Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. The city swimming pool is open and every one who patronises it seems happy. It’s a great thing for any bunch of folks. The - ornamental lamp posts in Dv(®ur are being repainted and its surprising how much these attentions which may seem small to the average person, liven un the appearance of a city. The horse department at the Decatur free street fair and agilculture show promises to be the best ever held here and that's a broad statement for in years past wjjJhave had numerous horse displays that made every visitor wonder how it could be done. The boom on residences in Decatur continues and within a wgek or two there will be added activities that will surprise you. The city is growing and will continue to do so and we must have modern and suitable and attractive places for the people to live happily in. - »■!. • Col. Hibbard High has dropped his suit to contest the primary election in the trustees battle hi Kirkland township, publicly proclaiming his faith in the members of tire election board and promising lite support in the fall election, which is the wise and sound action his friends felt he would take. ——— The new high school building is I rapidly takig form and it is pre-1 dieted will be completed and ready for occupancy by the middle of October. It will be one of the finest school buildings in this part of the state, fire proof and with every convenience and will provide for many years a suitable place for junior and senior high schools. Work is starting on the improvement of highway 27 from here so near Monroe. Under the present plans a new 11-foot shoulder will lie constructed on the west side of the road but the east is to be left as is. Several have suggested that these shoulders should be evened, giving the highway a better appearance and suggestions along that line will probably bemade to the state commission so that any necessary changes can be made while the new road is under construction. CAREFUL DRIVERS KI SELDOM SKID Rational Safety Council

I Father Raymond Derrick who gave the address to the graduates of the Catholic high school expressed excellent thoughts on the importance of the home. He told of the importance of education but . said It should not be forgotten that the will or heart is after ull the ’ thing that counts most. He was ■ ably supported by Rev. Scimetz and the instructions to the gradu- , ates and to ull others who attendi od the important graduation core- ' monies will prove helpful to all who remember the words of wisi dom. 1 Watch for detours on the state highways. The average driver gets so used to traveling fifty to seventy miles un hour that he finds it ditfi- ' cult to slow down, even on the macadam roads. He should realize I the danger. The roads are narrow and of course not as smooth as the pavements. Any thing can happen and does if you get careless. Sheriff Dallas Brown, sighting the fact that a half dozen accidents have occurred on these routes the past week, warns drivers to use every possible care when on the detours and that’s advice that the wise will remember. The recovery measure has passed the senate, gone to conference ' committee and will be ready for . the President’s signature in a day . or two. It provides for nearly four ' billion dollars of spending. We : may or may not favor the pump I priming but the average person will prefer it to sitting idly by and letting the thing take its course. I If every one will now join in try- i ing to keep things going, if eapi-| talists will invest and laboring men will work, if the big machine runs smoothly, we can have some real good times for the next several years at least and perhaps permanently. It’s worth the effort. The investigation by the state fire marshall as to the cause of the I fire at the Decatur Cooperage ' Company’s plant in this city, will j and shoifld be thorough. If it develops a case of arson the culprit who by his act thus caused a huge damage to the owner and threw some fifty men out of employment, should be severely punished. So far as can be learned there was no cause for such an act. There were no labor difficulties, the plant was running smoothly and orders ahead guaranteed a long run, badly needed under present economic condij tions. The fire was a distinct loss to the community and it is hoped j | the men in charge of the investigallon will leave nothing undone ' to discover who was responsible, if any one was. TWO PER CENT VS. 98: Talk about reducing the state i tax levy instead of spending the i surplus for institutional buildings | and a state office building arises I from ignorance of the state taxes. I ' The state tax levy is only fifteen cents on each 1100, compared to the average local tax rate of some- ' thing like $2.50 on each SIOO. But two-thirds of the fifteen-cent state I levy goes to sustain the poorer i schools and to pay teachers’ pen-' sions, leaving only five cents of the . total rate that the legislature can • appropriate for other state exi penses. The five cents state levy : raises $1,900,000 compared to total ■ property taxes of $98,000,000 in the state, so that the state gets less than two per cent of all the propertly tax levy, and this two per cent is the only reduction that could be made. Additions are to be made to four insane hospitals, the feeble-minded institution, a new tuberculosis institution, an addition to one of the prisons and an office building. These are just as necessary as the j farmer's barn or the merchant's > store room—they do not produce 1 any revenue but they are essential j to carrying on the business. The j office building is to replace rented ' 1 quarters. It might be Cheaper to, rent, just as the counties could 1 save money by not building' court ( houses or jails, when they have j
