A'arni products continue at good, r-ski’s and the average farmer is l , looking forward to happier years , than in a decade. The future looks | much brighter than in a long , time. "If Roosevelt is elected, the 11 country is gone to hades," shout j 1 < the G. O. P. orators. Wonder 1 Where wt headed for some four years ago, when Mr. Hoover had, the conductor's job. 11 Senator Glass conferred with ' President Roosevelt today and the! reporters lent anxious ears. It is assured these two great leaders' had plenty to discuss and that, they did so ir an earnest and sincere manner. The Berne Review is conducting a straw vote by running a ballot j iii tile paper mill asking readers' to cast them by mail. So far it, stands Roosevelt 127 and Landon;' 19, which seems to be about the I' right ration for this year. One of the Ringling Bros., cir-l cus camels collapsed from heat in St. Louis, indicating that city is 11 sOmi degrees hotter than the des-. sert, from whence the humped | beast of burden is supposed to have been so comfortable and hap-1: py. __ The question of how to dispose I, of garbage will probably be dis- I posed of some day by installing an .incinerating plant, which could be done if there was some means ' of providing the fuel without too great cost. At present one o? the I difficulties is where to take the garbage and how to dispose of it. Straw votes are being taken, announcemeuts will be made, there i . will be much speaking and red fire and threats and predictions of j dire disasters. Then in November we will all go to the polls and settle it and it's our guess the majority of folks have their minds 1 rather well made up RIGHT NOW. i In several near by counties the educational boards are postponing the opening of school fiotn the Sth to the 15th of September, because of the excessive heat. Os course 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.

■we are all hoping the weather! man is wrung iu his guess that it' will last two or throe weeks yet. I j but we don't know any more than the prognosticators about it. President Roosevelt is touring 1 the west, not us a politician, but us a great humanitarian, trying to work out a plan that will aid a I lot of people who are in distress; and who will 'va’ly suffer during the coming winter, unless steps I are taken now. The president, keeps his eyes on all the people of this nation and when necessary, acts to their benefit. According to the Washington ' ters, labels on food stuffs and a ‘ mittee is divided into two branch- ■ es. One* the straight and old fash- | ioned drive and the other a new streamlined, propaganda mill which plans to use picture shows, minister. labels on food stuffs and a | dozen other avenues to scatter the . hate-Roosevelt idea amo n g the voters. Looks like foolishness. The American Legion has closed one of its largest, most enthusiastic and most colorful conventions at Muncie, where more than 50,000 visitors joined the citizens in a good time. The parade yesterday was the peak and for j hours the boys in kakhi marched past the reviewing stand, shouting, laughing and waving American flags. Governor McNutt carried a gun with the Bloomington outfit, while Raymond Springer marched witli the ex-commanders. It was a big show and every body enjoyed it. The usual hot election' took place and the boys boosted i their favorites with every known means. The 1937 convention goes to Terre Haute. About the biggest waste of money is to advertise in political, religious or lodge pamphlets when promoted by some stranger, who usually doesn't know the data he is printing and after lie gets your money doesn't caie. Gue recently foisted on the good people of this county, purporting to give names of candidates, places of voting and number of votes cast in certain precincts, is the worst garbled sheet we have seen in a long time and ought to forever cure those so inclined from investing in such schemes. The best advertising in the world, time tried and carefully checked by the "jest business men in the country, is the news paper. It costs less, covers morel territory, is more carefully perused and really gets results. Don't waste your money otherwise. -o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ . Q.

During her term as reporter. Miss May has learned much through actual experience and that experience will enable her to further improve the service of the office during the next I four years if she is returned to the position. An ex-officio member of the State Printing Board, Miss May has demonstrated a keen business | ability that has helped to bring a-I bout considerable savings to the state in the costs of printing contracts. Miss May's business ability has not been acquired since Her ' election to public office but is the result of her training as a mem-1 her of the firm of The iMay Shop, Inc., which she and her sister, Miss Katherine May. established at Terre Haute, in 1909.
