Americans generally want Jack Dempsey to win his fight. ■■■ Help yourself and help business. Huy at local stores on Twin Dollar ' Deys. Friday and Saturday. Indiana lakes were popular, places over the Fourth, hundreds of families enjoying au outing at the resorts. The town will be attractively and colorfully decorated for Street I Fair Week, a necessary thing to do to convey the home-coming aud, festive spirit. Some will have accidents or other reasons tor remembering the Fourth of July, but the mass will think back to 1»3» as the last year when they had firecrackers. A woman is never too busy to shop for a bargain. In Decatur uext Friday and Saturday there will be hundreds of bargains in the Twm Dollar Day ofllerlugs. From now on we head towaid the end of summer. The doming uiwnihx will afford vacations and the period of time when we can re-1 las a little, not concerned by conditions which winter creates. Dr. Smith, former head of Louisiana State University. has bi-en arrested and returned to Baton Rouge. He may talk and give the press a little more information | about the scandals In his state. The business curve continues upward. a survey of retail and menufact tiring plants show. June was a better month than Muy and it appears that the summer months will be more brisk than a year ago ==— Several thousand people enjoyed the fireworks exhibit at Hanna Nuttman park last evening. It was spectacular and entertaining and worth seeing. The program was •taged by Adams Post of the Am ericsn Legion, a public service, appreciated by all. The talking pictures not only entertain, hut keep one abreast of the advancing times. We were never so Impressed with the directors art in filming new attractions •a the recent picture showing a ten month-old child smile when he was suppled to. and cry whim tears were called for. A prodigy the producers say. A blatant appeal to selfish Interest and greed even at the coat of American life, was conveyed In an advertisement in the New York Herald-Tribune hy a brokerage firm which stressed the Increased profits resulting from war. it read •s If they favored war merely for the sake of profits, regardless of the sorrow and grief caused by *orld couflkt.

In Indiana we don’t know much ' about "toll gates" for motorists, our roads being huilt without going Into debt or through the bond method But tn the country there i are 35U.000 toll gates at bridges , i and super roads, a number far | greater than moat of us Imagined Some states build all their bridges ; ’ through a toll tax. I The current statement of the i First State Bank continues to re* L fleet the splendid financial condli j.tlon of this institution. The lunik J baa total deposits of more than I 32,100.000 and loans for about half II , that amount, with cash and bond reserves exceeding a million dollars. Overdrafts are almost nil. the item being listed at only 96 | cents. That's probably one of the ' lowest In the That business txioin which Engi land is n< w enjoying follows quick!ly the visit of King George to North America. No doubt the I crown has made favorable connections throughout the world and . Britishers admit that is one job the I king and royalty should go. Get business for England. Following ’ President Roosevelt’s trip to South I America, Imports to that country , increased from the United States. Through good will and friendship ' lays the best way to boost nations and their p "The- only way In which we can over hope to bring about a happier state of human affairs la hy doing j so first of all within our own bailiwick.' Hendrik William Van Loon, genial philosopher-historian. advises in an article in the Rotarian I magazine He concludes with the ■ following suggestion: "If each one < of us will take care of his own particular front yard, then we shall have a pleasant village in which to live: and a world full of pleasant villages would be a pretty I decent one for most everybody." The detour on V. U. road 27 north of Decatur was lifted ahead of the Fourth of July traffic, much i to the appreciation of those who , traveled this important highway Decatur is bottled up with only one road leading into town from the north, but with the construe* ' Hon of the by-pass over Thirteenth street and north to Monmouth, thia condition will be eliminated. If the present state mad is closed. , normal traffic conditions can be 1 enjoyed over the new run-around. It win be a big improvement when completed. Picking the right man for the I right job is the work of a good 1 executive. No newspaper will sug- , ge»t that when Governor Townsend selected Alfred F. Dowd to serve as warden of the great pen! tetltiary at Michigan City, he did select the right mau. No one will suggest that he chose this man because of his politics, and without I I reference io his capacity. That ' I became evident when Warden Dowd was faced by one of those incidents that occur at times when | men In captivity make a desperate | break for their freedom. When ] three prisoners held a welfare | I worker, on her trip through the i prison, as hostage, threatening het h •uh r|. .ch utiieag they were given |i I their freedom. Warde n Dowd never I lost his head nor hla sense of j duty. Trained police officers dr* I elare that the Incident might easily H have become a hol.xaust under a ' man with less coolness and leas ] courage. They give him credit for j 'he fact that the Incident did not j •urn the Indiana prison Into a<* 1 - Tb-v ; manner In which ho handled the j situation with the utmost tearless- |l ‘teas, risking his own life to save I that of the welfare worker.
