The landscaping of the park at the Decatur Homesteads will add further to the beauty of that addition and to the value of each property there located. This is one of the best lay outs of the entire federal experiment. Got a few steers to sell? If you have, there is nothing to worry about. The price in Chicago is now $18.75 per hundred pounds and a truck load of these animals will provide sufficient to keep the average family a year. The trouble with spending mon-1 ey to aid those who refuse to 1 leave the war sectors of China is ' that when we do so we place our-1 selves in the position of being j drawn Into a war that would cost a million times more than any prestent loss possible. The cash farm income in the United States this year will exceed ryne billion dollars. Evidently the money spent by Uncle Sam to revive the markets and protect the producer, has not all been wasted as many would have us believe, for j a few years of that improvement will enable us to meet most any requirement. Autumn is just around the corner and will arrive next week according to the calendar. It's time to get ready for the winter months which will foUow the golden season of the next few weeks. Local stores can take care of your every want at the lowest prices for what you get and stand ready to back up their goods. The article which appeared recently in the Chicago Daily Times in which it was claimed that an plan to take over the United States. does not alarm many people al-1 though it makes good readlines. The sooner they start something of that kind, the sooner they will be completely wiped out. It costs money to operate hospitals, conduct public welfare programs and do the other things designed to help the public. The demands of the people and the enacted laws, make these tilings necessary and Adams county, long regarded as one of the leaders in the state in every way, will do her part, using care all the time to be as economical as possible. If any of those foreign nations really believe this country is a fraid of them, they will find out in the future as they have in the past, that we have the greatest army in the world if we want to use it. Os course Vhat they want over there is to embroil us so we will have to furnish the men and the money to pull their chestnuts out and that's exactly what we are not going to do. One dose of that medicine was sufficient to lalf us a long time, we hope. While skilled physicians believe mat cool weather wiii aid in the tight against infantile paralysis, it is a peculiar fact that the worst

epidemics have been In the cooler' sections of the north. In Ontario 1 they report 1,249 cases since June I but with only 42 deaths. Chicago , now has 200 cases and the disease seems to be somewhat under control in the Minnesota territories ; where it has caused much worry. ’ The fight will go on of course until the terrible disease is thwarted ; or made harmless. ' . ' i The tax adjustment board will , meet here and in each county in I the state Monday. If you have any ’ complaints or suggestions that will i be helpful it is your duty to attend and express yourself. That's good citizenship and the only other recourse you have is an appeal to the state tax board. In this county in most instances a lot of attention lias been given to the important matter of compiling the budgets and fixing the rates and as a conI sequence the rates generally are lower than-last year. It is one of, ’ the most important acts every good citizen has to show a proper interest in these matters. Increase in employment has reached a new level. From Gary conies word that the steel mills ' are giving more jobs than even in the rush period of 1929. Altogether there are 7,000 more workers em- ■ ployed in that city than in that ! year of the downfall and disaster. I That means, t>f course, that all business is on a new high level. It requires more insurance. Even dentists and doctors have more pati-1 ents. At the same time, the increase in invention has increased ; production to new peaks. The ma | chine age has arrived. It is found , that instead of reducing employ-) I merit, it has increased employment. | but increased the amount of goods purchased even more. Spded, say highway safety •officials, is the cause of a large percentage of automobile accidents. > Acting on this advice, Indianapolis police ordered traffic in downtown , districts to move at 20 miles an i hour and limited speed of private j autos, trucks and buses to 30 miles lan hour in the residential streets. There were plenty of squawks, naturally, from drivers who thought the speed limit was too low. However, since the campaign of re- ' duced traffic speed, auto accidents have been reduced 25 per cent. Leonard Cox, chief ambulance driver at the Indianapolis City Hospital for 20 years, reported he made 20 runs a day in June —before the police drive on speeders —and in August the average was only 15 a day. At last there seems to be a safety campaign which has brought results. The third phase of Governor M. Clifford Townsend's safety program was launched this week with the I adoption of a safety text for eighth grade pupils. The Governor’s safety legislative program was based on the phases of engineering, en-l forcement and education. The Leg-| islature made safety education j mandatory in the eighth grade, i ' The text adopted by the State ' Board of Education, “Living Safely,” was written by Paul F. Bos- ■ ton, Greencastle superintendent of ' schools, and Professor Earl - Bow- ’ man of De Pau w University. It in- ■ eludes chapters on motor vehicle safety, safety in the home, school ! building, at play and on the iarm and first aid, fire prevention, and health and disease. The curricul- * um for safety will be developed by the Department of Public Instruc--1 tion and offered during the second semester. A half-credit in safety education is required for high school students, and the Boat’d approved five texts for use in high > school classes. All Ages Seek Health Austin. Tex. —(UP)— The women’s physical training course at [ the University of Texas has pupils,; from 2% years to 60. Youngest is 1 Eva Rae Higgins, 2*4 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S.
