Make it your headquarters and loafing place. The rooms are over this • office and you are welcome any i • timii i England doesn’t want a war and 1 you can’t blame them Many of ' their leaders remember well the 1 World War and what it did to them along with some twenty other 1 countries. 1 The state highway commission ; • will put several Adams county pro- | jects on the program for next year,:; including the completion of 221 i and the resurfacing of Monroe : street. And these things certainly i won’t hurt a thing. 1 Decatur is going to step forward next year. There will be many improvements and of various kinds and some of the work will start soon. Prepare for a busy year ill which you can make a profit if you work at your job. Teddy House veil used to tell the nation to do things even if you , make some mistakes. If you try , hard enough you will click some- , where along the line. That was . his policy and not a bad one tor every individual to use. And it's , even more important for a com- , • iniuiity. You will be safe in ordering your world series tickets from the Yankee stadium bat there is some ( • doubt whether you ought to write 1 to friends in Pittsburgh or in Chicago or Cincinnati for the National league end of the big match. It’s a hot old race w ith a lot of thrills for the fans. Back and boost the Krick-Tyn-dall Company rebuilding of their big plant. It will put a hundred . mem to work steadily and will grow for the clay here makes the finest drain tile in the country and the business men back of it wish to make it the outstanding factory of its kind in this part of the middle west. — The community meeting called i by the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the Krick-Tyndall Company rebuilding was an old fashioned pep meeting that showed the old spirit. Every one who attend- • ed was enthusiastic over the Z future of this community and . agreed to aid in every way possible. It was a splendid omen and we | insist that there is no way to head off a city, in which every citizen is • interested as you are here. A Marion county grand jury has . returned indictments against fourteen Democrate and ten Republi- • cans as the result of an investigation of primary election frauds last May. It is predicted that oth- ■ era will be filed before the grand jury adjourns. There can be no argument that the sanctity of the ballot must be maintained and. those who arc guilty will probably.

|be punished when they appear In I court under the serious cltarges i preferred, it they can be subetauHated. While the diplomats are Juggl- ‘ ing the peace of Europe the question Is being asked here as to what effect a war would huve on this country. It is entirely a speculai five matter, but we have already seen some of the effects of mere war talk. Security prices have ; broken, while grain prices have i advanced sharply. A business publication, administrative and research corporation, ventures the prediction that foreign trade would suffer somewhat, but less than the . casual observer would think, since the greater part of our foreign commerce is with Great Britain. Canada. Central and South America. The Anglo-United States pact may. in fact, make up whatever. difference in our foreign trade figures would be represented by ■ diminished relations with continen- ' lai Europe A lift may be in sight for producers of heavy goods, food stuffs, mineral products and oil. and cotton. As in 1914-18, employment might be expected to rise sharply. There is small likelihood of a heavy repatriation of foreign funds, except, in some instances, the impounding of such funds by foreign governments to secure pur-' chases here. In fact, it is quite I likely there will be an even greater j flow of foreign moneys to the United States. The dollar, which has gradually been displacing the pound as the world currency peg, should gain even greater ascendany. However, the far-term pros- ■ lied, looking toward 1941 and be- ! yond. will be a further shrinkage' 9 of world purchasing power and an 1 aggravation of the still-unrelieved ‘ effects of the World War. — New- s castle Courier-Times. * LET US DO IT: , I Shall we aid in the rebuilding of tiie Krick-Tyndall till plant? The answer in the affirmative has been .given by some fifty or sixty i representative citizens who met ; Friday evening to listen to the 1 proposal as given by Mr. Leo ‘ Childs, chairman of the board of ( directors, who stated in plain and i understandable language Che situ- ’ at ion. , c Mr. Childs unhesitatingly declared that while they had received offers from various cities, they ; prefer to continue here if it is , possible because of rtie fact that t the plant is a pari of Decatur and 1 11 has been for sixty years, because ; the clay here produces a product unexcelled and because they like the geographical location and our people. If they rebuild it will be the finest plant of its kind in the middle i west, modern in every way and designed to produce tile at the , lowest cost. They will employ a hundred men and this should increase as the business grows. If. there were no other argument this should be sufficient and the fact that former employes are willing to donate work equal to two thousand dollars is evidence that they have faith, but there are other 1 j reasons. It will add to the taxable i property, it will conform with the I other plants here which mauufac-1 ture farm articles, it will add to our population and it will in a i hundred ways, help the city to j ! grow and be more prosperous. The proposition as made, seems | ' more than fair. They must pur-; chase additional land which will not be needed for some years and | they need the financial assistance ; asked. The company is comitoseii of high class men, whose reputa- : tion for honesty, fairness and bus-, iness ability is high class. They arc substantial and will carry out any agreements made. This community lias on various occasions shown their appreciation to corporations seeking location here and this is one that certainly cannot, should not and will not be even hesitated about. The committees arc now being selected and I they will call on you. We hope .every one meets the requests wild'

NOTE UPTURN IN BUSINESS Decline In Unemployment Payments Shows Business Upturn Fort Wayne, Ind.. Sept. 19-f’ay-ment of unemployment compenalion benefits to Indiana workers insured under the unemployment compensation law dropped below half a million dollars last week for the first time in two months. This development, a result of steadily I mounting re-employment of beneficiaries and continued d'Cline In number of new claims resulting from current layoffs, was hailed by officials of the state compensation idivision as a paramount milestone j In the comeback staged by business I from the low points last spring. "The fact tliat benefit payments ito totally and partially unemployed I insured workers has dropped by I more than $200,000 per week in two months is one of the best pieces of business news that will develop this month.” said C. F. Kixmlller, deputy in charge of unemployment compensation in the Fort Wayne • district. •‘lt is good news for business not to much in that it represents reduced charges against the unemployment Compensation trust fund as that it indicates that maurfacturing and business concerns have resumed or speeded up op. rations | where they had been shut down or ' curtailed. "It is also doubly good news to workers. More than 60.000 have ! been put back on their regular pay- ' roll and chances for early re-em-ployment of thonsancs of others ■have been greatly improved. At the same time possibility of layoffs has been reduced for those who have I not as yet been hit by either total ■or partial loss of regular earnings , since the job insurance plan started operating in April. “There is also pood news for , those now totally or partially unem- ‘ ployed, in the continued payment of benefits which numbered 41,360 checks valuetl at 3481.43512 last week, against a peak of 59,400 payL ments totaling $689,578.51 in the week ending August 6. The last week for which less than half a miljj lion dollars was claimed was that ™ ending July 20. In 20 weeks payI ments for total and partial loss of ' wages have reached ?8 388,905.44. 11 "Os the 60,000 benefit claimants 1 who have gone back to their jobs, about 52.000 received some part of the benefits to which they had estahßshed rifftit. while auoiii-. -"" ' were not out of work long euoujjh to finish their waiting periods. More than 40.000 have returned to a work since the first of Aliens', e while in the same 6 weeks only. h "Those who have returned to !• work during their benefit periods can receive the balance of their i- benefits at any time they again n become unemployed during the 52 weeks from the start of their beneI. fit period. Also while work ng they I. are building up earnings on which future benefit period cau be based. e Those who never entered their it nenefit periods are continually presrving a maximum eligibility for d benefits if and when they do become either totally or partially tinn employed. t “Continuing to reflect the re-em-s n Czech Army Chief rWP| /i* 71 """ 7 ' ' ■ -«—• — as-* Jan Syrovy As the Czechoslovak government shifts more troops into the troubled Sudeten area in connection with the minority crisis the personage of General Inspector Jan Syrovy of the Czech army i bobs into the world news.
