A week from next J’riday is Christmas. That way of putting it may cause you to realize that the big event is right hereThe year 1925 is rbout over and this would be a good time to begin thinking about 1926 and what we will do. Indications are that it will be better in a business way. As a community we can take advantage of the fact it we will.

Its getting a little late to shop early but you still have all next week and you will profit by starting in Monday and finishing the job. The Decatur stores are filled with gifts, beautiful and useful and you will be surprised at the prices. For two weeks, beginning January 10th. tli v churches of Decatur will make an effort to interest the people of their congregation in spiritual affairs. Its a splendid movement. Make your dates accordingly. Lodges and other organizations are co-operating in the work. Whiskey flasks and cock tail shakers are sa id to be the biggest sellers in the jewelry department of q big Indianapolis store for the Christmas trade and every one who gets one is expected to violate th e law. The trouble seems to be that a Ipt of people don't want to enforce the law and as many don't -want it enforced. Christmas without the exchange of gifts would not be so delightful or so popular. Have you ever really stopped to think seriously about those folks so unfortunate as to not be able to do this and of the boy and girls who would press their faces against the window glass, in vain hopes of seeing Santa come? A little donation to the Good Fellow club will assure you that there will be none of these in this community. Are yoy using Christmas seals? Every penny you spend for one of these little seals goes to fight one of humanity's greatest enemies — tuberculosis. The money secured from the sale of Red Cross stamps is the only fund which the organization has and that your money thus spent heretofore, has been worth while is easily proven by the records of success Duly a few years ago in each county of the middle west dozens of people died annually from tuberculosis. Now such an occurance is rare. During this week the local banks have paid out to Christmas savers some twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars and the fact has been quite noticeable among the stores. Its a mighty fine thing end while enjoying it, you should not forget to start a savings account now for next year. Its a good thing for the community, the bank, the merchant but its a better thing for you and the best boosters are those who have been doing it for some years. Thrift is one of the needs of this country and any thing which helps along that line is worth while. Start a savings account now so that when next summer arrives you will hav e the money tor a vacation or when Christmas comesXagain you will be all set to pay as you go. Lafayette will secure the state Pythian home, according to announcement made by the site committee yesterday. The committee, of whjch Mr. Lower e-f thia city, was chairman.

Time will no doubt convince all those who hoped for the choice of another city of the wisdom of the board. We belieye

they have selected wisely and that their action will be approved. The city of Lafayette offers fifty thousaud dollars as a bonus and will provide a number of benefits, including Purdue University, is well located, has railroad facilities which make it easily accessible tad is a thriving city of the right size. We congratulate the committee upon their prompt action and the clean manner of handling the proposition.

About two hundred people have al- , ready signified intentions of attesting the first annual home coming of the Decatur High School Alumni on -rhe afternoon and evening of December 28th. The program committee is now working out the details for the occasion. Suffice to say that'it will be unique and interesting. Many are coming from, a .distance, especially tor the event, and you will sure enjoy it. Take your wife or husband . along. They are invited whether or not they are graduates of this school and those in charge hope that there will be no misunderstanding about this. Don't hesitate because of the size of the crowd. "We can take care of six hundred if necessary,’' said Mr. Worthman this morning. If you haven't sent in your card, please do so as soon as you can so the commit- 1 tees may work accordingly. 0 — KXISXMXUXKSSSSXKKX g g S TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X , S K 1 From the Daily Democrat Flit , tS Twenty Years Ago This Day 3 9 3 333 H S RSS 333555 KSSX 3 .

Dodge Brothers SPECIAL. , TYP&-B SEDAN A car that many will consider an ideal Christmas gift for the family. To lounge restfully in the ample rear seat is an experience in motoring luxury.

It is this knowledge7-that you are not enjoying luxury at the sacrifice of economy—which, in the final analysis, is the solid foundation on which rests your pleasure in giving or in owning the-special Type-B Sedan. 9 Ask us about Dodfye Brothers '' New Credit-Purchase Plan THOMAS J.
