That's hot only good for the man in the ring but its Juel as smart for the man who is I battling life In a business office, in the factory, in cun tract work, on the farm or any where you may be working. Bicycle riders will save themselves some trouble and perhaps a hue if they learn the new regulations and obey them. The changes ; were made because so many acci- ‘ dents have occurred recently over the state and to further improve traffic conditions. If the weather man will kindly j close the faucets be will bestow I a favor on most every one in this I middle west country. The crops need attention that cannot be given as long as the farmers can t g«-t into the fields and it's hay making and almost wueat cutting time. The board of tax review began its hearings today with representatives from the six north townships presenting objections. Other units of the county will be heard with Decatur day fixed for next Tuesday. Those desiring to be heard I are urged to present their com* I plaints on the day scheduled for their particular unit as has been published. The Louls-t'.alento fight next Wednesday night is expected to draw a half million dollars from ! the "suckers" who will go with the expectation, if not the hope, that a lucky blow from the twoton bar tender may put the brown bomber to sleep. Up to date no fighter has been developed that looks like he had a chance against the champ. Last Sunday s New York Times revealed that a gain of almost four points advanced the Times' Index of Business Activity to 89.8 tor the week ending June 10. This was the highest level reached by the index since the week ending February 4 four full months ago. It was 3.8 higher than the week ending June 3. and 13 2 higher than the week ending June 11. 1838. Shelbyville has closed her bingo games which were going big after Marion county banned the attractive form of gambling. The game has grown In popularity because of the opportunity to get a lot of money for a small Investment. Os course the winner has to be the lucky one out of hundreds but some one is losing each evening and that adds to the pulling power of the scheme. It Is of course strictly B violation of taw. Judge Manton of the federal judiciary has been fined 310,000 and sentenced to two years In prison for accepting bribes for decisions He will pay dearly for his crims which to next to treason. He has sold out his government

land will carry during his life and pass on lo his children a disgrace that will be unbearable. Ho served twenty-two years in his high ■ position and to the first V. 8 judge to be thus stigmatized in the 15" > years the court system has existed Heavy losses during the depression are said to have caused him to , "sell out." Hrrshell Nash has linen appoint- I <»d to have charge rd the city elec- ! trie lines and with the old veteran 1 i M J. Mylon. who has been on the , I job since 1890, will see that every I I thing la continued tn ship shape I manner. Decahtr has one of the greatest power and tight plants In the middlvst west and one of the , best In America for the alxe of, I the city. During the time Mr. I I Myiott has served, be has watched I the plant grow from a 133 h.p. outfit i Ito an k.ooo h p plant and* the light; I system here become better than I I must cities twice our size. We I wish both men continued success.' The truck tire law is now tffec- ' I live and regardless of the fact ! that Governor Townsend does not I like it, he realizes his duty is to j I enforce it since it was discussed and approved by the recent seas-, ion of the legislature. At least it was not repealed and truck di ivers arc liable to arrest. The state ; police have been ordered to enforce the law and will du so. Those ' who w liltully oppose it by refusing , I to comply are. it would seem, only ■ I making trouble tor themselves. If a law Is not right or fair, the | effort should be lo change or re- j j peal it. not to disregard or violate it. —■ Well, any way, old Doc Town- ■ send got himself a pretty good job I when he hatched the old age pension plan. He has traveled far and in comfortable style and has probably drawn a good salary. Hundreds of others also are in on the various plans for raising money on a percentage on straight pay. Charges have been made that they don t want the question settled as long as they can hold one. Whether that's true or not we don't know but usually there are a num- i tier of people connected with natjional organizations who are tn the (work for what they get out of It rather than because of their earnestness for the cause. The old age Townsend pension I advocates will go after those conIgn semen who voted against their bill recently. 303 being ou the black 1 list. It includes Mr. Gillie of the fourth Indiana who had indicated a friendliness to the measure but at the last moment decided the. bill aa prepared was not what they wanted. They seem to think they know more about that than Dr. George does and so the fight goes merrily on. At least the candl-1 dates will have to be on one aide side or the other and mean It and that means plenty of grief. They arc particularly after Charles Halleck of the M-cond district whom they will oppose in the primary and again In the general election if he wins out. The initiative living taken by the Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce in circulating a usestionnalre among the merchants us to the desirability of a city-wide j sales promotion Is a tine step, i Buch a move has been discussed imipy times but no thorough effort j has been made to find whether it would meet with general approval. If the majority of merchants favor I such a sale, it can be made a sue-I cess through whole-hearted sup-' port. If it Is not desired by the ' merchants, the question can be dropped. The Important thing is | that thia group of young men and women are Interested enough In the welfare of the community to provide a convenient means of expression of opinion. Nothing can be very much wrong with America as long as we keep on producing such sincere young people. h.

Indiana hasn't enough public do- ( main left to accommodate two or ’ i three normal ant hills. There 1 simply isn't any more. The last , vestige of an area which once com-1 prised more than 23,w0.wu acres happened to be a quarter-ot-au-acre Island iu Huffman take, near Warsaw. The passing of this remnant of public land represented a tar cry from the excitement which , once attended the sale of many sections of government-held areas. There waa no mad dash of settlers ' and prospectors to grab choice sites The necessary formalities ■ consisted only of a prosaic auction sale in Washington, at which seven bidders were represented. The government had announced in its ' sale proposal that the minimum bid would be 43 06. plus the coal of advertising the sale in a Hoot- ‘ ler newspaper. Sentiment must have played a part in the bidding, for the speck of land appraised at 43.96 waa sold to an Indianapolis couple for 468.

LONG'S BROTHER TO BE GOVERNOR Late Huey Long’s Brother To Be Governor Os Ixiuisiana Baton Rouge, tta.

Gov. Richard W. Lerhe. heir lo Long's empire of swamps and red clay hills, announced last night ■ that he was resigning "before the • end of next week." He said Hi | sew was forcing his retirement, i He will be succeeded by Lieut, j Gov. Earl K. Long, Huey Long a ' youfiger brother.
