If you have moved, changed your name or were not registered, do it before October 5. if you wish to vote in November. The first week of school is over, bringing us that much nearer to next year's vacation and the same thing all over again. Adams county will receive sl7. 477.32 more from the state than it I paid in gross income taxes. That's, a bargain and one reason why j property taxes have been reduced. Republican papers, like the Chi cago Tribune have heaped bitter ( criticism on the Resettlement Administration and the housing pro - jects. Henry Eord is now following the government's example and will build approximately 30 houses for workers in his timber lauds in Northern Michigan. According to the Literary Digest poll, Decatur will go Democratic as heavy as it did four years ago. when Roosevelt carried the town by more than 700. The people in small town's and especially here, appreciate that progress has been made since 1933 and will stand by Roosevelt. The county commissioners acted wisely in ordering the drives at the Adamo County Memorial Hospital hard surfaced. The circular drive was a continual item ot expense and unsatisfactory, as much of the stone was washed away by -rain or thrown to the side by traffic. The black top roads.will be an improvement to the already well kept and beautiful grounds and in keeping with the policy of the' board to reduce repair expenses. , Governor Talmadge of Georgia, who for some months has been 1 making speeches against the New ,l>eal and going so far as to insult President Roosevelt in his talks, was snowed under in the state's primary election for the senatorial nomination. A critic of Roosevelt and the administration Talmadge posed as a leader of a revolt against the party and quacked like a big gosling. He talked himself into a trap and the voters of Georgia decided his political future for him by renominating Senator Russell, who stood for the administration and Roosevelt. Politically 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.

at least, it seems that Talmadge' is as dead us Huey Long. He dug' his own grave. Judge Springer, the Republican candidate for governor, stepped off first base and might be put out as jhe tries to slide to second, when, he came out for repeal of the gross income tax law, which would stop payment of teacher's salaries. He is in hot water now and Cliff Town- j send, who knows something about state affairs and the necessity of paying teachers, pointedly asked the Republican candidate what kind of a tax would be substituted for the present one. Next year local communities will receive 9500 from the state towards the payment of every teacher. A net income tax, as advocated by Spring :er will not raise sufficient money tor this program. Placing the tax burden on real estate again, or with a sales tax would ruin business in the state. The county government, exclusive of the levy for bonds and interest and the welfare program. , I will operate on a budget of approximately $94,000, of which only $66.-1 000 will be raised by taxation. Despite an increase in the welfare | and old age pension requirements for next year, which budget sets i up a working balance for the first six months of 1938, the total coun- > ty levies are one cent under the 1936 rate. The general fund has been reduced to a low level and I the rate lixd at 29 cents on the SIOO, compared to a 43-cent rate this year, which included about ■ nine cents for old age pensions and expenses incidental thereto. The bond levy at soar cents is a reduction of one cent under this year's rate and funds will be provided for the payment of bonds and interest on the Scheumann bridge and Adams County Memorial Hospital The county officials have used judg : meat and economy in making up the budget, reducing expenses to: 'a minimum and deserve the con-. sideration and thanks of taxpayers j |benefited. o Answers To Test Questions | Below are the answers to the | i Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ 4 1.

I The ponderous, creaking water wheel which furnishes motive 1 power for the grist and saw i ruflits in the re-created pioneer vil-i , lago at Spring Mill state park, on i Road 80, just east of Mitchell in Lawrence county, has a neverfailing attraction tor visitors. ' Here corn is ground into meal and logs are feawed into boards by the ' method of a century ago. Within this 1,200 acre state park visitors find many attractions in addition to the three-story stone mill and the log cabins which line i the village street. Among these j points of interest are the acres of 1 virgin timber; Donaldson and Twin Caves which contain many unusual and striking formations; blind fish inhabiting the waters of underground streams flowing through the caves; sink holw, I

On the two upper : floors of the building are display'ed furnishings and implements from the homes of pioneer Hoosiers, an exhibit which claims the interest of everyone interested in ■ the early history of the state. Around the mill are the cabins which once housed the businesses and residents of the village. Meals are served in the early American atmosphere of the Tavern ajid ' many of the cabins are partially furnished with beds, chests and other articles typical of their period. A handloom is operated lin one of the rooms, showing iiow doth and rugs were made. Visitors at Spring Mill are free ■ to wa.nder through the village at will and to enjoy the natural beauty of the park which is parj ticularly attractive during the autumn months.

PIANSURVEYOF BUILDING NEEDS Local Government Units 1 To Assist In Construction Survey j Indianapolis. Sept. 11. — 4U.R) More than 700 local government units in Indiana have been asked Ito participate In a survey to determine public construction needs 1 for the next six years. Lawren, e V. Sheridan, consultant of the state i planning board, said today. The progiam is sponsored by Hie national resources committee with the co-operation of the public works and works progress admin- | istratlons. E'orms on which estimated local construction needs for the six-year period were to he listed now are in the hands of local offi, ials. Sher- . idan said. After the forms are returned, they will be compiled and used as a basis of a potential six-year pro- | gram. I The sponsoring agencies hope that the program will serve to ex- ' tend the practice, on the part ot state and local government units, iof preparing public construction budgets on a long-term rather than an annual basis, Sheridan said. It is believed, he added, that a j six-year public works program, kept currently up to date and extended to include an additional i year as each annual quota of con- ' struction is completed, will result i in more effective planning and in i increased economy of administration. Quoting Harold Ickes, chairman ■of the national resources commitI tee. Sheridan said: "Although a six-year program of non-federal public works on a national scale should serve as a useful guide to federal construction agencies iff developing long-range plans for normal federal public works activities, the national re- | sources committee feels that the major purpose of the program will lie achieved if it serves to stimulate long-term planning of public construction activities by states and local units of government. "The aim of long-term planning of this character is to eliminate waste and duplication by bringing about doser co-operation between all construction agencies — federal,. ' state and local. O # « Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE « « Q. Its it permissible to place one's hand on a person's shoulder or arm, whin talking with him? A. This is not necessary, and is ' very annoying to some people. Os course, in a matter of condolence, it ie often done, even to the holding of the person’* hand while talking. Q. When a woman enters an elevator and four or five m- n remove their hats should she nod in acknowledgement of the courtesy? A. No, it is not necessary. The g sture is not at all personal. Q.
