Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. The newly improved streets are a delight to ride on and hundreds of compliments and "thank yous have been extended to the state highway commission on the job. Street fair week is a great time for the children. They love the noise, music, ipcrry-go-round, Ferris wheel and other attractions which cause wonderment and anticipation in happy children. Fishing is so good, it is claimed, at Lakeview, N. C„ that you catch ten-pound bass without a bait on the hook, as shown by a picture taken there and publicized to attract the person who has wished for just such a thrill. The Republican party leaders have gathered in Chicago to draft a new statement on farm policies. That sounds unfamiliar. Who remembers what the special session of congress called by President Hoover shortly after his election ever did for the farmer? Visit the flower show in the corridor of the court house, Thursday and Friday. The women have planned an interesting exhibit of flowers produced in this city and county and it is one department that is entirely surrounded by beauty. Don't fail to see the flowers. Al Feeney has been declared winner of th? Democratic nomination for sheriff in Marion county. The contest has been dropped by Lutz, who was first declared winner and Feeney's name will go on the ballot in November. His popularity and fitness for the office no doubt presage his election. The property tax rates, payable next year, should be kept down within the limits now fixed, unless additional money is necessary for bond and interest payments and completing improvements. We befleve this policy will be followed by the taxing units in this county, every effort being made in that direction. The Decatur school board trustees have completed their organization for the coming school year. Ira Fhurman, president; Roy Mumma, secretary and Joseph A. Hunter, treasurer, were re-elected to their former posts. Their big job this year will be the transfer of the pupils to the new school building and the dedication ot the modern Junior-Senior high school building. . The annual teacher's institute will be held in this city. August 30 and 31st. This is always an Important gathering and School Superintendent Cliff Striker is arranging a program of interest and worth to the teachers, those charged with the responsibility of teaching our children. The institute is a prelude to the opening of the new term of school, which will begin September 6.

A young Huntington high school boy died following an operation for a ruptured appendix. According to newspaper dispatches the strip tease girl survives even after her appendix burst and peritonitis set in. She defied medical authorities who wanted to operate be- ’ cause she didn't want a scar ou her body. The girl's story sounds like another publicity stunt, for peritonitis is not a respecter of I dancers alone. You can't drive your car while drunk. The law is severe in the case of drunken drivers. For the first offense the fine can be up to SSOO, with an added jail sentence of six months. The offender's, drivers’ license must be revoked by the court for the first offense., A second violation becomes a J felony, punishable with not less than one year in prison. It you must drink, don't drive, if you enjoy your liberty. The United States is moving 70,000 tons of silver bullion, worth $1,290,000,000 to the new depository at West Point. The point is that it costs a lot to have so, much money. It will require 251 trucks, running five days a week, ‘ six to eight months to transfer the silver loaves and Uncle Sam has let a contract to a private trucker , for the job. Your paper dollar | bills are good because the government has this silver reserve to back them. The world may be shocked to read one of these days that Russia > and Japan are engaging in a real tor-sure war. Trouble is brewing along the Siberian-Korean border, and actual hostilities may begin at any time. Russia, of course, would outstrip Japan in man power ' and also in weapons of war and the invasion of China by the latter j may be the beginning of a great conflict. Japan will probably at-1 tempt to keep on peaceful termsl with the Soviet government and ! along those lines prevent what ■ would be their ultimate defeat in ■ case Russia started to drive them back. L | The county commissioners will 1 ask a 10-cent county tax levy to raise approximately $25,000 for the | furnishing of materials for the improvement of the highways. Under | WPA regulations the local sponsor-; ing unit must provide the mater- ‘ ials for improvements. The men can't be employed unless materials i are <urnlshed them ami the com-1 missioners are proceeding along ■ the suggestion given by Governor Townsend that local communities provide funds for materials in , order to provide work. The request | will no doubt be given serious consideration by taxing boards and if ■ I the whole levy can’t be allowed, at ; least part of it might be provided. j Among the members named by , Governor Townsend to the board j which will locate the building of the new tuberculosis sanitarium in , southern Indiana, are Arthur H. j Sapp, Huntington attorney and former president of Rotary Internationa! and L. A. Pittenger, Mun-| cie, president of Ball State Teachers college. To the thousands of persons who know Mr. Sapp and , Mr. Pittenger, the Governor has ■ selected two of the most able and sincere men in the state. They will I render worthy public service and with the other members of the board, we are sure will make the right selection of a site, all condi-! lions being considered. Governor Townsend is to be commended on . the appoitments. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of j ' Illinois, expresses the opinion that he does not believe President i Roosevelt will be a candidate to I succeed himself. The wise Illinois- • an statesman is quoted as saying 1 that Roosevelt would not be nomit nated, unless it was necessary for f him to run to hold the country to- - gether. A radical third party, ad- [ vocating repudiation of government t securities and government ownership of all eterprises, might be a

ation. ’ A petition was submitted by t Francis Grim, asking that the city water lines be extended on Fif- 1 teeth street. This was referred to ' the water committee. Contracts were approved with I the Kocher Lumber company for , the furnishing of material for the Lamlin and Brunner sewers, and with R. A. Stucky, for the Acker ' sewer. Labor on these projects is to be furnished by the WPA. It was reported that 38 WPA workers will begin Thursday on the laying of the Acker sewer, and] the NYA boys will begin soon on the shelter house to be constructed at the Hanna-Nuttman city park. This is to be 20 by 40 feet with the NYA furnishing the labor, cement and roof.
