No paper Monday as business generally ceases in observation of the holiday dedicated to labor. The violent death list in Indiana has reached the point that the week day list equals the week end | reports of a few years ago. Those who look towards Herbert I Hoover to lead them out of the] wilderness probably feel he led I them in and ought to know how to back track. China is having more than her share of difficulties these days i with war, storms, typhoons, earth j quakes and about every thing im-! aginable to make living difficult. One more day to get the youngs-■ ters ready for school and the local stores will be glad to help you make the job an easy one. They have the goods, the styles and the prices. The Cubs get back to Chicago a full game behind the Giants but with twenty-one games on the home lot. Many fans believe they I will start a winning streak that ‘ will land them well out in front. The gas franchise asked by the Northern Indiana Public Servicei Company will probably bo granted at the regular council meeting Tuesday night but with proper provisions to the benefit of the local citizens. A Chicago man is under arrest for riding a bicycle while drunk. He used the wrong vehicle for a bicycle guided by an intoxicated man, is sure to wobble while a car : driven at seventy sticks to the road until it hits something. Jimmy Braddock and Maxie Baer are ,going to fight at Madison Square next month, each trying a comeback. The gate will look some what insignificant to these boys, who as world champions could have gotten as much for an exhibition. Now that Gov. Bibb Graves has appointed bis wife to a seat in the United States senate, the Terre Haute Tribune wants to know whether it’s proper to designate them as Governor and Mrs. Graves or should it be the Senator and Mr. Graves. One of the best signs we can see is that although business is gradually improving all over the country, the stock market does not go crazy, due very probably to the 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 from route one to route two.

•— - r regulations from Washington ■ which were designed for Just that purpose of holdink stocks to the real value of their earning capa-I • city. Stand on one of the principal t corners here most any time of the ■ day and watch the traffic whirl by t I and you will realize that we have | many problems to solve. Be sure to | ’ warn the children again and again ■ i about the danger of darting across ‘ • the street in the middle of a block 1 and also teach them how to read I i the signals and follow them. ■ ' Down in Greene county Lew Good is the Democratic chairman and a live wire. He originated an idea recently for securing chairs for headquarters, putting on a campaign in which three hundred ardent Democrats each gave one dollar, the price of a chair. Many of the dollars came from outside sources, even the governor sendI ing in one. Not a bad idea. Monday is Labor Day and to I celebrate that event most of us will •’knock off ” laboring. The day should be a very happy one for I those who really work with their | hands for it has been a long time, j since there was so much work available and wages so satisfactory | in the average factory. The future looks bright and most every one I is happy. The state fair opened this morn , ing and will continue for eight days, a big show, growing better each year as more and more I people from over the state become I interested. Hundreds from each j county now attend the big annual event and enjoy it from the time , they enter the gates. If you miss it, you miss the greatest fair in the middle west. We noticed a luckless driver flash past a stop sign and around a corner at fifty miles an hour or thereabouts. That’s what causes accidents and makes it difficult to handle the traffic problem. The i laws and ordinances must be ob- ' served and it looks as though the best way to do that is to make numerous arrests and the courts I then apply the maximum punishment instead of the minimum. The average person knows little about international affairs or the 1 various entanglements, nor does he care, but he is deeply interested in Uncle Sam keeping his feet out of traps constantly being laid to get him in. Nothing would suit many I of the diplomats and schemers betI ter than to see this nation placed where they would have to get in or appear yellow. We ought to follow the detour signs. cA stranger coming through Decatur noticed the activities and stopped to inquire about it. As a result he spent several hours here, toured ihe factory district and decided he would like to live in Decatur. He stated before leaving he would return next week to arrange to do that. This is a fine city in a wonderful county, with an excellent labor market and low tax rates as compared to other cities. Keep the good work going. ' ’ Walter C. Boetcher. new mayor 1 of Indianapolis seems as happy as does John W. Kern over the promotion of the latter to the federal tax board. It is reported that the state administration and the Marion county workers are also pleased and that the entire affair was a satisfactory one. Mr. Boetcher as city controller of Indianapolis has a good record and it is believed will continue the high standard of municipal government set up by Mayor Kern and his predecessor j Mayor Sullivan. o Nudists Open Tea Shops London.-— (U.R> —Enthusiasts of nudism have provided the home office and the.police with a vexing problem. In and around London nudists have opened tea shops and clubs. There is no secrecy about 1 them, for they are openly advertis- ’ ed and visitors aye invited. ‘
