You will feel more like Thanksgiving if you have done some thing for some one else. How about helping your neighbor with his beet crop if he needs it? _ The beet crop is being saved. With good weather this week, we are told the big tonnage will be out of the ground or hauled in. That's fine and we congratulate the folks wild have aided in this work. After all this is the best community in the world, isn't it? Are the alleys cleaned for winter? City officials hav e been trying their best to get this done and with a little aid from the citizens, all of them, will accomplish it. A city is no better appearing than its worst looking spot and its important that we be as careful with the alleys as we are with the streets. If you haven’t enough coal or fuel for the winter, better put it in now Tor there are indications that when the winter winds are raging wildest, the soft coal mines may join the anthracite workers in the strike which has been in progress a couple of A.ionths. Wise and thrifty folks will g. cure their fuel while they cau.

If the old cemetery can be converted into an attractive looking park by next summer, it will be another step towards becoming a better city. The past few years, many spots have been cleaned up. ornamental street I lights added, the old mill north o'.' town changed into an attractive looking building, new streets constructed • and many things done that help. Lets by all means get rid of the old cemetery if there is away to do it legally and surely there is. • — ———— — Football furnished .a lot of sport last Saturday and several million tans attended th e games. Indiana and Purdue fought to a scoreless tie at the dedication of the new I. U. stadium. Notre Dame nosed Northwestern out, Michigan took Minnesota. Wisconsin trimmed Chicago and "Red" Grange concluded his career in a blaze of glory by defeating Ohio State. It was a big day for the fans and if you have never attended one of these college meets, you have missed a real thrill.

Lewis C. DeVoss, well-known attorney and citizen died this morning, after an illness of several years, during which time however he managed to keep going most of the time. About a week ago he was down street and visited at this office for an hour or two. He was oije of the last of the old school of attorneys here, recognized as a skilled trial lawyer who fought valiantly to the very last ditch for his client. He had a wide acquaintance and his death is mourn cd by a large circle of friends. D. C. Stephenson has passed into No. 11.148. By that number alone will he be known during his stay in Michigan City prison where he has been sentenced for life. He says he has just begun to fight but he will find it harder going from now on in, tor the longer he remains in a murderer's cell, the fewer friends he will find he has. His power of which he once boasted, "I am the law,” is gone and about every one in Indiana feels it is better so. Tee much power in the hands of any man is dangerous aud that is especially true when that man is made of the stuff which Steph-

The Veterinary Director-General of Canada announced recently that there are about 1,200,000 tuberculous cattle in the country. That is about 12 per cent of al! Canadian catle, and indi-

cates a condition very much better than any Old World country can show and about the same as in the t’nited States. Two policies are being aggressively pursued to hasten the elimination of the disease. One Is the establishment of disease-free areas. In the three sections already listed! each of which is fairly large, bovine tuberculosis has been completely wiped out. All cattle have been tested and every diseased animal has been slaughtered. The other policy is the development of diseasefree herds. Under this plan herd owners apply to the government for regular annual tests, promptly eliminating any infected cattle and so building up an accredited herd. This policy is "also followed in Amerjca. It is a sort of work that spreads with progress. A dairyman or farmer who has done his part to eliminate the disease on his farm isn't pleased if his neighbors leave their cattle untested. A community spirit of cooperation ill the matter is created. The work is also advanced by the growing demand of consumers for milk from accredited herds only. With all the educational work that is being carried on to get people to drink more milk and to insure that every child has its quota, the importance of healthy dairy herds is obvious.

MAKING USE OF A GOSSIP

Miss Genevieve Sieve was a talkative maid Who scattered her secrets wherever she strayed: She gabbed and she blabbed every tale that she heard.* Repeated it all by the line and the word: She carried it back to the party concerned And always gave odt where the story she’d, learned. Now a friend of mine worked for Mjsu Genevieve's dad And he needed a raise, but no courage he had To go in with a grin on his face and demand More coin of the realm fbr the work of his hand. So. knowing Miss Genevieve Sieve and her ways, 1 ventured to say 1 could get him that raise. « That evening I said to Miss Genevieve Sieve: "Don't breathe to a soul this deep secret I give, Yqu know, my friend Joe- Weil, au offer he's had

Dangert Os Change To Low Wave-Length Cited New York. Nov. 23—A hitherto little discussed but vastly important aspect of proposed wave length changes was revealed at the National Radio Conference in Washington and is now engaging the attention of the radio industry. It was to this effect: that opportunist manufacturers were active propagandists for alternations in the broadcasting wave-bands to permit broadcast stations to use as low as 150 meters —and ..that the whole process of stabilization in the radio industry would have been most seriously damaged if the idea bad gained endorsement.

