That's why each side is stepping carefully and moving slowly. The city of Indianapolis has given $225,000 to Red Cross for the flood relief, which it is said is three times the amount ever subscribed before, showing that Hoos-' lets are real folks. The flood crest moves up a notch or two. Cairo and Paducah seem! to be fairly safe but now the inter- j est will be for those farther down the Mississippi where the crest: will not be reached for from one to three weeks. Indiana has 354 pilots licensed to drive airplanes and of this number 239 are for transports. That showing perhaps averages with other states but is rather insignificant when compared to the million licensed to drive automobiles. Let's forget personal matters and fight shoulder to shoulder for this community. It's the best there is any where and we can make it better and give every one the opportunity to be comfortable the rest of their days by proper cooper-1 ation. Central high school at Fort Wayne is to have a new $175,000 gym that will seat 7,500 people and permit them to stage a state bas- 1 ketball tournament. It is expected to carry itself and will probab-l ly do that and show a profit for; the school. General Motors employes at An-! derson, with exception of a few hundred radicals, have returned to, work and did it in the spirit of wanting to get back on the job. The mouth of idleness has proven that strikes don't bring profits to any one. Mayor Bangs of Huntington announces he will continue h*s fight for a city utility plant, even though Judge David E. Smith's ruling that he is outside the law, has been upheld by the supreme court. Sometimes it looks as though the mayor rather likes it in jail. The "sit-down" strikers are go-1 ing too far. An Excelsior Springs, Missouri man, who courted a girl for a long time and proposed to her two years ago, went > to her home and sitting down, refused to move until he had a favorable reCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

ply. Os course one way to cure that would be to borrow the neighbor's p’blice dog. The highways are clear through I Cincinnati for those who wish to travel to the southland but you are advised by authorities in that section to fill the gas tank before you start south from the river as you can't stop without a pass and most of the gas stations are out as a result of the floods. The loss of business alone in the ' flood district the past few weeks is estimated at more than six hundred million dollars. It's going to take a long time and a lot of inJ dividual effort to catch up with that loss but the grave people in the regions hurt the worst have j their chins up and will go after it. ( I The marriage of the nine-year-' I old Tennessee girl to a twenty-two' year old man is shocking, but while correcting that abuse of public' recency it might be advisable also' to do something about those who marry two or three times a year, and who take the marriage vows] no more seriously than they do a ■ divorce decree. They seem to ' think they can marry on “a guarantee of satisfaction or money re- , turned” basis. : — — I Virgil Simmons, head of the state i conservation department, is supporting President Roosevelt by recommending the planting of trees at the headwaters of the creeks and rivers where the floods start. There is no question that these trees would absorb enough moisture that the headwaters would be taken care of and that would permit the main streams to i easily handle any normal rainfall. | It's a splendid idea and the conservation department of Indiana could do no more important work, Wells county is a hundred years old this year and is discussing plans for properly observing such ;an important occasion. The exact dale is reported to be February 2nd but of course there were many | details during the year and most any date will do for the celebration. The county was named for an old Indian lighter, Captain William Wells. It has progressed alia is considered one of the best counties in the slate. Citizens of Blufflon and that entire section conI tributed in many ways to making

the Adams county and Decatur Centennial a success last August and we are sure our people will be very happy to return all favors, with interest. As liberal as we have been in ! : this community to meet the Red 1 Cross requirements, there is as we have stated, no limit to the amount that can be used. The federal call of two million was doubled the same day and within forty-eight hours had been boosted t to ten million and then as the demands continued, the lid was takien off and the request sent out:I "raise all you can.” The six thousand dollars raised in this county will only take care of a compar--1 atively few people and there are many hundreds of thousands who ' must be aided, so you see what a I job is ahead. It has been wonderI ful and we know the continued 1 response will be equally fair. Os , course many gave all they could , and are not expected to do more, but those who can, will get much ! satisfaction out of bringing joy i back to the stricken ones who have j almost lost hope. ——- - o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

FEDERAL FLOOD jCOVrINCEP suggestion that 30,000 persons were homeless there and that sanitation and health problems were the first consideration of all rehabilitation work. Today the governor moved toward even more disconsolate areas as the muddied Ohio river lapped about the wheels of his automobile and residents of the swamped bottom lands implored him for aid. This will be forthcoming with full generosity of the state and federal governments, Townsend said, but cash will not be given to any community to disperse. All money will be expended through state agencies, Townsend said.
