It is said the popular campaign song for next year will be "The banks along the Wabash and other places" by Mr. McCray and the game for the season will be “Who had the $155,000 , all the time?’* < ■ i The state borrowed a half million ( yesterday to pay the highway commission for gasoline taxes borrowed. About next month they will borrow! I 4 from the gas fund again to pay off the loan and so it goes with this won- 4 derful scheme of -high financing. 4 Decatur's football teams lost yes- ' terday but the boys still have their , heads up and are recognized as bet- , ter than average elevens. One of the a good things about high school sports is that the boys learn to lose with a .. L smile. A trading stamp scheme may look { attractive to start with but you will find a lot of things about it that won't please you and after you are in a few months and want to let go you c will wish you had never heard of it. At least that has been the experience . in other places. A straight and legitimate business is better than a flash. *■““ c If you go to church tomorrow you v will surely hear something which ‘ 5 will help you and we know you i won't hear anything which will hurt you. The words from the Bible, the j sermon, the music, the contact with i those trying to live better, will help you and cheer you and make you forget some of your every day cares. 1 Try it and see.

The same campaign of saving in the state would in four years leave us a hundred million dollars to the bad. The condition of the state road be- • tween here and Fort Wayne is reported better the last day or two, th" ( fresh stone either being ground in or off. Wc insist if the roller was used < as it is on other sections the roads 1 would be better all the time. In ■ many places the highways arc iu fluc| condition a day or two after the new stone is put on and we believe it can ■ be on this twenty miles if the right means is used. Wth the General Electric, Decatur tastings, sugar factory, packing house, Krick A Tyndall, faring I Glove company and other couiM-rns' operating full time, there are few people idle iu Decatur who wSnt to work. Th' 1 Christmas business ought to be good and you will save a lot of worry by doing your whopping early.

; to secure money during the past year ior two. lie has not only used his 1 friends, his farm managers, his political appointees, the state funds from the agricultural board but be has mortgaged and remortgaged his farms. Less than a year ago the governor bought a tract of 640 acres of Indiana land. The deed was not recorded until September 15th of this year and during that time two mortgages, one for $30,000 and one for $34,000 Was recorded against this tract and in addition a vendor's lien against the same farm for $50,000 is held by E. M. Duffey of Chicago, a brother of Luke Duffey of Indianapolis who is a favorite brother-in-law of the governor. An ordinary man who tried to get away with that deal alone would be out of luck and that's only one of many. .* — ♦+♦*+♦♦+♦+♦*♦♦♦ + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From tha Daily Democrat flies ■> + 20 years ago this day ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Nov. 3 —Mr. and Mrs. Henry C.

1 ■ The Fourth Down By Willie Punt Yes, we have no alibis. Reports from Richmond aj-e that the Yellow Jackets were outplayed and it must be admitted that the C. C. H. S. team outplayed the local Catholic high eleven, although the\ did not outfight them. The score here yesterday was not 56-0. Not by any means. The visitors were sent to the rescue early in the first quarter and kept there for the remainder of the game. Little Mongo Meyers displayed real grit yesterday by returning to the game after being carried from the field completely knocked out He was carried off the field again in the last quarter, after putting up a hard fight, but he's game and is ready for more. Several of tho D. C. H. S. boys show promise of developing into great players after they have had r.ome more practice. None of them gradhate this year. We would like to know where Rich- i mond carries their horseshoe when they play Decatur. They seem to hold a jinx over the locals every year. Anyway we must take Peru. Out of Bounds, of Bluffton, says that Liberty Center and Ossian are the only Wells county basketball teams scheduled by Decatur this year and that he believes those two are two too much. We have a hunch that Outta is going to be surprised. With Bushman off the C. C. H. S. team, the visitors wouldn't have made su<h h-ad May against the Jocal team. The flashy halfback sure deserves a whale of a lot of credit. His name.more than likely will appear in a college or university lineup before long. o EVANGELICALS (Continued from Page One) .1. E.
