Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all time*. Now a huge gas well, estimated at 50 million cubic feet, has exploded in Mississippi and it is doubtful if the blaze can be put out. Wealth ouc day ami a hazard the next. If aliens arc running labor unions or holding high positions, they should be removed and deported. America is not their country and it they want to destroy it, we should get rid of them. Let’s boom business in Decatur. A concerted effort will focus public attention on a sales event, dollar day or harvest season sale. The ) best tonic for dull business is new business and the only way to get out is to go get it. The Republican press may “view with alarm” the possibility of President Roosevelt seeking a third term. If the people really want him, it will be their verdict at the polls and after all the people rule in America. With all of the Hughes and Corrigan flights, the return hop of i the German aviators to Berlin from New York in less than 20 hours, attracted about as much interest as the arrival of the Century limited. What next? They're building up the Arm-1 strong-Ambers fight for tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. The odds are on Armstrong, but you can take your choice either way. It doesn't make any difference to the country who wins. Indiana goes right ahead taking care of new social security and unemployment legislation without increasing tax burdens. The state’s tax program is the envy of the 47 other states and the people not only appreciate it, but are benefited through it. You’ll always have opportunity in this country. The author of the serial story now running in a popular five cent weekly magazine on the life of Jack London has sold the movie rights to the producers for $50,000. That’s more than London made on a single book. You could get all the crickets needed for a fishing trip the other night when the insects swarmed in front of Decatur theaters and stores. It is believed the heat drove the bugs from their usual hide-outs, the army of spindle legs seeking cooler spots against the buildings. In 1940 the decade census will be taken and Decatur will reflect a substantial growth. In 1931, the census gave us 5,156 population, an increase of four hundred over the previous ten years. And it has been the right kind of growth, built around home life and community spirit. The next congress, both the Senate and House, will be Demo-

cratic. The country has learned that it Is better to give the president a congress favorable to his party's platform, for when others are sent to Washington, the most they can do is obstruct. Indiana L hasn't been helped with Abe Halleck in the House. t Fire soon plays havoc in a homo. In the quiet of early morning a blaze broke out In an Indianapolis ’ I homo and from burns and smoke I two persons are dead and another ' seriously Injured. Unsafe struc- ■ tures should be eliminated and I risks removed, if we are to be safe I 1 from fire and its destruction. Society at large isn't going to object much if the state of Maine keeps young Dwyer bark of the bars, together with Carroll, who j was convicted of the murder. The | former had a hand hi the sordid | mess. The young girl in the case needs training in a good home. She should be barred from the stage. News in reverse, is the way the train-auto crash at Huntington might be referred to. A car stalled on the Wabash tracks, the engine plowed into it and the car derailed the big iron horse and a number of coaches. The engineer was killed, the fireman injured and | the auto owner jumped to safety. I Strangs things happen. ——— I Sympathy is extended to Dynoisj Schmitt, fine old gentleman of | this city, who fell Saturday and broke his leg. Mr. Schmitt loved to work alnong his flowers and' shrubbery and keep the trees in trim and while enjoying this past- 1 I time and hobby, fell from the lad-j ' der. He is 78 years old and saysi he’ll be up and around before frost j comes. Express your opinion about the | building of the nurse’s home at | the Adams County Memorial Hospital. Taxpayers must first sign a petition asking that bonds be' issued before legal steps can be taken to accept the government's grant or order the final plans for . the building. These petitions are ' being circulated and it is up to i i you to decide if you want to sign.; — We have heard several people discuss proposals for next year's fair. The clean fair idea went over with the people. Among suggestions heard was a reducing of | the number of midway concessions r and the bringing in of an entertaining show, say from WLS or i some other place, which would be worth seeing. Now is the time to give thought to next year’s program. The question of appropriating additional funds for purchase of materials for the county highway department in order to improve highways and at the same time | provide employment for WPA workers may have to be determined by legal authority or the state tax board. If the strict interpertation of the law that the highway department shall be operated with funds received from the gasoline tax is upheld, local taxing bodies would be helpless in considering the item. Political writers now tell the story that the defeat of Senator j Pope in the Idaho primary was due to the heavy Republican vote cast for his opponent. Primaries are supposed to be party affairs, but in those cases where one of the parties does not oppose, or the opposition thinks it can defeat the weaker candidate in the regular j election, it is not uncommon sor 1 them to switch their politics in; the primary. This supposition is i substantiated to a great extent in I view of the large Democrat vote I in Idaho. The two leading candi-. dates for United States senator j got most of the votes. If the same ; number is cast in November, the 1 Democrats will carry the state. o | 500 Sheets S’/jxll Yellow Second Sheets, 35c. Decatur Democrat Company. ts.

OFFICES TAXED BY APPLICANTS I Persons Seeking Unemployment Payments Jam State Offices Cndiantpolis. Ind., Aug. 16—(UP) • - Persons eligible for unemployment compensation through removal of the $lO clause crowded the state offices here again today after hundreds were turned away yesterday when the new benefit program became effective. Clarence A. Jackson, director ot the division, reported that the state’s full time branch offices and 70 part time offices all wera taxed to capacity. • These persons became eligible for benefits when the recent special legislative session removed a section from the statutes requiring that that all applicants must have earned at least $lO since April 1. Jackson reported that 764 applications for benefits were received by the state office yestrday. An additional 500 persons were given appointments for today because they could not be cared for yesterday. It was estimated that 50,000 unemployed persons would become eligible so rbenefits through removal of the $lO clause and that a maximum of $7,W0,000 would be paid from the $28,000,000 unemployment compensation fund. —o — DECATUR CHURCHES (CONTINUED FROM FAGF?
