Start next week off with an advertisement that aHI attract the 1 buyera to your stole. It won't coat you much and it will increase your volumu. The German U-boats are getting busy and with terrible results it seems. It certainly ought to be Important business that takes one on the high seas these days. These days of a hundred in the shade may be alright bnt they are hard for the fellow who anticipates cool nights and comfortable days in September. They are rather hard to take. _______ Thursday was the hottest day here in more than three years, the thermometers at the government station in Fort Wayne registering Idl and that's something for any month in the year. The Indiana fair, again the biggest and beat, is over and attendance records have again been smashed. From every county In the state, great throngs attended and the verdict is good from every ouc. The county council “whacked some 211.000 off the proposed appropriations and reduced the tax levy from seventy-two Ceuta as proposed to sixty-tbrßs cents, a very good showing At least that s probably the way the average taxpayer feels. The duke aud duchess of Windsor have returned to England where they will offer their services for that country In auy way they can be used during the war. They are a colorful pair with many characteristics that attract tavw able feelings Maybe the president will decide we don't need art extra session at this time, which would meet the approval of most people. When congress is In session there is always a confusion in bualttcaa that We could get along without pretty well this autumn Mr McNutt, by virtue of his position sa security administrator has been made a temporary mombet of the president a cabinet durIng the crisis. Jesse Jours of the' RFf and John M Carmody, works ' administrator are also attending the cabinet meetings. A few editors are still fuaalug and fuming about the change ot date for Thanksgiving. No need of that for there la nothing to prevent those who so desire, thanking God for ail Illa blessings, every day In the year. You can pick out your owu day If you prefer. if you think u » a pfoaw to please the tax payers and those who wsut 1

Mr. Greenwood. English labor 1 leader mid member of parliament, wants the censor lifted so they can get some good news along with the J bad. The difficulty is that in this * ; age of rapid transit of news, the : , enemy then knows just what is ' going on. About the only way you will ever know about all the movements in this war will be to wall • until its over and then read some ! twenty volumM. It s O. K with us if the strict I > envoi ship is iuuttnued in Europe. ; After all there is a lot of good , sense in what one of the high officials told an American reporter I who was insisting on some real I .news The officer said. “Don't be* so impatient. after all this la our war. not yours.'' Ot course a little later when they want to borrow money or obtain other favors, he ■night be reminded of his remarks i A laudable campaign next week will be that of the Salvation Army •hi* b will make Its annual effort to raise money for this good cause, always helping the "down and outer."

I* Hogs slipped off in price which ' was not unexpected to those who , realised that the rush of prices was a build Up due largely to the sudden rush of buyers who feared 1 j realm tlous Prices will adjust themselves. They may be slightly higher because ot an added demand but there can be no sound basis tor I a boom such aa was started last, week. Prices of farm products should be higher than they haver been thia summer but It's a good time for every one to use judgnwmt . it we would avoid uupk-asant regulation of prices. There seems lo be no doubt that the Decatur Power aud Light Piaui has reached a point where a very , important decision must be made.t whether we will continue to ex- i l»and it to take cars of auy Indus- 1 j trial plants that may come, provide a tow power rate aud boas' . one of the best plants In the country or be content to take care ot ’ ordinary demands It is a decision that one would want fullest InforI mation on before deciding and the 1 council has that or will have it] | shortly, and will then be required! | to act to their beat judgment.
