The shortest day in the year, so you hav e to work that much faster to get every thing done, including your Christmas shopping. The sun rose at 1:04 this morning and sets at 4:23. The track is all greased for Santa Claus. The blanket of snow came just in season and reports from the north pole are that the old boy has his reindeers all harnessed, his sled packed and is ready for the big trip around the globe. The blanket of snow saved a disastrous and tremendous fire loss this morning, no doubt, when the the sparks from the garage fire carried several blocks ahd without that protection would have probably wiped out a block or two on First street. Perhaps the most important overhead you have to consider is that of fire insurance as its demonstrated several times a year. Protection 's necessary for your own good, for your creditors, lor your community. Wt usually think of these things after a big lire and its well we doA little extra care al this time of year may save you thousands of do! lars in fire loss. If you will just think about it, many of the most disastrous fires in this section have occurred at this season of the year, the old Burt ■ House, the Schafer building and a number of others. Be careful. If Senator Bruce, of Maryland, gets his bill through thq senate the country will again have the old time wet and dry fights. He proposes an amendment to the eighteenth amendment of the constitution, providing that the liquor question be decided by local option elections. Thats the surest way to keep the problem stir red up for the next hundred years. You only have p day. or two in which to subscribe to the fund for the poor kiddies. The Gtjbd Fellow’s club it still open but you will have to hurry if you are to get in on it this year. The young ladies in charge are busy thus week with their plans to make the Christmas cheer a little brighter than ever. Thank you all who helped them do it for we know they appreciate the splendid co-operation you have given again. We regret the decision of Rev. Arthur W. Hinz of tfie Lutheran church to leave Decatur but we congratulate him upon the opportunity thus offered him to serve in a larger field. Rev. Hinz is a splendid, Christian gentleman who has during hie years as a citizen in, Decatur endear ed himself to every one who has come in contact with him. He is sincere, industrious, talented and will make good at Cleveland where he will move shortly. A man who had worked many years as a watchman in a Philadelphia bank had an opportunity to steal about fifty thousand plunks. He worked himself up t the pitch, got the money and started away in hi.c«r but was stricken with heart fail ure and died. Looks like the Lorr was taking a hand in this free ant basy epidemic with other people, money. The streets and roads are slipper and without any desire to offend an; person, we take the liberty of agaii to be caretui. You cm

I skid easily and you can cause a tergi rible wreck. Don't speed, watch the stop signals, turn the corners carefully and avoid accidents. -KSKSHHHSHHB The Chicago Daily News, u newsr paper built up during the business life of one man, Victor F. Lawson, has been sold for something over a fourteen million dollars. The com- ® pany which purchased the property s included a number of famous men 2 such as Governor Lowden, Vlce-presi--0 dent Dawes and others who have inil--0 lions to invest to secure power. However this is a fine investment which will earn them dividends no doubt tor the management is to continue the same as it has been and the paper is recognized as one of the world's greatest Bids were also offered by ‘ James Cox, ofj Dayton, a syndicate J headed by Governor Smith, of New r York, anti other men of national repu- ' tation.

Its going to be a fine time ■”fth 1 numerous surprises and a reunion of 1 those who got their “reading’, 'ritin' * and rithemetlc” together inutile De- ' catur schools. Wish we could tell 1 you all about it but a part of 'he program is for each decade to work out its own. Any way if you haven’t decided to go, better get your name in. Don’t be squeemish. If you have been overlooked by the invitation committee, just remember its a - big job and a hard one to get all the names an<f that any oversight is unintentional. If |-ou are an alumnus of the Decatur high schools, plan to be there and if you don’t feel you can come to the banquet, join the after dinner crowd and enjoy the program. — o ■ ' - — ■ »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * (Copyright 1925 by United Press) WJV, New York, 405. 8:15 p. m.
