This is tax paying month and the sooner the job is taken care of the better. After all we get a lot for our money here in Decatur 1 and Adams county and as long as , the money thus raised is wisely j spent, we have no complaints to offer. It's wonderful to have new imI provements, to keep up with and a step ahead of other counties and j communities but we should keep in mind that to have these things, we must pay something. The taxes are extremely low when we consider the fine roads, schools and . other public benefits we have. Whether you are requested or not, you can give to the industrylabor fund. Any amount you feel you can spare will be appreciated, with the assurance that every penny will be used to aid the community and without expense of over head. It's an all together enterprise to help employes of the community. The campaign is warming up and a big district Democratic meeting at Fort Wayne Wednesday of this week will be an important one. Thousands will gather there to hear issues discussed and to complete plans for the final month of an intensive, battle to support President Roosevelt and keep this nation going forward.

Without any blare of trumpets, ! almost in secr oc y, President i , Roosevelt acted to prevent war In ' Europe that eventually might have again involved every nation of the ■ I world. He has proven himself a . 1 real diplomat and a genuine Chris- I I tiun gentleman, deserving of the I sincere support of the citizens of l this greatest democracy in the ■ ’ world. j ( The various committees are at i work on the big job of raising the 1 funds that will guarantee the re- ; J building of the Krick-Tyndall i plant. Help them Ity being as gen--1 erous and as courteous as you can. • Give to the Krick-Tyndall fund. It's very important that we restore this concern and help to make it the finest plant of its kind in the I middle west. The settlement of affairs in Europe just two hours before they would have plunged into a world I war is pleasing to every one. There are no benefits from war and there are millions of heart aches and tragic occurances. To President Roosevelt and to Premier Chamberlain will go much credit for the diplomatic and ex- ' I cellent services rendered. The campaign is on to raise the i necessary funds that will guaran- i tee the rebuilding of the Krick- 1 Tyndall plant. It must and will i succeed for it means the return to daily work of a hundred men now ■ and more in the future. It means ‘ doing things worth while, it means | lifting the community out in front j even farther than we are now in | comparison to other cities. Give I and give gladly. The Democrats have acted wise- ! ly in drafting for another term j i Governor H. Lehman of New York, j He. has one of the best records of |1 any executive in the United Stat- ; es and will prove a strong contend- | er for his fourth term. His oppon- ‘ ent is Thomas E. Dewey, prosecutor in the big city who has had con- 1 clmv idi/xf- pubuviiy bevauae of iu» efforts in breaking up gangster i ; rings. At that he lias made a rec- j ord but in many other ways he is not considered prepared to handle i | the affairs which are second only i to those of the federal government. It will be a good race to watch ; with Lehman as the favorite. A survey of the sentiment of the ■ people of the United States towards President Roosevelt has I been completed by Fortune magazine, a periodical that is consideri ed one of the most conservative ! in the country. It discloses that | ■ 67% of the people of the United States are for him, a four per | cent increase over 1936. Millions ‘ do not agree with him on every | 1 thing, do not coincide fn his program to regulate the election of , senators, but they do believe in ■ his sincerity and feel he is the one man to continue his fight for them j and their interests the next two ! years. I The state police are doing a good j job when they slow up speeders i going through the town of Philadelphia, but their action is merely a treatment of a syinpton and not curing the disease. The people of Philadelphia and in hundreds of ■ other small towns on main roads should be safe to walk along the highways of their communities. Arresting speeders helps temper- , arily, but does not insure the se- i curity that should be guaranteed . to pedestrians. The real need is | for sidewalks along the roads in | towns along much-traveled routes. There are districts that have bej come thickly populated and yet i have no place, except on the highj way. for residents to walk. There , 1 may be complications in the law or in the authority of the State Highway Commission in regard to ;I he construction of sidewalks. If there are, those should Ite eliminated. — Indianapolis Star. _ I 500 Sheets 8)4x11 Yellow Second Sheets, 35c. Dccatar Democrat Company. ts

Is it permissible for a man to examine the items on his check when dining with a girl in a restau-1 rant? A. Yes; he may do so in a causual manner to see if any error has 1 been made. 1 I . — * I FRtp W. BRAUN C) rjfie I There are two things that you should give your children —a good example and a good educa- j tion. A good example is also a safe ' example. Recently I had a very strange 1 experience. 1 saw a young child, whom I had just overheard fell his , mother that he had been instruct- , 1 ed not to cross in the middle of the block, suddenly and literally yanked off the sidewalk in the! middle of the block by his parent; and inarched across the street. That kind of example belittles ! the safety effort and the safety 1 idea in the mind of the child. Set the right and the safe example. _o—j* TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Matron is pronounced may'- | i I fron; not mat'-ron. ♦

LIFE HINGES ON I CHILD'S STORY Girl’s Version Os Shooting May Send Father To Chair Brokfleld, 111.. Oct. 3 —(U.R>— * .Martha Jean Matter. 12. had this decision to make today: Whether to stand by a story that might send her father to the electric chair for the murder of her moth- I er or revert to her original state- I meat that her mother had committed suicide. Her mother died at home Saturday night from a bullet wound in the heart. At first Martha Jean 1 told police she had seen her moth- : er. Marguerite. 45. seize an army I rifle and shoot herself. She changed her story yesterday after she had talked with her aunt. Her new \ account prompted police to file a murder charge against her father. James J. Matter, 47. a world war j veteran, who until a few months ago had earned S9OO a month as an hidustrlal engineer. Martha Jean will be called on ;»t a coroner's inquest today. She i may give details of the story jeopardizing her father or Insist her I mother was a suicide. Her testimony will determine largely wheth- ; I er the murder charge, one less serious. or none at all will be press- , ed against her father. Matter himself told police chief > Thomas Mahcruney shortly after, the slaying that his wife had shot hfrselT. But Mahonney was not satisfied. The distance from the muzzle of the rifle to the trigger is 33 inches and the length of Mrs. I Matter’s arm was only 27 iifthes. He questioned Martha Jean. She supported her father until her aunt, Mrs. Jean Markley, arrived from Detroit. Mrs. Markley took the child into her arms. “Tell me about it, Martha Jean," she said. The hlld's tears ceased. She told this story: “I was in another bedroom with James and Bobby (her brothers, four and two years old), when I heard a shot and I ran into moth- , er's bedroom She was lying on the bed and 1 saw blood. Daddy was wf]>ing the gun with a handkerchief. He gave me the empty shell and told me to keep it. “1 went to get iodine and water from the bathroom —that's what mother always did tor us when we were hurt — but when I got • back daddy said she was dead. He I told bis to go back to my room.” ■ Mahonney asked her what she i had done with the shell. “Here it Is," she said. She took 1 it from the pocket of her dress. Deaf Mute New Citizen Oakland.
