Fishing th northern Indiana ul aenthem Michigan rtrers for Bum and jdte is a popular sport these 000 l crisp mornings. Some of the more faithful bluegill fishermen are still reporting good catches in Indiana lakes. — O'state released statistics show that in 1951 total salaries, wages bonwsee and commissions reported from Adams county to the gross income tax division were >19,481.224 compared with Wells county total of 118,802,741 for the same year. ——o or—A tew years ago we shuddered at a tax rate which approached the >2.50 mark. Now most dtisens are happy with the >5.08 and >5.12 rates established for next year in Decatur. Only when our citizens become alarmed at the cost of government, will our tax levies return to normal. At each step toward the final setting of the 1957 levy, not a single remonetrator appeared. Complacency is the proper word. ■ O' O”“— Church attendance in Decatur has shown a remarkable increase in the last several weeks. Every Church is joining in the upward swing. It is an excellent sign of a good community and it is a - great selling point to “prospectfve settlers here.” Everyone has a desire to raise a family in a community with strong Churches and certainly thia is one of the outstanding reasons that Decatur is the fine city It has grown to be. — ...» — The President’s health was crowded off the front pages Tues-' day as Don Larson, New York Yankee moundsman pitched his team to a 3-2 lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers by racking up a perfect game at Yankee Stadium Monday. It was a welcome change in news, turning from politics to sports. And now for the last month of the political campaign and fireworks will get lustier either way you look at the “good of the nation.** The Decatur boartj of works is negotiating this week with officials of the Indiana-Michigan

Is it proper for a divorcee, marrying a man who has never been previously married, to wear a bridal dress and veil? A. This is out of the question for any but a maiden bride. The divorcee may, however, prpoerly wear an all-white dress and hat, and she may have an attendant and a floral decoration of the chancel. Q. If it is necessary to remove a bone from the mouth while at the dinner table, should one use a fork, spoon or the napkin? A, None of these items is in good taste. Merely use the thumb and forefinger, and lay the particle on the plate. Q. Is *Tt necessary that a pallbearer at a funeral wear a black suit? A No; any dark business suit is appropriate. O o | Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE o o French Dressing ~To make French dressing, mix in a glass jar 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 4 tablespoons salad oil, teaspoon salt, and a dash of paprika. Shake until well emulsified. This may be mixed several days in advance, but it is necessary to shake it well each time before using. Black Ants To kill the black ant, sprinkle the powdered root of black flag around the backs of shelves and along the baseboards of the floors.

Democrats Leading In Alaska Election Democrats Lead In All Three Races JUNEAU, Alaska (UP) — Alaska’s “weathervane” election show--1 ed increasing signs ot good weather for the Democrats today as partial returns trickled in from all of the sprawling territory’s 271 precincts. I -> Alaskans balloted Tuesday for two token U. S. senators and one representative under an AlaskaTennessee plan which would send their choices to Washington lobby I for statehood. Democrats were leading in all three races. Their candidate for the territory’s non-voting delegate-to-Congress post had piled up a 2-1 i lead over his. Republican opponent, and Democrats were leading in 21 of 21 contests for House seats in the territorial legislature and in 6 of 9 territorial Senate races. Former Gov. Ernest Gruening, a Democrat, held a 5,806 to 5,510 lead over Republican John Bdtrovich of Fairbanks for one "Senate” seat. In the other “senatorial” contest, Democrat William Egan of Valdez had 6,337 votes to 4,775 for Robert Atwood, Anchorage newspaper publisher and GOP candidate. Democrat Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks led Charles Burdick, Juneau ; Republican, 6,423 to 4.670 for the unofficial seat in the House of Representatives. Democratic Incumbent E. L. Bartlett topped Republican Byron Gilliam of Anchorage, 7,908 to 3,976, in the congressional delegate battle. For almost four decades, the ' Alaska vote accurately forecast whether the states several weeks 1 later would elect a Republican or l a, Democrat to the presidency.

Release Farmers On Acreage Agreement Release Forms Will Be Available Later Word has been received by Leo N. Seltenright, county agent, that farmers who, through misunderstanding of the 1956 acreage reserve agreement did not comply with the provisions of the agreement, will be released from their agreements. Failures to comply with 1956 acreage reserve agree ments fall into two general groupings: (1) farms on whcch there was no acreage actually placed in the acreage reserve after the agreement was signed by the operator, and (2) farms on which only a part of the land designated in the agreement was actually placed in the acreage reserve. On farms where the designated acreage reserve land has been or will be harvested or grazed and no payment is due to the operator, the agreement will be terminated. On farms where part of the land designated as acreage reserve in the 1956 agreement hajjl been graz- , ed or harvested, the original agreement also will be terminated, but in this case the farm operator may sign a new agreement covering the land actually placed in the acreage reserve.
