Forget your troubles, meet your friends, ride on the merry-go-round and in general have a good time. Roger Babson is authority for the statement, "The fall of 1937 should see the best business in nine years." Every indication points that way. The several lodges and fraternal organizations invite out ot town, members to visit their lodge homes > during fair week. Enjoy fraternal friendship with the boys. — The street fair and agricultural, show will serve as a homecoming J to hundreds of people who still call Decatur their home. They will be here to enjoy the program and j at the same time spend a week a-, mong friends. It should be a happy six days. Friends of Mrs. Lola Macklin are happy over her appointment as acting Postmaster of the Decatur office. She will serve efficiently and courteously and will have the hearty cooperation of the postal employes in maintaining the fine degree of service for which the local office is noted. Notices have been served by the city to property owners to cut weeds on vacant lots next week. This should be done. There isn’t anything which ruins the looks of a neighborhood as much as an unkept lot and the civic minded person has a right to complain. If you have a lot grown over with weeds you’ll feel better after you harvest the crop. Those acquainted with conditions in the far east, vouch that China will be beaten by the Japs, but that the Chinese will put up

good fight. The agression is not favored by the populace of Japan, but the military forces are in control and the country must inarch. The Chinese will fight to the last man und the conflict is liable to ■ be a loug drawn out affair. ‘ Rxral communities should see i more prosperity and growth this fall than at any time within the , last decade. Economists and bus!1 ness writers predict a healthy upswing after Labor day. Forbes a1 I scribes one reason for this increase ’ to the fact that, "Farm products, by and large, are yielding unusually satisfactory prices. This presages greatly expanded agricultural purchasing power." Henry Ford was 74 years old yesterday. He didn’t do any celebrating, but with boyish enthusi-. asm announced that he and Mrs. Ford were planning to celebrate i their fiftieth wedding anniversary next April. The country hopes they both live to see their Golden wedding anniversary. Ford has had one of the most romantic lives ever given to man and will take a prominent place in history. The state roads will be routed over Thirteenth, Adams and Fifth I streets during fair week. U. S. highway No. 27, north and south.! will connect with road 224 at Nuttman avenue and route 527 will run - west to Fifth street to Nuttman i avenue, forming a junction there' with the other roads. State high-. i way officials are desirous of servi ing the public and making travel J I as safe as possible any at the same I time convenient to tbe motorists. I We believe the detours through j i town will prove satisfactory. ( .< THE YOUNG DEMOCRATS: The eyes of the nation will be i | turned to Indianapolis next month | when the Young Democrats of the, nation assemble for their national convention. What these young men and women do and think is I important to the future of the nation. It is they who will de-! termine the course that will be followed in the immediate years to come. That the gatherings will offer an opportunity for pleasure and an outing is taken for granted. But it means more than that, for the delegates who will assemble are • serious minded, and for the first time in the history of any political party, they are given an opportun- 1 ity to register their wishes and their desires. They were born into a new era in industry and business. They were born to a world already using modern inventions. They have < lived in the era of automobiles I and electric lights. To talk to them of a day when the auto was unknown, or a day when kerosene * lamps, to be quite recent, furnishI <d the only means of lighting —— ■ ■ ■ i

They can I understand these questions, tori they have lived with them and I suffered from the lack of their solution. So the nation will watch . this convention and translate it into politics.

The famous war reporter flew out aboard the Hawaii Clipper of trie Pan American Airways to Hong Kong.

I WEIGHT LIMITS FOR VEHICLES ■ Cite Weight, Size Limits Far Vehicles On Highways ludianauolis. July 31 — Regulations governing tne Issuance of permits for the operation of oversize and overweight vehicles on the state highways have been call ed to the attention of all high way district and sub-district officials, it has been announced by, Earl Crawford, chairman of the state highway commission. Applications for permits to move oversize and overweight vehicles over the state highways must be made to the state highway super-> intendent in the subdistrict in which the load originates. The ap plication is also subject to review by the highway district engineer and by the maintenance department. Under a 1937 statute there is a fee charged for the issuance . of these permits for some classes of vehicles. In calling attention to the limitations imposed on the issuance of special permits, the following regulations apply: "On application for oversize | equipment, the haul should be limited to approximately 50 miles where there are shipping facilities. If there are no shipping facilities, special consideration could be given. If necessary to haul tbe load I for a total distance of at least 20 miles to and from shipping points, the application can be considered. "No application should be approved allowing vehicles to use posted roads or bridges if the gross weight of the vehicle is greater than the load for which the road impossible to get to the destinaor bridge is posted, unless it is tion any other way. If it is necessary to allow a heavy load to move over a posted bridge, it must be fully understood that the appli-. cant will be held entirely responsible for any damage. “Application to move loads more ! than ten feet and six inches wide i should be kept at a minimum, esi pecially if they are to be moved , i any great distance. | “Application to move heavy . shovels, etc., over highways on their own power should be kept L a minimum and should never be I granted for more than a mile or two j if the machine can be hauled on a I trailer. | “No application should be con- ■, sidered for hauling oversize or ov- | erweight loads when the material
