A special session of congress would tire the public as much as is would the members and get no where, so what's the use? The editors are enjoying a two day vacation at French Lick but of course there will be some important conferences and plans will be started for the next year campaign. Get some fried chicken ready, load up the boys and girls and mom and go to the state fair. It will be the best day you ever spent for you can enjoy it from start to finish any way you prefer. Think this isn’t a land of opportunity? Consider Joe Lewis and his bank roll. An unheard of colored boy two or three years ago. he is now independently rich. Couldn't have done that in Africa probably. Just another week of vacation and then we must roll up our sleeves, start back to school or start hitting the ball for business. Schools, court, county boards and other organizations will be getting under way. It s time to be thinking about it. With major constructions going on at the Soya Bean yards and the General Electric plant and with a hundred other improvements being made in this city, there can be little guessing that we are growing and going. This is the best city of 5,000 to 10,000 we know of and its going to get better. Make your plans accordingly. Merchants who get their copy ready over the week end and start next week off with invitations to the public to trade with them, will be agreeably surprised at the increase the cash register shows when they; total up at the end of the week. Remember this is the period when the average family is getting the youngsters ready for the fall and winter, preparatory to the opening of school. While we are rebuilding business institutions, it will be wise if we give due attention to the church, in many cases these have been neglected during the strenuous years of the past decade when making a living was a puzzle to the average person. Now that the economic situation has improved, it will show the greatest wisdom if this part of society is restored to the point whene they can be of greatest good. Improvements, including new ad | ditions to several of the largest industries here shows that times are CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering j paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you 1 change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2. instruct <*> to change the paper from route one to route > t tWO.

not only back to normal but far' ahead, that conditions are improv j ing and that we are right at the most prosperous times ever known here and elsewhere in the land. More men and women, hundreds j t of them are to be given employ ' t ment and we will soon be figuring • . how long the focre will work a 1 day rather than how few hours | they will put in. ——►-a.jw n in ■■ n ■ ) When Herbert Hoover set out ' ! what he termed as three major ) weaknesses of the Republican parity, he listed failure to take youth 1 into party counsels as one of them. 1 Athough we have usually found Hoover wrong, this time we are forced to arree with him. However. we doubt whether Hoover's advice will be heeded. After the' disastrous G. O. P. defeat in 1932, the Hoosier Republicans placed a : young Frankfort attorney at the * controls, and it must be said that in 1934 they made a creditable . showing in the state campaign.. ’ But old age, in G. O. P. politics. , has to be served, so the young | . chairman was forced out and Ivan C. Morgan, who led the part to such a complete defeat in 1932. > was put back in. Then the youth ; movement in the Indiana Republi- . cans received another set-back. I Harry Fenton was kicked out as . secretary and a man who is a grandfather was given Fenton's place. However, the Republicans .. were not yet satisfied and went i completely anti-youth by forcing Morgan's resignation and turning the chairmanship over to a 66-year-old Danville lawyer. The Republicans in Indiana have no place for young men and women in their organization. 1 SAVING DEMOCRACY The cure for the evils of democ-i L racy. That was the message of . President Roosevelt to the nation when he named the enemies of 1 democratic government. In the list he placed the U. S. Chamber of f Commerce, the Liberty League, ■ the manufacturers association. I To those who believe that the President has weakened in his position, this was the answer. ‘ I seek no change in the form of American government. Majority rule must be presented as the safe guard of liberty and civilization. "Under it property can be made! more,secure; under it abuses can end; under it order can be maintained—and all of this for the cog- 1 ent reason that to the average of our citizenship can be brought a life of greater opportunity, of greater security, of greater happiness.” This was his clear cut challenge to those who have raised the fear of dictatorship, who talked of oneman power. It was his answer to those who are fighting the NewDeal and what it means. It was an invitation to the common man . to rally to the support of his pro- [ gram and policies. In these stirring days, it is a , message to remember. There will be more attacks to repel, more assaults. as he presses for measures ' s to carry out what he believes to I ! be best for the country. But it is. , over all, a complete answer to the autocracy of wealth.

This treatment, will give them a sweet, fresh odor that is very pleasant upon retiring. Drippings To make drippings from highlyflavored foods sw-eet and tasteless, fry a few- slices of raw potato in them. This will also take away the flavor of rancidness. Slip Covers Use old night dresses as slip covers for good dresses, as a protection against dust. o WORKING GIRL BEST AS WIFE, CORNELL CIEW Ithaca, N. Y. —(UP) — To assure

la successful marriage, marry a girl i who has worked before becoming. ;a bride, Cornell University’s departi ment of rural social organization advises potential husbands. ! Girls who. before marriage, were active in community affairs, or who I were responsible housekeepers in ! their own homes, are also “good | bets.” "The poorest bet of all," accordling to the department, "is the girl ■ who, after finishing school, stays at I home with &?■ resposnibility either •in the home, or on a job, or in a i community." i Future husbands were also dis- | cussed by the department. Husbands with a record of regular employment and a lively inter- . lest in their jobs are one and onehalf times more likely to have a well-adjusted marriage. Th-'-se who earn at least $l5O a month at the time of marriage. Husbands who have saved be- • tween SSOO and SI,OOO at the time of , marriage are better bets than those 1 with no savings. More important. • however, than the actual amount | saved is a consistent policy of saving. Husbands and wives with similar soc-ial and cultural back-grounds are more likely t* be more successful in mariage, while those who parIticipate in organized community life ' ■ seem more likely, to succeed. ) Developed hobbies and interests help make a marriage successful.
