The showers cool us off temper- i arily but when old Sol comes out ' agin he apparently tries to make 1 up for lost time. i You can realize just how good ! times are when you consider that ' this is the first campaign year in 1 this century when improvement in 1 general trade, stocks bonds and 1 real estate was apparent. I ’ l— < The New Deal has cost a billion ( dollars a year more than the Old ; Deal, but it has brought business s back so that total business shows , a gain of about ten times the cost. Isn't that pretty fair business? Advertise it and perhaps you can < sell it. Every one else who has I tried that method of getting busi- < ness has been successful. Why , not you? Business is good now in | Decatur and will get better as the ; autumn approaches. __ Many counties which for several ( years past have had big problems ] in meeting deficits are now report- ( ed to have surpluses, a change that , seemed utterly impossible a few ■ years ago and which certainly shows a marked trend towards nor- j mal times. i “The outcome of my own candidacy for the senate is neither important to the nation or me, but I believe it is important that my niany loyal supporters in Michigan. be advised in advance of the primary," says Senator James Couens, a statement from a big, : oroad man. * A ninety-six page edition of the i Vidette Messenger, p u blis he d at 1 Valparaiso, Indiana in observanceP of the one hundredth anniversary of Porter county, is the most com-, plete historical newspaper we have seen in the state. It is filled . throughout with interesting data 1 that should prove valuable in the years and centuries to come. The Prices on farm and city pro- 1 j perties is on the up and up which : js another good sign. There are ■still some good bargains it you keep your eyes open, attend sales or get in touch with real estate * men and you can probably double your money in a short time. More ■*» than that, any investment in Ad- < unis county is safe, if you can finance it so that it doesn't bother you. 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

The Democrats of Indiana will open the campaign next Saturday ■ evening at French Lick when Mr. Townsend will give his keynoter at the mid-summer meeting of Hie ' Indiana Democratic Editorial As- ! sociation and he will have some things to say that will interest the voters. Experienced, able, unafraid. Cliff Townsend is the right man for I the biggest Job in Hoosierdom. Senator Couzens, progressive Republican senator from Michigan, announces his opinion that the best thing this country can do is to reelect Roosevelt and while his name has been proposed for renomination and his opponent is former Governor Brucker, the senator says his election is of little importance. His opinion is shared and is now being voiced by hundreds of other leading manufacturers and business men, regardless of their previous politics. The death of Governor Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota, Farmer-Labor candidate for United States senator and a fighter, in his own style, will perhaps make many changes in results in that northwestern state in the coming election. Olson was a colorful figure, surrounded by a loyal organization, in some respects not unlike that of the late Huey Long of Louisiana and was a winner. What will nappen now will of course depend much on whether or not he was prepared for such an emergency as death and had a second who can fill in his place with the voters. The Farm Journal recently took a straw vote and to the surprise of every one announced the vote between Roosevelt and Landon as close among the farmers. This was difficult to understand for certainly the average farmer is better off and knows it and likewise knows why he is—because of the Roosevelt administration, whi cii has done more for the farmer than any half dozen previous administrations. Now it comes to light that the paper is owned by one Joseph I N. Pew. head of the Sun Oil company and an outspoken foe of Mr. I Roosevelt and his policies, which explains the straw vote from that source, if it needs any explaining. o STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who oelteve that human destniy Is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

PENSION LIST IS DECREASING Great Britain Expects To Pay World War Pensions Until 1955. London - Aug. 25-(UP)— The Brlttah Ministry of Pensions hupes to finish paying for its share of , the cost of the World War by 1955— 11 years after its outbreak. Last year the gresa expenditure of the Ministry of Pensions was $217,1100,000 for war pensions and compensation allowances to 1,006,000 persons. Since 1918 the Ministry hae spent $675,000,00, and more than onefourth of that sum has been used for food, clothing, and education for war orphans, in 1921, the peak year the ministry paid out $300,000,000 in pensions. At the end of the war there were 67 ministry-controlled hospitals for disabled soldiers. Now there are 10 and a few clinics for out-patients. In a few years time." an official at the ministry said, “only $5,000,000 a year should be needed for pensions. And it is animated that the ministry may finish its work by 1955." One of the saddest facts in the figures is that more than 6.000 officers and men are certified insane. More than 10.000 fighting men are undergoing treaetment in hospitals and are not able to leave, although there are still hopes that they will be cured. In 1931, 17,380 hopsital beds were used. Today only 3,200 beds are needed in hospitals controlled by the ministry. Once there were 260.000 war widows receiving pensions. Today the figure is reduced to 134.415, 120,000 of them having remarried.
