With the weather about right for this time of year and Christmas but | ten days away the stores were all I ■ busy today and will continue so dur-I ing the next week. You will find i many useful and beautiful articles and the prices reasonable as coin-J pared to those of other cities. Make i your selections at once. Senator Hiram Johnson of* Cali fornia says he was double crossed by the committee which selected Cleve- , land as the republican conventioncity so the southern delegates could ~ gi t there easily. Well Uncle Hi I might as well get used to beyng run i, over by the steam roller for its all: greased and he will have to expect i to finish all ironed out. i Sunday conies but once a week. It. is a day set apart for rest and for the worship of God. It should be sol observed and those who can should I, attend church. You owe support to; these institutions which have more; than any other agency made this the ’ greatest country of the world. Go top church. Go to your own if you lijp'C ‘ a preference but if not go to any. It I, will help you and the church and the | community. Christmas is a time for giving and , ’ those who do it are the happiest.. There is always danger in duplica-1 tion ot gifts of food and clothing to the'poor and the safest way is to* serve through one organization. The I Delta Theta Tan sorority are trying I to raise a fund with which to supply i the needy on Christmas. The total | to date is about SIOO. If they had four or five times that amount they I would do the work and try to take ' care of every child and family. It ; would bf the finest and best way to-l do it and the time is short. 11 Democratic candidates for governor are announcing and it is clear; that the fight wiil be an interesting one. This district has an old time' ; I fighter in the contest, Hon. Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderton, editor of the Bulletin and former state audi-; tor. He has a wide acquaintance: over th- state, knows politics like most people know the alphabet and' supported by the old eighth district is sure to be a formidable contender for the high honor. Charles Greathouse and W. H. O’Brien who have been prominently mentioned have ; both announced they wiil not be, candidates. - I Mr. Vaib wiil find he has been bad-, ly advised in his attitude towards' Governor McCray. While the people, don't approve what the governor has' done, neither do they sanction Walk's: attitude that the governor is working for him or that the only thing to “ be considered is a political party. Ifthe governor lias done what In.- is. charged with or a part of it he has injured the state. Congressman Will R. Wood has written a letter to Henry Marshall. editor of the JLafayfette' Journal-Courier in which be scores Walb for his attitude and Wood is a . I leading republican whose position will probably be folk ed Mothers". grin—-iga—wr ■» - -■ -z. ■ • The Uaii.cd States department of

j agriculture has worked out another 1 'great problem which should hence- | forth make it easy for the farmer to i get along. In a bulletin which reach-' ’ed the various editorial desks over' | I the country this week they declare i a colt should be “carefully broken land well trained when young." There pou buve it. Why worry any more? I That's, the way to make a success of i your farm and correct ail the ills and copies ot the bulletin may be .hud free by applying to the department ut ' Washington.

The luu.istriai Association should ’ihave a program for the New Year.

Recent- ' ly a citizen wrote his opinion of this I matter alid recited some ot the needs ; and some things which would help Decatur. They were all excellent and to these could be added a number of others. The main thing is to 1 do them and wc won’t do them unless Iwe start.
