It is a cooking school reel worth your • time. «- — — The sugar campaign is on and the beets are moving. It adds to the prosperity of a rich and wonderful community. For the next two or three weeks Gehrig and DiMaggio, Hubble and Ott will be more popular than the highest officials or statesmen of the country. Hitler and Mussolini got together over the week-end for a little conference on some little matters of large importance to other nations of Europe. Put your savings into real estate and you will have something. Stocks may go down to zero but if you have land and properties, you can depend on a steady income. Eighty-five per cent of all the fires in this country are caused by carelessness, it is claimed and Fire » Prevention Week which starts * Saturday is to create a sentiment of being more careful. Prisoners at Alcatraz, dumb as they are, should understand that they only make things tougher for themselves when they attack thej warden or go on strike. And they are dumb or they wouldn't be there. Men and machinery at the Central Sugar company plant are on the way to grinding out some twenty million pounds of sugar from eighty thousand tons of beets, a worth-while contract any way you figure it. There is a persistent rumor that big business plan; to cut down production the next several months to influence next year’s election. We don’t believe it for if there is a demand for goods, some one will provide it. The stock market continues to •» slide, which is just as well for the average person who thinks he can ~ make a living buying and selling - stock in the other fellows concern. ... You know if it’s real good, he is going to hang on to it. Daylight saving time in a number of northern Indiana towns and Chicago has completed its run and they arc back to normal, much to the satisfaction of neighbors who 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 routo i -two. 1

believe In sticking to the old ord- ' er. The clocks were changed Sunday morning. The Republican editors held their summer session over the week end, the principal point of discussion being how they can discredit the administration and turn the tide. One difficulty is that they can't agree and consequently the state organization is helpless. Indiana is proud of the fact that she has no bonded indebtedness, though a recent report shows that the other states owe a total of more than three billion dollars. And to prove that this is the best of ’em all, we have a handsome surplus with which to meet any legal requirements that may arise. Ward Hiner, who is an official for a transit company has tossed his hat in the ring as a candidate I for the Republican nomination for mayor of Indianapolis. It’s Hiner's method of advertising. A chronic candidate for office, he never gets to first base and probably doesn’t expect to but he makes the first pages. The school girls interested in home economics will have the privilege of seeing the picture, "The Bride Wakes Up,” which is in direct line with their work, giving instructions and suggestions that will prove helpful. They will enjoy it as will all who attend the matinees on the 4th, sth and 6th of October. ’ There is not room for double parking in the downtown section of Decatur and there is no way to arrange it so the only other thing to be done is to limit parking along the walks so that every oue will have a chance to get to the stores. Cooperation is needed. The police and the officials are making an honest effort to control traffic to the benefit of the general public and should have your earnest support. Senator Copeland proved to the nation that those who oppose the President and his efforts to help the general condition of the general public, cannot get far. He lost out in a lopsided battle in New York City where the conservatives certainly would have a chance if they would have it any where. ; Others similarly inclined over the country should be able to see the handwriting and read it. The Garr brothers who shot and killed General Denhardt at ShelbyI ville, Ky., evidently did not believe they would get a square deal in the trial of Denhardt who was i charged with the murder of their sister. In a previous trial, the jury disagreed and these three colonels decided to settle the thing themselves evidently, although they ' claim not to have fired until Denhardt reached for his gun. The boys have been released on bail , and it doesn't look very serious for them. So that ends another story i of interest for those who like to I read of such affairs.
