r 1 Your financial support is needed to put over the Christmas desired lor the "poor kiddies” of this community. You have nine days left in which to do your shopping. Os course you can still do it without rushing but you must start at once or get swallowed in the final jam. Watch the Daily Democrat this week for Christmas advertising. The Merchants will list their goods in such manner that you can easily make your selections and know what you want when you get to the stores. A Georgia woman killed three deer in two shots the other day and they are making a great fuss about it. We heard of a fellow who shot at a rabbit one das’ and killed a cow and a halt dozen sheep and wasn’t elected to any office either. Oh yes, the rabbit got away. If cohgress will change the income tax law so no one will have to pay any tiling, fix away to meet all expenses without raising the cost of any thing, repeal the inheritance tax law. order a few canals built and public buildings erected and then adjourn for Christmas, we are in favor of Santa Claus remembering them. A fleet of ships carrying thousands of gallons of foreign made liquors have successfully landed off the coast of Maryland, according to newspaper reports. Its funny the government officials don’t read the papers, isn’t it? If they did they would know right where to find the rum fleet. We hear a lot about cancer cures and the progress being made along that line, but the statistics gathered by the government show the mortality rate Jhirty per cent higher now than tw-enty years ago in ten eastern states. Most of the deaths occurred among people over forty years old. Now theres that to worry about. You have just about a week to join the Good Fellows club for this year. Please don’t put it off any longer The sum is considerably below what it was tliis time last year. Surely you are just as anxious to see that the poor boys and girls of this communi’;. hav e a Merry Christmas this year as last. Drop your dollar in one of the boxes today or tomorrow. Down at Indianapolis they are raising a Christmas fund too. They have a Santa Claus sitting in one of the big stores and each day many people call on him and subscribe. Saturday he almost had to be revived when a stranger walked up and without giving his name, laid down thirty dollars in crisp bills and walked away. That’s what we call real charity from the

right kind ot a scul. A thirteen cent stamp is to be put out by the government January 11th, bearing a porlrait of Benjamin Harrison, former president of the United States'. Just why they “picked" ou the latci Uncle Ben has not been officially announced but Postmaster New probably has some deep reason for it. W'hat do you suppose any \ body will want with a thirteen cent postage stamp any way? D. C. Stephenson, a few months ago a respected and powerful citizen appeared in Noblesville Saturday to hear arguments for a new trial la his case. It was denied and his only

He has lost his jaunty air, was dressed in prison garb, and spent much time in evidently trying to hide his cropped hair. All of which goes to .show that when a man thinks he is the law, he is in for a tough run.

The splendid response to the invitations for the Alumni reunion and banquet to he held two weeks from today have pleased those in charge. More than two hundred have accepted and its to be a happy occasion, with a program designed to make every one glad they came. The afternoon will be devoted to meeting each other again, class organizations, etc., the banquet will be held at six o’clock in the gym with a short program, there will be entertainment in the auditorium afterwards and a dance for the young people. The program will be announced in a few days. Send in your card now because you will want to go and (he committees must have some idea of the number to prepare for.

Bravery Os Night Man Foils Attempted Robbery Logan, lowa, Dec. 11. — (United Press)—Bravery of Night Marshal John R. Armstrong, 65, early today saved the bank here from being looted by a gang of armed bandits who terrorized the town. Armstrong, accompanied by his faithful dog, came upon three of the men engaged in cutting telephone wires leading out of Logan at 3. a. m. He approached the men and was ordered to throw up his hands. Instead, the marshal reached for his revolver. One of the bandits fired with a sawed-off shot gun, the charge shattering Armstrong’s 4eg so badly that it will have to be amputated. Mrs. Joe Copeland, 75, was aroused by the shot and switched on the lights in her room. The robbers shot out the light with their shot guns. Mrs. Copeland fell over in fright and fractured a rib. Previous to this, the bandits had held up the night telephone operator and made her divulge the location of all wires leading into the town. They had cut every one ot them with the exception of one railroad wire leading into Council Bluffs. After shooting Armstrong the bandits fled, “shooting up" the road as they retreated.
