The Greenville, South Carolina, Piedmont, pointedly stated, "it we had had no Roosevelt back in the dark days of 1933 we might have litfVe had no presidential campaign to be arguing about now." Another of hotel bed room murders has been cleared with the confession of a Negro who killed a young woman in Chicago. There's just about one thing to do with morons of that kind. Society in general will be better off without them. If the Adams county corn crop is above the average in the country this year, local farmers will be benefitted to a great extent. Cash market prices reached a new peak yesterday and it the crop is near normal, the whole community will reflect the gain. •Adolf Hitler no doubt has chalk od up another reason why he wants t» remain chancellor of Germany. He was singled out by a pretty American woman who planted a kiss on him as he watched the Qiytnpie games and of course that iQdn't make him mad. -.The budget law under which Iwnsas operates and of which much has been said and written, vyts passed when Harry Woodring, •C Democrat, was governor. The ISw makes it illegal to unbalance the budget and living up to the law seems to be the chief recommendation Republicans offer for Ludon's bid to the presidency. Attention of owners of several up town business properties is call ed to the condition of the old cel lar grates in front of their stores In several places the grates are lose, treacherous to walk on and unsafe. At small expense the grates can be removed, the walks repaired and a worthwhile improveiffl nt made. Under the WPA work project the properly owner pays fnr only the material used. Joe Louis didn't stay down long, riiuch to the regret of Jack Sharkey. In less than three rounds the Brown Bomber from Detroit put the knock-out to Sharkey and by his victory is in line to fight the winner of the Braddock Schmeling bout. The young icllow who took Urn count from Schtneling was in good form the other night and didn't offer his chin as a roosting place for Jack's gloved mit. 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.

i It looks like war in Europe. The i Spanish revolt is bringing about many troubles, the latest being the attitude of Mussolini in respect to France's position in the fracas. Mussolini is ready to send up his airplanes over the battle lines. I ( One of these days the whole powd er keg may be set off and most of the world will be thrown into another terrible war. Germany 1 would like to get even with France. Italy wishes to stay in the picture, and has a trained army and the smaller nations of Europe would be drawn. What England would do is a matter of congesture. Governor McNutt has announced that the state will distribute anaverage of SSOO for each teacher to the school units next year. It is estimated that local school units will save more than one million dollars in real estate taxes through the increased distribution of state funds, which will be made from the gross income department. Schools now receive $425 for each teacher, the collection of taxes being sufficient to make possible the extra help to the local communities. The added amounts will be taken in consideration in compiling the budgets in the townships and school subdivisions for next year. It is wise and along good business for the council to take into consideration the street repair program for next year by increasing the appropriation for material, so the city can match and take advantage of the WPA work relief ; projects. The street material fund will be increased to $2,900 and it | will take all that to repair and rebuild many of the streets. The I work can be done cheaper now than any time in history and in addition to getting good value, etn-i ployment will be provided a numher of men. This year a program ' has been carried in keeping with finances and many streets had to | . be eliminated because of the lack of funds. With an increase of i about $l,lOO next year, the repairs can be made and more help can | be expected from the WPA. A good town must have good streets and maintain them. -—e —— STAR SIGNALS -BY- I OCTAVINE 1 For persons who relieve that human destniy Is guided by the planet, the daily h'-roscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

a High above the winding Ohio| and overlooking the roofs of Madison. Clifty Falls state park has an unusual combination of attractions for the visitor, only two of which are pictured above — lite Poplar Grove Shelter House and the falls in Clifty Creek. This is one of. Indiana's most popular state parks,! drawing a high percentage of its attendance from the neighboring states, Ohio and Kentucky. With one entrance on Road 56. just west of Madison and one from Road 107, north of the city, the park is easily accessible over' improved, modern highways from any section of the state. A part of the charm of a trip to Clifty. I Falls is the scenic beauty of the jaudscape tn this, one of the firstsettled sections of Indiana. The park was established in 1920 and

