Adams county farmers own some of the best horses and cattle in ■ America. A railroad safety placard reads: ( "You can't depend on Luck but — You can on Safety. ( The house has passed the Jones sugar bill by a three-to-one gin. which may insure its coming j a law'. It now goes to the senate and final action is expected within the next week or two. American farmers and beet growers favor the present bill. = i: Assistance to the needy, aged, j blind and orphans cost a lot of l money and those able to pay will have to share the burden. Welfare relief is here to stay. But of [ a total of $44,713 paid out in Adams county only $10,636 was raised through a local property tax. The 'Streets of Paris as an attraction has lived its day. Publicized from the world's fair in Chicago when Sally Rand took up her fan, it has traveled the country in modified form. It's an old act, centuries old we guess, and it looks as if the name at least is worn out and threadbare. The Gooding Amusement Company which provided all the rides and shows in connection with the fair is one of the largest and leading amusement companies in the country. Mr. Gooding and his managers are gentlemen and square in their dealings. They 1 have a good reputation in every town they visit. The chairmen and committee < members for the big fair are to be. congratulated for doing a flue job. Every department was well organized and details were carried out

to perfection. The cooperation of everyone is appreciated by the Chamber of Commerce and the feeling that exists today Is that the 1938 fair will be bigger and better. Tho community hopes for the speedy recovery of Rufus Inniger who was severely injured by an infuriated bull in the livestock parade last Friday. The accident was the most serious one of the week and put a damper on the enthusiasm for the balance of the parade. Mr. Inniger is reported improving and we hope his recovery is complete. The employes of the street department and city firemen performed a wonderful Job early Sunday morning in cleaning the streets that a few hours before housed a tented city. They went to work as soon as the concessionaires started to pull stakes, flushed the streets and had the thoroughfares opened to tra c early Sunday. Good work boys. The public appreciates it. A jury in Marion county found Joel Baker guilty of conspiracy in the assault and battery against Wayne Coy. The jury recommended a fine and no jail sentence and the court fined the defendant sl,000. Coy was ruthlessly attacked by Peter Cancilla, who it was claimed was a muscleman for Baker. It was brought out in court that Coy's doctor and hospital bills totaled more than SI,OOO, so Baker got off cheap at that. There was no reason for beating up Coy and with the Baker verdict it is almost sure that the real fistic attacker will also be found guilty. The state tax board has rejected the mayor's and council's recommendation to raise salaries of city firemen and policemen for the last half of 1937. City employes are not overpaid and it was the desire of city officials to adjust salaries for the balance of the year and also to include the higher pay schedules in tile budget for next year. The latter action will be taken, the budget being compiled on the proposals compiled and offered the state. The tax board held in the local case, as in other similar cases in the state, that the wages of policemen could not be changed during the calendar year, unless provided for at the beginning of the period. It is not out of order to mention the efficient service rendered by the electric and water departments of the City Plant during fair week. A week before the fair the electricians strung the wires necessary for the concessions and rides and during the week men were on duty day and night to give service or correct trouble. The water department provided taps in front of the stores so concessionaries did

I not bother merchants for a bucket of water. Every effort was made j t,y the department heads and employes to extend the city s hospi- ! tality to visiors and those who i operated stands along the widway. The big show ran without a light going out and that s about perfect 1 j service. j ® Employe and employer relations !in Decatur are good. There is a mutual feeling between both. We ! must have industries to provide ; employment and it is paramount | that we have men and women to keep the wheels going. Problems are being solved here between em- j ploye and employer in an orderly ! fashion. It is the real American way to do it. This is our home and to do anything which wouldj upset the wonderful progress and | j friendly feeling would be a blotch of which no one would be proud.

Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE J Q. If a woman is traveling alone on a train, and a man persists in annoying Iter with unsolicited attentions, should ehe sh.-w resentment or “make the best of it”? A. it is unnecessary to do eith- | er. She can answer any questions | he may ask briefly, but show a disinterested manner, and he wjll cease. Q. When at the dinner table, how long should 'partners talk exclusively to each other? A. During the first two courses. I Q. When a man is wearing gloves ! iand shakes hands with a woman, 'should he apologize for his glove? A. No, it is not required.

I w ‘ M * UN H | O wJKeSafekfCWanj{/h \ 7T.jt i Saturdays and Sundays take the j lead in the number of accidents by automobiles. The week-end con- . gestion of traffic, especially on highways and on crowded city streets, is responsible for this rec- j ] ord. People are anxious to get out of the city on Saturday and in their hurry frequently forget the 1 safe practices and common sense 1 rules. In hurrying home on Sun-1 day night, carelessness again ov- ( ertakes them and as a result more j accidents are reported. It is a fine thing to have week- < end picnics and camping parties ! Let us not mar these outings Dy, being careless in our driving hab- ; its, but let us pay special attention ] to the rules of the road and continue to enjoy these pleasures. | Remember, you are not a good j 1 driver unless you are a safe drivI er! o GLEN MEYER IS .cnNf tvt’KT> vpow pm* nvFi j the contest for second place.
