May this be the very best of all the yeais so far, may you have health, wealth and happinessStart the New Year off right—renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. We want you to help us' print a paper which will meet every demand in this field. Write it 1926. You will get used to it after you have biue penciled the '25 a few times. The years slip by rapidly ami we notice it especially after we have reached the age of two and a half scores. Florida Fights Cold.—Headline. Last summer it was heat, a few weeks ago It was a Hood, last week it was an embargo, and as things are now going, it will be the influx of northern tourists next month—lndianapolis News. The Fort Wayne school board has advanced the salary of the school superintendent to $8,400 4 year, making it a fairly good job. Its only a few years since it was argued that the janitor received mere wages than the teachers, but they seem to be getting over tiiat now days. Lew Shanks, who retired as mayor of Indianapolis today, lias been offered SSOO a week by a vaudeville cir- , cult. Believe it was Barnum who said "a sucker is born every minute”, 1 only these days we could probably advance that to a time limit of a . second.

The fellow who was boasting because he got Los Angeles on the radio was choked off the other day by the fellow who got the thermometer in his living room to register seventytwo when ihe one on the porch showed live below. If you have suggestions to make which you believe will benefit the community we urge you to write them and send them in for publication. Thats what the ■'Voice of the Feoph' • column is for and w# hope you use it. We may not always agree ■with you but we believe diversified opinions are good for every on e and that out of numerous opinions may come the best results. Let not forget that a public park instead of the old cemetery would be about as big an improvement as we could make for city appearances and lets continue the work started last year in cleaning up the river banks, beautifying entrance roads to the city and ki eping up a good front there and every where. It all helps In this age when thousands of tourists pass through the city each season. As the roads are improved this traffic will incrouse—the greater reason for being "up on our toes" so far as making a city attractive is -concerned.

l or two weeks, beginning January Ibth a half dozen or more Decatur churches will conduct meetings which it Is hoped will attract, sufficient attention to get the minds of the.people down to the importance of apiritual and religious matters. The pastors ure preparing for the occasion and if properly supported will arouse the people as Ihey have not been in a number of years. It is admitted we have all been slipping rather last these past years—a sort of jazz age

—and that there Is danger in forgetting that life here U but aa exam for that Greater Life of after while. The pastors hope to call attention to some facts that ought to be seriously, solemnly and carefully considered. They arc not going to scold you but they are going to set you to thinking right. Several things may happen this year which will help this community, for instance a favorable decision for the Van Sweringena in their efforts to consolidate the Erie with their t>ther lines and to improve their Nickel Plate combination with a short line from here to Dupont or Latty. Ohio. It is believed this would result in a division here and perhaps in small shops. One or two of the local manufacturing plants may be enlarged to the advantage of the community; the Cloverleaf Creameries are now making improvements which will cost $50,000 to $75,000; it is known that a number of residences will be built here the coming spring and summer and there is a general feeling that the year will be a big one in a business way, all of which should make every on c resolute to assist in putting over those things which are of greatest benefit to all.

Glad be the year new-born Bright be its seasons four. May never a blast of scorn Come biting through the door. May the old despairs give way To tbc peace of a fairer day. May laughter and love and mirth Come into the lives of all, Aud the uttermost cuds of the earth Rejoice at life's call . May the brotherhood of man Be more tliau a dream or a plan.
