Wann days and cool nights, good growing weather and just about normal, so enjoy it while you can. Fourteen foot stocks of corn with three to five ears on a stock indicates that the crop in Adams county ought to be a fair one even if it doesn’t break all records. Drive along a macadam or gravel road these days and you will wonder what became of all the water that fell the past few months. The dust will swallow you like a cloud. One way to avoid accidents over the week end seems to be to get home before dark and in various parts of the country that kind of a campaign is being made. Statistics show that most of the serious accidents occur at dusk or later. New Jersey now has a law preventing the making of home brew. If they don’t have any more success in enforcing it than the federal government had. they have wasted whatever time and money was spent to enact the legislation. Make the hoboes go to work or move on. Idle men are no good to a community and not of much account to themselves. There is plenty of work for able bodied men these days and there is no reason for those who go slinking around, begging for food or clothing. The radio is one of the most popular of all modern inventions and a source of entertainment to all of us. However it can be made a nuisance by turning it on tooi loud and permitting it go lull' blast when neighbors are trying to rest. Remember the Golden Rule. Not men but principles is the thing that counts in politics and government and that is the theory of Governor Townsend. We must either have faith in President RooseVfelt and his titanic euort to help the undernourished and the under cared for people or we are against it. Senator Van Nuys has not been read out of the Democratic party and will, we do not doubt, continue to be a Democrat as long as he lives because he can’t help it. That is a part of him. He is crossways with the various organizations and will no doubt explain his position in a public speech soon, with much interest to every one. Then the fight will be on. A two days institute for the teachers of Adams county was concluded last evening and it is reCHANGE , OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give oid and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. i For example: If you change your address from Decatur R.

ported to have been one of the ■ most interesting ever held here. County Superintendent Striker carefully selected instructors am ■ lecturers from whom the most i helpful suggestions could be had and from the many favorable comments we have heard, succeeded even beyond expectations. During the first thirty-three weeks of this year, according to, the U. S. Public Health Service, infantile paralysis from the Gulf of Mexico to Ontario is twice as I prevalent as a year ago. The figures show 3,444 cases as compared to 1,454 during the same weeks of j last year. Some progress has been made in preventing the disease but! increased travel is given as the cause for the increased number of cases. Motor vehicles killed 20.690 people in this country during the first seven months of the year, it has, just been reported by the National Safety Council. That’s an increase of 2.270 over the same period last \ year and is somewhat discouraging to those who have been leading the fight for greater care and safety. Os course there is an increase of twelve per cent in motor , mileage, which accounts somewhat for the same percentage gain in fatalities. Tommy Farr, Welshman and fistic champion of England, was a joke until he met Joe Louis, the j brown bomber in New York City Monday night. Now' he is any thing but a joke and sports writers who a few days ago were wise cracking about him. now consider him a real contender for the championship belt. He went fifteen rounds with Louis and by many was considered the best of the two. though the decision went to Joe. He will make more money out of his next match and will attract a better crowd than the 35,000 which paid to see him mix it up this week. | THE FEAR OF DEBT: Again an effort is made to arouse' opposition to the administration at I Washington by raising the bogey of the national debt, some thirtysix billions of dollars, and the declaration that no country can continue under such a load of interest. They ask for a balanced budget, which is another way of saythat the country shall go on a cash basis. Suppose it were necessary to pay the entire debt in a single year. During the present year, the national income will be around 80 billions of dollars. In 1930, the last year of Hoover, it was but 32 bil- . lions. If we look upon the ledger, we j could pay, by going back to the standards of living in that year, with its penury and want, its hunger and destitution, and pay the entire amount and still have a few billions left. Os course, no such course could be followed, for there is not enough currency in the nation to pay the national debt and interest. If we stopped spending the prices by which the new national income was obtained would drop and there would be chaos and bankruptcy. But the nation has increased its buying power by the process of using the credit of the nation. New factories and industries have been built. A market is found for the things people need. They have been permitted to make them and to buy them. Just as fifty millions of dollars disappeared in 1930. leaving no trace, the added 15 billions of debt will return. The secret of business is buying power. Money spent to restore that power is well spent. o Seasickness Fought 40 Years Berkeley, Cal.— (U.R) —After trying for 40 years to overcome seasickness by sailing around the Horn, sailing his own boat to Honolulu and back and sticking to sailing every moment be could, W. P. Bennett has weakened. His boat is for sale. He admits he has never made a sea trip without hanging over the rail. —o Trade In a Good Town —Decatur

When a bride-to-be attends a shower given in her honor, and thanks each one who presents her with a gift, is it necessary for her to also write notes of thanks? A. No. In this case a verbal “thank you" to each one is sufti- , cient. But genuine appreciation must be shown, and a girl must i be very tactful in showing no par- j itiality to any certain gifts, paying ; ’ less attention to others. Q. Should one say, “A lady (or a woman) camie ino my office today”? j A. It is proper to say, “A w> | man." Others must take It for : granted that she was a lady. ' Q. Is it all right for one to greet

EX-OILLIN6ER PABTNHKIILED Edward Singleton Killed By Railroad Train Last Night Mooreavilie, Ind.. Sept I—<U.R> ~ -Edward Singietou, partner In crime of the late notorious John Dillinger, was killed by a south bound Pennsylvania railroad freight train near here late last night. Singleton, 45 years old and a WPA worker, was sitting on the railroad track eating a lunch when the train ground him to death. It was far less spectacular than the j demise of Dillinger In 1934 The train crew was unaware of the accident and did not halt the train. Dillinger and Singleton met years ago when Dillinger was just fresh from his father's farm. They planned and carried out a grocery robbery but were caught shortly afterwards as they sat together in a stairway boasting of the crime. Dillinger pleaded guilty and received a sentence of 10 to 20 years i in prison from J. M. Williams, former Morgan county circuit judge. Singleton, wise in the ways of the law, obtained a change of
