Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Yesterday's rain should tide us over until after fair week. • Ona of the thrillers of the free acts is the ‘‘Human Cannon Ball.” See it if you want a thrill. Many compliments have been heard on the newly improved streets. They are soundproof, smooth and well built. If they believe that poisoned water story in Kentucky, it's a . sure bet they'll not try serving Adam's ale on election day. That New York fellow got what he wanted. He wanted to leap from the seventeenth story of a hotel and by golly he did. That - should end the story, except to say that he must have been crazy. The despondent New York man should have tried to come down from the top of the hotel building - with a parachute. If he had made a successful landing, vaudeville or radio would have given him a chance in life. ~ The annual report ot Superin- ” tendent Striker shows 4,055 pupils enrolled in the schools in Decatur - and Adams county. That is a small army, the best we have and of which all are proud. May it grow and be of great service. * - . T -* Vincent J. Bormann of Cloverleaf Creameries, is the newly elected head of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion. He will succeed Ralph Roop and will pilot , that worthy organization to greater < service and achievement during the coming year. i Today's paper lists the program for fair week, as far as the scheduled eVents are avalable. Your attention is called to the many special events and designated days, the free acts, livestock and horse shows and other departments which go to make up the Adams county I fair program. The Daily Democrat appreciates the advertising support which 1 made possible the Issuing of to- ' day's fair edition. The advertise- ■ ments prove that the merchants and manufacturers are always willing to lend a helping hand and encourage those endeavors which mean for community building. The time for filing applications with the PWA for grants and loans has been extended to September 30. Applications are being allowed daily and many public work projects are being started. The list of approvals Include school houses In all sections of the country, one of the major projects favored by the government. The policy of the Saturday Evening Post is clear and evident. It goes out of its road to give a wrong slant on Democrats and reverses the editorial dictation on Republicans. The cases in point

are the articles on Jimmy Roosevelt und young Senator Cabot Lodge. If you read the latter, you wonder why Lodge Isn't the Republican candidate for president. Among other provisions and demands of the city in awarding the new garbage hauling contract will be, that no person under Ik years of age shall be employed in the business. This is in keeping with the federal hour and wage law and will be enforced. Garbage hauling Is a man's job and the person or firm who takes the contract, will he expected to live up to the provision. .1 •3» The public is Invited to attend the Union out-door service Sunday evening at the Presbyterian church. There will be music by the high school band and Judge William H. Schannen of Fort | Wayne will deliver the principal address on, “Christian Law Observance.” All of the churches affiliated with the Decatur Minisiterial Association are participating in the program and the pastors cordially invite you to attend. The housing development in the north part of town will greatly improve that section and make it an ideal place to live. From 30 to 40 modem houses will be constructed. Present streets will be improved, sidewalks and sewers built, a new drive and park area opened and every encouragement given the home owners to improve their properties. In a few years it will represent one of the major residential sections in the city. Decatur is growing. A few weeks ago we discussed the drug-weed marijuana and its dangers. Its deadly toll continues. Several men and young women have been convicted for transporting and selling it. Countless others have committed crimes while | under its influence. Now the American liegion and the Boy ■ Scouts in Indiana have declared I they will do something about it. Under the direction of State Com-1 mander Michael Hurley, a statewide campaign of eradication has ! been started. It will continue | until September. Your part is to know whether or not this deadly I weed grows on your farm. If it | does, destroy it and send a report ' to this office or to Prairie Farmer's Indiana manager. W. B. Renshaw. —Prairie Farmer. ■ ; The Terre Haute Chamber of | Commerce sure did furnish the Liberty movie critic the wrong in-; formation about the Limberlost.| We don't know why the movie j reviewer went to the Terre Haute | organization for information any-1 way. because they probably don't know about this section of the country. Under the head of “Vital Statistics,” following a review of ' the film, “Romance of the Limberlost,” which will be shown here, taken from Gene Stratton's book, "A Girl ot the Limberlost,” the critic comments, “In case yon are technical, the Limberlost is a hunk I of Indiana swampland, 95 miles I square." The truth is that the Limberlost is about six miles square. French Quinn of this city can and will furnish Liberty magazine more accurate information if it is interested. o -

Washington. July 28 —(U.R) —The national labor relations board today invalidated an American federation of labor closed shop contract covering 1.060 employes at the Serrick Corporation, Muncie, Ind., and ordered the company to stop encouraging membership in the A. F. of L.s international association of machinists. The board held that such encouragement of employes by an employer was in violation of the labor law even though the union affected was an independent one. The company was ordered to rehire with back pay 18 workers who were discharged when they refused to join the I. A. M. The United Automobile Workers of America, a committee for industrial organization affiliate, was granted sole bargaining rights and the company was directed to deal exclusively with them for all employes except buffers and polishers. The board said the company stipulated that the UAW on Aug. ■lO, 1937 represented a majority of its employes. The board's decision was unanimous and overruled its own trial examiner’s findings concerning the IAM contract and the company’s refusal to bargain with the UAW. The board said that “the record disclosed the company’s open hostility to the UAW and favoritism to the IAM, accompanied by active assistance in promoting the IAM prior to the execution of the contract.”
