It looks like a special session of congress to get the program ready for the regular bout in January. This is a good time to pay your taxes. Get in before the big rush There are only three weeks left for the disagreeable job. The milk truck driver's strike in Indianapolis promises to be pretty “sour” for the farmers who supply that market as well as the customers who use the product. The tight against crime in this country seems necessary for not only those who participate in such work are the losers. It costs this nation fifteen billion dollars annually. Stocks are steady again with probabilities of an upward trend It’s well to remember that you have about as much chance play ing that game as you have in buck ing a slot machine. In an old Boston graveyard stands a slab bearing this inscription: “Sacred to the memory of Eben Harvey who departed this life suddenly and unexpectedly by a cow kicking him on the 15th of September, 1853. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.'’ The Yanks took the third straight but the score was only five-to-one instead of the eight-to-one set up as (he standard in the first two games. With three games to their credit it looks like an easy win and most sport writers expect it to end with today’s exhibition at the Polo grounds. The prisoners at Joliet finally gave up their hunger strike after forty-eight hours. They turned down breakfast foods and other eatables but bowls of steaming beef stew, added to the desire of the men to hear the world series, did the job. There are some things even that the tough guys can't take. * According to Dunn and Bradstreet. fall buying is from ten to' twenty per cent higher than the same period last year, the best proof that this nation is still going forward. A slight let down in manufacturing is apparent but not unexpected because of the tremendous buying during the earlier part of the year. Wholesalers, jobbers and salesmen- who distribute Crystal White Sugar, the best made, arc guests of the Central Sugar company here todwy. going over the plant, talk-i ing business and they will enjoy a banquet at the country club to- ’ night. They are a bunch of fine , fellows who realize they have an- 1 article that sells easily and pleases ail who buy it To be designated the most beau lit til girl in America does not guar- j antee happiness it seems, in 1925 Virginia Cogswell of Atlanta, Ga., won the title of “Miss America." Since then she has been married and divorced eight times, her latest writ of freedom having been

I granted in Peoria, Illinois, this week. Now she says she is through with men to* good. A representative of this nation will meet with the others in the Asia war parley but it is certainly understood by every one who cares to understand, that he is there ■ tor peace and not for war. We 1 cannot sit by and act like we knew it all and take no part but there is alsoblutely no chance in the minds of our people that war is not needed or desired. Indiana broke anotheh record this week when the millionth automobile license was issued, this bei ing the first time in history that such sales had reached the seven figures. That's a lot of cars, to which must be added thousands of visiting autos each day and makes clear the need for care in driving and for proper laws and ordinances to control and handle that much traffic. W. A. Kunkle, Jr., publisher of the Journal-Gazette, Harry G. Hogan, banker, of Fort Wayne and William Wayne of Pennsylvania, direct descendant of Mad Anthony, have been named by President Roosevelt to the Anthony Wayne memorial commission. The members are capable and will do a good job and the appointments are popular with those in the Fort Wayne territory where the work is most important. It is interesting to note the extent to wnich farmers are paying off their mortgages. During the year ending July 1, just past, land bank and commissioner borrowers paid off over $106,000,000 of principal, although only a small fraction of that amount was due. About one-half of the remittances were paid in to meet annual and semi-annual installments and the ■ remaining amount for payment of loans in full. This reflects the improvement in economic conditions' for the farmers of this country.—Farmers Guide. Just why people crowd their cars as close to a fire scene as they can is difficult to understand. They certainly know that in doing so they interfere with the firemen who have an important job to do. Chief Robenold has called attention to this several times with the request that it not be repeated but so far this doesn’t seem to have made much impression. Now it is necessary to do the only thing left and those who continue the practise will be arrested. A few appearances in court it seems is necessary to convince the public that the chief is in earnest. One of the problems Decatur will have to serve in the very near future is that of a better sewer i system. Those in use now were built long ago when this was a city a third its present size and when many things were different. Paved streets and side walks, greater roof surface and the larger use of water in the homes all tend to make the present system greatly inadequate? The two drains, one on Jefferson and one on Mon rocdo not do the job when there is a heavy rainfall as was demonstrated several tithes the past few months. City Engineer Ralph Roop is working on plans and it is hoped these can be carried out during the next year or two. We know the public will approve the solution of this one for there is nothing more disagreeable than i poor sewer service. CHANGE OF ADDRESS i 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.
