Fifth Atenne New At this time of year when the roads are slippery and dangerous its a mighty good thing to briddle your desire to see how fast the car will travel. Attend the band concert at the 1 high school auditorium Thursday night. Helps the youngsters and encourages them. I Be a booster for the Junior Band. Its a fine organization and deserves your support. Their first concert is Thursday night of this week and the admission only twenty-five cents. If this community will buy 300,000 Christmas seals and provide a 3300 to 3500 fund for the poor children’s Christmas we will feel that we have done pretty well. Some of us can remember when you could buy gasoline for about a nickel a gallon and now they are talking about increasing the tax to that amount. Wonder how high they would have to make it before the public would be convinced that they are being “milked” tp a finish? We don’t know what Rielly and' Goldstine and Newhouse were doing in Berne or what they intended to do but its a cinch they were there for no good purpose or the two men who walked into Decatur Thursday morning would not have immediately pulled their guns and started action.

evidently were of guilty conscience and thought the “bulls" as they called the officers, had something on them. The late general election in our Country shows that political leader-. ship in--national and state affairs is Tapldly being assumed by the press. I The country weekly and small town daily exercise dominant and direct leadership in building the political fortunes of individuals, and molding public sentiment on principles and ideals in public affairs. Their power is increasing, and they are rightly called the home newspaper, in towns and on the farms —The Manufacturer. The Good Fellows club is now under way and you are a member whether you know it or believe it. The membership includes every one in this community who can afford to give a penny or a dime or a dollar or more to the fund which is tb be used to provide Merry Christmas for fifty poor families. It is a united effort and if properly supported will take care of all the little boys and girls who will not otherwise be visited by Santa. Telephone girls over the United States answer more than seventy million calls daily. There are 6,000 offices and 167,000 employes in these central stations, a gigantic and a mighty important part of industrial and social affairs in this nation. They have their problems, many of them for it cannot be otherwise in such an organization. They may not be perfect but they are human and they deserve your cooperation and your courteous help in continuing American telephone service, the finest to be found any where in the world. The Decatur Junior band is a real organization and has been organized through efforts of Mr. Worthman, Mr. Krick and others during the past year. Parents have paid for instruments and music and the boys have proven that the investment has been worth making. Recently suits were . purchased for the boys at a cost of ; about 3450, adding to appearance ana > these suits must be paid for. To meet ■ | the expense a series of concerts has i been arranged, the first to be held ■' Thursday night of this week at the ' high school auditorium. Admission is but twenty-five cents and the money

will b»- used towards paying for the ; suits. Its a worthy cause and we urge you to attend, knowing you will get more than your moneys worth. i In 1916, there were apparently 277,--000 miles of surfaced roads in the ( rentire country, only a small percent- , age of which were of types now re- • garded as adequate for motor vehicle ' traffic. Today the mileage of surfaced roads is almost twice as great, and more thah 100,000 miles are improved with higher types of surfacing i than water-bound macadam. Ten years ago there were only five states which had even a single improved trans-state highway, said Secretary Jardine in a recent address. Many thousands of miles of bituminous pavement throughout the rural dis- ■ tricta, show that engineers are awakening te the possibility of using city type pavement on country roads, where minimum construction and maintenance costs are essential and where oldroad base must be salvaged. .A rural, or sparsely settled section of the country is dependent upon its •highways, and these highways must function tte entire year. The country understands this need, and the question of the type, cost of construction and modern road machinery to save labor, calls for intensive thought. “ | By every method known to the art of politics, proponents of various measures sought to fool, browbeat or inveigle the voters into adopting experimental schemes, in recent elec- . tions in many states. Two outstand- j ■ ing instances were the Housewives’ Hydroelectric bill in Oregon, and the , so-called Water and Power aet in California. Both of these measures provided for public development of I hydroelectric power. In California, 1 the same measure has been on the . ballot for three successive elections L and at each election it has been defeated by an increasing ratio of voters ■ —this time nearly three to one. In i Oregon, the Housewives' measure was ? snowed under about four to one. f These decisive and continuous dei feats may not stop the proponents of t such socialistic experiments from ins Dieting them on the helpless voters 1 at succeeding elections. But the diss crimination which the public shows in s weeding these measures out of the f number on which they have to pass.
