Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Have you had an enjoyable vacation? Decatur has a clean record so far this year In auto fatalities, j Help keep it that way. Drive safely and observe the speed laws. Maintain a confident and happy spirit. We always get over the hard roads and then enjoy smooth riding again. Life has its ups and downs and there is so much to be thankful for, that it doesn't pay to lose faith. The beet crop is in good condition and plans are being made to start the annual sugar making campaign at the local factory. The mill will open earlier thau usual and a three month to a one-him-dred-day is anticipated. Operation of the Central Sugar factory reflects to the benefit of a wide area, for "What Indiana makes, makes | Indiana.” - — -I — The street department was complimented by a local citizen for j the thorough cleaning given the alleys in the up town district. The department makes every effort to keep the streets and alleys clean and where a little care can be exereised in helping keep the public thoroughfares tidy, the effort shows better results. If you see a dirty town, you see a poor town. Work will begin next month on the construction of Schroyer lake, on the Ben Schroyer farm, northeast of Decatur. It will be a fine i improvement. The WPA men will do the work and plans call for a 25-acre body of water, tapering in i depth to 14 feet. There is a need for such a place and with the proper steps and attention, it no doubt could be developed into j something worth while. ' All the proposed budgets in the various taxing units in the county, except the school boards which j have until September 13 to adopt ! them, have been published. The ! estimates will be checked by the proper officials and approval given by tlie tax bodies before they are , certified as final. P's a job which is tedious in detail, but important that it be doue correctly and earnestly. The back to school campaign is on. Enrollments in the high school can be made this week, preparatory to resuming classes September (i. Young folk who have the! opportunity to go to high school should not miss the chance. Education is important those days and four years in high school is worth more than Ihe sacrifice it might entail at the time. Decatur offers you good high schools and invites you to continue your education. Decatur is happy to welcome Rodney Braudon of Quincy, 111., child welfare worker and one ot the founders of Mooseheart. Mr. Brandon is a Hoosier, formerly | living in Anderson. He will' ad- j

[ dress the teachers at their anuual Institute Tuesday and his talk will uo doubt be Instructive and editi cational. Mr. Brandon is deeply interested In child welfare and | providing care for orphan children. His work ill the interest of Mooseheart is an achievement of which ’ he can be proud. I The Illinois Bell Telephone company will not provide service to the bookie offices and gambling joints which transact their business over the ’phone. The dej cision will handicap the relaying of Information and bets and is | done with the idea of cooperating 1 with the law eforcement officers, it sounds constructive. Newspapers do not run advertisements of gambling nature aud nearly ! every paper keeps a watchful eye on Its columns so that fake ads do not slip into its columns. The | telephone policy is in line with this standard. ■ We were asked what the governors salary was in Indiana and j went to the World Almanac for Information. It is surprising how f little the ehief executive’s office ! pays in salary. The governor of Indiana receives SB,OOO a year. l ; This is in addition to the governor's home, sometimes referred to as the mansion. It is a plain home, no better than a number iu this ; city. The smallest salary paid a governor is in South Dakota. He receives $3,000 a year. New York is high with $25,000, while In ! Michigan, the chief executive receives $5,000. Maine pays $5,000 ! aud Ohio, SIO,OOO a year. FACING THE ELECTION CONFIDENTLY: Senator Van Nuys, in his intelligent and Instructive address before ! the Democratic Editorial Associ- 1 ation at French Lick, summarized | some of the major pieces of leg’s- j iation passed by the Congress in , the last five and one-half years. The senior senator from Indiana i said: “If we have been derelict iu our duty along tlidsc lines, wo do i not deserve to be returned to power. Oil the other hand, if our j stewardship has been all that reasonably could be expected under the circumstances then in all . fairness we ought to be permitted i to finish the job.’’ Seator Van Nttys sketchily outi lined the important laws passed in | the Roosevelt administration, in-j i eluding the banking, agriculture, labor, HOLC, PWA, WPA, wages j and hours, social security, and j federal housing measures, and the ' beneficial policies followed to aid bus.ess, the veterans and promote ■ ! peace. Closing his speech, the senator | said, “With this record of the problems and achievements of the past five aud a half years, we confidently face the on-coming election. We welcome a close scrutiny and ; unbiased appraisal of our stewardship. We do this because we believe iu the American people. We I believe iu their fairness and their j ability to weigh and dispassioute- ; ly judge all perplexing public problems. “We hail with delight the in- ; creasing interest iu political aud j | governmental affairs upon the part of all classes of our voters, especially the young men aud young , women of the country. This bei ittg a country of, by and for the people, the more enlightened and articulate the people become, the more ready the response upon the part of political parties and the ! government itself. That is the American way and it must be maintained,” No administration in history has such a glorious record of helpful legislation as that of the Roosevelt administration and the Democratic party candidates face the campaign confident that the mass of people approve of it. — o 500 Sheets B'/sxll, 20-lb.

CRIME IS MARK OF IMPROVEMENT Savant Argues Washington. Other Leaders Broke Old Laws I,os Angeles. Aug. 29 - (U.R) — Cr'nte Is n necessary element for progress, according to Dr Knight Dunlap, professor of phychology at the University of Southern California. Taking issue with the average American cltlxen who has such an abhorrence of any kind of crime that he believes crime is unnecessary, Dr. Dunlap in a story about to be published by the University the highways. Recently a newspaper editor published a warning on the front page of hfs paper prior to one of these week-end holidays. It anttounced that any automobile driver who intended to violate all the rules of the road during these crowded days, who was going to pass cars on hills, go throngh stop lights, and drive recklessly, should leave a complete obituary with the editor so reporters would not have to bother relatives after the smashttp. Very timely, quite forceful and effective. We endorse this recommendation.
