The cool brresr yesterday almost ■ f unlisted another reason why it baa been anceseaiy to have heat in the bouse every month this year. —e— We suppose that Klikland would have gone along even if King George bad been kill'd by a Nakl air bomb, but the sacrifice of his life mlih' have so Stirred Great Britain that two Hiller armies ■ ouMn't lick them —o federal Necurtiy Administrator McNatt nays be la playing a lucky j hunch He will he IS years old next j Friday, July IS. ami that la tb-- day i on which the Democrats will name a man for vice-president If he wins, happy birthday, —o If precedent la to l>e broken by tke nomination of l*r*sideut Rome ] volt for a third term, it is also alg-1 nite ant that a doxen leading men I are avowed and open ■ atididaten for vice-president. Thais even stranger than sic tion —o Millionaires and people ot foteign f titles are comhtg to this country as taxi as they can get transportation. bringing with them what the y can carry or ship, and not carrying many titles they leave Ice-1 hind After all Ame rica la the ■ greatest place- on earth, even if you don't have a dime —o There are worries other Hum the war and the profit and loss side of business. Edna Wallace Hopper, famous actress, known as the "eternal Happen is having her face lifted for the third time. Trying to keep youthful la harder than I taking It as It comes, but c hanging one's face at 76 Is a different kind ‘•f worry. Every day additional features and exhibits for the street fair and agricultural show are being lecoked and contracted and the whole thing is roiling up Into one of the finest fairs ever tn he staged The dates. July 29 to August 1, are being well advertised over the territory and attendance records will be broken. —o H io encouraging to note that work baa been resumed on the Bchiuyer lake project north of lieenter. All the legal technlcalltlM kava been straightened out and With favorable weather and Ito ehatige In the WPA set up. tbo work should be c ompleted In Ibe next few months. Every effort should be made to have it completed so the public can enjoy its bt*cflio. -0 Parents, school pntroas. tax payers and other Interested persons are invited to a public meeting Monday ulght at the Junlor-lteulor high school at which time the De-

catur school board will bear opinions about disbanding the old Ro«<h Ward building The school trustees will make known their de rislon and tbs publie is Invited to hear the reasons which determine the action of the board n- 'ov— Tickets fur the Democratic convention are about as scarce as ben's teeth only 350 being allotted to Indiana while near in thousand persons have applied for the ducats Chicago might try constructing a larger auditorium and making it available for political c*mventions Despite the fact that radio brings a running story of the convention deliberations, the people like to see the colorful show and watch political leaders work. * —o Indiana farmer's income for last year totaled 43o!»»l6<«»» representing an increase over IM*, but not as large as in the two previous years We wish It was twice as much The more new wealth that Is produced from the soil or on the farm, the greeter the prosperity of the country In this county, it was estimated that the gross farm Income for the same year was about five million dollars, whh h is better than the average for the 92 counties In the state Maybe 194" will Ire even better. A "A Wise Henator Me Nary has told bls he ad man Wlllkie to cut out his wlsc-c racking. The Job Os president evidently Is something that the- Republican candidate- knows . little ahout and the Oregon statesman who has been a member of tb<- senate for 23 years, is probably ■ trying to get him hep to things. In I ' these days, it is the moat import ant office in the world as far as > Americans arc concerned and McNary knows from experience that you can't be a Jack Henny and get by with It in the White House. | -v He boot units in Indiana have re- I reived |13.X33 4«M> from the gross income tax distribution toward the) payment of school teachers, on the ! basis ot >7OO per teaching unit. No tax is perfect we admit and regardless of what system used, there are instances where some pay mote heavily than others. But the ' I I gross Inc ome tax has lowered prop t erty taxes, kept our schools go- I * ing. the teachers paid and la c heap er than a sales tax. In the sur-' rounding states the sales tax Is ' applied cm every purchase of more 1 4 than a clime and in a year's time 1 the Individual pays more than un- ; ‘ der tbe Indiana tax plan —o Sheriff Ed Miller has been commended by the State Welfare De- j i parlment for tbe splendid manner I I I in which he keeps the county jail ( The report. filed With the county ]| ccctninlssioiiera and at the state ’ house comments an follows: "The ( Jail was Immaculately clean, and < with minor improvements will con- 1 tiuue to serve the needs of the county for many years." The in- , spec-tors found everything In tip ; 1 lop shape and although we are not advertising the bastlie us a home I for everybody we are glad to know ] that our public Institutions are ( kept Clean and well managed The | sheriff and his faintly have dune a good shob In the supervision of! tbe place and deserve the com- . meudalion given them. —o—o—•BEING IB BELIEVING: It is almost certain that by the time another presidential election rolls aronad. wide drelea of voters will not only read about the candl- * dates In the papers, hear their voices on the air, but sec- them In action via television. Muc h speculation Is now aroused over tbe possible offset of ibis on ' political campaigns. For to all tbe many talents now required by high political aspiration will be added ' the ability to "mug" convincingly while speaking or campaigning.
