Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Drunken drivers are safe when caged. Four months from today and the Christmas tree will have lost its charm. Governor Landon is now using the word “cockeyed” and is attempting to go modern. The wheat crop in Kansas is estimated at 147 million dollars this year. And still they say there has not been any farm relief. A headline in a trade magazine reads: "Oklahomans happy as they count ssss instead of bushels; values 92% of ’35.” That tells the story. The cooperation of the housewife is asked in the garbage matter. Don't put glass and tin cans in the garbage pail, for after all I hogs care very little for such a menu. What about a city planning com mission. Do we hear volunteers? No pay, just the glory of contributing unselfish service and helping build a better community and fulfill its public needs. Landon favors putting the tax direct on the consumer by repealing the tax on surplus profits of big business and those concerns which after dividend payments still have a nice nest egg. Among those mentioned to sue- i ceed Secretary of war Dern in the cabinet is Governor Paul McNutt of Indiana. In fact the Indiana governor looms as one of the outstanding figures when the appointment is considered.' Northern Indiana had the oppor-1 tunity to see and hear President Roosevelt when he stopped at Garrett and Gary on his trip westward. He made platform speeches to the crowd and told them of conditions in different parts of the country. The people gave him an attentive ear and an enthusiastic cheer. Portland is conducting its goodwill bond sale, similar to Decatur s, as a means of financing its Centennial celebration next month. Already $3,900 has been pledged and the committee hopes to double the amount. It can be done if united CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers arc 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.

| cooperation is given and the com-' 1 muulty is sold on the idea. Secretary of war George Dern lost his fight for life. A heart ailment claimed the noted statesman ; yesterday. A former governor of' ’ Utah, Dern served with great credit in President Roosevelt's cabinet I and carried on a preparedness poll cy. He was an able and honest pub-; lie servant and his death causes ' sorrow in the nation. Governor Landon might have hit a popular note with corporations and big business in the east when he advocated the repeal of the! surplus tax, which after all affects ! only those who have profits to ■ i spare about dividends declared. : But what about the farmer, laboring man, the small business proprietor and merchant who would be forced to make up the difference | if the tax was repealed? He didn't j stop to think that the east with its banks and big corporations was only a small part of the country. In addition to serving his district well, Congressman Farley, through the committee on banking and currency, also contributed much to the good of the country. Mr. Farley is one of the ranking members on this important committee, which drafted tnnch of the legislation responsible for restoring banks and making them safe for depositors. Speaking at a meeting in Fort Wayne the other evening, Congressman Farley said, “It is not necessary for the voter to take the word of semeone else regarding recovery. All the voter has to do is to look about him in his own community and observe that factories < which were all but closed early in 1933 are now working full blast. That's especially true in Decatur < and Adams county and the voters will not forget Mr. Farley on election day. * , o t • 4 STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who oelleve that hu- ( man destniy is guided by the planet, the daily baroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
