During this kind of weather, a' place that might attract more or less attention, is the base of an abandoned stone quarry at Bedford. Workers have found the old quarry lined with ice and hunks ranging from 200 to 6<H) pounds have been mined. The United States will maintain• strict neutrality in regards to the civil war in Spain. That policy is in line with the prevailing sentiment of the American people. We do not want to get mixed up in the mess and the hands off |K>licy is the best to follow. Republicans are already finding fault with John I). Hamilton, their 1 national chairman. Hamilton has’ fallen down in getting the organization together and many of the, old line members don't like the brand of speeches he makes. In the meantime Landon isn't heard from and many have forgotten that he ever was nominated. Take a trip in and around Decatur and see the building activity underway. Among the larger projects are the new storage buildings at the Central Soya Company, the remodeling of the Zion Lutheran church and the city light and power plant addition. Many men are on the job and the improvements are being completed as rapidly as possible. After all the dirty linens have been washed in the Mary Astor child custody case, she and her former husband, Dr. Thorpe have agreed to settle the matter out of court. They should have spared themselves the disgrace heaped , upon their heads as a result of the slimy testimony and the country would have been better off had they deckled to keep their personal affairs from the public eye.* Added to the drought in the west and southwest have been the forest tires, causing immense damage to forests and other property. WPA workers and Hie CCC boys were called into service and the most serious cases have Iteen brought miller control. Each year thousands of dollars of property is de-‘ st t oyed by forest fires, but the government is fast conquering the 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 IL R. 1 to Decatur IL R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two.

flames and keeping down the ; spread over wide territory. In compiling the city budget fori next year consideration is being given to the street repair program. It is the intention to include in .the appropriation for material asi much as can be raised without in-1 creasing the tax levy. It is hoped that grants from the VVPA will make it iiossible to carry on a worth while program, put most of • the streets in good repair and at. a saving to the taxpayers. The way industry is expanding ' in Decatur, the installation of the I new 2.000 KWH turbine at the City Light and Power Plant will not!' come any too soon. The demand for electric current is increasing' daily and future expansion iu local! industry will absorb much of the! production. The plant this year will turn out at least 7.500.000 killowatts and it would not be surpris- . ing to see this boosted to 10 million killowatts in another year. Two years ago production was around five million killowatts. Our past experiences with midsummer droughts has been that ' they are usually followed by wet ; falls but there is nothing to assure | us that will be the case in 1936. I And granted we do have a rainy fall, many of the drought states will be compelled to either ship in | large amounts of roughage or ship out large numbers of livestock. Al-1 though Illinois and Indiana farm ! ers may have enough for their own! needs, there is more than a possibility they will be called upon to! supply the less fortunate states! with a considerable tonnage of! roughage as well as corn.—Prairie! f Farmer. 0 , ►_ * i Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Cigar Ashes Cold and silver articlos can be ■ cleaned by dipping a wet cloth iu gar ashes and scoruring. t Care of Dog When the dog continue*! to -.cratch. after fleas are eliminated, give him a dog laxative at proper intervale, which will thin his blood.

G.O.P. URGES REGISTRATION H oosier Republicans Launch Drive To Register Voters Indianapolis, Aug. 13 — (U.R) - Warned by John D. M. Hamilton, national party chairman, and ('<>l. Frank Knox, vice presidential nominee, that "we must get out tlie vote," Hoosier Republicans were launched today in a vigorous drive to register all voters. An Injunction suit accusing Glenn B. Ralston. Marion county clerk, of hindering registration of Republican voters, was filed in Marion circuit court here 1n connection with the program. Ralston is a Democrat. At the same timt. impeachment proceedings have been attempted against James G. Canary, Republican, Martin county clerk, for alleged refusal to register William O. Swinney and Robert Black, residents of the resettlement camp Ht Ixiogootee. Judge Fra.nk E. Gilkison of Martin-Daviess circuit court, a Republican, refused to entertain the action against Canary unless presented by Prosecutor Theodore P. Meade. Ralph A. Seial. Loogootee, and Fabian Gwin. iShoals, attorneys who made the accusation, turned I their evidence over to the prosej cutor. The suit against Ralston charged him with failure to name deputy registration clerks with an equal division among Republicans and Democrats as provided by the 1333 permanent voters registration law. The law reads — "The clerk shall appoint as many deputy registration officers for the county as may be necessary—selected, as nearly as practicable, in equal numbers, from the two political parties which cast the highest and second hight est vote for secretary of state in the general election last preceding.” ’ Frederick E. Schortemeier. : county G. O. P. chairman, said he ■ asked Ralston to appoint Republicaui registration deputies but was ,- turned down. The suit also challenged regia- ■ 1 tration of voters outside the I s clerk's office by deputy clerks now | employed and sought to prevent i Ralston from collecting registration fees. The registration Jaw permits the county clerk to collect four cents for each registration made in the office. The collection is made from county funds. o MOVIE ACTRESS (CONTllfy.jjP-AGK_ ONE> so ft will never be re-opened." "Contrary to rumors, there has been no pressure exerted upon me by motion picture interests to end I the case,” Judge Knight said. ' Any 'high pressuring' was placed 1

I upon the principals involved, uol the court." MM Astor and Dr. Thorpe I agreed finally on the future of I their child late yesterday after two days of bickering and con ferencea between their attorneys that centered mostly around one point—the disposition of Miss As tor's diary, in which, in addition to processing her love for Kaul man, she expressed her admiration for Dr. Thorite and confessed his rightness in many of their disagreements. Muss Aatoi did not wish the diary to remain in her former husband’s hands, lest it be used against her again Dr. Thorpe wanted to keep it lest Miss Astoi attempt again to obtain full custody of Marilyn. The solution finallv was solved by a secret disposition that will prevent the fears of either party coming true. ••ft is part of the agreement." Anderson said, "that no one, save the litigants, their uounsel. and the court ever will know what becomes of the diary. It will always remain a mystery. ’ The agreement drawn up by the lawyers and approved byDouglas L. Edmonds, presiding judge of the Los Angeles superior court, was underatood to provide that Marilyn will be in her mother's custody during the school months, and that during all vaca tions. with the exception of Christmas. she will be in her father's charge. The parents will share the child during the Christmas holidays. MUNCIE PLANS (CONTINUED FROM yAiy OSBI, manship. Candidates for state chaplain include father Moorman. Whiting, the Rev.
