Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Hot days and nights, plenty of rain, it's perfect corn weather. And it’s always important through this part of the country that we have a big crop of that reliable farm product. The street fair and agricultural show will be worth your time and if you miss any of it you will be out just that much. The program

each day is different and interesting. Plan to attend all the time or as much as you can. The general condition of business continues so improve, the outlook for the future is bright, the steel mills are increasing production, men are returning to work, every body is looking hopefully forward to a happy future. Get ready for a long era of good times. State officials are busy getting ready for the special session of the legislature which convenes Tuesday. ‘Efforts to confine the meeting to tthe appropriation of funds with which to meet the federal government on a building program are completed and it is expected the session will not continue more than a week. The corn borer which a few years ago caused much concent throughout the corn belt is at it again rfnd has been discovered in Wells county. They may not have arrived at your place but it won't hurt to look around. Perhaps something can be done about it if you find they are starting to work.. Report to your county agent Judge De Voss is busy acknowledging congratulations over his nomination to the appelate bench and good wishes for his success

in November. The honor thus conferred upon him is a distinct one, the first to ever come to an Adams county resident and is appreciated not only by the judge but by his many friends and the citizens here in general. The Citizens Telephone company is planning extensive improvements, especially on the rural lines, adding to the value of their property and of equal importance, improving the convenience of the public. It is an enterprising organization of one of the most important utilities and we are very proud of its growth and of the fact that it is one of the best independent telephone plants in the entire country. The program also includes miles of underground lines for Decatur and Berne. Around the world in ninety hours is the record made by Howard Hughes and his four companions who left New York City last Monday afternoon and landed back home yesterday noon. All previous times were shattetred and a wild and cheering crowd welcomed the crew when they stepped from their plane and fought their way

through. Hughes who is a millionaire. many times over, is considered oue of the really great aces pioneering In the progress of dying, to the end of bringing the world In closer contact. The Wednesday evening district . convention of the American Legion held at the Knights of Pythias home in this city is declared by many who attended to have been the best ever held In this section. Addresses by Father Faurote, former Adams county resident, now of Avilla and the district chaplain; Glen R. Hillis of Kokomo, Richard Urblne of Fort Wayne, governor of the Boys State, A. L. Moudy of Waterloo, past district commander and William Sayer, state adjutant, were all inspiring and interesting. Carl H. Graham, fourth district commander, presided and the business session was | unusually interesting. It was a | delightful event. Those who are worrying about : the fact that Senator VanNuys was j not endorsed in the Democratic | platform should find solace because | he was nominated by acclamation ■ by the convention, the most genu-1 ine endorsement, it would seem, that could possibly be given him. ; Leaders had declared the conven-! tion a wide open affair, giving any j person so desiring, the opportun-1 ity to have his name presented , With that in mind it was deemed, wise not to commend the senator . in the platform. There need be l

no doubt in the mind of any one as to the Democratic position on the matter. The convention was the greatest display of harmony l ever witnessed rn the state. We mark the passing of another | excellent citizen of Decatur, Henry : Thomas, for many years engaged in business here, a man who loved > his home town and always boost-' it, who was interested in all as- ■ fairs designed to work for the benefit or pleasure of the people here. For years he employed a large force of men and women in his cigar factory and when his health prevented him from engag- 1 ing extensively in the business he continued a smaller plant, giv-' ing much personal attention to his work. He was a member of many committees when community cam- ■ paigns were on and did his part in a splendid manner and with much enthusiasm always. We extend our sympathies to the widow and daughter. The gift of $5,000 to the James I Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children at Indianapolis by Mrs. Mill!-1 cent Edmonds‘Chamberlain of Elkhart, serves to call renewed attention not only to the admirable j service that is being done at that hospital, but to the importance of. the Indiana University medical center, of which it is a unit.

Among other units are the Indiana University school of medicine and the Long Hospital. The large Indianapolis City Hospital is near-, by. The medical center has been I growing so rapidly lately in its plant equipment and the scope of | its work that Indiana people do not realize as generally as they ! should that this state possesses at , Indianapolis and at the state uni-\ versity at Bloomington facilities . for medical service and training of doctors and surgeons that compare favorably with the best of such centers in other parts of the country.—Elkhart Truth. Leisure time throughout the j country is so highly regarded that I recreation has doubled in the last! ten years. The National Recre-; ation Association in a review eov-1 ering more than 2.200 communities! has uncovered figures to prove that I ■ enforced idleness due to economic | ■ conditions has not been respon-' slble for it all, as employed men ■ and women in charge of recreation ; 1 facilities increased in number dur--1 Ing the decade from 17,177 to 43,- > 976, with particular emphasis on t swimming and pickuicking.

Garbage Collection To whom it may concern: Today I saw a sight, which to me is nothing to brag about in a fine, so called, clean and industrious city—this city of Decatur — i every one is proud of it. Two juveniles, not even of the adolescence age. collecting the garbage of this city and in a most unsanitary method. The boys 1 couldn't lift the large buckets but had to divide it into another beice skating areas, children's playgrounds, wading pools, lawn tennis and basketball courts and horseshoe pitching to say nothing of plain hiking, prove there is ’something more to life than the humdrum. There is an eagerness I for recreation that does not mean ' sitting on park benches or listen- ! ing to orators with something they must have to get off their minds. I The very fact that Americans are recreating themselves in the lib--1 eral sense proves that they still have plenty of hope. The National I Recreation Association's report makes good reading.

fore they could lift it up to the conveyance to dump. Whose delinquency is this? A sight to see that two mere boys should be doing a man's job. What's the matter with the low’ bidder contractor for Decatur’s garbage collection? He got the job. why doesn't he do it? This Is no environment for these mere boys, as a man's job it is bad enough but the juveniles have no business gathering the garbage of the taxpayers. It appears the city officials are negligent. Poor children, I feel sorry for them, they should be playing and enjoying vacation days instead of garbage collecting for the beautiful city of Decatur. A subscriber to the Democrat. Mrs. M. McKinney. Editors note: The city officials filed protest with the contractor about employing the boys. o We deliver cold beer. Bob’s Confectionery. Phone 434. 165-2 t
