The new tax meaaure will be discussed In congress next week but it's probable that the schedule is pretty well determined now as the committee has been working on it overtime. The speeches will be largely advertising tor the politicians. I . , —o * o — It may be wise to extend a word of warning to keep the bouse locked when away.

This nation may build the pro posed Great Lakes water way some day but right now the members of the senate and congress seem to be engrossed in other and more pressing matters and don't exactly believe It necessary as a defense measure. A recent survey failed to produce a single congressional booster. Judge Stapp of lledford was studying what be ought to do with several slot machines seixed and brought to court. He discovered , they contained considerable aluminum and that solved th* problem. He turned them over to the committee with orders to destroy them and recover the metal needed by Inch- Sam. Help fight marijuana. It's a dangerous weed. The recent legislature for some reason, did not provide any funds for this necoasary battle * but the Federation of Clubs has taken it ii|i and will make the < lose st organization ever to meet the danger In this good old Hoosier slate. They want your assistance In doing away with a narcotic as dangerous as ever came out of the tropics. w-a "You can't learn to be a good soldier in one year," was the remark made by one of the boys home from training camp on a furlough. He added that he found the work interesting anil not too tough and that his only objection was that he felt as if the time were wasted because he is anxious to get back to private life and a personal career. He feels it will take another year at least to have a first class army of defense. o—w— — COME TO THE FAIR: The annual free street fair and agricultural show will often here Monday evening and continue through the week. Today's Issue of the Daily Democrat is devoted to toiling you all about It and Includes an invitation from almost every business concern in the community. There are many advantages to be gained by these /airs, whether you i personally like or dislike them. In the first place every community must entertain the people of the trading area. If they don't the folks go to some other town or city where the leaders are awake and alive. Then too, thia gives an opportunity for farmers to show their livestock and the 4-H clubs to display their activities. It’s a great thing to create this friendly rivalry. Besides these facts, It’s the greateat opportunity of the year to meet the people from all over the county and many from elsewhere who make it their annual home coming. Join the crowd, walk the midway, watch the free attractions, visit the exhibits, take your full part in the event and we are sure you will enjoy it. The committees have worked bard, for this has been one of the most difficult years since the fairs started, because there are so many ( activities and every one Is so busy. , It's good to take a holiday and many will do so next week. Read the advertisements in to ( day's paper, study them carefully , and remember they are the messages from your good business Blends. Visit these stores next wook and If you don't want to buy, ( got a line on what you will want and have it laid away. Come to the fair and enjoy your- ’ self That's what it's for. , .. ...o ~i- ... • Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
