The showers Saturday cooled us off and freshened the fields. Don’t cross the streets in the middle of the blocks and watch the corners. That will help solve the traffic problem. Labor Day is over and that's always the signal to get back to the duties after the vacation season. There is much to do and everybody seems anxious to get it done. Let s go. The racing program at the state fair this week is one of the best you will find any where in the country. It's the grand circuit and the purses are good ones, attracting the fastest trotters and racers. Boy Scouts from Adams, Jay. Huntington and Wells county will gather at Bluffton September 18th for a district round-up and the boys are anticipating a big time. It's tine training for the lads and a lot of fun. • Large sums of money are being spent by people who work and live in Decatur and vicinity and the merchants can get in on it by advertising. Offer a few specials and see how gratifying the results are and then keep it up. Dog days are about over but it 1 is wise to watch the canines. If they show signs of being cross keep them tied up. Several people , have been bitten here the past two' weeks and at this time of year, that | might be serious. Farmers don't fool with labor j striker when the marketing of their j products is at stake. In Columbus. ; Indiana, and Columbia City, they; marched in and took possession j over the pickets, setting the wheels in motion and showing they meant business. The best way to go forward during the autumn season if you are in business or have something you want to sell, is to advertise. Our columns will take care of you at low cost and your message will reach many thousand people in this trading radius. Youngsters who ride bicycles must be careful. If they use the sidewalks they should remember that pedestrians have the first rights and if they ride in the streets, they should be careful to keep well over on their own side and keep their eyes open for cars. Thirteen people have been killed in Adams county in automobile 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 i two.

accidents this year and three Ad-' ams county people killed out of the county as compared to nine last year. That's a record we can t | ■ boast about und should make every | one awaken to the seriousness of, the traffic problem. ==—==■> The state highways will continue to operate through Decatur and 1 how long that will continue will ’ depend largely on how well we , observe traffic regulations. When i the public complains sufficiently. 1 they get what they want and of l I course too much delay in traffic or I too many slow-ups, will make them holler. Move the tramps and hoboes • along. Report them to police and don't harbor them. Most of them are worthless fellows who won't work if given the opportunity and there is no reason for the.’a impos- > ing on the community now. Petty | thefts, insults to little girls, begg-, ; ing and general “mooching'' are • charged against them. Chicago is still alarmed over the j > epidemic of infantile paralysis, which continues unabated, with . fourteen new cases reported last Friday. On the same day twentytwo others were under observation, ■ having shown symptoms of the ■ dreaded ailment. It's a good time . to avoid crowds and to be careful ' ' | about where and what you eat. The appointment of J. Henry l Faurote to be vice commander for ■ the southern part of the Fourth j district, is pleasing to his many friends in this city and county. As ; commander of Adams Post 43, American Legion. Mr. Faurote made| an excellent record and his ability as a leader was well demonstrated. He will make good in his new job and should continue to advance. ' The dismissal of Matt Leach as • : chief of the state police because of I his failure to cooperate with the federal "G-men '. indicates that the state board intends to build a real ’ l police squad, that will in all ways : work with others engaged in the same line of duty. Mr. Leach of | course is entitled to offer his own defense but in the meantime. Walter Eckert, well qualified, has been promoted to his place and will have charge of the field. The new general safety committee with Walter Gard as chairman, j has adopted a two-point program with which to start their drive in , Decatur. They will strive to make I crossings safe for school children ' and a special committee will study 1 hazardous intersections and recom- | mend such steps as they feel will ' aid. It's a splendid movement and i Mr. Gard and his associates may | feel certain of the approval and support of every citizen. John L. Lewis is attacking Presi- ( dent Roosevelt, Mayor Kelly of Chicago and Governor Davey of Ohio for their positions during the | steel strike. There is indications he is slipping for when one puts up a yelp such as his recent one, something is Out of gear. His 1 threats of reprisals in next year's elections are not taken seriously ,I for after all the average laboring . man knows that he has the best friends in power he has ever had and he will not take foolish chances , of going back to the old days. o—- * Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ ♦ Zinc Polish A good polish for zinc tan be made as follows: Stir rye bran into boiling water to the consistency of paste, then add a hand ful of silver sand and a 'little vitriol.

Technical problems still confront studios in making color movies but these are gradually being solved and color now appears to be as inevitable as talkies were in 1929.

BRADY SEARCH IS CONTINUED Midwestern Search For Al Brady Gantf Is Continued Indianapolis. Sept 7 — <U.R) The search tor the notorious Al i Brady gang of killers and thieves, I recently hailed as the nation s ranking public enemies, continued throughout the middle west today after a "tip" Sunday that 50 G-men were concentrated in northern Indiana in search of the mob fixxled out. Donald F. Stiver, superintendent | of the state police who notified Matt Leach of his dismissal as captain of the force Saturday after a secret state police board meeting, said that the purported tip given federal agents “developed into nothing " According to reports. Brady and his henchmen, James Dalhover and Clarence Lee Schaffer, have gone to Chicago from time to time to hide out with their girls. While there, it was said, they have disposed of loot and obtained medical attention. They reportedly fled to Chicago after being flushed from a hideout at Baltimore, Md.. a month ago. Two of the gang are believed to have been wounded in recent gun I battles. The government has posted a reward of *1.500 each for their apprehension. Stiver said that the "hot tip" was not expected to produce any further developments. Meanwhile, no date has been set for the hearing demanded by Leach before the state board as to why he was so suddenly and rather mysteriously fired. The date will be set by Stiver and the board shortly, it was believed. Leach was at his home briefly j yesterday and said that he had feared for his job several times I for political reasons but that his ( sudden dismissal has "stunned" i him. Leach was dismissed at the re- ( quest of J. Edgar Hoover, head of the federal bureau of investigation at Washington, who threatened to i "sever connections with the Indi- ' ana state police" in the Brady J hunt unless the captain was oust- , ed, it was said. Hoover charged that I .each ■ interfered with G-men and had ordered key witnesses and underi world informants to tell nothing To Make Good Pickles Use ESTELLE'S B. 4 B.

SUPREME DICTATOR-ELECT, LOYAL ORDER OF MOOS!

Cleveland. Ohio, September I William J- Egan, Assistant Attorney General of New Jersey, was today i unanimously elected Supreme Die- | tator of the Loyal Order of Moose by the delegates to the 49th Annual In- I ternational Convention of this fra- I ternlty. His one-year term of office begins Immediately. Mr. Egan Is fully qualified for this I Important office, the highest elective post In the Moose. He has had much experience In serving bis fellow men by assuring their security and comfort. While Director of Public Safety for the City of Newzrk, N. J., he was dally concerned with their welfare. As Supreme Dictator of the Moose, he charges himself with the additional responsibility of i helping to care for widows and I orphans and for the aged—two vast . missions of this world-wide frater-, nity, as expressed in tbe Moose child city of Mooseheart, in Illinois, I and in Moosehaven, the Moose home j for the aged in Florida. An interesting fact about Mr. Egan's successful career is that he | began it within one hundred miles of bls present home. Lambertville. | N. J., where he was born on June 9, 1888, is on the extreme western side of the State, overlooking the Delaware river. Newark is on the eastern side. Hence, while others . went far afield to seek fortune, Mr. i Egan found his horizon, figuratively, just over the hill. Attending St. John's Parochial School and Riders College at Tren-, 1 ton, he next went to the New Jersey . Law School and upon graduation he became a member of the New Jersey ! State Bar. He began to practice law in Newark and his practice resulted in much success. Blessed with a charming personality as well as a keen insight into human affairs, it was but* logical that his fellows should choose him for city clerk and it was but a step from that position to his present one.
