Join the crowd tonight and meet your friends along the midway. The Department of Conservation has an interesting and educational exhibit at the fair. See it. Local sororities and churches are conducting stands along the midway. They will appreciate your patronage and as you know the proceeds go to a good cause. Looking back over a week's file of newspapers, we smile when reminded that many persons wondered what newspapers would have to print after the war ended. How about your weed patch? Get the obnoxious growth cut this week or your lot will be mowed and the costs taxed to your prop-i erty, plus the fees which are added to place it on the tax duplicate. 1 Charlie Hocker has served faithfully as assistant postmaster of the Decatur office for a number of years and in his time has seen a number of postmasters come and go. He is loyal to his post and an efficient public servant. We enter the last month of summer, Hie advent of the harvest stasßlF' In another mouth school wiil be resumed and fall activities will be underway. Already newspapers are carrying advertisements that the cider presses are starting UPj. Visit the various exhibits at the fair. The livestock and horse shows are the greatest ever and you'll really not know the worth and quality of the products of Adams county until you have seen the cattle and horses produced here. Now little Egypt comes along

I and crowns a new king, an la-year-old boy, showing a yen more for fast automobiles and boxing and statecraft. He will be the ruler of 14 million people aud in the last 20 years is one of a few to be made a monarch. In most foreign countreis the dictators have made the king's job useless. Work is progressing on u couple more new houses in the city, the finest evidence of growth and good J citizenship to be enjoyed in any | community. A home provides the I real pleasures qf life. There you 1 can enjoy the companionship of the family, the visit of friends, the ease and rest which comes within the walls of the place called home The writer who suggested Colonel Lindbergh as the Republican candidate for president surely didn't take into consideration the famous flier's abhorauce to picture taking aud puolicity. Lindbergh is a great man and America is proud of him, but making him president is as far off as grooming Shirley Temple for the job. because of her popularity. Sitting in front of our typewriter and day dreaming a little, it occurred to us how wonderful it | would be if Decatur had a river drive extending north and south through the city and the territory north of Monroe street beautified and made into a park. The street fair could be held there, ample space could be provided for parking cars and in years to come a i new section of town could be built. A road along the west bank of the river is possibly the only avenue open to enlarge the business sec-I tion and provide new outlets and inlets to the town. Someday it! will be done. ! Fort Wayne has been ordered i to build a sewage disposal plant' ! and have it in operation by January 1, 1939. The state department of Commerce and Industries has ordered the city to stop pollution of the Maumee river aud that 1 leaves only one thing to do build the sewage plant. The city ad-; ministration has been making an effort to obtain a PWA grant on the project, but so far the federal ■ government hasn’t come across with the 45 percent. In view of the state order, Fort Wayne may be forced to pay the entire cost., The action of the state board forecasts similar procedure in other, Indiana communities and townst which already have constructed disposal plants an dhave solved the problem beforehand. A smile costs nothing, but gives, much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those > who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

Clip And File Bits of the Yeeterdsys of Interest Today By WILLIAM H. ZIEGLER VI IGIfHA DARE I What a name for romance, liui ■ Story heroine or Hollywood star., Xi.ut America's first nudist., H r birth date Is August 18. | Virginia Dare, aristocrat of the, aristocrats, a true F. F. . ••, ginia's grandfather Governor Joint White went to England a few days | after Virginia was born and when he returned to Raleigh no trace of Virginia or of her parent's were found. Os course this long ago. back in the year 1590. No graves were found and so Virginia Dare was not only the first white child born in America (15871 but the center of the fit st true mystery story on this continent. Very little is known of her but her name suggests romance and mystery. HERMETICALLY SEALED When the Arabs came into Europe and learned the wisdom of all ages then past, they became deeply interested in the attempts that the old Greeks had made to turn other metals into gold. That it had been declared to be a secret and mysterious process made it all the more fascinating to them. Aud so they became alchemists, and called themselves Hermetic philosophers, because tradition declared Hermes Trismegistus about two thousand years before Christ had discovered how to convert the baser metals into gold. To melt the mouth of a glass tube so as to close it was called securing it with "Hermes his seal.” We know little or nothing of Hermes, or when he lived, or I whether he ever lived at all; but it is curious that even to this day when a bottle or jar is closed so that it is air-tight we call it hermetically sealed, after this same I Hermes. HOW TARIFFS WERE BORN While we do not hear much 1 about the tariff these days, we J pay it just the same. Tarifa, a, little Spanish town not far from j Gibraltar, and. like it, set on a, high rock, and having only one; narrow roadway to the coast, | gives us the word. Ten centuries ; ago, when commerce was begin i ning on the Mediterranean, a gang of gentlemen brigands, who made Tarifa their headquarters, held up ; boats and levied blood money before allowing them to pass Later the governments of different countries began taxing foreign trade and tariff, the Tarifa idea, became an important source of revenue. American politicians were not the first to think of "robber tariffs.” « » » "YOU'LL HAVE TO SHOW ME" However you may use the oft quoted “I'm from Missouri, you’ll have to show me” it was not born in conceit or in arrogance, but in modesty and ignorance. In the 1890 s a strike in the lead mines of Leadville, Colo., induced some lead miners from Missouri to become strike breakers. Though the new men were expert miners the methods used were very different. One foreman complained "Every one of them says the same thing 'l'm from Missouri, you'll have to show me.” • • • RYAN, THE POET-PRIEST: There are waves far out on the ocean That never will break on the beach. There are depths of human emotion That cannot find expression in speech. A DELAWARE TOMBSTONE READS "And am she dead, and are she gone? < And have she left I all alone?
