The Allied forces are drawing near to the German borders and no one expects them to hesitate there very long. O—O The farm crops in Adams comity may be below the average but ft will be better than in many spots JDer th«- world and with cooperation every one will get along without great Inconvenience. —o Hunters are permitted to buy only three boxes of shells for their shot guns. That will prevent wasting a shot and we presume they will wait until they can see the whites of the rabbit's eyes. O—O If there was any doubt aa to the Allies occupying Paris it was dissipated when the great news associations opened their bureaus and began sending news of interest from the very center of the French capital. O—O Interest in an airport should not be permitted to lag Every county will need one and the better It Is, the more business it will do. In the next decade there will be much progress along that line of transportation and the sooner we get at It, the greater progress will be made. O—O Don't i>ass up buying your quota of bonds for August. Keep 'em flying. The Pacific war will probably continue another year and the most foolish thing we can do is to let. up in our efforts. If we do. It may require years to complete the good work so well started by Admiral Nimitz and General Mat Arthur O—O Democratic headquarters in Dr catur will be opened the evening of Friday. September Btb. All members of the county central committee and all other workers and interested men and women are invited to attend. A state candidate Is expected to lie present and the event will make the opening of the fall campaign. O—O The soft ball league has closed) another successful season at Worthman Field, providing many evenings Os pleasure for the players and the fans. Capacity crowds attended the final game* and attendance during the entire reason •aa the beat since the park opened. Plans for next year’s league are already underway.

The polls, straw votes and snt veys may be interesting and pet haps encourage some whose spirit, are low but about the only thlni we tan figure from these reports I the fact that the campaign is stil it to be made and the election held What the results will be will de pend much on the will of the people r and the efforts they make. It O—O Mote than a million homes Ir *4 England have been destroyed ot ® so badly damaged they will have [g have to be completely rebuilt, ac d cording to word from there on the r results of the rocket assaults of the e past sixty days. During the past fortnight an average of 17.000 ® homes have been destroyed <a<h e twenty-four hours. lamdon must 1 be a sorry looking metropolis by r now. -0 The names of Pvt Richard Tope and Sgt Richard Tropic. former Decatur lads, have been added to 1 the Gold Star list o: In-roes The J former in-t his death in France August 12th and the late: in Normandy August 9th They wen* well known and had many friends and relatives here who are shocked by the sad news We extend sympathies to the dear ones on whom th-- shock falls heavily. -0 Tin- claim is now made that one out oi every eighty farmers in the state of Kansas hopes to soon own an airplane Yon may discount that and laugh it off but we u-ui- m tier when the average fellow smiled and shook his head when It was predicted that many farint-i would one day own automobiles If the plane helps the farmer to get his prodm ts to market quicker, millions of them will own planes and you cun laugh that off if you want to. -0 The president lias conferred with Mr. Wlllkle Well, what's wrong with that* The former (1 O. P. candidate and leader made an extensive trip a year ago. He has idea* of the postwar period and of how we should operate our foreign affairs The president wants his opinions as well as those ot all others who are sincerely interested Th- best way to get that is to confer with him. He would ho doubt be happy to discuss the Important problems of state with others who could be of help lo him if they would. -0 Experts now predict the end of the war hi Europe by October Ist. That may happen and we all hope It does but it's far from being a sure thing. In Germany they are urging the people to continue their support for another six weeks, at the end of which tinv- they say they will have ready for action a

And thus, be- j fore our present boys become old I men. will Indianapolis be supplied with water, and later our other cities, if they grow to any size, will likewise be so supplied." The Indianapolis Water Company's Oaklandon reservoir is evidence of Dr. Hurty's farsightedness. The reservoir, with a storage capacity of 7,000,000,040 gallons and an area of I Sou acres.

Miami Police Head Under Serious Fire Unethical Behavior Charged On Officer Deadwood. 8 !»., Ang 20 — tl'l’t ('apt James O. Barker. Miami. Fla. police officer, was tinder Are In this colorful old frontier town today, charged by two members of the International asaocl atlon fnr identification with faking a fingerprint In the murder trial of Count Alfred De Marlgny at Nassau. Bahamas, last year. Barker, head of the police Iden tlficatlon bureau at Miami was here to defend himself ax the hearings opened before the board of directors of the association Barker was the crown’s principal witness In the trial of De Marigny, accused of murdering his wealthy father-in-law. Sir Harry Oakes. at Nassau, July 8, 1963. Barker lx accused of unethical behavior in his representation of the crown during the trial by ta*onarde E. Keeler. Chicago criminologist, and Capt Maurice O'Neil, chief of Identification for the New Orleans police, the principal defense witnesses at the trial. The charges center about the little fingerprint of De Marigny which Barker swore he found on the screen that stood beside Sir Harry's bed There seemed little doubt that the fingerprint belonged to the 32-year-old French count, but Barker's accusers Insist that it couldn't have been taken from the screen because the print has a different background. Keeler and O'Neil, who were the principal defense witnesses at the De Marlgny trial, brought photos with them of all the principal scenes of the murder, and it was expected that the entire trial would be re-enacted at the hearings against Barker. The results of the hearings artexpected to be ot grave import to future identification of suspects by police and the admission of fingerprints ax evidence at trials. Barker faces censure of expulsion from the association If It Is found that he acted in an unethical manner in presenting the De Marlgny fingerprint at the trial. Schug lot 60t In Berne for 11.

Rep. Emanuel Oller, D., N. Y„ ' said another bill, molded after the Murray-Kilgore bill rejected by the r senate, would be offered as a sub • stitute. Endorsed by organised ' labor, the substitute would lift the I maximum unemployment benefits r to 25 weekly in all states and would ' raise the ceiling on veterans' benefits to 35.
