The high school alumni can be made a happy event of the holiday season if we all enter into the plans with the right kind of enthusiasm. And if you miss this you certainly overlook the opportunity for a half dozen happy hours on December 28th. the chance to meet old friends and to hear again the pleasant recounting of those old school days. Ed Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio, national democratic leader, died suddenly at his rooming house yesterday. For a decade or two Moore has been an outstanding figure in national conventions- He put James M. Cox over at San Francisco in ’ 1920, was one of the Smith stand patters in New York in 1924 and in his home state was credited with a dozen brilliant victories. The Elks will dedicate their beau? tiful new home December 15th when Deputy Brown, of Anderson, will be • here to inspect the quarters. A happy program with a banquet and various forms of entertainment is to be provided and the boys are anticipating a deservedly good time. The providing of such a home is a big task, a credit to the lodge and a splendid thing for the city. There is Just no use trying to fool yourself — you won’t really enjoy Christmas unless you have the feeling that you have helped others to The girls at the C. E. plant have subscribed twenty-five dollars to the Good Fellows club and that's the right spirit. Come on folks, help m ike this the banner year for the poor kiddies of this community. And don’t put it off. Dtop your subscription in now.

He demonstrated it again ' yesterday by making a $300,000 touchdown with the movies and to show just how wise he is, he gets the money in advance but don't have to " report for duty until March. Now if he don't get mixed up with the ’ divorcers and divorcees at Hollywood and has enough common sense to • ■ “hold his head when those around him are losing their’s,” he ought to • save enough to assure his “dad” of comfort in his declining years. And you know that’s what Red has always claimed was his ambition.

Superintendent Magley will do his' "T best to save the roads during this* soft weather and dangerous period of the year. He does not like to inconvenience any one or to cause the arrest of any driver but it will probaldy be necessary. It may make some persons angry, but the officers cannot do else and avoid severe criticism for not doing their duty. Our roads have cost millions of dollars. Don’t tear them up in a day or two and don't permit the other fellow to do so. Remember that wljen it is necessary to rebuild that road