Joseph D. R. Freeci, president of the Freed-Eisemann Radio Corporation. as a member of Committee'No. 1, dealing with the Allocation of Frediiefacy or Wave-Length Bands, called attention to rhe manifold dangers of the proposal, and emphasized the I extent of the economic disturbance and the misleading of the public that would ensue if wave bands were suddenly extended so as to include 150 meter'a. "Just think, first of all, what ft would mean in the virtual scrapping of 5,000,000 sets,”’Mr. Freed exclaimed. “Thousands upon thousands of families purchased recfivers within the last year, and I need not dwell on the injustice to them that W’otlid be brought about by a quick change ir broadcast wave lengths It is easy to load receivers for higher wave-lengths but very difficult to I »■■ ■• : ■ 1 • - - .. 1

At double the money he gets from your dad. That's promotion he. cannot refuse very well. But. remember, you've promist'd that yoti wouldn't tell.’* The very next morning Miss Genevieve’s dad Said to Joe: "1 am told a large offer you’ve had. Now wait, till I state what I’m willing to do. • I've decided to double your wages for you. What you're worth to another. 11l pay you. instead.” And Joe gasped his thanks., but lie almost fell dead. “How did you work it?” he asked, and I grinned: "Give a gossip the story you'd spread on the wind! Comes the time it's no rime a known failing to use, And a recognized tell-tale will scatter your news. Feed the gossips with fuel. You'll find that it’pays! Miss Genevieve Sieve talked yt>u into that raise.”

ptotidc for the reception of low j wavfe-lehgths. meaning that nearly , all the sets would have to be dis- - carded.” I "Then again," Mr. Freed continued, tn an interview, "it would be a great injustice to amateur operators at this time to take away their wave lengths. ‘‘Consensus of opinion at the con ] ference backed the warm opposition' as expressed by a representative of the leader of the amateurs, MrHiram Percy M&tfm- Besides, change would lead io the opening of many new stations, which policy would not favor, in view of the congestion of the ether by so many stations sending regularly today. "Then we come to ‘another vital consideration. "The radio Industry is slowly being stabilized after its sudden and phenomenal growth which naturally brought in a number of evils. When the manufacture of receivers began there were only two wave lengths for broadcasiiig. 369 and 400 meters. The extension of the wive bands to their present status meant months of research and the expenditure of millions of dollars by radio manufacturers in order that efficient apparatus to cover these wave lengths should be provided to the public at reasonable cost, and the public has looked to these manufacturers with increasing oufidence; likewise the manufacturers feel their responsibility to the public. What would happen if 150 meters was assigned to broadcasting? The

opportunist manufacturers, with no ( reputation for permanent worth to ( maintain, would Instantly turn out; . nondescript apparatus, advertising very likely somewhat along thia at rain: 'The only sets that can brinit in the new stations.' The seta would be made to sell quickly, not to serve the buyers long nnd faithfully. The result would be an injustice to the, mnnufucturera who have invested millions of dollars and are giving employment to hundreds of thou*’ sands of men nnd women. These manufacturers, in radio t-> stay, would not in a day start the production of sets to bring in the lower wave lengths. "In Justice to the public and to themselves, manufacturers of estab-1 llshed reputation would not bring out new sets 1 without spending time and' money in additional research, so as' to develop the finest of receivers. | "I am glad to state that this view was upheld, alhough the conference | was surprised at finding one of the, older manufacturers asking that 150 meters should be taken away from I “No change should be made until the amateurs. an international conference has been held. And that is the attitude of most of the delegates who met in Washington. "Radio is international. What we do here is important to the governments and the fafas of other coun-, tries. Likewise we are concerned with proposed changes in wave-1 lengths in other countries Changes j should be made only under international agreements, and with plenty of advance'notice, in fairness to all parties and chiefly to the listening public. "Fans need not fear, therefore, that any revolutionary change will be made. The Hoover Conference took a firm stand, and I am quite sure the public appreciates that fact."

O. L. Vance Speaks At Monmouth High School O. L. Vance. Decatur merchant, spoke to the pupils of Monmouth high shoo! during the chapel period this morning. Mr. Vance gave a brief account of the early history of Adams county, especially that part relating to Monmouth. Among the things referred to by Mr. Vance were the plank road running from Monmouth to Fort Fayne and the hotels in Monmouth. At one time during the days of the stage coach, Monmouth had six hotels The pupils enjoyed Mr. Vance’s talk greatly, and he was forced to continue his talk until he had spoken for almost an hour. Mr. Vance Will discusS- the early history of the county at a < intv teauljjrs’ institute in the near future. I _ . . f' - I ipoi-te — “Notice Burglars! Please lay off me for a while.
