DON'T SPOIL YOUR CHRISTMAS: — We recently told our readers how they could add to their t Christmas happiness by doing their shopping early, before the stores are crowded and the clerks are dead on their feet. Now we want to take a moment to tell you still another way to make the occasion a joyous one, both for yourself, for those to whom you give, and for your neighbors. And that is the simple proposition of buying the gifts you expect to buy right here at home. You’ll doubtless see many tempting offers in big city papers — and sometimes you’ll form the false impression that you can’t get just what you want, and that it won't be as nice as you want, if bought here at home. Tear any ad that attracts you out of the paper and take it to a home merchant and he'll quickly convince you of your error. It may not be right there in stock, but nothing will please your home merchant more than to order that particular gift for you, and at a price in keeping with the one you see advertised.

There is mighty little loyalty in buying away from home the things you are going to give home people for Christmas. And neither is there economy in it. You have to pay express or postage if you order by mail, and when they tell you that you can "save” enough buying somewhere else to pay your railroad fare they're merely imposing on your ignorance. Take all this into consideration before you make a purchase out of town. But, above all, ask yourself if you are loyal to your home town if you make your living here and then spend the money with strangers. Think these things over—and then don’t make the mistake of spoiling your Christmas by trading any place but right here at home. The Bluffton Banner has it figured that Jerry Cronin of Blackford will be the democratic candidate for joint senator in Blackford, Wells and Adarns, and Thurman Gottschalk the nominee for joint representative in the Wells-Adams district and is grumbling about it. Perhaps this may be true for the men mentioned will probably be candidates, but a primary in two or three counties is scarcely a handpicked affair five months ahead of the primary. If Wells county has aspirants for the jobs, bring ’em out and let the people decide. If you haven't, quit grumbling. In the last lower house there were nine democrats and of these Mr. Gottschalk was one of the leaders. He would be a big man in tlje next house if returned but even that fact does not give him any rights of inheritance. Trot out your candidates, Wells, and lets look them over.

And while there is a lot of talk about the open doors in the Washington parley why not have a little of it right at home. It is reported that the real work of the conference is being done behind closed doors and one high class writer for a New York newspaper, declares that a promise has been made to give France and England half the war debt or more than five billion dollars if the armament matters are settled but that this is to be done at a second conference. The people have a right to know what is going on and when they don’t you can be sure some funny work is being pulled.

f The congress which recently adjourned, realizing that they couldn't make things much worse, ). gave the public treasury a final last r dig by voting themselves twenty cents >- a mile to go home and back. This f totals a huge sum and the people pay the bill. The unfair part of it is that most of the distinguished office holds era remained in the east and failed to 8 go home to see what the people wantB ed. The folks back home are greatly s j dissatisfied with the record of the past 5 eight months congress and those who 9 represent us ought to have the sense 9 to hear and feel and see it. 1 The revival services now in progress in the various churches of this 1 city is a splendid move and we like the old fashioned idea of preparing the • minds of the people for Christmas ' day, an occasion which should not be one only for the giving and receiving of gifts but a day also when we give at least some thought to the great anniversary celebrated. Those who attend the services at their church the next two or three weeks will hear the story of Christ told again and will be better men and women for the time thus devoted. Will It. Wood, congressman from the tenth district of Indiana and ' whose home is at Lafayette, is the 3 latest talked of candidate for United States senator against Harry New. Wood is a smooth campaigner and if he gets in the game, will tear things up some, many believe even more than Mr. Beveridge. Governor McCray has undoubtedly tried his best to avoid a special session of the legislature to correct a mistake made by the last regular session, but has come to the conclusion i that it ,will just have to be done and the orders will be issued this week, it is expected.

This will mean a great saving to the company, as well as a big convenience. It is the expectation to begin work as early in the spring as possible, and the building will be rushed to completion with all possible speed. OVERLAND NOT AFFECTED. Receivership Proceedings Confined to Willys Corporation, Not to Overland Press reports carried an item yesterday relative to the receivership proceedings concerning the Willys Corporation of Elizabeth, N. J. Mr. Willys, president of the Willy-Over-land company has sent out a letter to the effect the receivership proceedings do not in any way affect the Overland company, that the Willys Corporation is entirely separate from the WillyOverland company. The Holthouse Garage of this city, local distributors for the Willy-Knight and Overland ears were notified to this effect this morning. The Overland company is now rushed with orders on their new models. ■.'.'..i. | n the Phllowenitt .1.-sr,-.- Tues day evening. Please be present. 281 2t

DEATH FOLLOWS AUTO ACCIDENT (Continued from page one) motioned toward the house, telling me who lived there and all at once the car shot over the bank. I was only by the foot and pulled myself free. Dr. Stoneburner was under the car and could only breathe as 1 put my shoulder under one corner and lifted it and then would have to let it down on him waiting for help to come. I don’t think he could possibly have lived five minutes longer under the car. Doctor Stoneburner is quite badly hurt but we hope not seriously.” The deceased was about seventysix years old. Postmaster J. W. Bosse reports the following uncalled for letters at the Decatur postoffice: Mr. Percy Enyart. Mr. Wm. H. Gehrig, Mrs. Chas. M. Murphy, C. M. Murphy, Arnold Gehle, Fritz Dieghty. Ben Schnapp, Miss Ellen Parmprt, Blanch Radgy. Wilbur'Porter went to Elwood yesterday where be spent the day with his brother, Alleti B. Porter.

Twenty-five minutes to one minute was the reduction Day’s battery, “F" of the 140th Field artillery, made In the time experts required to train flinch rifles on a target. A German train, sighted on the St. Mlhiel front, was hit by Day's guns on the third round and completely demolished on the eleventh. With shells of all calibers dropping on his battery every half-minute for more than two hours, the battery came through without a man wounded and with three guns In action. Mr. Day gays that he finds the addition of a column of figures almost as exciting at times as the bombardment of an enemy fleeting target THE SOLDIER AND STATESMAN Texan le Newly Appointed Director of the Legion’s National Americanization Commission. “He can tell you about an ordinary baseball game In such words and

expression that you will be griefstricken,” is what they say of Alvin M. Owsley, Texas, newly appointed director of the American Legion's national Ame rl- - com m 1 ssion. Mr. Owsley, who left oft being assistant attorney general of the largest state in the Union to Join

the Legion organization, has become a “soldier and a statesman” of national prominence at the age of thirty years. In the West, the Texan has long been known as * speaker of unusual ability. When he went East and bad as his field Americanism, Its origin and Its purpose, Mr. Owsley began delivering addresses of such eloquence and inspirational context that he became in constant demand and his repute as a master of diction naturally followed. Overseas Mr. Owsley commanded a battalion of 86th Division infantry until his promotion to division adjutant. As head of the Legion's legislative committee in Texas, he obtained a J2,000,000 hospital for service men at Kerrville, Tex BEAUTY AS “MISS LIBERTY” Seattle Legion Selects Charming Miss to Serve in Recent Patriotic Exerciser

Miss Worthington is a home girl and was not a little embarrassed at the honors the Legion showered upon her as queen of the festival. She was unmarried at the last report, although her mail has greatly increased tn volume with those who would alter her singular course. ' Posts in Foreign Countries.

W. C. Jessup, President and General Manager of the E. H. Hotchkiss Company, Norwalk, Conn., is a staunch admirer of Buick. He tells why: “My Model 29 Buick, purchased in 1911, has now run 150,000 miles. “Winter and summer, it has traveled over every kind and condition of road. It has gone through miles of mud at a stretch. It has traveled for hours over Florida sands. It has plowed through snow drifts.
