Next Monday is Labor Day and then school, court and other activities. It's time to buckle down and do things. Further violations of the laws may make hard liquor an issue in the next campaign as the rumblings can be plainly heard now by those who “take the cotton out of their ears." A hot finish in the National league pennant race with Chicago's Cubs and New York's Giants battling it out nip and tuck. The odds still favor the Cubs but it's nothing to brag about. Just a few weeks until the opening of the annual sugar campaign, another event which means much to every one in this community, the employment of several hundred men and a market for the beet crop. Don't drive a car when under the influence of liquor. That's a serious crime for if an accident occurs you are in bad right from the start. You not only endanger yourself but you make it unsafe for any body else to be out. Governor Townsend is not a dictator and doesn't believe in it but he does believe that every public officials is a servant of those who elected him and he proposes to proceed along that line. Such a man on such a platform can't go far wrong. It's September and summer will be over in another couple of weeks. Then beautiful autumn for three i months giving you the opportunity to get ready for the cold waves that are sure to come. Best to start now to fill the fuel bins and the food larder. When the various boards have completed their task of reviewing budgets, the numerous units of the county will have reasonable tax rates and there is nothing more important. A low tax rate attracts those who are wisely seeking the best place to locate and invest in and that adds to the value of every thing we have. Os course Senator VanNuys has the right to be a candidate for renomination. No one will deny him that. Also any one who so desires may run against him. That's democracy and any one who w-ishes to may support him or not, as he sees fit, after hearing the arguments and reading the record. That's fair enough, isn't it? CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and qew t address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you I change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to ' Decatur R. R. 2, instruct i us to change the paper j from route one to route two.

Due credit to Farr, but why deride Louis? He also stayed the fifteen rounds and was given a unanimous decision on points. No . champion has ever murdered hit J opponents in the first few rounds each time he entered the ring, t Louis has a pretty good record ' and it the bout was on the level, | there is nothing to complain about. ■ i Tommy Farr isn't such a clown J as many sports writers described ; him. He got a cold fifty thousand, • i all taxes paid, for his hour in the j ring with Joe Louis and came out ) us fresh as most fighters do who battle for less money. And don’t overlook the fact that he built up a place in the Suu that will give him a nice purse in his next big match. Chicago schools will not open ; next week as planned or until of--1 flcials there feel that the danger from infantile paralysis has pass- • ed. While there are only thirty I cases there, eighteen of them were . reported yesterday. The diseaese I has increased in numbers throughout the country and experts are planning to fight it with every > available means. i ' The life of a sincere public serr vant is never easy and a case in [ i point is the complete nervous i breakdown of Governor Murphy of Michigan. He has had a strenuous year, has been abused by ' those opposed to his views and is ' now a patient in a California hos- ' pital from where comes word that he is insisting on being taken home that he may continue his fight. In Indiana 750.000 school children are winding up their vacaj tions this week and will return to . | the school rooms next Monday and . • ’ Tuesday. A new text book to be > used in the eighth grades all over the state is "Living Safely." Five other text books along similar lines have been adopted by the 1 state board of education and any 1 one of those may be used. The 1 idea is to teach the children howto live safely. Caring for the insane, the feeble minded and the epileptics is a tremendous responsibility for the state of Indiana. And the cost is startling. Taxpayers who grumble about paying out so much money for support of the state seldom stop to think where the money is spent. But getting back to the institutions for mental cases, Indiana has eight of them. In these institutions are a total of 11,123 patients, of which 5,580 are male and 5,543 are female. In the penal and correctional institutions there are 6,591 inmates. Os this number only 413 are women and 6,178 are men or boys. In the mental and penal institutions are a total of 19,714 persons, or a thousand more persons than in the entire city of Logansport. Death stalked along the highway near Goshen Tuesday noon and carelessness was the cause. The driver of a big sedan crashed a red light and dashed in front of an east bound Greyhound bus loaded with passengers. Five were killed. two fatally hurt and twentyfive more seriously injured. The ( diiver was killed so that no action taken by law will help now but every one who puts his hands on a steering wheel should again take a solemn vow with himself to watch every approach, every curve, every angle from which danger can come. With cars doing up to ninety miles on the roads, with many cross roads improved, with more cars than ever in all time, we have a problem that must be solved. It still looks like the only way it can be done is by legislat-, ing governors on cars and building one way highways. o Michigan Peaches Thursday and Friday mornings BIGGER AND BETTER WHOLESALE FRED BUSCHE Phone 975 207t2 .

I “Beyond to the north, is marked ■ the site of the humble log cabin where she led him for a little while ! along the path to greatness.” From the grave a winding path ’ leads to another knoll on which a bronze replica of the foundation logs and the hearth, marks the site of the cabin to which Thomas Lincoln brought his family from Kentucky. The original hearth- | stones, excavated during the placI ing of the marked, are a part of the memorial. Across the highway from the memorial area is Lincoln state I park with its borders encompass ing parts of the Thomas Lincoln farm and other points which gain in historical interest from their asi sociation with the boyhood of tW Great Emancipator.
