Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. City government can be summed in one word—Service. It isn't such a bard job to be shot out of a cannon, if you hire a substitute. We attended the Chicago world's fair, but didn't see more people than were on the Decatur midway the past two days. The twins received the cheers as they marched in the parade, to- 1 gether with the good wishes of ; the crowd for their health and happiness. The Boy Scouts performed their good deed every day at the fair. They assisted in patroling booths and exhibits, running errands and , doing a good turn whenever and wherever they could. The flower show, at the court house attracted a lot of attention and much favorable comment. The women went to great pains to give the public a colorful and beautiful display of flowers and their , efforts are appreciated. I < Will Bowers, top parade marshal ( and his lieutenants have done an ( excellent job during the week. They staged colorful parades and were on the beat whenever their services were required. They , made every effort to please and . succeeded. , Along with the heat the other day workmen fired up a boiler in the court house in New York county, N. Y. Soon the temperature reached 106 degrees, which we will admit was reason a plenty for the judge to inquire what iliade it so infernally hot. ( Jesse Jones, who as head of the RFC. has dealt with more money ' than any man connected with the federal government, says the out- 1 look is good and that the country is getting ready to go places. Business is organizing to make the 1 coming months brisk and profi- 1 table. The state police and Commissioner Bell have cooperated in every way with the city police and 1 the sheriff's office in traffic problems this week. The officers have been on the job and hazards have been reduced to a minimum, the crowd, number of cars and detours all being considered. The fair has been clean and entertaining. The free acts are wonderful. The horse and cattle shows rank among the best. The 4-11 club exhibit shows its worth and the sincerity of the members. All in all, it is one of the best fairs ever given and the recordbreaking attendance is proof that . the people think it is. Senator Clark, as was expected, won the Democratic nomination in Missouri and his popularity is attested in the boom which has al-

ready been launched for him for President. The primaries are exciting, but so fur there has not been any unexpected victories. The feature of the week will be the Barkley-Chandler race Saturday in old Kentucky. Decatur joins in welcoming the vctcrarians from Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, to the one day nutrition conference today, sponsored by the Central Soya Company of this city. We are always happy to see visitors and it is gratifying to have progressive industries which continually employ new methods and have better products and service to show and offer the public. The program aranged is instructive' and educational and typical of the many excellent ones given by this . outstanding industry in the promotion and development of its products and service. John DeVoss, president and the other directors of the Chamber of | Commerce, Dee Fryback, head concession man and others of the fair committees, are to be commended for the high class program and standard set for the Decatur fair. The midway does not hark of lewd shows or other off color concessions, there are no gambling rackets and an inspection will prove that it stands shoulders above most fairs. People like to be entertained and the milling on the midway is evidence that they come from far and near to mingle with the crowd and sec the sights. We think President DeVoss and his committees are to be commended. Fred Braun, faithful worker and retired employe of the General Electric company, has been awarded the contract to gather and dispose of the garbage in this city. The award was made by the council. He will begin his duties September 1 and promises first class i service. Fred has away of doing things and getting them done and he says he’ll make every effort to [ cover the routes throoughly, as ■ often as is needed. It will be a service greatly appreciated by I housewives, for nothing becomes more of a nuisance or aggravating than when the garbage isff’t gathered regularly. It's a service which the city wants rendered in an efficient manner. In view of the special court rul- : ing it seems that only one path is i open to the county commissioners | and that is, order the Wabash dredge bonds. These bonds are a : lien on the farm lands assessed in • the dredging of the river. The i credit of the county or county funds are not pledged for their payment. It is contended that in many cases the assessments exceed the value of the farms. That is probably a case for the contractor to consider. The case has been a costly one, both to the farm owners and to the county government, but unless the decision of I the special judge is reversed by . a higher court it appears that the ; assessments must be paid, the I bonds issued and the work of dredging started. The south half of the county is affected by the assessments. W. Lee O’Daniel, who hillbillybanded himself to the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas, broke precedent and caused the believers of old campaign methods to rub their eyes. O'Daniel followed the theory that people would not turn out to hear politicall speeches any more. So he decid-1 ed to entertain them and sell himself to them in between numbers, it worked. Indiana has had a county chairman for the last six years who has been building up Democratic majorities the same' way. He is Fred F. Bays, Demo- j cratic leader of Sullivan county, who originated this form of political meeting. His political meetings are legendary. It is not un-I common for a dozen bands and drum corps to play, fireworks to light the sky and a parade to move ! tor hours when Bays stages a I

