Every one loves a booster, but every one is not always ready to boost for his booster. ... booster is supposed to boost because he likes to do it—and in a great measure that ia so.

WILL BOOST HOME PAPERS Week of November 7-12 Set foe Na-tion-Wide Endeavor. "Subscribe to your home town paper.” This Is the slogan of a new nationwide movement backed by the National Editorial Association and other agencies. The movement has back of It far more than a selfish desire on the part of newspapers to acquire Increased circulation, for It Is, In effect, a step toward the perfect unification of America by tbe strengthening of ties that bind everyone to hip native soil. The campaign Is, moreover, an excellent opportunity to boost the home town. The men and women who were born and reared here have, some of them, been away for many years and mhny Important changes have taken place—changes In which they would be greatly Interested. It Is more often the case than not that private correspondence overlooks these changes, however carefully one might attempt to write “the news" In a letter. The newspaper, on the other hand, prints all the Items of interest, large and small, and is the ideal medium ■ through which to keep in touch with : in the old home town. Nation-Wide Movement Set for November 7th to 12th. Every Four Corners has its Home Town week nowadays, but all the boys and girls who have wandered from the Township Center cannot get back to enjoy the loved surroundings. But all can subscribe to the old home town paper and thus keep well In touch , with the little spot they once called home. What joy to run over the school promotions and find that the tots of a few years ago are moving higher and higher In scholastic circles and eventually blossom forth as the “sweet girl graduates," or the clean strong boys discarding knickers. Just watch that hardened old city codger open up his home paper—lt Is the first thing he picks up out of his bunch of mall—and what can he find there to Interest him? Angus McGugan’s horse died yesterday; Peter McGregor will . run for the county clerkship; Horace Jell hopes to win tbe secretaryship of the Hilltown Agricultural Society* Lydia Munger has opened a millinery store; Mrs. Brown lost her hand satchel In the butchery; Dr. Dorland Is attending Clara Broun, who Is down with a severe cold; Mrs. Plater broke her ankle and is in the county hospital. Yet though he smiles at the old-time styles and expressions he enjoys it all over and over again, for it takes bls mind back heme where bls wonderful boyhood days—bappy days—were spent

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. The women of Noble county have demonstrated what organization means to a county in a financial and social way. Each township , has a home economics organization which If an auxiliary of the farm bureau. Last spring, a dress form demonstration was held in each township, and the women were trained to make dressforms. These women in turn taught ethers and as a result, more than 500 dress forms have been made. The average cost of the material for these forms was ninety cents or a total of $450. The minimum cost of a commercial form is $9.00, or total cost for 500 forms, $4500, or a saving of $l,OlO to the women of the county, says Miss Leila Gaddis of the some economics extension staff of Purdue university. Every woman in the township wps invited to these demonstrations which served as a means of getting acquainted with new women in the neighborhood, or with women who had not been interested before. All day ' meetings were held and delightful ca feteria luncheons instead of the “bug ■ bear" picnic dinner was served, —an other feature worth while. Following the dress form demonstra tions, a series of demonstrations oi short cuts in sewing were given and the women learned to place the patterns on materials to best advantage A house dress demonstrating different finishes, trimmings, etc., was used. As follow up from this demonstration, the number of garments made, anti the estimated saving will be reported by each organization. , Now the women of Noble county are interested in making their own hats, and through the county agent have sent in a request for a series of two day schools, at which time the women will bring their frames, materials, make their hats, work over old materials and retrim hats. Not only will the individual be benefited by this work, the community has a common interest, other projects will be developed as a result of these, there will be greater contentment because they are learning to help themselves.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1921.

"THE CHARMING DECEIVER" Alice Calhoun, one of the most popular of the younger stars, rises to new heights In “The Charming Deceiver." This capable actress has tin emotional role which calls for real artistry. The story Is one of those pleasing narratives, suitable for the whole family, that deals with a page of life as it exists In the small New England villages. Wealthy grandparents, disowned children and the happy reunion after a dark secret been cleared furnishes materia! for an intense love story that holds the attention from the first flash to the final closeout. Attractive scenic backgrounds, odd bits of human Interest and quaint fragments of humor have been introduced into the action to give the production color. It is a film thta will get beneath the surface artfl remain with the spectator as a sample ot better picture plays. Simplicity, clever acting and an iifteresting story are all that “The has of which to boast, yet these are enough to make any picture go over big. <IBO next episode of the "Purple Riders.” Remember, it’s at the Crystal. — ■ > DEATHS FROM AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS IN 1920 Washington, D. C., Nov. 5. —The department of Commerce, through the bureau of census, announces that during the year 1920, 9,103 deaths from accidents caused by automobiles and other motor vehicles, excluding motorcycles, were recorded within the death-registration area of the United States, which area contains 82 per cent, of the total population. This number represents a death rate of 10.4 per 100,000 population, as against 9.4 in 1919, 9.1 in 1918, 8.9 in 1917, 7.3 in 1916, and 5.8 in 1915. Between 1915 and 1920, therefore, the death rate per 100,000 population from mo-tor-vehicle accidents and injuries increased by about four-fifths. The actual number of death resulting from motor-vehicle accidents in the 25 slates from which data for 1915 are available increased from 3,571 in that year to 7,433 in 1920, the rate of increase being 108 1 per cent. ; During the same period, according to data obtained from the bureau of public roads, of the department of agri--1 culture, the number of registrations of automobiles, motor trucks, and commercial motor vehicles in the • same states increased from 1,767,056 1 to 6,085,150, the rate ot increase be- • ing 244,4 per cent. The death -rate > per 1,000 motor vehicles in use in the : 25 states in question decreased from 2 in 1915 to 1.2 in 1920, being only three-fifths as great in the later as ■ ! n the earlier year.
