It must be catching. Adams county farmers will help elect Cliff Townsend governor, because he knqws the rural viewpoint and understands their problems. President Roosevelt inspected the Pennsylvania flood area, gained first hand information about conditions and will no doubt recommend legislation to correct the wanton waste from floods. President Roosevelt is still the great leader in this country and each day the people appreciate more what he has done to restore confidence in g o v e r n m ent and bring about better conditions. The old summer is being put away and fall activities are getting under way. It will be a drive for business and to keep up sales, newspaper advertising will help you do the job and bring results.; The next property valuation in I Adams county, for taxation purposes, is $22,563,996, an increase of about a half million over the last year. The upward trend continues. The 37 graduates of the Reppert ; Auction school have departed for their homes and we hope will carry with them fond recollections of their stay here and voice praise -for the friendly city. The rain was great and untold good was brought by the shower. Crops in this section of the state , are much better than in the south and west and the Friday shower will improve the outlook for a good yield. Press reports state that King Edward of England is to be mar-' ried, but as yet he hasn’t decided which daughter of the king of Greece he will marry. Guess a king has that right of choice and indecision. A city planning commission, composed of civic minded persons interested in the growth and well being of the town and its people, could help a lot in rounding out a CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are request-1 ed 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.

planned program tor the next 10 p years. Colonel Bill Donavan who journeyed from the east to Kansas to ’• tell Governor Landon that New t ! York state would be in the Lan-don-Knox column next November t is the same astute politician who . , claimed his own election as govert nor in 1932. The Democrats carried the state by 400,000. i Imagine how the bridegroom felt * who complained to his bride that ( i"Your cooking doesn't taste like > mother’s used to” and received the 1 pert reply, "It should, because I'm using the same kitchen equipment she put in this house 30 years ago.” An advertising agency for modern kitchen equipment evidently penned that one. Up to July of this year, one of the leading oil companies distributed over seven million road maps. The Farmers Guide, editorially remarks; “A lot of map. If they were unfolded and laid end to end they would reach 2,983 miles and cover the distance from New York to Los Angeles. They would fill eight freight cars and would tip ’ the scales at 205 tons The i exact number of miles is not important. but it is • important to know that times have improved to such an extent that about twice as many vacationists can afford to travel this year.” Although Decatur has many public improvements, parks, well lighted streets and a city hall, there ■ are and will continue to be other I needs which it will require. The recreational centers might be enlarged and extended, more houses built, the river improved, a new highway built along the bank, ade- < quate storm sewers, a community , I center, a school house or two con-, structed. all in the interest of the 1 public and to take care of normal . grow th. Give some thought to these '■ matters and assist public officials ' in formulating a 10 year program f for the benefit of the town. o ► « STAR SIGNALS -BYOCTAVINE For persons who oeitev. ttMfct human destniy Is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
