It was a perfect rain, aiding the beets- and corn and breaking the excessive heat. A 24 hour similar shower would still be welcome. Each day the country realizes more that Governor Landon lacks the leadership necessary to continue the recovery program. In two years $26,000,000 was spent on relief in Kansas, of which the state put up only sl,090,0V0, and still some of the troys out there wonder why federal ex-| penses have increased. Rethll independent stores in Indiana showed an Increase of 21 per I cent 1n July this year, compared with a year ago. Business is good , in Indiana and the fall season promises to be one of the best in history. For.“a start, the proposed total' tax rate applying to all property in the*city of Decatur for 1937 is not bad. The rates now total $2.85 | on the SIOO, or only four cents more than that paid this year. Chances are the final rate will be; as low or lower than the 1936 [ levy. — It appears that the mother of the Chicago girl who picked up and got married had her bluff called.( The over indulgent mother who always gave her daughter all the rope she wanted under the guise i of “do as they please," now wants her marriage annulled. The shoe pinches it seems. The * Dubuque, lowa, TelegraphHerald. comments that “The Chi-J (ago Tribune underrates the intelligence* of its own party by trying to scare Republicans with witch stories. They know that Mt. Roosevelt is not wrecking the country. They cannot- help but see that the country has vastly improved since 1933.” If what they said about King Alfonso when he ditched his crown and ran away from Spain three years ago was true, he is foolish to monkey with the revolution in that country. At the time of his l abdication he was reported to be' worth about 30 million dollars and with that nest egg what would he I CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

i want with a king's job. Our advice would be that he enjoy life on the I side lines. He hasn't worked very | hard lately. One of the business and civic leaders in the state, Marcus 8. Sonntag of Evansville, died yesterday at the age of 77. He was (chairman of the World War memorial commission and was well and favorably known throughout Hoos ierdom. Born in Evnnsvllle and [ living there all his life, he wasj deeply interested in his home town ! and contributed both time and energy in promoting its progress Evidently Governor Landon did not make much of an impression on young Teddy Roosevelt. At i least the latter's statement follow-1 ing his conlerence with the presidential nominee is different than that put out by the republican ’ headquarters. Teddy was quoted as saying that Landon is the truest kind of a liberal. The country has been fed with his conservatism. The truth is. young Roosevelt does, not care much for Landon and the platform. In compiling the budgets and' tax rates it is interesting to note j the changes from year to year. I Several years ago, before the state i gas tax was distributed among the I counties, a levy of 25 cents on the ! SIOO was made for gravel road re- i pairs. Now no levy is made, the I county receiving about $95,000 a year from the state tax with which to maintain the 750 miles of gravel roads. But new taxes and causes come in. Next year a levy of 14 ■ cents on the SIOO will be necesI sary to carry on the social secur- . ity program and welfare work, including old age pensions. We nev-i er catch up in this country and probably never will. Adam# county or any of its townsliips and governmental units 1 have not missed a bond or interest payment all during the depression , and the tax delinquent periods. The gravel road bonds, together with interest have been paid evi ery year and the county bonds i have also been liquidated on the due date. Although gravel road bonds have not been issued since 1932, the 12 townships still owe a neat sum and in 1937 will pay off ($51,152.60 in principal and $6,608.- | 12 in interest. Levies are now "being made for next year, the rates ; being lower than a year ago. In a few years the slate will be washed clean and the townships will be debt free. The county government has only two bond issues against it, those for the hospital and the Scheuinan bridge. ——o ♦ STAR SIGNALS —BY—- — OCTAVINE 1 lor persons who Relieve that human destniy Is guided by the placet, the daily baroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Variety Marks Autumn Hats pc jJB " ?iew ,aH coat —— ~* Miss Russell models • — — Two new hats , . . A variety of even more unusual shapes show the style trend in nats for fall but there are models for all types of women, fashion experts sav The main trick in looking smart in the new creations, they say. is knowing exactly the right angle to wear them.

The one is a burgundy felt with a trick manipulation of the crown and a curled quill thrust tnrough the narrow grosgrain band.

A triple quill of red. green and yellow adds a gay touch* At the right is one of the new wide-shouldered coats favored for autumn.
