It you dvu t think there I* a lot I e of building and repairing going on in Decatur, try to hire a tradesman. You have to get a date and usually it's a week or two ahuad. The summer season starts off as though we may get some real hot stuff before the cooling breeses of September come. The thermometer has already been up to M for a record thia early.

This section needs rain and a couple of inches of it. The beets

and other crop* are not coming up and only a fear showers will help the situation. The spring baa been unusnally dry. It's circus day and tbe kids are happy. Nothing has ever been devised that takes the place of the big three ring show. There is something about it that makes us all youngsters again and that a always a good thing. Tommy Smith who tried to fly tbe Atlantic in his midget plane had all the nerve of Lindbergh but probably not the foresight He carried only IC7 gallons of gas, fought a storm for hours and apparently was foolish to attempt the feat. Wilbur Shaw, who won the bpeedway race the second limo Tuesday, got hia early race training with a team of fast goats. He won a goat classic al the Shelby county fair, showing line generalship and the ability to slay out in front More than fourteen thousand acres of sugar beets have been planted in this territory but unless «e have some showers soon, a lot of the seeds will not sprout through. It's a serious moment for those interested In neat autumns campaign. Congressmen who try to favor both sides of the Townsend pension plan are In “hot water." Whatever they do or say is wrong to those who expected other action. They will be so busy explaining their vote they won’t have much time for any thing else in nest year's campaign. Early guessing and bettmg on who will be nominated tor president by either party in 1840 is a haphazard business at best, especially when a number of tbe condidates now suggested are at an age when a lot of things can happen tn a year. After all the candidate must be physically St.

During th* past l several year* he ha* served in an important capacity with the state | auto license department, traveling over thia *ectlou of the elate and passing upon those who tost their driving licenses. Always fair and just, he had the reputation of being one of the best Investigator* In that department. Prior to that Mr. Hower for mauy year* conducted a grocery store on W**t Monroe street and wa* recognised as a leading buain*** man. He served with credit *» a member of the Decatur school board, wm active in cburch and lodge circle* and took great int«r**l in all things pertaining to the general good.
