No merchant can afford to disregard the necessity for advertising in his local newspaper. Every successful merchant has used it aud found it profitable. Labor Day is over and its time to go to work. With schools going, court in session and the other activities under way, we can proceed with plans for the autumn. During the first half of last year the Standard Oil Company of Indiana' earned 313,191,166, this year for the same months, $22,015,537. Some one must be "fumbling with recovery.” The best way to be careful in driving is to keep some speed in reverse. Because your car will travel eighty is no reason why you should make it do it. Watch the curves and hills. New sidewalks over the city add I to the attractiveess of the street and will prove convenient when! the bad weather starts. It pays to keep the city looking dean and bright and prosperous. Don't waste your money on card! schemes or lake methods of advertising. Concert that same amount to your newspaper and you will profit a hundred times in the result. Why be foolish? Mr. Hoover is on his way east to assist Mr. Landon. Poor Alt' I dares not say so, but he knows the' more the sage of Palo Alto talks, ’ the worse its going to be for him. Who the dickens wants to go back; to Hoover theories? Mrs. Markham is now ready for; the chewing gum. tooth pasta and other marksmen who wish her! name for their testimonials. She flew across the Atlantic from east to west, quite a feat even now and reached New York, chewing her gum aud with an "America, its jolly grand.” Next comes Thanksgiving Day, I ut in the meantime the election. By the way, are you properly registered? That’s very important for otherwise you won't be permitted to vote on November 3rd and of course you wish to vote either your approval or disapproval of the progress made the past four years. 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,lent. ii.ml Governor Townsend is i p again demonstrating his business • ability by putting on a successful ; state fair and one that will again show a profit. Doing that once might be un accident but since this it is the third consecutive year, it indicates some real ability and Cliff I has it. You may rest assured that •. as governor he will give the best 1 service to the Hoosier people at i the lowest cost. O' If the Republicans could elect ? every candidate for United States j senator, they would still lack two 5 of having a majority, even giving j them such progressives as Couxens of Michigan. Os course they can't; come close to that for about fifteen of the Democratie candidates are; ias good as elected now. The facts are admitted that if the Republi- ■ cans make a gain of two to four seats they will be doing well. • Think what tliat means, if Landon 1 could slip through. His hands would be utterly tied and there . would be nothing but jangling in - Washington for four years. President Roosevelt is fighting I for you. In his Sunday night radio address he appealed to industry to use the government employment ■ service so that millions of men can ~ be taken from relief and given permanent jobs in private Indus-1 I try. He also asserted that the 1 ' government proposes to “conserve ■ soil, water and life," which is an interest rarely manifested by presi 1 dents of this or any other country. Another four years of Roosevelt | will really place the country on a : happy, prosperous and economical-I ly sound base and the people will not be fooled into a change at : this time. — o Answers To Test j Questions | Below are the answers to the ' Test Questions printed on Page Two | < 1.

Sept 9 — RJ.PJ — A net reduction of $17,969,731 in the assessed valuation of public and municipal utilities and railroads operating in Indiana in 1936 as compared to 1935 was shown today in a recapitulation by the state tax board. Total assessed valuation of the 10 classifications of utilities for 1936 was $636,565,484, as compared to $654,531,945 in 1935. The gross reduction in assessments was $23,409,679 but the state tax board made increases totaling $5,442,948. lowering the per cent ; of net reductions to 2.75. Greatest reductions were allowed steam railroads, which had their 1935 assessment of $318,485.094 cut by $17,633,320. Next greatest was the $5,037,898 reduction in the assessed valuation of public utilities, lowering the 1936 total to $208,174,987. All steam railroads except the. ' Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Monon j and Wabash were granted 5 per cent reductions and abandoned improvements accounted for a furth er .54 per cent reduction.

Assessed valuation of electric railroads in the state was reduced 4.36 per cent from $6,111,248 in 1935 to $5,844,971 in 1936. In 1919 and 1920. peak years of electric railroad transportation in Indiana, the assessments were $69,987,250 and $69,759,417, respectively, but . the decline has been steady since that time. An increase of $1,326,858 was . made in the assessed valuation of . telephone companies to bring the . 1936 total to $73,673,831. j A decrease of $784 was allowed , express companies, whose 1936 as- . sessed valuation was $101,688. . Properties of telegraph companies were assessed at $4,808,868 in 1936, as compared to $4,687,031 in 1935. Decreases were shown in the assessed valuation of pipe line and J sleeping car companies.
