We are getting so used to these sessions that a season without one would be dull indeed. And after all the fuss made by the republican politicians and the teriffic attacks against article ten of the league of nations we have a very similar one in article two of the disarmament agreement It depends largely evidently on "whose bull is gored." President Harding is now organizing his administration for a war against those who oppose him in congress. More efforts to secure the legislation that will improve conditions in this country would be the best politics that he could play.

The latest criminal thriller is the escape of condemned murderers. A few days ago Tom Slaughter made a daring escape from the death cell in an Arkansas penetentiary. Yesterday | Tommy O'Connor, sentenced to die next Thursday succeeded in getting ' away from the Chicago Jail, after a I brilliant day light battle against a . half dozen guards. He took two prisi oners with him. stole two cars and did a lot of other things which would I make Arbuckle look like a counter- ! felt on the screen. * ■ 1 11 'T""""" - Most people in Adams county’ are average Americans. That being the case, the income for each during 1913, according to figures just given out by Uncle Sam, was $354 for each member of the family. This rose to an average of $629 in 1919. But it was only $358 in actual buying power on the basis of 1913 prices. Many thought they were getting rich during the war. Big salaries were common, but in a majority of cases they i were spent as fast as the money was , received. Our riches during the war ' preiod were, to a great extent, very I largely on paper. Those so fortunate 1 as to "salt away’’ a part of their inI come then are profiting now that prices are seeking the normal level. And. thinking it over, and reflecting on past experiences, wouldn't it be a pretty wise resolve to decide now to save more in 1922 than you did in the year fast drawing to a close? We were looking over a history of this country a few evenings ago, one of the kind taught in the schools and we were struck with the fact that almost everything in it touched on war. It started with the discovery of America, and quickly led into the revolutionary war; then into the civil war; the Mexican war; the SpanishAmerican war —and the new ones I will have a few chapters added to detail the World War. And we wondered if it wouldn't be a good idea for

A Gift of Permanent Value I At that season of giving, consider how you can make wise provisiop for the future of those you love. You can assure your family of protection of the material things you leave them through a carefully planned Trust, that can be established now, or created in your will. Such a gift of foresight and thoughtfulness will be one of permanent value. Remember please, that we are in position to advise you on matters of this nature.

someone to write a new history that < the boys and girls of the future might learn something about the things we are proud of that do not depend on war for their interest Discoveries, and great celebrations, and events of world wide interest that are not connected in any way with bloodshed, such as the operation of the first railway, the flying of the first air plane, and the like, are numerous enough to make a good-sized book. Why wouldn't they make a more readable history than one which deals almost entirely with destruction? Despite the fact that Christmas is hundreds of years old. the tendency to give foolish gifts still prevails to a large extent. In recent years there has been a leaning toward gifts of ; articles of wearing apparel, and we, are glad to see it. For anyone appre-. ciates something that is serviceable more than something that delights the eye for a few hours and is then forgotten. But in the matter of gifts, and especially for those who once resided in this county but who now live elsewhere yet constantly think of , the “old home,” nothing can approach | a year’s subscription to the home town paper. Each day, for the whole year, it comes as a Christmas giftnew and different every day. And each time the wrapper is torn off the one receiving it thinks of the pne so thoughtful as to send it—and this more than pays for the gift. Think over the things you could send as Christmas gifts to those who live elsewhere but who are acquainted here. And if you can think of a single thing that will give as much real, downright enjoyment, and that will last for a whole year, as a year's subscription to the home-town paper, come in and tell us what it is. -1 L-L.-L' —SIt is amazing how much space in the big city papers a sporty and handsome woman who treads under foot ’ the conventions of respectable society can command once her sinning results in a divorce suit or a murder. I Not only all the details of court proceedings, but her life from girlhood, are displayed in type and pictures, along with anything she may say or write, in the most conspicuous position. At the same time the wise words of a college professor, the story of a noble charity, the details of a great medical discovery, go to the remote columns in solid tpye. Educational and religious news, the thoughs of honorable religious leaders, yield to the sensational and the' debasing in the news columns. It is • depressing to glance over many pages of big city papers and see whole columns given to writeups of men who make prize fighting or crime of some sort or another their business. We cannot believe, either, that it is good for the public at a time when useful men must be at work, when saving is essential to the country, and when men, women and children need constant inspiration in the vital things of American life-—patriotism, morality, honesty and reverence for all that is good and clean.

I Edward Detmore. living at 257 North Sixth street, with his mother, was the victim of a shooting affray at Fort Wayne a few weeks ago. in which 5 a bullet entered his head in the vicinity of the right ear. Mr. Detmore stated to people with whom he talked that he had been in the hospital at Fort Wayne four weeks, but would not give out any of the details. A De catur physician is treating the injury, and states that he does not know at this time whether or not he will be able to extricate the piece of lead. BOX OF SWEETMEATS. The members of the Young Woman's Auxiliary of the Methodist church today expressed to Miss Faye Stults at Mathison, Miss., a package containing thirteen pounds of home-made candy. 1 Miss Stults, who is a member of the local auxiliary, is teaching in a girls’ 1 school at Mathison, which is under the 1 direction of the educational board of 1 the Methodist church and she is thus remembered by her co-workers in this city. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Stults of this city. ,

YAP TREATY SIGNED Washington. Dec. 12.—(Special to Daily Democrat). —The Yap treaty was signed today. The treaty adjusts the Yap controversy between the United States and Japan and covers all mandates including the Pacific. THE TOBACCO MARKET. In spite of the fact that chain stores in the larger cities are engaged in a ruthless price-cutting war in the retailing of popular-priced cigarettes, leading manufeaturers are not yet ready to predict a permanent revision of prices. As long as the leaf tobacco market continues to hold to the present top figures and revenue taxes continue at the present schedule, it is declared it will be impossible to reduce manufacturing costs to a point where lower prices can be announced. This opinion is based on the prevailing prices for leaf tobacco traded in ' since August, when the local warehouses of the famous Southern tobacco districts opened their doors for the 1921-'22 season. Curtailed tobacco acreage and an unfavorable season are said to be responsible for the present high market. As is well known, the processes of cigarette manufacture involve from two to three years of aging or seasoning, so that prevailing Factory Costs must be based on the purchase price of tobaccos bought in the high markets of 1918 ’2O. Latest quotations moreover, indicate a rising tendency in the 1921 market with averages that will come close to equalling the best prices of the preceding three years. For example, in the leading markets of Virginia and North Carolina, which include Danville, Wilson, WinstonSalem, Durham and other prominent trading centers, the average opening price on September 20th for leaf tobacco was close to $25 per.hundred pounds. With the exception of a slight slump during the first week, average prices have steadily climbed to levels ranging between $35 and SSO. Many "piles” of fine grade tobacco have been sold for 80 to 90 cents a pound, while a number of farmers have average 70 cents for their entire crops of tobacco. Keen competition is reported in the bidding for the better grades. Prevailing averages tor 1921 bid fair to equal those for September of 1919, when prices were thought to be unusually high notwithstanding the' better quality of the 1919 crop. Some • idea of the trend can be gained by the fact that in December of that year,' a top average figure of 53 cents per . pound was reached in North Carolina. This compares with a low av- ■ erage of 10.6 cents in 1910 according to crop reports of the U. S. Depart- ( ment of Agriculture. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN— s—s—s RED PEPPER HEAT ENDS RHEUMATISM Red Pepper Rub takes the “ouch” I from sore, stiff, aching joints.
