i You may not get every thing you want for Christmas but perhaps you can find joy in the thought that you also didn’t get some things you didn't want. Wherever the weatherman kept that cold wave the several days wc were looking for it, he did his best to preserve it intact and his efforts were rewarded. According to the report of the federal prohibition agents, 5214 automobiles of liquor were seized during t the year. Now it would be interesting to have a report from the bootleggers and hijackers as to how many were not. seized. What did we tell you children about ! the big snow coming in time for old Santa to hitch up his reindeers and make his trip around the world? Here it is and every thing is in readiness now for the big -occasion with plenty of snow for the red sled and to bring along the real Christmas spirit. The live merchants of Decatur will send you a Merry Christmas greet-1 ing through the columns of the Daily j Democrat tomorrow. Read them all' and be convinced that they are sin-' cere. This is after all the best community in the world and we are going to make it better. Sentiment is after all a great part of life. ' Have you planned your Christina difmer? Os course you have but most of you have not purchased your sup plies of groceries, meats and baked goods. You can easily solve your problems by going over the advertisements in todays paper. Make up your list and you can do your shopping much easier and to better advant ige. Look them over carefully. You will find just what you want. More than a hundred children will receive a visit from the Good Fellow Santa tomorrow and in addition to this many families will be remembered by the various churches, the Elks and other organizations of this city. We live in a community where the people receive great pleasure from bringing joy to others and thats real Christmas. MM——MJ Bandits w’th fierce looking gum looted various Fort Wayne stores and places of business and took thousands dollars wofrth of goods and cash last night, evidently preferring th.it method over the old fashioned otic of hanging up their stockings aud waiting for Santa Claus.

The tire at Fort Wayne Sunday which caused a loss of $350,000 whs caused by the furnace, according, to an investigation made by the city firemen.

winter when your heating plant will be urged to heat producing capacity. An organized effort to defeat the proposed twentieth amendment to the constitution is now being made; in fact a number of organizations are working on the job and we believe a great majority of the people agree with them that the amendment which | provides power for congress to limit, | regulate and prohibit the labor of i persons under eighteen years of age should be defeated now. Among those most active is George Junior Republic, New York, and one of its members writing to the senate used this argument: Wh le we are young we protest that we are not children. We are capable of aiding our parents in the struggle of keeping the wolf from the . door should the necessity arise. Some , of us find that we are even physically stronger than our parents and much more capable of assuming tlu‘ rigorour responsibilities of providing for the household. Others of us find that the force of circumstances has compelled us to provide for ourselves. What are we going to do if this , amendment passes? The alternative seems to be, in this case, the Children's Home, Poorhouse or State Ri> formatory. This prospect is not pleasant to contemplate. • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ * From the,Dally Democrat fllee * ♦ 20 years ago thia day ♦ December 23, 1924. —C. L.

Lutheran and others wishing to avail themselves of the opportunity. The Loyal Order of Moose is nonsectar|an, and at Mooseheart and Moosehaven, the two Moose cities, three subjects of controversy are pro-, hibited and barred. The three are, sectarian, religion, partisan politics ■ and the controversies between employers and employees. It is In the 1 hopes of extending the program 1 against controversy about religion 1 that the Mooseheart station offers the use of the air to all creeds, bused ' upon the teaching of God. Over seven thousand pastors of ' I Episcopalian Churches have been asked by the Rev. Benjamin E. Chapman, to announce to their cougrega- 1 tions about the services on Christ- , mas Eve. / 1 ■' _ O'" '■ British Troops Will Remain In Cologne (UNITED PRESS SERVICE* *1 Paris.

The principal oAe of these had to be with disarmament of Germany. A report of the interallied control commission regarding Germany's disarmament was received yesterday by Marshal Foch's interallied military committee, which met to make recommendations about the evacuation of Cologne.

Through many years the heavy I hand of pain was laid upon her, and patiently, lovingly borne, as sent from the Divine Father. When the summons came calling her to the Temple of Bod, she joined the angelic host, leaving behind her a life of beauty, as an example to all. and tho world better for her having lived in it. Her walk in life is over, but her memory lingers ami will never die. . Resolved, that in her death our | Temple recognizes an irreparable' loss, that our charter be draped in morning for thirty days, these reso-' lutions be placed on the minutes of our Temple, and a copy be sent the Husband and Daughter, and to the city paper.