Three Millionth Ford Truck Is Completed The 3.000.000th truck built by the Ford Motor Company, a V-8 jl% ton panel unit, will pass | through Indiana this week (Aug. i 21-23) enroute to the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas, Al Schmitt, local dealer stated. The Ford V-8 truck, which marks ’ the building by Ford of more than one-third of all the trucks turned I out by the automobile industry in ; its history, will be exhibited in Indianapolis and in numerous other

| has an area of 617,acres. In Inoianals unglaciated area the park has many deep, wooded, ra- ! vines and lofty ridges which give all the atmosphere of a mountainous country. From lookout points on the hills the visitor gets gllmps- ! es of the river and occasionally of ' a smoke-plumed steamboat. The distant hills of Kentucky and at night the lights of scattered dwelli ings make a picture long to be ' remembered. Here the visitor finds exceptional provisin for his outing. The 1 Poplar Grove shelter, shown above, is located in one of the attractive • picnic areas which have outdoor j ovens a. ’ firewood for cooking, a' envenient supply of pure water, ’ sanitary facilities and tables and benches for scores ot groups. The . ; camping area where the visitor

cities along the route. When it reaches Dallas, the truck will be placed on exhibit in the Ford ex ' position building at the Texas Centennial. The first Ford truck was built Iby the company in 1917. It was a lone-ton model, powered with the .! famous Model T engine. Since I then 3.000.000 Ford trucks and I commercial cars have rolled off the ' assembly lines—the Model T and j Model TT until 1928, the Model A i unit 1932, and the Ford V-8 since that time. —o !“01d Timers” Foresee Hard Winter Ahead B dford.

The park takes Its name from the falls in Clifty Creek. •This stream has cut deep Thto the rock and geologists say that at one time the falls were on the banks of the Ohio river. From vantage points along the canyon and from the boulder-strewn floor, visitors discover a variety of striking views of the falls. On the wooded hillsides, particularly beautiful when touched with autumn frosts, are many species of ■ trees and plants among which birds and wildlife find sanctuary A nature guide aids in the study of birds and plants, and points out ■ the many places ot interest.

MRS. TRIBBLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE,ONE)., i oppressive tuxes are levied upon every article of common use. Coffee Is 70 cents a pound. A rent jtax of 15 per cent is paid every | three months. The peasant class also accuse s the churches of contributing to the economic distress of the country because of their wealth. Since the revolution, nearly every church in the country has been razed by fires or bombs. Those which could not be burned because ot their stone structure have been stripped jof every article of wealth. "Poor i funds owned by the church, but which have never been distributed ' to the poor, have been consented. The opponents of the govern inent are the fascists and the mon- | archists. First Casualty Last May, Mrs, Tribble saw her ; first casualty of the war, a man shot through the temple and lying lon the pavement. More than a month ago the fighting became general. At one time she visited a friend who lived on a second floor 1 apartment. Fascists lived on the first and third floors. Communists attacked the house and several shots were fired througli her friend s windows. They escaped I capture when they proved their ■ I American citizenship. i At another time a friend of hers ! forgot the government's order iban- j ! ning the drawing of shades across windows, a rule made necessary because of sniping. No sooner had her friend drawn the blinds than ! . a volley of bullets were tired through the window by CommonI ists. At another time Mrs. Tribble i witnessed air bombers circle the I city while blowing up the government's military academy. All Spanish boys are required to attend at • least one year in a military school. The Madrid school also contained munitions. For some reason the government bombed the institution which housed 2,500 boys. Reports differed as to whether 500 or 1,000 boys escaped with their lives. Pro--1 tests were made by many as a large per cent of the boys in the academy belonged to the loyal i party. A month ago Mrs. Tribble was i moved into the United States embassy. which was being managed I by Eric ('. Wendelin, third secretary to Claude Bowers, ambassador to Spain. Ambassador Bowers and his first ami second secretaries were taking their vacations at ( that time. Mrs. Tribble complimented Secretary Wendelin on his capable handling of the difficult situation. Slept On Floor Sufficient food had been stored J in the embassy to feed the 174 persons then present. However, it was necessary to purchase mati tresses. Mrs. Tribble, in common , with the others, slept on the floor. American women brought their i own maids and cooks. Her husband was moved into the ' I. T. & T. building, Madrid's only 1 skyscraper. He both worked and slept there. This company furn- > ished the armored trucks, used by i Mrs. Tribble in her trips from her i

apartment to the embassy. She said that It was reported | that during one night of her stay i there several shots were fired at the embassy. She could not veri-1 fy the statement. The American embassy is one of the finest of the old palaces in Madrid. It is leased to the Ant ! erican government by a member of the Spanish nobility for almost no rent. As long as the American flag is flying over the building, it is safe from confiscation by gov-; ■ernment Communists, Who have taken possession of most ot the 'other palaces. As the foriegners were unable to carry many belongings out of the country, a large part of th, Tribble's clothing was left in their japartment. The government turn-1 ished posters for the front and | back doors, stating that the apartment was leased to Americans and that its contents should not be molested. Train Guarded The Tribbles left Spain three : weeks ago by train over the only open railroad, which leads to Valencia on the sea coast. The Span- ■
