Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. The special session might do something about the weather. Don't fail to see the big parade on Wednesday of fair week. Fifteen attractive floats have already been entered and there will be more. The city is getting ready for the fair and the electric crews are busy arranging lights and decorations and otherwise preparing to handle the situation. Decatur will be well decorated for the free street fair and agricultural show, lending a thrill to -those who visit here during the week of August Ist. The stock market continues on its way up showing that those who buy and sell these commodities, if they can be called that, are extremely hopeful of the future. Watch for the “twins" at the big fair on Thursday of that week. They are coming in pairs from far and near and you will have a good time with them it you join in the fun of the occasion. If your doctor has been advising you to take cod liver oil and you don't like it, how would you like to shift to a “charged" egg for breakfast as a source of vitamin D? Out at Ames, la., at the lowa State College, Dr. H. B. Thomas is working on such a plan for you. The telephone lines will soon all be underground and the plant here will be improved to point to continue it in the very first rank of utilities of its kind in the country. The rates here are low and the service excellent and we have every reason to be proud of this line, locally owned company. We will certainly all appreciate it when the streets of Decatur and the state highways leading in have been improved and are again open to traffic. No one enjoys detours but we have to have them occasionally so we can keep the streets and roads up to par and so we will appreciate them the more. Registrations in California show the Democrats leading two-to-one and a letter from our old friend, J. O. Sellemeyer, says it looks like another hig year for the rooster. J. P. T. O’Couuer of the U. S. treasury department is a candidate tot gowraor and ought to prove a good one for world fair year out San Francisco way. Don't think the inconvenience of building a pavement through the business section of a busy city is all on your side. Its a lot of trouble for the contractor and because of the carelessness of people, frequently makes them do parts of their work over. We should cooperate to the end that we get a first class job that will last many years.

Work will start In two weeks on the building of u lake just east of Decatur. It will be the center of a park which will provide camping grounds, playing territory and | others forms of amusement. The I lake will provlda boating, fishing, bathing and in the winter cun be used for Ice sports. It's a WPA project that should bring happiness to many thousands of young i and old in the future. We will always remember the | late Henry Thomas as one of the | best home town boosters we have ever known. He loved Decatur ami he was ever jealous of Its stores and Industries, believed they gave the best and deserved all j the business of the community and its trading area. He talked it 1 early and late and was happier ■ when he made a convert to those , Ideas, which were right and which , many wouldedo well to emulate, i The special session of the legis-, lature will convene tomorrow, the i purpose being to appropriate | money for an eleven million dol-| lar building program for the var- . ious state institutions, that will I employ hundreds of men and ought i to aid materially in restoring pros-. perity in Indiana. It is scheduled | to conclude in eight days. Oppon-! ents of the Townsend administra-: tion will try to muddy the waters | by offering bills on about every , thing they can think of, but it is ; thought the majority will have no I difficulty in adjourning after the I regular program is out of the way. I ■ ——» Samuel Instil, once the head of i a three billion dollar corporation | that controlled the electric fran-, chises and much of the business r of the middle west, died of a heart i attack in a Paris hospital Saturday. He was stricken while riding in a subway car. Insul was a | power in business for years, was ' one time a partner of Thomas A. Edison. When the depression struck in 1929, his companies. ■ which apparently were watered far ; beyond their actual worth, folded j up oue after another until he be-, came bankrupt. He was indicted I but after a trial in Chicago was I acquitted. His career was inter-: esting in many ways and he will j be talked about for several dec- j ades to come. In no country in the world has newspaper development reached such a stage as it has in this court- j try. People are hardly equipped to live in a modern community until they read thoroughly every issue of a good local newspaper. | In fact that is the way they coni serve their incomes, by learning of good opportunities to buy merchandise. They become familiar with public movements and entertainments, and are able to enjoy many things that they would not hear about until they had happened, if they were not informed by the newspapers. They are thereby able to partake to the full of ; their community life, where wlth-i out such a newspaper thoroughly I covering their field, they are on, one side the current of its life. In Saline, Mich., recently ales-1 son in history and finance was; furnished from an unexpected i source. Rehabilitation of one of tlie century-old farmhouses was in progress. The hall was to be redecorated. Layers of old wall paper were torn off and the last layer next to the plastering was found to be composed of “wildcat' money. The issues were of banks of Michigan and were dated during the period at the beginning of Michigan statehood when banks wore making everybody rich by printing money. Under the gen- ! eral banking law passed at that ' time getting into the banking business was easy. Though the state was but sparsely populated, in one ' year 49 banks were organized. 1 When the law was declared unconstitutional a few years later, direcL tors and stockholders were not 1 held personally liable for the currency which was nothing more

I Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee ♦ ♦ Porch Pillows Pillows that are to be left outdoors should have an inner covering ’ of oilcloth, and an outer covering of ■ some attractive washable material. Then there will be no worry about | them on a wet day, as the rain will ' not injure them. Treatment of Corks When bottling fruits, catsup, etc., if the corks are boiled for a few ; minutes, so that they become soft and pliable, they can be easily preseed into the bottles and then cold they will fit tightly.

BRAUN It 7 © MjHe Safiti/'MM Manufacturers are improving cars every year. Highway commissions ot all states are improving roads. But the Immaji being does not want to be improved in his ability to drive and walk carefully. People are still trying to compete with trains at railroad cross- ! mgs. Many motorists still maim the ' right of way after an accident. Many still insist they can pass other cars on hills, curves, and dangerous crossings. Too many motorist feel that after they once start . to cross an intersection the pedesi rlan has absolutely no right. The improvement in cars and highways goes on, but the increased amount of horsepower iu an automobile does not justify the decreasi ed use of horse sense by people. It’s up to the individual, whenever I he takes hold of that wheel, to drive ! safely and to drive courteously. o P LEADERS SEEK (CONTINUED FltOM PAGE ONE) and caucus chairman during the 1937 session, and Sen.
