Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Howard Hughes is now flying around like some fellows drive , their cars. They go like heck and i when they get there they haven't got any place for any reason. Don’t use the city streets for speedways. So far Decatur hasn't had a fatal accident this year and we know you wouldn't want to, mar the record during the next four months. Rev. I’aul Brandyberry has been , returned as pastor of the Church of the Nazarene, this being his third year. The pastor is devoted to his cause, always has a good word to say for Decatur and its people and those who listen to his preaching will be happy witli the announcement of his continued residence here. The Decatur Girls band was one > of the units in the big American i Legion parade in Indianapolis: yesterday. There might have been larger and louder bands, hut none better. The band was given a state police escort to the capital city and residents from this city who viewed the parade were thrilled when they saw the Decatur girls march by. The Huntington Herald-Press celebrated its ninetieth anniversary, issuing an interesting 56 page edition, depicting the growth and progress of Huntington county. The Herald-Press is one of the good papers in the state, well edited and newsy. We wish for it many more years of continued service , to the community it serves and enough prosperity to insure its I growth. Wealthy Homer E. Capehart can afford to throw the big party at his farm in Davies county for the Republicans. Value of stocks in his compaliy and interests held by him have increased enough since the days of .Hoover that he should I give a roasting-ear and water rnel- : lon feast to the whole state. It's the last few years that brought him back to the front page and put money in his pocket. Since the election is just a little more than two months away Republican papers are attempting to ' create dissatisfaction among farm- 1 ers with Secretary Hull's reclpro-; cal tariff agreements. The latest is the bugaboo about the importation of corn into this country. ■ The. answer is that all the corn 1 imported last year did not amount to that raised in two Indiana townships and certainly that didn't destroy the market. Residents complain of too much useless noise in the business dis- j trict.. Objections have been filed with city officials about radio broadcasting from stores and offices and sound cars which frequently visit the town. The city does not have a specific ordinance which bans broadcasting from doors and windows and sound cars, I

| but it can be stopped if it be- ; comes a general nuisance. It's not good advertising to offend prospective patrons with methods of advertising. We talked to a local citizen the other evening about civic matters. I It was gratifying to learn of his ! Interest in city planning, tree trimi ining, parks and public improve- ' merits. He was for them. One of the needs of the city is a building ■ inspector, which legislation is being prepared and the appointment of a planning coinmissiop. As the i town grows, the citizens must not ! only show an interest in proper I regulation of buildings and zon- | ing, but a willingness to serve on : committees or commissions which i work out the problems and help j enforce the ordinances. This is Hie streamline age. We I have streamline trains, streamline I automobiles, streamline houses ' and streamline clothes. This year the Indiana Democratic organization will introduce the streamline • campaign. It will be a short, to-the I point campaign of five or six ; weeks. Officially opening about , the middle of September, the campaign will come to a close in the week before the election. In the ' days before radio and the fast ! automobile, campaigns were started in July or August and dragged wearily on for weeks. Time was i needed to reach all the voters with ' the issues. It is different now. A | candidate can speak in four diff- ■ erent towns in one day by using an automobile, lie can get on the radio and address thousands upon i thousands of voters. Fast means ' of communication keep the people j informed abont government. They don't need to attend political meet--1 ings to get the facts. All this is | a big change —a welcome change ;— over the old days. The voters, as well as political workers, like ' the change. In almost every cam- ' paign the people have all they want of it long before it is over. STATE FOREST LANDS: Indiana is one of a small group of eighteen states having statutes i encouraging the reforestation of private as well as state or public land. Operation of this law has resulted in the classification as forest land of 95,058 acres belonging to l.tilC ?wners and located in 89 of ! the 92 counties. As a result of classification, the land is taxed on a valuation of $1 per acre while the owner protects the area from ‘ grazing and forest fire, and plants i it in trees. lowa is the only other state where special consideration is giv--len the small land owner, that I state having 44,471 acres in 54 i counties and belonging to 2,254 owners. Other states encouraging reforestation through legislation, are chiefly concerned with the large landowner and the commercial tracts of timber. The Division of Forestry, accepted for classification under the I Indiana law, approximately five thousand acres during the past fiscal year. Applications for classification must be followed by inspection of the tract to determine whether additional trees must be planted before it can be accepted, j No tracts of less than three acres | can be accepted and the owner is i free to withdraw his land from ' classification at any time. Persons interested in the operation of this law and the possible classification of land which they I own, can secure information by 1 addressing the Department of Coni servation, Division of Forestry, i State Library Building, Indianapolis. 1 o r TVV KNTY YEARS * I AGO TODAY : From the Daily Democrat File j August 23 — Germans have been forced clear bai.k to the original Hindenburg line.

