Its too late to shop early but its by I no means to late to shop. You will find the most acceptable gifts at dip lowest prices in the Decatur stores. Take a look and be convinced and do it at once. It should be interesting to know that the sixteen acres on which the White House stands at Washington was purchased for $1,600 originally and is now estimated to be worth >10,500,000. It was a little snappy last evening, the mercury hovering right around zero, but the indications are for a let up and by tomorrow you will be *’>le to let up a little on shoveling r coal according to the weather bureau. lie a Good Fellow. Help the Delta Theta Tau sorority provide a real Christmas for the poor kiddies. The fund is about fifty dollars ahead of last year, $1’3.19 last evening, as compared to $128.49 a year ago. Thats doing tine and we should keep it up. Lets make it $250 by Saturday night That’s a fine goal to shoot at. We hope you are not tired of us calling your attention to the Christmas seals for we just must keep talking about it for the next week.

Surely’ you will spend a few pennies for such a cause. We favor any laws which make elections simple, honest and will give the ’right of franchise to the greatest number but we do not see any advantage to the primary while there are numberless disadvantages. There are fifteen hundred thousand eligible voters in Indiana and to send each one of them one letter it is estimated would cost more than fifty thousand dollars. Thats just a start on a political campaign but that item alone prevents most citizens from being candidates. The question of repeal-

He is Charles Summer Ashley, who has just! been elected mayor for a twenty-third term. Five years ago Ashley retired from politics and announced, that he did not desire further honors. This year while he was in a hospital, recovering from an operation and every one conceded that Edward R.-Hath-away would be re-elected mayor without opposition, friends got busy and started a boom for Ashley. Stickers had to be printed to attach to the regular ballot. He was elected by a large majority. The veteran mayorelect is sixty-eight years of age. He has appeared before the voters twentyseven times and met defeat twice. So high is the esteem for Ashley that the town business men a few years ago, after he had accepted the office against his wishes, made him a Christmas present of 512,000 in cash, and two years ago when he and his daughter left on a tour around the world, citizens met him at the pier and gave him $3,000 for spending inoeny on the ♦rip.
