Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. No community can prosper which is continually and upon every occasion pulling against each other. Try helping the other fellow a little with a boost instead of a knock. There is nothing to be gained by trying to get even with somebody. The way to do it is to help him and thus help yourself. Smile a while, and see if it don’t beat being a grouch. Thanksgiving Day, and don't forget that you owe a part of the day to the real purpose, that of offering thanks because of the many blessings you i have received, because you live in a land of peace and plenty, because of a i thousand things you can think of if < you will. A kind act toward some per- i son less fortunate than yourself will 1 make you feel better. i 1 ■ —1 Not with any idea of causing you to i increase your price on your property, ] nor to unduly excite you, but simply i as a matter of news, we don’t mind in- t forming you that the Clover Leaf is < again seriously considering the remov- i al of the division to this city, in fact < ft is stated that the plans to do this 1 <Srly in the spring are right now be- i ing made. It would help some, and i we hope it is true. "... Come on. Buy a few Red Cross ; seals. Even if you spend but a few , pennies for this splendid cause you help some. Every man, woman and . child in this community ought to buy some stamps. They only cost a penny a piece and any one can spare some money for such a splendid purpose. Quit your knocking. Don’t be a stingy cuss. Buy a few stamps and you may be thankful for it a thousand times over. Next year will be the greatest this nation has ever known. Mr. Schwabb has just returned from Europe with two hundred million dollars' worth of orders and is distributing the contracts over the country’. More orders are coming and the big plants will run full force, day and night. There will be

> no reason for an army of the unem- • ployed except pure laziness. Every 1 community should profit by this boom . in business. Let’s get in the game. ! Boost your factories and let’s get a tew more. A factory now located In an eastern city wants to come west and will move i in the spring. They are inquiring about ' Decatur and would llketo come here because one of their best customers is a plant here. If the city council does not allow the committee which pledged certain things as an inducement to get other concerns here to keep their word it will be hard to get a committee to devote their time and money to landing another factory—and this one will employ 150 men from the start. Another thing, if the adjacent territory is taken in, there is no way to laud factories, because they will not pay the tax rate. Let’s all work together to make the community more prosperous—let’s don’t knock the factories. Boost them. Help them to prosper and when they do you are suie to get your benefit. We don’t believe the sugar factory ought to be taken into the corporation because they were promised by thirty business men. speaking for the community, that thev would not be and because you kept still at that time and agreed with that committee which was only trying to serve you. We do not think the other property ought to be taken in at th>s time. The factories need your support. When they get a little stronger and when their tax rate in Decatur has been reduced, as it will be, then it is time to discuss the matter. We also believe and want to state in this connection that the men of this community, business men and every one else, ought to"right now show that they want the people who invest their money here to succeed by assisting the sugar company to get contracts for beets next year. They are a part of this community and have a large amount of money invested here. Let’s show them we are proud of having the only factory of its kind in the state and help them and fight for them when we can. If we "have this spirit and do the things we know we ought to we will all be better off. The W. C. T. U. at Berne has taken up the work of selling Red Cross seals and two thousand stamps were sent them this afternoon. Superintendent Huff of the schools of that town is also taking an interest in the work and that town will no doubt do their share for this work. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bell left today for Detroit, Mich., to be Thanksgiving guests of Mrs. F. L. DeVilbiss and the E. B. Newton family. They may return byway of Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio, and at the latter place wiil visit with the Harry Bell family.

Thanksgiving day is a time of family reunion. Everybody “goes back home” if he can in reality—and if he ean’t he does in spirit. When Paul Kester wrote the following for McClure's, he certainly had that back-home feeling: Home. I want to go home To the dull old town With the shaded streets And the open square And the hill And the flats And the house I love And the paths I know — I want to go home. If I can’t go back To the happy days, Yet I can live Where their shadows lie Under the trees And over the grass— I want to be there Where the joy was once, Oh, I want to go heme, I want to go home. The Zion Lutheran Ladies’ Aid societw will have another all-day session at the school house Friday. Mrs. L. Bultemeier will serve the luncheon at the noon hour. Mrs. H.

Each member invited a guest and the company, numbering fortyfive, was entertained yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. D. Lewton. The club color, orange, predominated in the decorations, in the fluted streamers and the chandelier hoods, and the club flower, the rose, formed the pretty floral decorations. The affair was a sewing party and later came “sewing intricacies” guessing contest, in which the names of articles found in a sewing room were formed from jumbled letters. Prizes were won by Mesdames W. P. Schrock, J. T. Merryman and D. I). Heller. Vocal solos by Mrs. Bracken, Mrs. Eugene Runyon and a piano solo by Mrs. Otto Haubold made a pleasing program. The two-course luncheon carried out the club orange color in the ice. the cake and salad and other Items of the menu and was very tempting.
