The flood waters are going out to sea and no one will say "We’re glad you came.” The annual farmers banquet at Geneva next Friday will attract a crowd and an entertaining program has been arranged. The meeting will be held in the school building, the first time it has been opened to the public for such an occasion. President Roosevelt has invited the Boy Scouts to Washington for a jamboree next summer. He paid tribute to the scouts in an address yesterday and said, "the ideals of scouting were not simply ideals for boys but also for men." The jamboree will no doubt attract thousands to the capital and result in much good. Among the matters being con sidered by the legislature is the adoption of legislation dealing with the house trailer problem. A committee has been named to make a study of laws passed in other states. A tax of some kind will no doubt be levied, in view of the benefits the occupants of trailer travelers rece.re from the community at large. Evansville, Vevay, and other towns along the Ohio river took it on the nose again this week, windstorms doing considerable damage in the wake of the flood. Many buildings were wrecked and at Vevay the foundations under the, municipal light plant started to crumble. The elements are cruel this year and there is not much chance to run away from them. The high water and apparent dangers from the flood did not dampen the enthusiasm and plans for staging the Mardi Gras in New Orleans this week. The town turned out for the greatest of all festivals, the climax being held tonight. when the thousands will parade and make merry. The Mardi Gras is staged annually just prior to the Lenten season and attracts visitors from all parts of the country. "We ll build a better and bigger Louisville.” is the spirit that prevails in that city and in fact in every town along the Ohio. From the ruins of the flood will rise better cities and in most cases the dafffcer of other disastrous floods 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 11. 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.

■ will be eliminated. Once the American people make up their mind and their courage la tested, nothing Taunts them. Chicago. San Fransisco and other cities were built upon the ashes of destroyed L towns. 1 Roger Babson remarks that as| 1 soon as the manufacturers overcome the public's fear of sameness , of design in pre fabricated houses, I that the industry will show tre- ’ mendous headway. Home owners i ' do not want to live In houses that i look like rows of box cars. They ■ 1 want something individual and' personal, expressive of their own sentiment and liking. When the versatile design comes along, the j packaged house will be popular. An alert dealer in used cars whose suspicions were aroused by the cheap price a customer placed on an automobile called police, and as a result a paroled convict of an . Ohio city who had stolen the car was captured. The incident emphasizes again the value of co-op ' eratiou between the public and po-, lice. A tip or a call for an in-' vestigation of an incident may lead to capture of a notorious criminal or a fugitive" from justice. Police j officers cannot be assigned to every street intersection, business house or residence. Neither can they patrol every street of the city every hour. A watchful public, however, can supply them with information which may lead to an arrest. —Richmond Palladium. — The Hartford City News and the | Tiines-Gazette are now owned by I the same management, a consoli- j datton i" Ing formed this week. 1 Both papers will be published, but only one plant will be operated. The News will continue a Democratic paper and the Times-Ga-zette, Republican in politics. The News was established in 1893 by the late Edward E. Cox, one of the able newspaper men of his I day. In any town of 5,000 to 10.000 ft is difficult to publish two < daily papers and the consolidation I of the Hartford city papers is a | step started during the World War to consolidate newspaper properties. No doubt the combined paper t will thrive and we wish the new , owners the best of luck and years 1 of worthy service. o s RED CROSS Flood Relief Fund 1 St. Paul Lutheran church $98.84 , Clark's Chapel S.
