The merchant who isn’t advertising these days is just losing out on | the best opportunity he has ever > had. Decatur needs a hundred houses, and will get a good part of that 1 number during the next few, months. It’s the only way to grow and those who are building nowwili tell you that they have plenty of applications to rent or buy. Let’s get busy. The sooner they put Father Devine, who calls himself “God" in some place where his ravings will not tend to send others off on the wrong track, the better it will be for every one. Revelations now being made by G-men indicate that many of his followers are any thing but saints. Paul V. McNutt and his aides sailed today from San Francisco for the Phillipines where Paul will become high commissioner, a position of great responsibility and honor. His million Hoosier friends expect and believe his record in his new place will be such as to attract attention for that’s the way he does things. The sewage system in Hartford City will cost $175,000 it is estimated and besides the regular taxes to meet, bonds will be paid by a “tap" assessment, which is to say. will add a percentage increase to the water bills for each quarter. These improvements are necessary and aid any community but they do cost a heap of money. A big story comes from Santa Anna, California that a hobo nam ed Frank Orsbaum 68, was en rout to Fort Wayne to claim a hundred thousand dollar fortune left him by an uncle. It makes a good story but the trouble is that no such an estate is on record in Fort Wayne and no one has been found who knows either the hobo or his rich uncle. We will have the parking problem until we make arrangements to take care of it. There is no rea son that we can think of, other than a convenience to a very few, that we should not have one hour parking in the down town districts. Those who wish to park for longer than that can easily find space in one of the parking yards’ or on one of the nearby streets. Louisiana will raise >81,000,000 from gasoline taxes this year, which ought to provide the best roads in the nation if it goes there without too much cost. In the city of New Orleans the taxes total ten cents per gallon, more than fifty per cent on the cost of this motor fuel. Os that amount two cents is city tax. one cent is federal and seven cents is the state tax. The many friends of Dr. J. C. Grandstaff of Preble have learned of bis illness with much regret and axe earnestly hoping for a speedy IkwJ -■

■ recovery. He is one of the pioni eers of this county and fur many I years has devoted his time and i energy to serving the people, go-. I ing day and night to call on his ; patients and finding time to take part in all matters of public inj terest. — Twenty years ago this week this ■ ■ government was preparing to en--1 ter the world war and the resolution to declare that a state of war existed with Germany was passed twenty years ago next Tuesday. Followed a two year period of act-' ivlty never before equalled in the world and within a few months millions of American boys were in training camps It was a serious time, from which we have never fully recovered. We want no more wars. The farm outlook for this year is the brightest in a decade and here is one class of Americans — and mighty important—that will pay no attention to the rules and regulations of the "stay-ins’’ and strikers, but for the next several ; months will be busy from sun-up to sun-down, some fifteen hours a day. They are the backbone of the nation and they certainly deserve a "break" financially. We hope they all recoup any losses they ' have suffered in the past. The state highway program for, Adams county is not very big this year but we have the direct promise from the commission that we | will be given due attention for lit38. That may seem like putting it off but whatever it is, we can blame only ourselves. The commission is busy with demands from many communities and naturally, take care of those in preference to the counties in which no particular effort is made. We firmly believe that it’s up to this county to so organize that they are never aI gain left so completely out of the years program. * President Dee Fryback of the 1 Decatur Chamber of Commerce has named the committees to have] 1 charge of the Decatur Free Street ' Fair to be held August 2nd to 7th i and the names mdicate the care used in making the selection to assure the greatest success of this important event. The board of directors will be the executive committee with Roscoe Glendeuning as chairman of the finance com-| mitee, and capable men to attend' to concessions, free acts, decorations, program, music, publicity, agriculture, lights and streets. Con- ] tracts for the rides, special attrac-' tions and several features have been signed and the outlook for a i big show was never better. Plan to make the first week in August your fun period. A recent survey shows that the cities in which the largest percentage of traffic accidents occurred last year were those in which vioi lators escape punishment or fines by “fixing" the officials. It is known | that in many cities if you have a little pull, know someone connected with the administration, you can send your sticker in and the . whole matter is "washed up." The traffice situations shows that New . York led the nation s largest cities in preventing automobile deaths . in 1936. Its fatality rate was less than half of Chicago and less than a third that of Los Angeles. Goth- , am presented the unique record ~of convicting more than 99 per cent of all violators who received traffic tickets. Milwaukee has been ) America's safest large city for , years and was second only to New t. York in 1936. No traffic tickets are I ■ fixed in the Wisconsin city. In 19-, r 36 Syracuse made the best traffic i safety record of any community f in its population class. As a result r of its “no-fix” program, convictions s in traffic cases soared to 90 per 1 cent, while in six months accidents ! dropped 40 per cent. Felix Maier, Don Gage, Harold j Kirsch and Adrian Lenhart were I among thoso who attended the professional fight card at the Fort f I Wayne armory last evening.
