Mrs. Simpson expects to get her divorce Monday and then she can 1 say what she has been thinking the past few months. If she does that probably will be news. It is claimed that more than twenty-five thousand people die anntfally in India as the result of snake bites. Some one gives as the cause that they don’t have hip packets in those "undie” suits they wziar. The city is being overrun with peddlers, agents, magazine salesmen and others who have a racket. Usually you can do better trading at home with those you know. Don't fall for smooth talk and sly , smiles. The flood which threatened several'days has subsided with only igjnor losses in comparisons to tfrose of January and February. In the Pennsylvania and Virgins areas it is estimated the damage, whs about ten million dollars. Townsend will give tje address at the Centennial celebration for Wells county to be held at Bluffton September 22nd, during the stree fair. Plans to make the occasion an event long to he remembered are now being made. George Ball, Muncie manufacturer and philanthropist has doubled his investment in the railroad business. He bought for less than three million and figures just made I public show he received IL’ has donated this to a fund which will endow universities and religious organizations. •The state highway commission has agreed to send an engineer here to look over the proposed De-catur-Monroe improvement, with a view of making the entire right-of-way even width, instead of a hundred feet part of the way and sixty feet the rest of the way. The new road is to be twenty feet wide and should be a real improvement. Over in Yugoslavia they seem to have solved the snZi>-cement of traffic regulations. They don’t bother with trials’but the police jqst push the car over on a lot and let the air out of the tires. When the offender is through pumping them back up he has no doubt thought a lot of hard things about the law but he has also made up hia mind not to get caught again., Under the new tax law, the limit' without special permission from the state department, is $2 in towns and cities and 25c in townships, exclusive of bond issues. That's something to think about for in many places it will require , some real economies. In this. county we are fortunate and in most cases, perhaps in all. the reqttiroments can be met without great inconvenience.

I Those in charge of the civic Improvement campaign are more than pleased with results up to date and hope the enthusiasm thus far displayed will continue. Moro than j eight hundred people have report- '■ ed proposed improvements of one kind or another. That’s a good record and the young men and women of the Junior Chamber of ' Commerce urge your continued , support. Make Decatur the city beautiful. David Lawrence who is not ‘ happy unless he is saying something detrimental about President Roosevelt or his administration is now busy razzing the chief execu- ' tlve for leaving for a few days rest , from his ar do us tasks. It's the only way a president can continue to take the abuse and carry the responsibilities of his office and continue to help his people and it . will take more than the squawking of an old fogey like Lawrence ! to knock him down with the peo- > pie. The G. O. P. newspapers are . hard up for something to complain about and grasp at any thing. We notice that a number are now harping because the government I i has not taken an official census to ' ascertain the number of people out i of employment. The same papers would have been the first to have 1 <riticized the administration for I the waste of money. Every one | knows that very few able bodied ' men or women who wish to work are idle today, so whats the use of counting them? In a few months ' labor will be hard to find. James A. Farley, postmaster 'general of the United States visited Indiana this week and dedicated several new buildings. He concluded his trip at Indianapolis , Wednesday night where he was entertained at a dinner attended by the heads of state departments, I district chairman, congressmen and other leaders. He is not only a great politician, which is conceded, but is also a real public official. one who works at his job and shows results. Indiana is honored by his visit her eand hopes he will return frequently. A lot of old folks will spend their last years in the poorhouse unless Mr. Justice Roberts changes his mind, or President Roosevelt changes the Supreme Court. It's odd that in a country supposed to be ruled by the people the question of whether we can have oldage pensions and jobless insurance should depend not on what the people want but on what an ex-rail-road attorney—opposed to railroad | pensions — thinks they ought to have. For unless Mr. Justice Roberts changes his mind the Supreme Court will affirm the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals at Boston holding that the Federal Government has no power to bring about the enactment of old age pensions and unemployment insurance. o | Answers To Test Questions : Below are the answers to the '■ Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

The foreign office said that the decision to evacuate refugees i probably would be announced formally at London late today At France's suggestion Basque loyalists asked the central loyalist government to house refugees in Spain, instead of abroad, so it was expected that the first refugees at least would be taken by steamship either through thj> Straits of Gibraltar to the east coast or to French ports for transportation overland to Catalonia.
