There is some increase in the j cost of living but it’s also easier ‘ to get than the reduced amount i was during the depression. Keep' smiling. The best politics is the best government and that's what you are. getting from nation, state and local 1 officials. Compare general condi-j tions today with those of just a few years ago and give credit wnere it belongs. There are a lot of coinplaints j about taxes, the number of reports necessary under the present system and various other things inaugurated under the New Deal, but few would want to discard them if by so doing they had to return to the conditions of ’32 to '34. The Brady gang up to date, hasn't proven as dangerous as the ' old Dillinger outfit, but the police of three states are hot on their trai’ and the fact they have managed to elude their captors up to date, shows they are rather foxy and if given the opportunity would I prove plenty dangerous. | Those interested in the sugar beet business are watching the new bill proposed some months ago by i President Roosevelt and amended I during its tour through the housel and senate and hoping for its final, approval as it now stands. The bill has passed both the house and senate and is in conference committee. The president's action will be anxiously awaited if you art, trying to .guess why the traffic problem is always increasing. it may aid you to know that up to the first of this month, ] 956.006 licenses had been issued by the state department, a gain of 61.000 for the same period of last year. Next year's license plates will be Purdue colors, crimson and ivory and are said to be very attractive in appearance. The “Jungletown” battle should not be repeated and we should have no such a suburb. There is no need for hoboes now for there is work for those able to work and arrangements to take care of the aged and sick. Tramps should not be welcomed for the good of the community and as fall and winter approaches they should be positively informed that they are not wanted here. Summer, long expected and dreaded by many, seems to have arrived this week. Well, another month and the straw hat season CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are 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 i Decatur R. R. 2, instruct. us to change the paper! from route one to route i two.

will be over and we can expect I cool breezes which tnay get cooler | and cooler for the next several I months. In this part of the coun-I try we usually have cold and warm extremes, storms and winds, but on the average it's a dandy dim ate and we like it. After reading the dispatches j from China. Japan, Spain and other countries, its easy to decide that ■ this is a pretty fine country to live in after all. Visualize a nation I where its unsafe to stay in your house or step out. where you can't ’ earn a living, where there can be no happiness because of the uncertain conditions and then think of the many opportunities in this land of plenty. We ought to be a happy and contented people. Ralph Tyndall has been selected to fill out the unexpired term of Perry Thompson, resigned, as a member of the city council in I Bluffton. His friends here are con- ! fident the election was a wise one i and that Ralph will in this, as in I all things he has undertaken, give I his very best. He is a conscientious. I well qualified, successful business I man whose advice should be helpj ful to his community. Our conI gratulations are heartily and sinI cerely extended. — "-TThose who had sent in early; i reservations for World Series seats in Chicago, when the Cubs were seven full games ahead, are now | wondering if they ought to plan some other vacation or take a chance. The Cubs have had several of their best players out from | injuries and their pitchers are tired and apparently not as effective as a few weeks ago. How- - ever they are still out in front and 4 may get a break any time that; | will shoot them unto a safe leaderj ship. It ought to be a good finish « | for the fans. The labor situation in Indiana 1 is such that it ought to please! 4 every Hoosier. Under Thomas R r Hutson, state labor commissioner, ! 125 cases out of 183 have been ad , t I justed and in no case is there any ' serious outlook at this time. The s cooperation of industry and labor in Indiana is such as to attract the , I attention of leading citizens in ' ! every part of the country. Gover < | nor M. Clifford Townsend has I I assisted in every way possible to < advance the general welfare of ; r workers and employes and has ( succeeded in a marvelous manner. I — John D. M. Hamilton, red-haired , young man from Kansas, is to be removed as national chairman of | the Republican party and many are taking the flings that go with failure. The truth is he is a very j able young man as was show-n when he managed Mr. Landon s 1 campaign and secured his nomi- i nation for the presidency but he ! led a lost cause with an uncertain platform and nothing to sell that the people wanted. So he failed I and the world has no use for the 1 I j loser. They give all their eulogies [ I to the man in front, which is the . way of the world and always will , be probably. 1 ‘ | The city administration deserves ; t commendation and much credit for holding down the city tax rate to forty cents, the same as it has r been for three years and this although the budget is several thousand dollars higher. This is poss-, ible of course because the power ! , plant is showing a very good profit with the outlook for continued growth. It is wonderful that we j can progress and continue to im-, , ( prove without increased taxes and at the same time give reductions I in rates to the uirttrs of electricity. The public will approve such wise and careful management of the city's affairs. 0 i Burglars Drink Beer Schenectady, N, Y- (U.R) —Burg-, ! lars sipped beer while looting the ' ! safe of a local market, police re-1 ported. The thirsty burglars took nearly S6OO in cash, leaving an i empty beer bottle lying near the * dismantled safe.

motorists to BUY CONTAINER Registration Card Containers Must Be Bought i By Motorists Indianapolis, Aug. 20. (U.K) No definite price yet has been set for registration card containers which Indiana motorists are required to purchase under a law passed by the 1937 legislature, the state department announced today. I Although a law permits the state . to charge up to 25 cents each, no decision has been reached on the i retail price, it was said The state automobile license di vision has awarded a contract for I manufacture of the gadgets to the N. Shure company of Chicago which, it is understood, will turn them out ,gt 12.9 cents each. At a maximum charge of 25 cents each the state would profit by approximately 1120,000 annually. One million of the containers have been ordered and will be dis tributed throughout the state, 11I cense department officials eaid. Purchase of the containers from the state is not compulsory, but ■ the container used must be one | approved by the license commis-l sion. “If somebody wants to undersell the state, and the container is legally approved, there is nothing i to hinder him,” It was said. How-; ever, no serious competition is ex- ! pected by informed sources. Mark Rodenbach. assistant license commissioner said the state plans at least to get its money back from the sales He pointed out that more of the holders would i have to be sent to each branch than the anticipated sales, therej fore, reducing the annual profit. Profits from the sales will go into I the state general fund in which ! there already is reported to be a balance of about $24,000,000. Rodenbach explained that the ■ containers were adopted as an aid Ito police work throughout the state. He pointed out that use of them will facilitate checking to determine whether license plates ■ on automobiles are those properlybelonging to the car. This, he j said, will aid police in checking! stolen license plates and also will make illegal transfer of license . plates more difficult. o HOSPITAL ASKS /CONTYNTIFD FROM PAGE ONE) $967; janitor and aides. $1,009; diet, kitchen. $935; freight, express and drayage, $65; postage. $75; gardener.
