Now it's time to get the lawns back lu condition. o—o The week-end loss was about average and that's big enough in this country where we kill more in traffic than the war countries do in battle. —o Stick away a few Uoiiils or postal saving stamps now and be ready i for what ever comes in the future. They are the safest investments you can male. O—O— Several were killed and about fifty injured In traffic accidents in Indiana over the week-end That a another re< ord of which we Hoosiers can't be very proud. a—o— The RAF will see that planes sent from here to Canada will be safely flown acroMt the ocean Many have wondered why they didn't take this step of precaution months ago. Several sports writers are picking Billy Conn to win in his battle this week over Joe Louis, but to do it he will have to overcome a lot of w-tght, reach and experience that doesn't appear possible to the average layman. O—O The Boy Scouts had a good time at the Portland Jamboree. Three troops from Decatur and two from Berne, a total of 1(2, attended. When a crowd of several hundred youngsters get together, you may be sure they will have a lot of fun while learning valuable lessons. Th« y report a fine session. O—O Italy has tied up assets of the I'aited States In that country in reprisal for similar action against Italian funds here, ordered Saturday. It was expected and Americans who are having difficulty in cashing their checks there, should have been prepared. It’s one of the incidents of the war period. —o Friends of Bob Porter, former Decatur lad. are happy over his appointment to the United States Naval Academy. He has taken the preliminary examination and passed it successfully and will now take the physical exam. It la believed be will pans and will soon be training In the most famous school of it’s kind in the world. , —' -O O They are sparring for position in the world war Just now and we can expect some new showing soon. Whether it will be the long expected attack on the British Isles or a march into Russian territory is disputed by some, denied by others

and believed quite llk« |y by many There seems no poaoibilty of early settlement. —o General opinion is opposed to the proposed J-cent a check tax on bank checks. not because of the money but because of the nuisance. It la said thia tax would produce about sixty million dollars a year but II would be about the moat unpopular means of money raising that <an be devised, according to past experiences. The remonstrance tiled by Ko property owners indicate some diss4tlstl.il tlon and will no doubt mean some delay In the Improvems nt so vigorously espoused by many petitioners The action will at least postpone the work until tall since the matter cannot be brought to issue until the September term of court convenes. ■ o—o — 1 Young men and women who van do so should plan to attend college next winter. Attendance is expect, ad to be leas than for several years beta use of the fact that many young men are in camp and be- < ause many others are employed. That gives you your opport unity for college trained men and women will be iu even greater demand in four years than now. Go If you can for you will never regret it. —o The New York Yanks ar, oil the march again and unless something happens to them, they will be hard to head off. They are two games behind the Cleveland Indians, but going strong In the National league the St Louis Cardinals have a two-gamv margin over the Brooklyn Itodgers. with both teams going strong. It looks like a tliush that will make every fan hang on to bis radio the last week or two of the season. O—o Fort Wayne lost two prominent and widely reepected citizens over the week-end, Patrick J. McDonald, 82, and John C. Stablhut, 75. The former had tor years served as president of the People's Trust A Savings company and the latter was tire chief of his city for fifteen yearr and served as a fireman Itaif a century. These men were respeitvd and dependable citizens who did much for their community by rendering service and there is widespread sorrow over their |>asumg.

For thirty years Senator Harrison has been a power iu congress and the senate, always battling for the majority and the common mau.

Howard Lewis preach from the unique subject. "Let Us Go Fishing." He used that familiar scripture lesson found In the Gospel according to Kalnt Luke 6:1-1! as a basis for his message He said In part. "If a man Is to be a good fisherman he must have a passion for fishing, and if a Christian Is to be a successful soul winner be must have a passion for the task of soul winning.” One of the tragic things of modern day evangelism is the professional minister or evangelist who I* In the minlstery for only what he can get out of it. Another qualification of a good fisherman Is patience, and this Is also vitally true of a successful soul winner. Discouragement will mean defeat in the task of sou! winning. Mother don’t you give up for that wayward boy or girl. Remember, "God works iu » mysterious way His wondets to per-

form." If we are to be successful soul winners we must keep out of sight Christ must be always first. Beal winning is a tremendous responsibility. The question I leave with you is. "Are we doing our beat?” Special music each night i>y Mrs. Ixtwis. Last evening the pastor and Mrs. Lewis brought a beautiful message in song entitled. “Precious Hiding Place." Tonight Rev. Lewis will preach from the subject. "Peter’s last Mesaage to the Church." Services begin each night at 748 A united fight against sin will mean a better world. We urge every Christian to unite in this battle against sin and the devil. If you cannot come pray for us. COURTHOUSE Fred D.
