort will be made to keep the totals within the 1936 estimates and the levies about the same. The budgets must be pub- 1 lished this month and action taken on them by the respective taxing units early in September. —o ♦ ■— Answers To Test Questions | Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed I on Page Two 1.

Carter of Scott'Ulei Ky.. A. W. Cies of Chillicothe, Mo. i and Jack ’Brunton of Decatur, are ; giving us special instruction this week. Col- Carter, father of two of the boys in our school, is a sales manager and real estate auctioneer with a national reputation. Col. Cies, a pure bred livestock 1 man. is giving special work in the

"The Atlantic City convention decided officially that we would I pursue a non-partisan political policy.” he said.
