Evidently Tennessee is satisfied with their present liquor regulation, whatever they are. The extremely hot weather is about over but you may expect several weeks of glorious autumn The football season is really on today with many major teams in action and this sport will grow in : popularity from now until Thanksgiving season.' If you must get drunk, stay a way from the steering wheel of your car or expect your license to be suspended, besides a fine and perhaps imprisonment. The Cubs went down fighting in their final session with their old rivals, the New York Giants and during the three days provided plenty of thrills to more than a hundred thousand fans. The old thermometer ran up past the ninety mark this week and those who had put away their summer duds, soon dug them out again. Enjoy it while you can. The sugar factory opened today with a good supply of beets on hand and more arriving steadily. Indications are that it will be a wonderful run. much to the satisfaction of every one in this community. The new lights at Five Points is one of the finest improvements made recently. The lights as first put up could only be seen from a point facing the light but the new ones can be seen from any point, a great aid to pedestrians as well as to drivers. Pshaw, Mr. Hoover announces he will not be a candidate for president in 1940. After his big convention next spring, he probably won't want to try to patch up all the differences. It's just as hard for Republican conservatives and Progressives to get together now as it was in 1912. They just don't think alike. Decatur boys and girls who are members of the high school band are enjoying a day at Fort Wayne where Frank Simon, director of the Armco band is leading more than a thousand youngsters in a mass band festival. We venture the prediction that the local musicians will hold their own with all others present With nune hundred thousand automobile licenses issued in IndCHANGE 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. '

iana and only a million driver's 11-1 censes, it looks as though some folks may be cheating and the state police may make quite a haul one of these days. This little tip ought to be sufflcient to waru those who are taking a chance of driving without the legal right to I do so. The state tax board will be in session here next Tuesday afternoon to listen to the petitioners I for larger appropriations than permitted under the law for Washing- | ton, St. Marys. Root and Jefferson townships. It is a part of the rou- ' tine necessary to comply with the j laws and a safety procedure all a- | round. Those interested will take due notice and govern themselves . accordingly. — The advertisements run in Chicago papers, telling how to get tickets for the world series are 1 interesting because of the price*, tickets for three games—you have to buy three or nothing—selling at $16.50 to »19.50. A few years ago that would have sounded ridiculous but now since the people have some money, are willing to pay for their sport. The only trouble with the announcements is that it looks very much as though all the games will be played in New York City. President Roosevelt is touring ; the west and is no doubt sincere in his announcement that it is jus* an annual jaunt that he thinks the chief executive of the nation 'should make that he may know what the nation is doing and thinking. So far be has not discussed the court measure or any of the other numerous problems which the metropolitan press has said he would but he is doing a lot of listening and thinking, that he may continue to make good on his job. According to unofficial dupe, : James A. Farley is to resign as postmaster general and will become an executive with the Pierce Arrow automobile company. He will however remain on the job a ' couple of months and will also continue as national and New York state Democratic chairman. He is a wonderful fellow and if he can do as good a job for the auto company as he has done for his political party and as he has recorded as a member of the cabinet, he will soon be one of the outstanding business men of America and that's what will probably happen. Another terrible accident is recorded. adding to the unusually large list of highway fatalities for this county this year. This time a lad was riding his bicycle along the road, behind a beet truck, while another truck was following. The lad suddenly whirled his wheel over in front of the second truck and the driver could not stop in time 1 to prevent striking him. The lad was instantly killed. The truck overturned and one of its occupants was also crushed. It seems that each community must expect their average toil of these deaths and we can only continue to remind those who use bicycles to be even more careful than heretofore and of course to urge ail drivers to keep control of their cars. These terrible affairs occur so quickly that they can hardly be explained. o ♦ ♦ Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Q. is it all right for a man to carry a dead cigar into a public conveyance of any kind? 4.
