That's a third higher thuu the Decatur rate. Don't litter the streets with paper. The city pays a force of men and provides equipment to keep the streets clean and tidy and the cooperation of individuals must be * ' given. Clean streets speak well for a town. When the wheels in the big sugar fa<Jory start moving next Saturday and a force of about 300 men is given employment, the roster of employed in Decatur will hit the 1,700 or 1.800 mark. That's going some In a town of 6.000. The boys of the 139th Field ti.fery of which "Company A” was a nuit will gather here for their annual convention. October 2nd and 3rd: It wilt be a happy occasion for the veterans and the local members will prove hospitable and entertaining hosts. Recently a traffic check-up was ' made in Indiauapolis. Ten cars were stopped. The drivers were traveilug nearly 70 miles an hour ; and all except one had no place in j mind as to destination. Much of the hurry and bustle iu this couu-' try is useless. We travel at breakneck speed and most of us don't go wny place, Safe travel is largely sp to the individual. Fort Wayne complains of too much thievery, many of the crimes • I beffig traced to young boys. Youths who start with stealing, generally ' continue until they commit a more serious crime aud land in jail. It does not pay to violate the law and boys who never commit the first offense, need not worry about going wrong. Keep your hands clean, so to speak, and your conscience will be at rest. Jwpun keeps up its ruthless destruction of Chinese cities and killing of inhabitants. Its sole object of the invasion is to acquire terri-; tory aud its seems that it would be., cheaper and more human to negotiate for a strip of land or an island, than the present method of ruining the cities before they are captured. Thousands of innocent women aud children are killed by bombs and the suffering of the people must be terrible. ——— l ———■— CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to grive old and new address when ordering ' paper changed from one ' address to another. < For example: If you change your address 4 from Decatur R.

Kentucky has a murder and | ! scandal. General Denhardt, prom- ; | meat resident of the state was shot and killed, presumably by the j brothers of the girl whom Den- ! hardt was accused of murdering. Denhardt was acquitted nnd ltj j seems that the act of the girl's | j brothers is In keeping with the old ! | Kentucky feud spirit ot getting their man. But that does not clear their of ihurder. They will have | to stand trial and for the rest of j ! their lives be haunted by the | j thought of having killed another] | person. * The total tax rate payable In De- j catur next year is about as low as it can be figured, if such items as j poor relief, schools, fire and police 1 protection, street upkeep and counI ty and township expenses, which i are included in the rate are paid ] for. The $2 maximum rate, over J j and above levies for bonds and i welfare relief, cannot be met with- j out reducing all the budgets aud i levies which go to make up the | $2.47 total. Chances arc that in a j year or two the Decatur rate will j ; not exceed two dollars on the hun-1 dred, exclusive of these levies exempt under the law. School costs are coming down and county poor relief costs should come down iu the next few years, due to old age pensions und better employment | . conditions. Police und the sheriff have rc- { celved complaints from owners of filling stations located near crossing stop aud go signs. When the 1 driver comes up to the crossing l and the light is red, he uses the j firivate drive in turning Into the line of traffic. This creates a hazard to attendants around the filing salions. At the most, the red lights hold traffic back less than a min-1 ute audit's good for your nerves to stop that long and then take your turn. The traffic signals are so timed as to accommodate the heaviest line of travel over the, principal streets and naturally the less used streets must be timed accordingly. A few seconds delay will not make mueb difference in your arrival any place, even iu time of emergency. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Teat Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦ 1.

CORN PRICES : CLIMB TODAY All Transactions In September Corn Are Ordered Reported Chicago S«pt. 22 -(UP)- The j pri e of September corn, the last, of the 1936 crop, climbed 5 5 8 cents to sl.lO 1-4 today as traders grahb- j ed up supplies In anticipation of settlement day next Monday. Sudden activity in old corn was resumed today after the conimodit) exchange administration had issued orders that all transactions In the September future made up to and including Monday on the Chicago board of trade should be reported iu detail. The CEA action was te.ken as on afermath to the attempted “corner” in September corn which failed last week through efforts of the board of trade to halt the “squeeze.". Prices were slightly higher in trading Monday and yesterday al- j though there were indications that tradefs were beginning to make set- , dements on the contracts in advance of the settlement Day, Sept. , 27. Buying orders today, however, were ahead of actual offers to sell , in the sudden jump in price aud traders were expected to push prices still higher. Reports on the street were that the SAE action was taken in anticipation of any complaints that may arise next week as a result of the attempted "corner.” Officials o ft he government bur- I cau announced iu Washington that the investigation was begun "because we want to see who is in the , market and what they are doing.” Pprevlouely it was said that any evidence of attempted market "manipulation” would bring punitive action against the guilty. RESUME TALKS ON WAGE FIGHT Committee Bends Efforts To Avert Indiana Coal Mine Strike Terre Haute. Ind., Sept. 22.—(U.1?) —Discussion of a five months wage dispute which threatens to provoke a strike of 13.000 Indiana coal miners will be resumed here today before a three-member committee of the international executive board of the United Mine Workers union. John O'Leary. Pittsburgh, chairman of the committee named by John L. Lewis, international president of the mine union, said the group “went over quite a few points” at the initial session yes- 1 terday but had not reached any decision. O'Leary said the purpose of the committee was to “investigate justification for a strike” of Indiana coal miners but added that the | members would make every effort ]to avert the walkout and bring about agreement between district union officials and Indiana coal operators. Members of the scale committee of district No. 11. U. M. W. last week petitioned international headquarters' for authority to call a strike when negotiations with operators for a new wage and hoar contract seemed hopelessly deadlocked. Lewis dispatched the three international board members to the