Is the response to an introduction. “I ain pleased to meet you." all right? A. Avoid this phrase, as it is genI erally meaningless. When true, one' may say, "I have heard George speak of you often,” or, “I have looked forward to knowing you, Mr. Brown.” Q. When one is traveling and asks a stranger for directions to some street or building, is it necessary to thank him? A. Certainly one should do so. It

is rude not say “Thank you.” Q. Isn’t it ail right for a person to use both hands when eating corn i from the cob? . A. Only one hand should he used. ’ —o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two « _4 land. 2. David Farragut. 3. Pennsylvania. 4.

FOUR ARRESTED I AFTER HIM Held In Kidnaping, Assault And Attempted Mutilation Olympia. Wash., Aug. 23 — <U.R>• - Police today arrested Robert Smith. 34, member of a prominent pioneer family, as the fourth suspect in the kidnaping, assault and attempted mutilation of Irving i Baker. 37, former coast guard off-1 leer. Smith was taken into custody at | his farm home near Montesano where one of the other suspects, a | former town marshall, was arrest-| ed. Authorities said Smith had declined to say whether he was in Olympia last Friday night when Baker was beaten. It was not decided Immediately whether charges of kidnaping and assault, already preferred against three men. including Dr. K. W. Berry, a well known and respected 'Olympia physician, would be filed against Smith. Smith's arrest came as Mrs. Elizabeth Berry, attractive 27 year old wife of Dr. Berry, said her husband had “reason to be Jealous'' of Baker. Other than to say she would “stand by her husband.” Mrs. Berry declined to elaborate on her statement. Dr. Berry, 54. William M'-Aloon. once town marshall at Montesano, and James Reddick, taxicab driver, were taken into custody yesterday and charged with the kidnaping and attempted mutilation of Baker. Dr. Berry told officers that the other three men had assisted him I In getting Baker to a gravel pltl where the befiting occured last| Friday night, but that they did not help Mm in administering lashes with a leather strap and in i beating Baker with the butt of a I pistod. A pair of pliers was used In an I attempt to mutilate the former ’ coast guard. Baker did not suffer , permanent injuries, however, and , today he was recovering. Mrs. Baker, mother of a 12 year old boy and a six year old girl, said she did not believe her husband had beeh friendly enough with Mrs. Berry, former university of Washington coed, to arouse Dr. Berry's jealousy. o — ADAMS COUNTY’S (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Linda Niehaus died in the wreck near Monroe on August 12. A hrtle 12-year-old Blue Creek township ! lad, Leslie Stanton, died In the i hospital after his stomach was ripped open by the door handle of an ■ auto. Then the city received word of the death of one of its most prominent citizens, Herman Ehingi er and a former resident. Hugh Hite, both killed near Anderson. Saturday afternoon a pair of crashes claimed one life, another may die, and seven more were rushed to the hospital in bloodstained ambulances and autos. j The county's safety record is i all wiped out. In its plafte is another record — less imposing, but much more impressive. Should each month see as many j deaths for the remainder of the year. 35 will have died in the county by January 1, 1939, 24 more I than last year. Despite the fine I record for the first months of the year, the death toll on the highI ways is already one ahead of last year. “Lose a Minute — Save a Life," once but a momentarily noticed motto on the back of a windshield sticker, now has become the traffic slogan for Adams county motorI pistol. if LAUNCH PROBES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ' of 650 of the 1,481 convicts. The strikers were locked in their cells. ! Slowly, in groups, they surrendered I to their appetites, until Sunday ' afternoon only six were left, the four dead men and the two live convicts who. presumably, were with them when they died. These six, it was said, had not touched food since last Wednesday night. EASTON NAMED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) June 26. Sanders as a prisoner after a traffic accident and the photographer as a friend of Dixon. They saw a stalled automobile and . Dixon got out to Investigate, Sanders said. “What’s wrong, fellows?'’ Sanders said Dixon asked. “She just won't start,” replied ! one of the two men in the car, ! identified by Sanders as Oreile : Easton. Oreile then climbed from the I car and shot Dixon, Sanders testij fied. He said that Clarence was in the rear seat. Asked flatly if Oreile shot Dixon. Sanders asserted emphatically. ! “Yes.” Both Eastons alighted when I Hennings started running, Sanders

said. They fired at him but missed their mark. Then they turned toward Sanders and, finding out he wasn't a policeman, ordered him to “get going.'' In his haste to escape, Sanders recounted, he ran into a barbedwire fence, from which he watched the gunmen stop an automobile in which were deputy sheriffs Joe Kowalczyk and Charles Hahn. “They all got iu the car and drove away,” Sanders said. Hennings’ testimony differed slightly but he said definitely that Oreile was the one who shot Dixon. Hennings thought that Oreile came from the rear of the car when he fired his pistod. Neither of the witnesses changed testimony under a severe cross examination by defense attorney Paul Krueger. Deputy Hahn said at one time j during the wild ride through the
