The students are not allowed to go home for Thanksgiving, hence visitors are ' royally welcomed. Decatur should be planning for her 1 centennial celebration for next year. Nearly every county in Indiana will do something of this kind. Old Adams should have the best of all. It is als othe eightieth anniversary of Dp- ■ catur. Why not double up? E. H. Nidlinger, the well known ' farmer, will offer at public sale at ' his residence three and a half miles east of this city on Wednesday, December 1, a bunch of fcood stock. ' including horses, cattle, Mogs and sheep. He will retire, having rented , his farm to his son. Several farmers have requested the business men that they use their influ once to have the waterworks whistle blow a signal which will tell them the weather conditions for the day Such a plan is used in many towns and . cities and the farmers say it is a great . help to them. The waterworks wfcis- | Te can be heard a distance of eight • miles. Charles S. Peterson, son of Attorney and Mrs. Shafer Peterson, who is now . in the new mining town, Oatman. . Ariz., has sent us a copy of the Oat [ man Mining Record, Vo. 1, No. 1, pub 1 lished there and which notes Mr. Pe . terson’s arrival as representative of the Denver Mining Investor. Oatman ■ is only thirty days old, but has a pop illation of more than 3,000 and is coming rapidly. It is ciamed the field will exceed the famous Cripple Creek territory. Among the dressed up dime and nickel novels that are sold to gullible parents for fifty cents are many stories that deal with the Boy Scouts. In the December issue of the Woman's Home Companion Walter Prichard Eaton says: “Needless to say no true Scout Master would buy them for his troop. In them Boy Scouts fly over the Rocky mountains in aeroplanes as easily as a real scout rides his bicycle to school;" they capture robber bands in Mexico; they range from the Arctic ice to the jungles of the Amazon without the slightest trouble.” The curious fact has been demonstarted that high altitudes apparently have a marked effect on the power obtainable from the gas engine. Recently one was erected several thousand feet above the sea level, but. ' upon testing, failed to give the do- ' sired power. An investigation followed. and the loss in power was attributed to the height at which the engine was operating. The general conclusion was reached that a gas engine loses about one per cent o: its indicated horse power per 1,000 feet of elevattion. —From the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. In the December American Magazine Walter Pritchard Eaton tells of a girl vaudevillian who defends the - profession of the burlesque dancer as follows: “If most of the world danced instead of watching dancers, dancing would be normal, wouldn’t it? Normal things are for normal people. Somebody's got to be abnormal to keep life interesting. I guess if I like to dance to appear in public, to be a part of all that life behind the scenes- which is a pleasant change, from Southmead, I assure you!—l don't sec why you should worry about me. It isn’t like you to preach a normal .conventional life to somebody who can find more satisfaction and self-development in another sort.”
