The Literary Digest might take a poll to see if the country will miss its next presidential prediction. • Don't shoot firecrackers before July 1. and it will be agreeable to ■most people if you forget to do it ; then. When the honeymoon is over we I suggest that the Duke of Windsor land a $lO a week job if he wants to find happiness. Since they didn't land in Oakland it might not be safe for the Russian fliers to go back home and possibly face court martial. The addition to the McMillen Feed Mills is coming right along,! in fact going up, and work is being pushed to have it in operation in the near future. It will in - crease the daily output of this im portant industry and continue to make it one of the largest shipp • ing points in this part of the state. • It's encouraging to see local industry expand. • County Auditor Tyndall has distributed the May tax funds to the various taxing units in the county. This spring's collection was one of the best in history, more than half of the total amount for „ the year being paid. It proves that times are better and that the • people want to pay their taxes. • Adams county is one of the lead- j ing counties in the state when it ! - comes to meeting the tax bill. In all probability the PWA will ' be continued for another two years | under the same plan of making 45 - percent grants to municipalities . for public improvements. On the ( preferred list is school buildings i and chances are that Decatur will | be given a grant towards the conof a new building. If - proper financial arrangements can -be made, the grant should be ac-! copied and the building construct--/ed. • Another successful term of the I - Daily Vacation Bible School comes to a close. The annual commence-1 ment exercises will be held Wed' „ nesday evening at Decatur highl school auditorium, with Rev. W. 1 11. Franklin, dean of the school, in charge or the program. The Rev. M. O. Herman of Berue will de- ! liver the address. About 250 children were enrolled in the school and the sessions proved interesting and educational. It's a worthy institution. The Decatur swimming pool was paid for from funds of the electric 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

I and water departments of the city. ■ It was built before the day of the I law which now permits a bond I issue to construct a pool. Many ' cities are taking advantage of the ' legislation and are building swim- . mlng pools for the children and adults. No improvement is up- ! predated as much as u swimming j pool and it would be fine it a i town the size of Decatur could afford more than one. An unusual law suit has been tiled in the Cass circuit court by a Reverend Bowman who seeks $88.67 from a Reverend Goodrich who was a candidate for congress on the Townsend pension plan ticket last year. The defendant alleges that Rev. Goodrich promi ised to pay him for his services I during the campaign and he has ; , gone to court to try to collect his . salary. Those kind of debts are i hard to collect. It might be easier I to wait on the pension. Fort Wayne is planning to cele-j brate the opening of Clinton street ’ and Mayor Baals announces that Governor Townsend and other i state executives will be invited to participate. The opening and improving of this important street will not only benefit the city, but will be of great service to the motoring public. It is planned to route U. 8. road 27 over the improved stretch and since it was 1 widened it will serve as an im-I tiortant link in the highway ays-; : tern. A one day celebration will be held and as a civic accomplish-, ment it should be recognized. Raymond 8. Springer, twice the i G. O. P. hope for governor, is said to be making progress in his aspiration to be Congressman from the Tenth district. He should be pow erful enough to obtain the nomination, and if he does, and the picturesque Fiuly H. Gray is renominated by the Democrats, I Springer w ill find himself up against something. Gray handles his own campaigns and is a per- ' sistent door bell ringer. It is his personal method of calling on vot 'era in their homes that has won the votes necessary for election in a normally Republican district. I Gray lets his hair grow long and wears a frock coat. His different look keeps him from being easily forgotten. Indiana ranked fourth from the i top of states in the number of votes cast in the 1936 presidential | election. With 2.003,019 who are R 'of a voting age in Indiana, the 'state recorded 1,650,897 votes last' 1 November, or a proportion of 82.5 per cent. West Virginia, with 92.1 : per cent, showed the largest proportionate vote of any state. Carolina was the lowest at 11.1 per) i cent. While it wasn't first, Indi-1 ana can well be proud of its stand- ' ing. Alar g e vote reveals a i ■ healthy condition. When people j l maintain an interest in polities, they are going to got good government. Public officials take cognizance' of an alert electorate. They know that they will be turned out if they don't perforin their duties satisfactorily. The Hoosier state is known far and widfe for its political activity. And likewise for its efficient state government. * CONGRESS TODAY * By UNITED PRESS ♦ ♦ Senate: Takes up war department appropriations bill, extension of “nuisance” taxes and railroad retirement. bill.
