Its time to do your Christmas shopping it you have any intentions of doing it early and from the report of local merchants last Saturday and today the ush has aieady begun. Decatur merchants are going io make some one happy on December 30th. They are ofering the greatest, bargains this year and the best stock of goods in their history and you should show approval by Inlying at, home. If you have been a member of one 1 of the Christmas clubs operated bv the Decatur banks you will wit.tin the next half month or so receive the. check which wWP make •your Christmas shopping easy. If you were not a member this year you should join the bunch for next year. You ought to save your money and we know ot no easier way t<s do it. Get ready for the club openings. Those Chicago people who lived ■ ':) forty cents a day and lived well proved that it could he done by showing a net gain of five pounds each oti their weight. Many people eat so much that the body is reduced because of the work it has to perform to digest the surplus food. Try easing less. Os course you don't have to start until after Thanksgiving if you have any chance for turkey. in G rmany a rule is being made effective that but one newspaper can. be operated in each of the cities, if] the increas' in the cost of the raw materials needed to print a newspaper in this country continues th next year in comparison . with the past such a rule will be unnecessa.v for there won t be even one operating unless they were fortunate enough to have bought material several years ahead. The Chicago Herald says editorially :- The National Grange, in session at Washington, protests against an embargo on foodstuffs. It points out that the prices of everything the farmer has to buy have increased as well as the price of his products. In so far as he has to exchange h.'s products for other commodities, he is not in a position so much better than that occupied before the rise. This protest lines up perhaps the most powerful influence in the country against the proposal It has been the theory of many who have been urging the plan that the foodstuffs were all in the hands of speculators -

anyway, pud that farmers would'nl be hurt by a temporary viultargo. They will now realize that the farmers don’t see It that way and object 1 to being singled out as the one great productive class to make a sacrifi-e to reduce the price of living to ’he entire country. Properly enough, the National Grange does not argue that an em bargo would not be permislble und »r any circumstances. If the food si’llation in this country reached an acute stage it would obviously be tli-Sf duty of the government to deal with it by any means iwssible. Hut we' are still far from the danger point. Although the high price of food, as well as the high price of everything else, presses peculiarly on the consumer. such drastic governmental action is not yet called for.
