Poes Jim Watson love Mr. Coolidge so much or himself more? The governor even forgot to turn in 245,000 for income taxes. He will know considerably more about his affairs than ever before when the legal steps are ail concluded. A tourist camp near here, one which would be talked about by those who stop with us, would mean as much for Decatur as a good factory. The origininvestment is but little, more depending on the organization which has charge of the affair. It means a lot to have some one at the camp who can give information and render slight services to those who use the camp. Attend the meeting December 7th and help make this a real part of our efforts for next year. ♦ ■' •. The schools of Decatur will observe Thanksgiving Day in a way'that will bring back to older people the days of long ago when the day meant more than it has the past few years. Each child will be requested to bring an apple, an orange or some other article and the supply thus secured will he distributed among the poor. It's a splendid idea at this time when the ministers are making «an extra offer to return to old-time observation of the day. The football game on Thanksgiving afternoon will be a good one and th' 1 crowd should be the largest of the season. The high school athletic association is slightly behind financially and this game is in the nature of ;♦ benefit for them. You will enjoy the big event and if you make the game a [ art of your program, that act will be appreciated "by Coach ‘Thick" Howard, Mr. Worthman, Mr. Linton and the boys.

squad play their last game for old D. H. S. —. Sunday, December 2nd. has been designated as International Golden Rule Day and do you know how you r are expected to observe it? You will !"• be asked, instead of seeing, how much you can eat that day to use ns the f menu for your meals, the diet of the poor and suffering and starving children of the Near East. Just tor one 9 day, that you may partially realize 3 what it means when you give a thin ) j dime or a dollar to relieve the millions j over there. Os course most of us J won't de it but all of us will think of > it and about it und that will help 1 considerably. 1 How will you observe* Thanksgiving Day? Os course you will have* a dinner and enjoy a reunion and go to the football game and all those* things but how about going to a service in which you join the others of the community in thanking God for all the million favors and kindnesses of the

past year. Have you ever considered that the day is a national holiday, that *the president and the governor and the mayor have- all proclaimed it so and urged you to observe it by returning thanks and that when you don't you are not complying with the proclamation? In the old days this occasion was religiously observed by the* faithful pioneers and this nation was blessed. Now because we are prosperous and great, shall we neglect the duty? - - - / A Senator Jim Watson is a candidate for preside nt and he is a slick obi , Jim. His entrance in the race shows it for he has figured it out so that he 1 will not offend the backers of Mr. Coolidge. He kept silent until Johnson got in and now he says that the . California progressive cannot have the Hoosier support. To make that ' stick he proposes to enter the race himself and then he can do what he wants with the thirty votes. Os course he may pick up a few elsewhere and if he can enter the convention even as a dark horse unless one of the othef candidates is strong enough to v. in ou the first ballot, Jim will pull some foxy behind the seem* stuff and may put it over. He's an old fox in politics and he is out after big game right now. Watch him. Mr. Stone while boosting the Harding Highway here said that one of the finest things a community can do i to conduct a»eainpnign of courtesy strangers. He suggests that when any citizen sees a tourist car standing along the street you go up and ask if there is any way you can be of service, it sounds like good sense and we know it's being hospitable and the results might be far greater than you would imagine. The tourist! business will inc reuse, with each year and it means something when forty or fifty thousand cars pass through.
