While the mercury tumbled forty to fifty degrees, the clouds rolled away aud Sunday was really a Very comfortable day. v The foot ball dope bucket was sure upset Saturday when Yale beat Princeton, the Army took Notre Dame and Indiana defeated Northwestern with apparent ease. You can't always, sometimes tel). Twenty-one federal officers arrived in Muncie Saturday without warning and began serving warrants on sixty men who have violated the liquor laws. They tried to get under cover but the men had visited the places previously and had them with the goods on them. At that they probably didn't get them all. Traffic rules seem to have been fairly well observed in Decatur over the week end. Its uot only the right thing tor every one to do but the only sensible thing, since not to do so is to invite punishment in court. If we do not intend to observe these ordinances they should be repealed for it is uot right that part of the people do so while others do not. Do you realize that Christmas Is only about six weeks away? Its a fact and if you are going to be ready for it begin to plan now. The Decatur stores are filled 'with articles which will please any body who receives them, that can be bought at the very lowest prices and with guarantees of reliable merchants back of them. Its time to look around. Quite a howl is going up because L. Ert Slack, the new mayor of Indianapolis is appointing democrats to the various jobs of importance there. Yet thats perhaps tlie only way he can get any where. If he desires to make a record as chief executive of his city he must be surrounded by men who are friendly to his ideas. Why not give him a chance before criticizing? An election is not a game, Editor Fred Rohrer to the contrary not withstanding and young men should not enter it with that idea in their minds. It seems that some play it that way but elections should be occasions for the free expresion of the people. It is the only method by which you can select men to serve you and adopt policies to direct'those men. The annual roll call for Red Cross members is on and it would be fine if we broke all records for membership this year. Why not?' Its a great cause and every one who can spare a dollar should belong to this organization whose only desire is to aid when aid is necessary. In a country of more than twenty thousand population it looks like it ought to be easy to get a thousand or two members. Colonel Lindbergh, who was ordered to report at Selfridge Field for further training and instructions seems to have absorbed the lessons in a very apt manner. He got there Friday and Saturday flew to Mitchell Field, New York, a distance of six hundred miles in a little over three hours. A lot of people doubt whether the teachers can teach this lad very

members.

I much in the flying game. It might bt ’ well to turn his orders around. France and America have agreed on the tariff charges, which adds to * the belief that sooner or later they t will likewise agree on what France owes us and when it is to be paid. ' This country objected to France charging higher duties for American j goods than for the same lines from ) other countries, notably Germany. It J takes ;i lot of nerve for the United j States to complain about the duties > charged under tariff laws of any ] other nation, after what we have done in the past, but nerve is one commodity we have plenty of. It seems. The Chicago Drover’s Journal of November 11th contained the account of the sale of the H. F. Adams farm, 320 acres near Castleton, Illinois, to George Merna for SBO,OOO cash or $250 per acre. The farm was of course one of the good ones in that section with two sets of buildings but nevertheless is evidence that there are still some wise people who have confidence in the future for good land. A coincident Is the fact that on this farm some twenty years ago Colonel Fred Reppert conducted his first successful sale of consequence * away from home. There is no question but that this Is the time to buy farms. They will double in value within a short time. Just watch and see it this prediction doesn't come true. Railroad tracks are for trains and highways are for motorists. Trains' are just a little heavier and mightier than automobiles, which is to the point that when trains and automobile meet, the train comes out best 99 per cent, of the time. Trains are hard to stop ami automobiles are easy, which is to the point that when highways cross tracks, automobiles should stop. “When a man goes upon a railroad track, he knows he goes to a place where he knows he will be killed if a train comes upon him before he Is clear of the track. He knows he must stop for the train, not the train for him. Iu such circumstances, it seems to us that if a driver can not be sure otherwise whether a train is dangerously near he must stop and get out of his vehicle, although obviously he will not often be required to do more than stop and look. It seems to us that if he relies upon not hearing the train or any signal and takes no further precaution, he does so at his own risk” Those are the words of Justice Holmes of the United States supreme court, applying to a man's suit for redress because his automobile was demolished by a train. There is no logic in rushing across a railroad track. There is no sense in not stopping and taking every preauQpn to avoid being struck by a train. There is only a world of laziness —and criminal recklessness. A grade crossing is a rendezvous with death. There is always a train coming.—Marion Chronicle. — c *¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 15¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ 15 MONDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1927 by United Press) WEAF. hook-up, 8:30 p. m.—“ Family Party”; Orchestra conducted by William Mengelberg; Louis Graveure, baritone; "The Virginia Judge”; Marie Cahill; The Goldman Band.

PUBLIC BUILDING : BILL IS FAVORED y _ . Congress Expected To Appropriate $20,000,000 For Federal Buildings 11 Washington. Nov. 14.—(INS) —Cont gress will make a Christmas present 1 to 137 cities throughout the country s of a $20,000,000 appropriation bill for new public buildings, additions or V sites, under plans being formulated by Republican leaders of the house. s This appropriation, which passed the house and was lost in the senate at the last session, will be included In the flrt deficiency bill, to be taken t up soon after the house convenes on t December 5. Rep. Martin B. Madden. (R) of Illinois, chairman of the house ’ appropriations committee, announced > today. He predicted passage before I the Christmas holidays). With this measure out of the way, house leaders, who must inaugurate 1 public building legislation will begin . work upon a public building program for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1928. Rep. Richard N. Elliott, (R) of Indiana, chairman of the house public buildings committee, said he vould reintroduce his bill which raises the annual limit of expenditure upon new buildings from $25.000,000 to $35,000,000. With existing legislation providing $10,000,000 a year for expenditures in the District of Columbia, the purpose of the bill is to increase the amount which may be expended outside tht district by this amount. Although there have been reports that the administration would request that this increase; be postponed icned by failure of the $20,000,000 a year, in view of the tlMay occasion last session. Rep. Elliott believes lhat congress will insist upon the full pub’ic building program. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ¥ ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Nov. 14.—The Decatur Produce company is shipping 1,200 dressed chickens a day.

La, Nov. 14—(UP) One of America’s most''peculiar murder trials was scheduled to begin here today, with Ed Payton, a negro leper, as the defendant. Payton is charged with the murder of Lloyd Richaids, a fellow inmate iu the federal leprosarium at Carrvlll, La. The popular dread and supeistilions of leprosy have become the central figures in the trial. Authorities were admittedly skeptical as to whether citizens could be induced to sit on a jury where the defendant was a leper and ten of the witnesses were afflicted with the disease. Dr. O. E. Denny, in charge of the Leprosarium, attempted to put these fears at rest with a statement iu which he said "the danger of contracting the disease in the courtroom is nil.” “Leprosy is contagious througli constant contact or association such as living in the same house yith a leper for a period of years. However there was much skepticism as to whether jurors would adopt the scientific attitude. It was remarked the government might bring Payton into cdturt iu fs glass cage, but this was not considered piobable since the ten witnesses who are lepers could not be enclosed. According to Dr. Denny, Payton has ten or twelve yeais to live at most. It was charged Payton shot Richards . to death "without provocation.” . - o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays ■ Drainage is a good ft s H permanent investment || al and when completed || ||| will return to the farmer ■ j ■ a high rate of interest. fl & The ■ Krick-Tyndal Co. | ■ i I in—--—
