Local merchants report a big Saturday, there were many people in j town and trade was excellent. The 1 Decatur stores have the finest stocks at the best prices In years dnd de- , 1 serve the splendid patronage they are receiving. You may not have shopped early I but that's no reason why you should | not go ahead with your Christmas buying just as though you had. This J is the week for winding up your purchase of gifts for the loved ones and the Decatur stores have a wonderful selection for you and at right prices , I Come right in tomorrow and do it. The modern bandit is so American that he believes in keeping up-to-date and in season. During the past few l< days several cases have been reported over the country in which the hold-up j artist is wearing a Santa Claus mask, g Better not get too friendly with every gny who thus poses. The village of Milo, Maine, with a ' population of 3,500, boasts of eight * couple who have celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary and they s claim it is due to tolerance, patience, thoughtfulness, kindness and co-oper- 1 ation, omitting the main reason — good health and strong constitutions. - —$ The state highway commission arcstill including the appropriation for i this county iii their budget with the < hope that the easements can be secured. They don't understand how j any community will allow the opporlunity to pass, lul in most eases frticVyj are petitioned to do just what they )j are offering to do here. Will we pass * It up or make good? , * Its time for all Good Fellows to get j - together and see .that the fund for < buying *Christmas gifts for the poor < kiddies of this community is taken care of. Time is about up and the , Delta Theta Tau ladies who are in * . charge of this important duty for this \ week are only busy with their plans. They can use a few more dollars. Won’t you drop some iu? They will ' appreciate It. / Henry Ford is raising the “dickens" these days because of the “dollar down and a dollar now and then plan” so popular and says the time is near when we will have to call these installment purchases plain every day debts. Perhaps so, hut when ever we quit it there is going to be a considerable slowing up in business and it will scarcely take five days a week to meet the necessary production. If you have overlooked purchasing Christmas Seals be sure to get them for your Christmas packages. They cost a penny each and the money is used to fight tuberculosis in Indiana. During the past twenty years this* disease has been fought consistently and with the result that the deaths from this source are but half now what they were two decades ago. Let the good work go on and by buying stamps you can help the fight. Den/ocratic leaders, newspaper men, members-elcct of the coming legislature and district committeemen artin session iu Indianapolis today to agree upon a program in the coming S legislature. While the democrats will be in the minority they have h very important part to play. They Will

That hiay work over there but iu tills counI try its entirely to slow a game to in-1 1 terest our sports who demand action , and plenty of it. Waiting for a 1 wlilskwr to grow would scarcely satisfy the hundred thousand who Jam !iu football stadiums or u prize tight field and we doubt if even the afternoon bridge players would get much “kick" out of it. According to the most authentic reports from Indianapolis, the coming session of the legislature is to be one | of investigtaions. It is said that the j sensational statements and reports! j made just before the reeent election are as pebbles compared to boulders’ as to what will come. Thomas H.
