The first and best way to help the community is to become a member of thd Decatur Industrial association which is working all the time to improve conditions. The Tiernans are sure there when j it comes to getting front page public- ■ ity and a good many are so sick and tired of reading about them that they 1 wish they could be locked up and forgotten. The latest sign that we are becoming citified is the erection of gates' at the Adams and Jefferson streets crossings of the Pennsylvania. These are the first gates in the county, but it is quite probable that they will be, numerous within a few years. We presums we still need the bee inspectors and the engineers commission and a few others which provide jobs for a squad of politicians, but there are a lot of people helping to pay the bills who never need the services. About every thing you try to buj now shows an increase, because of the tariff and just what good is it all? [ Why should the people pay an extra profit to a few manufacturers and pre-. vent a foreign market? The tariff bill was the worst ever jammed down the throats of Americans and the ship subsidy will be just a jump behind. And now comes gasoline taxes and a boost in license fees. Build a home next year. If we can have two hundred homes erected they will all be occupied and the census of the city will increase a thousand or more. That would be some boom.!

wouldn't it? Well we are right up t< it now and if you don't believe it take a stroll around and look foi empty residences or store buildings 5 ' "There ain’t no such animals" arounc T " here and if we want to grow we wil r. r. have to provide places for people tc r live and buildings in which to de , business. ’ The time is near for you to plan s; q i your Christmas. That means you ’ should start your shopping tours at 5 ! once and get as much of it out of the 11 i way as possible. You avoid the trouI bles of a last day rush and you get ■ a choice of articles. Also remember that there are a few poor people around here —not many, but some—and that there are a few children who may not have a merry Christmas unless you help give it to them. No doubt some organization will take charge of this work and you should help them in any way you can. Some how or other the proposed j ship subsidy does not become popular even with the effort of the adminisi (ration back of it. Why this nation ■ should almost give the ships to the big trusts J and then protect them against loss, by a subsidy of millions a year, is difficult to get under the skin of the average citizen. The bonus would go to only a few men and would not provide a great national fleet as is claimed by some. It’s just a graft and that's all there is to it and if they put it over the people will surely remember it when the time j comes to vote again. Thursday is Thanksgiving day, and we should give devout thanks to He who hag blessed us in so many ways. We should be grateful for a thousand hings, including the privilege of living in a land where there is peace and plenty, where our loved ones are around us and where the future looks ( bright indeed for those who try to help themselves. Let us hope and pray that the war clouds now hovering over Europe will soon lift and the sun so long hidden shine through again. And while you are giving thanks, don’t forget to be kind to the unfortunate and make him feel like being thankful, too. The outlook for Decatur is the brightest in all history and with just a little break of luck and the continued betterment of business, no longer just around the corner, this city and this county should sure step out. Several local industries are planning now to double their capacity and a new one or two would like to come,

Get ready to move ,t with the progress. e . . Effort will be made to repeal the t primary law in Indiana and an orr ganization has been perfected, it is p announced, to push the repeal through _ That the law in its present form is , an expensive proposition and at least . needs fixing, there is no doubt. It the , delegates were elected by primary it , seems it would prevent any "gang i control" and would be much less expensive. Efforts to repeal the absent voters' law are also being made. As soon as we get a law through along ■ comes the complaiuers and declare it no good and then we have to do i it all over. The gasoline tax and a boost on the auto license looks assured and there will be other methods of taking your cash away from you if the leaders have their way. Tell your representative and senator how you feel about the prqposed changes so they can vote intelligently. o !• + + + + + + + + + + + + •!■ h BISHOP 22 YEARS + *• + + ♦ + + + •J , 4> + + + + + +

CONFUSING TERMS IN EVERYDAY ENGLISH SHALL—WILL These forms of the future tense are used us follows: —“Shall is used after "I” and "we" to express more futurity, or prediction. "Will” after "you. he she, it, they" and all other nouns or pronouns. If the speaker wishes to express determination, "shall" or "will" are used inversely, for example. "You shall do what I say.” (Exercise of the will). "I will see that you do it." (Determination). In questions, if “shall" and "will" j is expected in the answer, the word I expected should be used in the question. For example —"Shall you go in spite of the opposition?” "1 will.” "Will” cars not be used with the first person in an interrogative sentence because no one can know one's own will but one's self. For “Shall I be late?” is correct. “Should” and "would" follow the same rules as "shall" and “will."
