The cool wave will make you forget the hot weather and wonder what it is going to be in three or four months from now. The recent rains have changed , the predictions from a half corn crop to three-‘’Htrths and that meaps a goob many dollars to Ad- , ants county. The traffic problem is still a long ways from being settled in this city, as you can well judge, by looking around for a place to park on Saturday evenings. Autumn starts in two weeks and it's time to get ready. Read the advertisements in the editions of this week and start getting ready for school ami fall activities. Speak kindly of the other fellow, 1 even if he is your competitor and remember that he has his troubles, too. Cooperation is the greatest thing for any community and there is no reason why we shouldn't have it. After all the third party movement and that of the fourth, fifth, sixth and other parties, will cut but little figure in the coming election. The fight is. as usual, between the two old leading parties and that is getting pretty well settled for the Democrats. If you will pass up the political' and editorial pages of the average Republican newspaper and study the financial page, you ought to be better prepared to make up your mind as to how you will vote in November. This country is going along pretty good right now. Better let the old boat sail. Muncie is having a great time these few days, the occasion being the state convention of the American Legion of Indiana, Men and i women of that and auxiliary organizations have gathered there for a good time and are having it. The high peak was today's parade and the city had the largest crowd in its history, according to reports. If there is any thing wrong with the Wl’A operations at Bloomington, Indiana. as charged by the G. O. I’, national committee, it of course should be corrected immedCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers arc requested to Rive old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur K. 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.

iutdy and will be. However, the • mayor of that city, a Republican and his city engineer, stoutly deny the allegations. In any organization the size of the Wl’A, there are sure to be slip-ups, and all that ■ can be done is to correct them as they are reported. A laboratory at the soya bean factory will mean much in the future for this group of men will work day after day to discover new uses for soybean oil and meal. As these ne w by products are worked out, the company will no doubt develop the manufacture as it proves profitable and the industry will eventually be one of the Irgest in America. More power to them. A tax school will be held here i September Ist, with experts in charge and in attendance to dis-1 cuss with those interested, the way ' to secure or retain a low tax rate., The taxes in this country are low and all efforts are constantly being made to keep them that way, but the officials are glad to have constructive suggestions that are intended to assist them in arriving I at the lowest tax cost compatible with good government. Visitors to California, recently returned, say that the state of Mr. j Hoover will give Roosevelt a 400.000 majority. All through the west, David Lawrence has found that same trend and he will also discover through the middle west that people are not going to take any chances on a change at this time, but he may not find them as out- : spoken as they are out in the coun-' try where they call "a spade a spade.” Governor Landon will meet the (Other governors to discuss with the president ot the United States what can be done about the drouth situation in the west and how the 1 people who have suffered can be I best cared for. Well why not? He certainly wishes the "folks in the Sunflower state to be looked after as well as those of the sister' states and cooperation with the federal authorities is perhaps the only way to get it. so he is only doing a job required of him. o ♦ ♦ STAR SIGNALS | -BY- | OCTAVINE 1 For persons who Believe that hu-l rnau destniy Is guided by the planet, the daily boroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

CHANGES MADE IN HOAD LAWS New Regulations Permit Passing On Downgrade Where Vision Is Good Indianapolis. Aug. 24 I Special I Two changes in the making of yellow lines on Indiana highways to designate "no passing zones" at curves and grades where sight distance is limited, have been authorized by the State Highway Com mission. James 1). Adams, chairman, reported today. On grades where sight distance ahead from the crest Is more than a thousand feet, passing on the downgrade will be permitted. At such points the yellow line at the right of the center stripe will be carried just over the crest of the i grade. Thus, if one vehicle is trailing a slower moving one and after reaching the crest of the grade finds the way ahead is clear, passI ing the slower moving vehicle will be permissible. Under the former marking, where the parallel yellow lines were carried completely over the grade, a vehicle was required to remain in the right hand lane until the marking had been completely cleared. The Second change in the safety marking is at curves. At first It was planned to mark curves of three degrees or more hut under the revised regulations all curves where sight distance ahead is less than a thosuand feet, will be marked with the parallel yellow lines designating "no-passing zones.” Application of the yellow lines j on curves and grades is in progress in each of the six state high-:

Signs calling | motorists' attention to the purpose |of the marking and carrying the legend, “Do Not Cross Yellow Line" will be erected at sufficient intervals to call the motorist's attention to these safety zones. Use of the yellow lines to designate “no-passing zones" on the state highways is another of the steps inaugurated by the State Highway Commission to create increased motoring safety. By restricting passing on grades and curves where sight distance ahead is limited, the Highway Commission hopes to eliminate headon ' collisions and side swipes at these points. Such accidents have taken a heavy toll of life and property in past years. o Piano Is 100 Years Old Mexico, Mo., <U.R> — A piano, be- [ : lievd to be more than 100 years I
