We told you so, the first snow of the season came this morning. “Married men earn more than bachelors" says one of these advising writers. You bet he does, he has to. The days are slipping by and it will soon be time to do your Christmas shopping early. The New York weather bureau has a record of more than fifty years and strange as it may seem to you these I records disclose that in all that time! not two days have had the same weather. No wonder we guess and gamble on it. Please (Jon't’ run the stop signals. That's a request for your good as well as that of the public. The police ; have b< eii ordered to arrest those!; who do it. They don't want to do it', but they must to protect the pedstrian and drivers who do obey the laws. Monday is the final day for paying 1 your fall installment of taxes. Its always a hard old job but you might I' as well smile when you do it. Taxes I will continue to be a burden so long as we petition for improvements and who wants to live in a <ouuty;which doesn’t have good roads, schools and the other improvements? It has been decided that theater performances from Broadway, New York, will be broadcast this season. 1 Microphones are to placed so you can , hear the actors no difference how they move about the stage. Pret’y J soft nowadays, we can sit in our easy chair, smoke our pipe ami ztiil attend a show on the Great White Way Those who have attended the Evening Star Festival are glad that the Lions Club has arranged for a similar event next autumn. The program 'has been a very splendid one throughout and pleased all who attended. If • the high standard is maintained the plan seems to meet approval of those who gain pleasure from such lectures,’ concerts and musical entertainments. Celina, Portland and other cities in this section are making an effort io land industries and at least to some extent are succeeding. Many industries, loaded down with overhead, labor difficulties and high tax and power rat's are seeking locations in smaller cities where conditions are favorable. We believe that either a circular or newspaper or magazine campaign would brings results for Decatur. Mother love is a wonderful thing. O. O. Mclntyre tells of a child that fell before an approaching street carl in New York. The mother rushed into! the car's path and swooped the child to safety while the frightened onlookers turned away in paralyzing agony, x Reaching the curb, the mother turned the child over her knee and spunked it soundly. Any parent will understand that. The Mason Jubilee Singers closed the four day Star Festival last evening with a concert that took the crowd by storm. The company includes four star singers and a pianist, the best colored troupe ever heard here. The program included southern songs, readings, new- hits and piano specialties. Every number,

| "Carry Me Hack to Old Virginie." "Old Black Joe," the medleys and all the others were beautifully rendered. We think we have difficulties to ’ meet in cities the size of Decatur and ’ sure enough we do but they are in- , significant as compared to many which bob up in the larger cities. In New York, notwithstanding the fact that fifteen new school buildings were built this year and a thousand teachers added, thousands of children have no seat in school because the population grows faster than they can build. The school houses being built there now are Just big boxes, five to fourteen stories high, Hush with the street and not a spot where the children can play. Like everything else in the great cities the children must take their educational doses in concentrated form. Ernst J. Powell, of Missouri, who gave a half hour lecture at the festival last evening, declared that whenever eighty per cent of the people of this country are residents of a dozen leading cities as now seems the tendency, the nation is doomed. lie compared our conditions to that of Athens and said the same fate awaits us if we don’t encourage the youth to remain at home. He told the folks to trade at home and help those who help them build their schools and jihurches and parks. He declared the i average buyer can do better at home than anywhere else and pleads for a united effort to save the rural communities and the smaller towns and cities. — o — ***¥********* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * «,;»¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥* '' SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright, 1927, by United Press) WEAF. hookup. 8:15 p.m—AtwaterKent Hour: Rafaelo Diaz, tenor and John Powell, pianist.

BUY NEW HEARSE AND AMBULANCE Zwick And Myers Firm Places Beautiful New Car In Operation Here A new combination hearse and ambulance has been purchased by the Zwick and Myers’furniture and under, taking firm of this city and has already been placed in service. The bod.' of the car is mounted on an Auburn Straight Eight chasis. The car is beautifully finished and the Interior is finished in grey plush upholstering and fine appointments. The combination hearse and ambulance is one of the newest models in this line of cars. When used as an ambulance, a cot is placed inside of the' car. There are two small upholstered seats on one side, which permits relatives or a physical! to accompany tile patient in the car. The cot and auxiliary seats can be taken out when a casket is to be placed in the car, although there is room enough for a casket with the two seats in the car. A special flower tack is arranged in the car, which can also be removed. The special hearse and ambulance was received from the Knightstown Hearse and Ambulance company. A driver's seat, large enough for two persons, is separated from the rest of the car. The hearse is mounted on balloon tires and Mr. Zwick stated that the engine could be throttled down to two miles an hour or run at a speed of 100 miles an hour. The car has special headlights, making travel at night safe and convenient. Messis. Zwick ami Myers announce that they will be glad to answer calls day or night and that the new hearse and ambulance was purchased and added to their equipment in order to render the same kind of satisfactory and personal service in- time of need as the firm had given for the past 25 years.
