It's tax paying week and the sooner the job is done the easier it will be and of course it just has to be done. We don't believe the country has gone to the dogs or so many folks wouldn't be trying to get the chance to operate it. Put on a false face, get out the old costume and join the gay throng tonight. It's your annual opportunity to be young again, or yet. Tonight's the big night—its Halloween. The witches will bo out in full regalia and in full force. Come down town for the big parade at 7:30. If the minimum fine for bootleggers who do not have government license is S2OO, it s just about going .tp ruin the profit for those who •engage in that business. Now they ought to have Senator; Buran go on the air and teil both Mr. Landon and Mr Hoover what he thinks ought to be done to put the G. O. P. back in power. School officials in Indianapolis jjave-appealed to the children to observe Hallow’een sanely, free from rowdyism or vandalism. The size of a community doesn't make much difference, it seems. Mr. Hoover is learning. He seems to finally hav< awakened to the fact that a divided party cannot win and that leaders who criticize without laying down a platform. stating what they will do if they win, are on the losing track. Hallow een really comes Sunday and of course there will be parties and dances and masquerading the rest of the week. Thats fine. Have a good time, youngsters, but remember that destruction of property is a crime, regardless of the occasion. There is nothing difficult about the stock market situation. Prices are low just now because of the flurry, percipitated by several causes. The good ones, which pay dividends, will go up to what they are worth. The others are not worth owning any way u. _.- ... . _ The CIO makes a peace offer to the AFL but it seemed to have a string and of course they won't get. together unless they are in earnest and each side is willing to concede a point or two. Once united, they must still be right if they propose to deal long with the public. 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 fiotn loute one to route two. ,

I The city has paid its taxes un-' der protest so that if at some future date the act under which i this is collected is held umonsti-j tutional —and many believe it is—then the money can bo claimed to the advantage of the taxpayers That's much bettor than permltt-j ing it to drift along and aceumui late to such a point that it would be a huge job to meet it. John Montague, Hollywood golfer and movie star, convinced the Jury of hfs innocence on the charge I of having participated in a robbery at Elizabethtown. N. J. seven years ago. but he didn't sell the judge, who when the jury return-. ed a "not guilty" verdict, told them in open court that he did not agree with them on their decision. How ever, it stands and Montague can return to his job. The National Voice, a dry paper, claims the leading stars of the film industry do not drink intoxicants and the list published includes Mae West, Guy Kibbee. May Robson. Conrad Nagle, Tom Mix. Sonja Henle, Lee Tracy. Paul Muni an*! many others. Though many of them go through the motions in the pictures, they are bluffing for most stars take good care of their health. Adams Post No. 43. American Legion, has secured forty-three more members than the quota assigned to them, an excellent showing and the increase puts them in position to continue to serve as they have on frequent occasions in the past They are a bunch of fine fellows who fought for their coun-j try and who take pleasure in aidgood of the community. More ! power to them The sale of a 150-acre farm in I Blue Creek township for $97 petacre indicates that values have come back considerably the past ; two or three years. As we told is you then, good farms are worth more than they cost. We believe they will continue to increase in value for the improvements are frequently worth more, based on replacement, than the price asked You just can t go wrong buying an . Auams county farm. p , I It would be interesting u the platform that would be written i by the G. O. P. if Mr. Hoover succeeds in getting them to hold that 1938 convention. They would have t : to have planks on every side of a ’ ti the important questions, compromise them so they mean nothing or leave them out all together. But it's a good idea—the proposed con-vention-hope they have it for if they have some plans that will help the nation, the publie wants them. Walter Krick, superintendent of 1 the city schools, will have charge of the annual Red Cross membership drive, with Roscoe Glendening as vice-chairman. Busy men. they will take the time from their , numerous and important duties to thus serve the public. It is important that the chapter of Red Cros: , be continued for each year comej many demands for their services. ■ They arc always on hand when disaster arrives and we should gladly contribute the small annual dues of one dollar per member. Let's all cooperate with these men and their lieutenants in making this the best campaign of its kind every waged in the county- ■ ♦ * Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE A-♦ Q.

Indiana, do hereby urge that the I people of Indiana lend their earnest [ co-operation to the project lu order that it may be completed before tho I Christmas rush beginning Ilecember 1. "I further urge that the mayors I of the various muni< ipalltks in Indiana appoint citizens committees : to co-operate with local postmasters in obtaining wide publicity and in disseminating information as to the plans and purpose of the census." I in a letter to the governor, John n. Biggers, administrator of the census, said. “I believe America does best that which it has the spirit to do of its own volition. That is why I am confident that a voluntary enrollment of the unemployed will succeed if our responsible leadi ers unite in appealing to the patrio- : tlsm of the people." o Frarte tn a Goon Town - Decatur
