Schools have opened, courts are grinding, business is on up and up here and the autumn period should be a good one for those who make an effort. Since Indianapolis police are enforcing the 20 miles an hour gait for down town traffic, accidents have been reduced 25%. Must be something to the charge that speed is the principal cause for so many casualties. All previous attendance records for the state fair are being broken this year as thousands congregate thereMaily to see the biggest show eVer put on. The fair is an institution now and will continue as long as the great neighborly interest is manifest. This city is progressing and will continue to do so for a long time as is indicated by the proposed addition at the General Electric plant, I the improvements and new buildings at the soya bean factory and sugar plant, the new addition at the Cloverleaf Creameries and the general stir to be found in every factory, shop and store in the community. The serious stroke of apoplexy suffered Saturday by William J. Hosey, four times mayor of the city of Fort Wayne, widely loved for his honesty and his unusual ability as an executive, caused much sorrow here where he is well and favorably known. He is eightythree years old and suffered a broken hip in the fall which followed the stroke. Internal revenue collections in Indiana reached over seven million dollars for August, a gain over the same month last year of more than two million. Who says prosperity hasn't wiggled around the corner? It's here and the question is how long can we continue it. If it can be arranged, the general public, would like to see it made a permanent condition. Perhaps five hundred met death as a result of holiday casualties, most of them due to traffic accidents. More than 350 deaths had been reported up to last evening and the list continued to grow. While there were no serious accidents in this particular vicinity a .total of about fifteen deaths resulted in the northeast section of the state. The battle for safety must go ou. Up to date we haven't made much headway. Tommy Farr's success in stand- . ing up fifteen rounds against Joe 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 Itecatur R. R. 1 to j Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us io change the paper , from route one to route two.

Louis, champion of the world and 1 th* 350,000 net he received for an hour in the ring, will probably ruin him as Wales coal miner. The few sixpence he would receive there in wages would seem paltry to a mar who could garner in a fortune in a few minutes, but don’t forget it ■ was the training in the mines that i toughened him and made is poss- j ible for him to meet the champ' I without fear. Governor Townsend dedicated a new horse barn at the state fair . grounds Sunday and in doing so i used an ear of corn, breaking it against a concrete plaque, in place of the champagne usually used for such ceremonies and in doing so ' said: "I'd rather do this than dedi I cate a battleship with a bottle of: champagne'. I think this corn is more valuable than champagne and ( this building more valuable than a battleship.” There is much food| for thought In those remarks. Congressman Snyder of Pennsylvania wants to build six super highways, three east and west from coast to coast and three north and south. He proposes that these roads be constructed 200 feet wide, of the best material and at an estimated cost of eight billion dollars, i that of course to be distributed over a period of years. It all sounds wonderful and will probably ' come but the expenditure of that : gigantic sum of money before the budget is balanced and the national debt reduced, would not be wise. The Chicago Cubs have shown a million mid west fans the uncer- : tainty of baseball. A month ago they were out in front seven full ; games and looked so secure that thousands were making reserva- j tions for the world series there. After a disastrous road trip and after permitting tail-end teams to knock them off consistently they I are now several games behind the I New York Giants who have come out of a slump and seem to be going smoothly. Looks like those who attend the series this year will have to plan a vacation in the I Empire city. The First Joint State Land Bank ' of Fort Wayne sold 8,212 acres of Indiana land the last year for an | average of $69.46 per acre, an increase of $22.40 over the same period last year. The trend is upward and experts believe that the' present prices are genuine bargains. In this territory agriculture faces its most favorable set-up, with average land, good improvements and an unexcelled market. The | sugar factory and soya bean plant here, together with various splendid dairy industries, is given as one of the big reasons why land here will continue to increase in, price. If farms are not worth the i money here, rest assured they are 1 not any where. President Roosevelt has sent out' an official statement, giving his' position on the sugar bill, which he recently signed. He is deeply | concerned with the interests of . domestic beet and cane growers. The bill originally was intended to : benefit the many thousand farmers in this country who raise cane . and sugar beets but the paid lobb* got busy on behalf of a little group of seabord refiners who won a temporary victory by amending the measure to protect them until March 1940. A gentleman's agreement with leaders of the house and senate was reached and it is expected that the refiners will be checked long before 1940 but any way the President will continue his battle for the farmer and the 1 housewife. o * + I Many Reunions Scheduled For Summer Months < — ♦ Sunday, September 12 Shifferly family reunion O.
