Entered at the postoSce la Decatur. Indiana, as second class matter. The last of the congressional optimists who have been talking of an ad- ( journmunt of the extra session ever; since last June have subsided, and| congress hat settled down to a > cutin uotu session, lasting from last April, Until some indefinite date next sum- > (ner. Nest Monday at noon the extra, session will merge into the regular, session and there is every prospect I that it will find the currency bill Tittle | further advanced that it is today. But j in spite of all the delay—some of it ■ unavoidable and some o( it looking suspiciously as if it were intentional—the enactment of some kind of curt rency bill this winter looks more certain as the days pas.-. There is no doubt that some very powerful interests would prevent such legislation If possible, but the growth of public sentiment in favor of monetary reform has been so rapid and is becoming so forceful that it would appear that the most reactionary of th members will be unable to withstand It—lndianapolis News. The appointments announced by Mayor Christen of the men who will serve the city as marshal, street commissioner. health gCcer, city engineer and fine chief will meet the approval of the good citizens of Decatur, who will recognize the fact that the men were chosen because of their ability and their integrity. You owe your city, your-elf. your neighbor and t’ • administration your support. Only by workmg can* we rucouplish things and we know that Mayor Charles Christen and his assist-1 acts will do everything they can to place Decatur in the front ranks and to make it the best city in the slate tn which to live. The high school commission is to be refnstatid We were sure it would b* so. In tart we have felt all the time that our schools were above ths average and since we have heard In-1 Spector Neal s report, we are sure cf it. Our schools are ns good as any iu \ the state. Everybody should say so j Lets pull tegetlier and well make* the grade easier. TWwwrat Want Ads Pav

"I consider Miss Berry one of the j best teachers in the state in that line, • and Decatur is most fortunate in havH ing her,” said Mr. Neat “The manual training department is well equipped ’ j and everything is in first-class coudi- ’ tion. I am sure the people of Decatur J may rest assured that the commission will be restored and that the new school house is needed and must be built as soon as possible.” Mr. Neal left here at noon for Fort ! Wayne. He said that his duties are ! very pressing at this time, as he has ' had to visit over 50V schools in the ! state and in forty of them the commis- ‘ sion has been suspended awaiting imI proved conditions. He is a very pleas- ; ant gentleman who knows his tnuine»« and his report will be complete • and we are sure most satisfactory. p- - CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 29 Tuesday Evening. November 25.

:| List Your Real Estate I M 1

Listing your property for sale with one good, live, reliable agency to sell I is the better way of finding a buyer I for you. as they hare frequent call* I and inquiries which an individual does not get—and who would think of leaving his case with all the doctor? or t all Ute attorneys instead of taking one t at a time, who would give hi« case special attention and, no doubt, his > best efforts, even though he tail. But many owners of real estate want to . list with all agencies and in many instances none of the agencies give ids case their best attention. . It is also a prevailing practice to ! ask the agent to sell the property for fore titan the actual value or asking I i price by Ute owner, which of course ‘he cannot do. Properly ought to be luted at its actual value and the -1 agent, if hotted, he ought tn get for f | the owner the best price and terms i possible in justice to the purchaser ; tad the seller.
