Read the advertisements in the I Daily Democrat for bargains that should interest every buyer at this time of the year. Are the youngsters ready for school? Decatur stores are filled, with just what you need to fit them' out and at prices that will please you. The late summer flies seem to have found some means of sharpening their teeth for when they : bite a fellow he really knows the bugs are buzzing. Indiana has had thirty inches of rainfall this year, more than we , usually have in a full year, with four months to go. Some say it s too much, some declare it just ’ right but none say we have had a drouth. John D. M. Hamilton says he will not presume to predict a sweeping Republican victory in 19.38. Evidently he has not forgotten his lesson learned in 1936. He might take the matter up with ■ James A. Farley, who seems to have a better source of information regarding such events as elections. Violators of the laws against ' driving a car while under the influence of liquor should realize they can t get away with it. Heavy penalties including the revoking of licenses will be administered by . the courts and we are informed that once your license is taken up, you will have a tough time getting another one. Justice Willis VanDevantcr, until recently an honored associate justice of the supreme court of the United States and tho first to retire under the new law which permits him to draw his full salary , as long as he lives, is visiting in Marion, Indiana, his old home. He is recognized as one of the profoundist jurists in America. Gangster Brady who has terrorized various communities throughout the middle west the past year is reported to be an expert roller skater, who for months while the Indiana and Ohio police were searching for him. was operating a fancy rink in Baltimore and doing a good business. Jim Crow suggests that Brady is also an expert at "skating on thin ice.” The program for the Democratic editorial meeting at French 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 Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper j from route one to route j two.

There will also be various entertainment and . a shop meeting Saturday morning. It promises to be a delightful affair. — j Congressman Janies 1. Farley I 'has returned home after a busy | eight months in Washington, where he returned a good record for ' achievement aud in looking after , I the interests of the citizens of the old fourth district. After a fortnight at the lake he will open offices in the postoffice building at . Fort Wayne where he will be glad to meet constituents who need his assistance. With additions being construct ed at several local industries, with the outlook for several years of growth and progress, the toughest problem to solve is that of providI ing houses for those who must 1 live here to properly do their i work. It you have any plans, it j you can build one residence or I more, if you are interested in makI ing this a city of 10,000, you should get in touch with the chamber of commerce, Walter Chrysler, the famous , automobile manufacturer cannot I understand why some pessimists 1 continue to cry about a depression, when his company is turning out 6,000 cars a day and other companies are exceeding all previous records. There is no depression. ! now. Those who try can in almost ■ every instance, do better than evI er before and 1938 promises to be | a bigger year than any of those record makers of the twenties. Visitors participating in the ninth annual state poultry tour | were delighted with their reception here last evening and this city was happy to be the host for these important producers. Today they visited industrial plants and model farms in this county and we * aj:e sure they enjoyed it as much ■ ; las any day of their tour. This is, one of the good agricultural counties of the middle west and need-| less to say, we are all mighty proud ■ p of it. Keep an eye out for the fakir I who would treat your eyes or < frightens victims into paying exhorbitant prices for worthless, *' glasses. If your eyes trouble you. t go to your family physician who will direct you how to proceed so 1 that you may get the best results , at the lowest cost. Advice to this j effect has been sent out to post ‘ masters in this section with ad-' vice that grafters are woking this t scheme, especially among older , people. The way to lick an epidemic is I to fight it from the start and with one case of infantile paralysis here I ‘ and several in the south part of ' the county, it behooves every one ! to keep a sharp look out and to call the family physician as soon as the child complains of a stiff neck, lias an unusual thirst or develops a fever. The disease is not as serious as it was a few years ago as medical science has donel much towards treating it but it certainly is not an ailment that any one can afford to meet lightly.

It will avoid folding the goods and will look much neat-, er. Ironing Linen Suits Iron the inner pockets and the heavy seams first, when pressing linen suits. This will do away with creases when the garments are given the final touches. An Appetizer An excellent appetizer can be i made by combining orange juice land gingerale.

They forage in waste ; baskets and find deadly instruments there, and their little fingers explore in such things as open wall sockets. A favorite sport with them is to pull off tablecloths and to crash to the floor in the landslide which results. This same curiosity leads them to pick an opportune moment for an expedition into the forbidden medicine chest. Wiht amazing ingenuity : they imbibe poisons aud chew on jdangerous pills.

I however, that the Indiana program j may be expanded somewhat, par ' ! ticularly by establishment of i , new division of distributive occtpations training for which $29,89. was allotted. . The new division —which would be employed for training young persons in various branches ot . sales work —may not be started I until after school activities hav > j I begun this fall, but this point has not been decided definitely. MeMurray said "There can be no great expansion in vocational training in In-| diana because teachers are not , available." the superintendent I said. "Practically all the vocation- j al teachers are already employed. McMurray added that "1 can see no reason to spend all the money allotted to Indiana." He pointed out that last school! year the state spent $187,949 ot federal money for vocational work Vocational education is provided I in Indiana in four already opera- i tive divisions. These are agricul-1 ture. trades and industries, home . i economics and teacher training.