The reports In brief follow: The south reported that the gloomiest phase of its business picture since the first of the year j has been widespread wagecuts in I textile mills and associated industries. Some major mills announced i salary reductions as high as 16 per cent during the last two | months. New England textile mills rei ported a 40 per cent increase in ; cotton operations during the past 1 four weeks and a 20 per cent increase in woolens in July over I June. Cotton mills are operating 80 to 90 per cent of normal activity with the work week increased from i three and four days a week to five, while woolen mills are operating at 60 per cent of normal Michigan ■ 1 also reported an upswing in texi tiles. State Secretary of Mines Michael 1 J. Hartneady summed up the situa- , tion this way: “There is nothing bright in the , near future for the Pennsylvania mining industry, except an early winter and cold as hell.” Hartneady said most of the coml panies are stocked to capacity with coal ready for market. He • said none of the mines has been operating more than half time for : the past four months, some not at ' all. I Montana’s mining industry virtually is at a standstill although mines and smelters were operating at the first of the year, according I to President Carl Trauermau of the mining association of Montana. He • reported that production of copper ' and lead virtually has ceased and ( I that gold and silver mining has i been hampered severely by complete shutdown July 5 of the Amer--1 lean Smelting and Refining company plant at East Helena and by' near-suspension of operations at, the Anaconda Copper Mining company smelters at Anaconda. Production of 12,000,000 pairs of, ! shoes in New England during May was three per cent above the figure for May ,1937 and it was the first 1 month this year showing an in- : crease over the corresponding per- . | iod last year. Production was expected to maintain this favorable trend and buyers said the outlook for the fall is more encouraging than had been expected. The nation's steel mills, according to the American Iron and Steel

Institute, were scheduled this week ii to operate at 39.8 per cent capacity, i 1 the highest rate since the week be-! . | ginning last Nov. 8. The current | | rate represents a gain of U.S points j , since the stock market advance got ,! under way the week of June 20. Though automobile production is i J at a low ebb because of the annual. /shutdown or “change-over" period | I in preparation for introduction of l 1 new models, actual shortages are ■ predicted in some car fields if the current buying pace continues. Last month more cars were sold than produced. The July produci tion is estimated at 121.000 units. President K. T. Keller of Chrysler corporation said “the improve ! ment in general business conditions which has been somewhat in I evidence during recent weeks has I reflected itself in a rapid liquidation of dealers’ stocks of new and | used cars and the indications are l that this situation may contribute to an improved outlook for opera tions this fall.” o Ginnivan Dramatic Co.

VOTERS DEFEAT ; SENATOR BERRY' Tennessee Senator Loses Nomination Atter Bitter Eight Memphis. Tenn., Aug. S—CVP)— fen. George L. Berry was defeated for renomination In yesterdays Democratic primary, almost complete returns Indicated today. It was a triumph for the Ed Crump machine of Shelby county (Memphis) over the Gov. Gordon Browning state machine and promised a bitter fight in the senate over the eligibility of Berry’s successor. j Gov. Browning, seeking re-nom-ination as Berry’s running mate, also was defeated by a Crum® can- , dldate—Prentice Cooper, of M«m- , phis. Berry was defeated by Torn Stewart, a Winchester lawyer, the other Crump canidate. In al of the state except she Iby ( county. Browning and Betty had been running just a little behind the Crump candidates, but when a large portion of the Shelby county returns were dumped into the totals early today, They seemed hopelessly outdistanced. In the fifth congressional district, Joseph By ms, Jr., son of the late speaker of the house of representatives. defeated Rep. Richard Atkinson for the Democratic nomination and will take a seat in the house where his father was a famous figure for years. In Tennessee, the Democratic nomination is tantamount to election.
