Four weeks from today is Christmas. We like football, but we insist these , date November games are almost as interesting and a lot more comfortable when taken from the radio. Twenty-six banks in lowa failed to open for business Friday. Suppose the folks out in that good republican state feel that this is the first installment of the good times promised in the recent campaign. • - — Women are going out of the bootlegging business, it is reported from Washington because it is too hard a game. The surprise to most of us is that they ever got into It in the first place. i Lest you forget, its just four weeks until Christmas and your shopping is I much easier if attended toearly. Start Monday morning and remember that Decatur stores and shops are filled with the most wonderful goods in the wg. id and the prices are just right. Decatur on two of the most important ft ieral highways in the country is assurance of future growth, but to hold our place ou those highways, we must be progressive enough to meet the government with easements and with such requirements as they ask. Being famous has its drawbacks and its bur,dens, a Chicago woman has i filed ui: f.u> $50,000 against Knute Rockne. No one knows her and the attorney refuses to state just what tlie charges are. Evidently she is I seeking a place in the sun. The Anti-Tuberculosis Society has reduced that disease fifty per cent in 'the middle west during the past twenty years. Most of that wonderful work has been financed by the sale of Red Cross seals at Christmas time, it should be a pleasure for you to assist in the campaign to sell 100,000 seals in Adams county this year.

Jim Nejdl, o£ Whiting, wants to be president of the state senate and Tom Grant, of Gary, is a candidate for| speaker of the house. That’s asking i consul. :able for Lake county but ■ judging front the returns in the recent ■ election, it will meet the approval of Senators Watson and Robinson, Lake was the one real green spot for the repabli an in Indiana this year. Henry .Ford now declares he will fight the devil by hiring five thousand boys at independent wages, on the theory that who nthey are idle they get into trouble. Fine, but what about all the other boys. Will they just have to go to-Satan's workshop or will they be permitted to hunt up a job of their own and work honestly as millions have done before them? We have tried the state wide primary out now for some years and about everybody agrees it has been a “fizzer." The republican and democratic parties in their conventions in the early summer promised repeal or amendment. Now watch who opposes and ft, find out why they do and you will know its a tool for combinations and organizations worse than any •'bosses" of the odd days. Sunday again and 'your duty Is to go to church and to go their to worship The jazz age we know makes you step so lively that you are all i

tired out when the Day of Rest comes but you should slacken your speed long enough to remember that the three score years and ten spent here are but fleeting moments in the grand scale of time. This will be a better woyld if we ding to the old-fashioned religion a little more faithfully. The buggy Is passing out of existence and there are only about two hundred concerns now manufacturing them. Its. only a few years since a young man who couldn’t drive out in a smart rig was as much out of date as the one of today who can’t rake up a flivver. That’s why we don’t dispute the statements that another decade will make the airoplane as popular as the car is today. We don't believe it. but we’re afraid it may be : o, having seen what we have. Its a little late in the season for

cyclones and thunder storms, but this has been a very unusual year. It , should teach us that we cannot tell just what is ahead and the one desire and purpose of the Red Cross is to provide for those in need when these disasters come. More than eighty were killed in Louisiana, Arkansas ' ( and Missouri Thanksgiving Day by a tornado which swept across that sec- ', tion. Think of the hundreds who are homeless there, think of the suffering 1 and the unhappiness which can only be relieved by those Angels of Mercy sent out by the Red Cross. Renew your membership NOW. Senator Cann, of Frankfort, is pre- ' paring a bill which will be presented at the coming session of i the legis- < lature to abolish the public service commission. That would cause a lot , of trouble for a led of folks who have invested their money in utilities and j would be unfair to many, but the means of control of the board by <ome of the bijk concerns has about made many people reach the conclusion that the board should be abandoned. As the law was enacted under Governor Ralston and as it was operated for several years it was beneI ficial to the people, but when charges are made of corruptness so frequently as the past months it is not surprising that a real effort is to be made ito change or do away with the com- ' mission. i - ~ • ______o _____ + ♦ + +♦ + + + + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦ + OF RADIO * + BIG FEATURES * +++++++++ + + + + + ♦•» SATURDAY’S RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1926 by United Pfess) Central Standard Time Throughout.

SIX WILL HANG FOR ONE MURDER Six Convicts of Illinois Penitentiary To Be Executed i For Warden’s Death Joliet, 111., Nov. 27.—(United Press) - Six convicts of Joliet penitentiary will forfeit their lives for the murder of Deputy Warden Peter Klein last May as the result of a verdict of, guilt rendered by a jury here. i In Illinois, this is a record number! of men to die for the murder of one, and so far-as could be ascertained today there is only one other case in America that parallels it.
