Kill: GOLDEN RULE:— Our readers will permit us, we trust, to remind them again that next Sunday, the 7th instant, is Golden Rule Sunday. It will be remembered that this observance is sponsored by (he Near East Relief, to which this community has given most generously in years past. Its appeal for orphans left alone and helpless in the world when the Turks undertook to wipe out the Armenian nation, was first made to the American public in the midst of the war years. Except the Red Cross, no other of the peat charities originating in that time continues still in operation, and the Red Cross is largely devoted to beneficiaries other than those whom it was then aiding. But the Near East Relief i still obligated for the care of the same orphans whom it gathered from the highways and byways after the scourge of the Turkish sword has passed by. A considerable portion of the older children have, of course, fnme since to the age of self-support, and these have been very successfully “placed out” in situations where they promise to be i credit to their parentage and to afford a virile new stock to continue the life of their ancient nationality. But the most of those trought in for orphanage shelter four or five years ago were scarcely more than infants, while the Smyrna horror of three rears ago added a host of even younger wards to the dependant <ear East. These are but children still. It is evident, therefore, that the necessities of this great philanthropy remain insistent. It is equally evident that the fervor of sentimental benevolence which thrilled America in the time of battle and blood has largely cooled. The sentimentalist is not impressed with welldressed and well-fed orphans in a properly conducted asylum as when the picture before him was of ragged waifs in the gutter. But those orphans need food and clothing just the same now a ■ when they were first rescued from the Turk, and American generosity is their supreme hope. This the practical-minded and unsentimental giver knows quite well—and he gives accordingly. Our people, we believe, are this clear-headed sort oi givers—and we expect next Sunday’s local collection for this charity to prove it. * ★ ★ * What do you think of a paid secretary for the year 1925, members of the Decatur Industrial Association It would cost something of course, but if we got results similar to those obtained by many cities over the country, it would surely be worth it. There are many things to be done if one has nothing else to think about. It would be fine to have an efficient man thinking and w'orking constantly for all of us and if he is big enough for the job he will show you enough results at the end oi the year to convince you that it was the best money you ever spent. We would like to see it tried out or at least we would like to hear it (hscussed and some information obtained from other cities. We will be glad to publish the opinion of any good booster on this question. Send yours in and help put a little snap and pep and get up and go into things in general. > ★ ★ ★ ★ Koretz gets a sentence of from one to ten years, which means he will be out in about fifteen months if he’s lucky and he is. He insists the two millions he stole are gone but it would be interesting to know just what he did with it in so shoit a If a man steals a few dollars he gets two to fourteen, but it he steals two million he gets one to ten and then if he has the pu he gets out in a few' months. No wonder we have those who feel that the old adage about justice being blind has become a joke. ** * * The cross word contest is now being used in some places by those seeking new methods of entertainment. The hostess as a bunch of the same puzzles printed up, distributes them to her guests and gives a prize to the first one turning in a couei answer. Its one game you can’t hold out a hand on am it ceps the guests busy for an hour or two. Any way its re J mtoor sport, inexpensive and of more benefit than most ot tem a are originated. ★ * * * Remember what a howl was made when the democrats forced through their tax reduction bill last winter, in place oi the Mellon plan? The president reluctantly signed it but said it would bankrupt the country. Now' he has tin ner\< am courage to admit that it has met all purposes and a owed a seventy million dollar surplus. Why talk about the Mellon plan when this is true? ** * * Its less than three weeks until Christmas. If you purpose doing your Christmas shopping early you will have o s ai wi in the next week. After that, its the grand rush, lake alo at todays paper and the others from now on and help the merchants and the clerks by making up your lists in advance. ou I will find it solves many problems and will be geneia y .ie p u .

PKwwiiP The Rich Poor Man What wealth has he who holds the key To love's abundant store! His heart is full of harmony Peace from his lips outpours. X Hsi friendships, — like the flowers of spring That make the wmodlands gay; In numbers more than he can count, And sweeter every day. His house may be an humble hut, But wide its path is worn, Each evening finds his guest-lamp lit, “Welcome! 1 ’ makes glad each morn, | When sorrow comes, that come to Whether of small or great A hundred hands reach out to help, | And one his wishes wait. J What wealth has he who holds the key To love’s abundant store! The richest of the rich is he, Though poorest of the poor. -' o ■ ( Big Features Os ) RADIO ( Programs Today | FRIDAY’S RADIO PROGRAM (Cojyright 1924 by United Press) KHJ, Los Angeles, (469 m) 8 p. m.
