Spend one dollar lor the Red Cross annual Roll Call, Join the Red Cross. The money thus raised is spent to spread mercy and charity and assistance to those in dire distress. It looks a little as though AttorneyGeneral Gilliom himself will be the most disappointed man in the state if the Adams county grand jury fails to indi.’t him. Yep, it pays to advertise. Recause of past experience we expect the last of November to be bleak and blustery and filled with snow, clouds and freezing weather of one kind or another but here are days that no month need be ashamed to have included in its calendar. With ten or twelve million sixtyfive mile an hour Fords on the road a year from now in addition to the twenty-five million or more now dodging each other, we may have to build our bungalows in the tops of the tall trees and take chance on being knocked off by an airplane. We are satisfied that there is plenty of enthusiasm for an Old Home Week celebration in Decatur. The organization will be complete*! before the first of the year and then it depends on'.y on financing the jnovement to put it over big. Tliats the only way to do it by the way. It must be a real show or none. The statement by Dr. Shumaker that in the old days there were 25,000,000 steady drinkers and that now there are but one million is interesting if true, but we wonder how the learned doctor gets his information for we never heard of such a census being taken and based upon violations of liquor laws the present estimate would seem rather low. Efforts to have the state highway commission build a bridge over the Ohio river at Evansville will he resisted and wtili much good argument if the people understand that the cost will equal that of paving a hundred miles of road, badly needed in every section of the state. The Chapman plan to finance the bridge and permit it to pay out in tolls during the next eight years would seem to the averag" person much fairer and speedier. Try it, say something good about the other fellow. He is probably the finest kind of a man if you kuew him as well as you know yourself. Anyway there is nothing that makes a community so good as to have everybody boosting it. It has built Los Angeles, it has made Detroit. It will help every community, laige or small. When a stranger asks you about Adams county, tell him we have the finest farm lands to be found anywhere and that the purchase of one of them is the best life insurance policy he can invest in. Thats the truth and if everybody talks it, the return to honest prices will be speedier. •' -■!' - . Macaroni, radio wizard, thus compares the field of radio and newspapers: "The newspaper has this distinct advantage: It is a record. You cannot paste radio announcements iu a scrapbook; newspapers put the news down In black and white. Ot course, the radio lias its advantages. A radio impulse can travel around the world

In one seventh of a second, and can 1 f ’ be transmitted almost Instantaneously.” The newspaper cannot give the J j world the splendid musical programs •available through the radio; but the 1 • press, he feels, will always be the big power In the world for expressing opinion by rulers and statesmen, and - • for the big events of news. While the 1 famous inventor does not exactly say ( It, the presß Is original and conatrucJ five instead of being largely u re pea tl lng agency. ;j Running a city or a town is like! i | i running a hank or any other kind of 1 business. Success depends upon cb-1 operation. Every person who pulls hack iu any way retards the progress i of any community. Whenever there; Is a group of human beings, whether it he in business, in fraternal circles, j in schools or In a community, there will be workers — and there will bei

drones. Civilization has made it Impossible to kill off the drones, so it falls hack on the workers to eliminate their shortcomings with renewed efforts and added vigor. Today is an age of competition. Towns and cities are no less competitive than is any j business. Visitors bi JIl ES TIIARA firms, new Industries, new lines of progress. Visitors, looking for new fields of endeavor, will first look at the natives and their work—and their first impressions will be lasting ones. No community can reach the goal It seeks without every individual, who helps to make up the whole, doing his l>art. It takes two pulls forward to) compete with one backward. And j 1 there is no halfway post to he considered. Due must either boost his town or city and work toward its betterment, or he must be considered against it. Wholehearted support : • should he giveu all matters pertaiu- - ing to cjvic advancement. All can not he leaders, hut every ounce of effort put back of desirable movements will be an added help iu tbeir accomplish- > ment. Iu a like manner, lack of cooperation or indifference will be as big a drawback as actual opposition. Progress has ever depended upon those who can aud do build —it doesn't take a strong man to tear down. ************* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * * * From the Daily Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Today * ************* Nov. 29—" Mrs. Wiggs of the cab- ! base patch” was big success.

I ~ . " Sure a Star Is - Made By AD SCHUSTER (Cupyrliht.l U A LL GOOD football player* are i\ born With It In them. It’* the job of the coach, or somebody else, to bring It out." Conch Lund wns In one of his rare , talkative moods mid the training table crowd settled hack for a story. “Did you ever hear of Carter Hall? Course Dot, ’cause that's Just the name Fin using for one of the best ends the old school ever had. Well, ha came to college without ever knowing lie had the makings of a football player and worse yet, there wasn’t a coach or a trainer who could discover anything like talent In' his looks. It took a girl—a girl we'll cull Maizle —to turn | the trick." This Carter Hall wns a studious bird and a bit backward about volun teering where lie might not he wanted. His head was so full of his studies and this girl Malide that he never gave a thought to the team or his making it. Somehow, he couldn’t see himself plnying football. It was hard work, and most likely, out of his line. Hall had never met Maizle. Like n lot of other fresh men he knew she wns the real queen of the campus and wns imping to get the chance to tip his hat when she sailed by. \Y hy that kid would rather have had a smile from her than a letter on his Jersey. He was completely submerged, Just coming up for air often enough to say “present” in classroom*. And ail the time lie was packing around Inside his college outs the muscles of the greatest end —but I said that before. One day Hall almost bumped Into Muizie. She was standing in front of the varsity captain and looking up to his face all full of admiration and soft soap, you know, like a cat what sees a plate of chicken on the window sill. “Oh. Hubert,” Hall heard tier say. “do you know there Is nothing 1 adore so much as athletic prowess. I like my friends, my men friends, to be -big and strong, to play the game bravely and clean." I have an idea those were her very words. After that Carter Hall showed up for football practice nnd dug In like he was after an all-America position. Course tie was raw at first, but he had *peed, could handle forward passes as easy ns swatting (lies, nnd had the natural head for finding away out when the signaled pluy went wrong. There was no bumping into a stone wall for that kid. If, the line didn’t make a hole, he found one. They put him on the scrubs, then the s«cond team, and he tore through the varsity every time he was pulled back and given the hall. You ought to see him sprint down on the punts and you ought to see the way he turned up in the fur places to catch n pass. Soy, if 1 had a couple of fellows like Carter Hall on this team it would be a cinch. To get back to Maizle and the game. Hall was kept on the training tab!-: and didn't get much chance for fussing around In the social life. That's why lie couldn’t meet the girl, but he didn't care. Told himself he would make his letter first. When he was a football player starring in the big games she .would ask to meet him. He knew the kind of men she liked and he wns going to pattern himself according. “Weli, lie did. He made the first team nnd if I told you his real name you wouid know how he carried the ball over for the only touchdown In the big game. You'd know him all right. Waiter Camp knows him and there isn't n big newspaper but hasn't hi* cut somewhere back In the files of a few years ago. When the last game was over he kuew lie was Mntzle's kind. It would he ail right to speak to her now, he figured, even if there wns no bothersome bird around to introduce them. Football men have their privileges. He was thinking like this when he saw her. This time she was talking to a little fellow with heavy glasses and a sort of frightened rabbit look. "And do you know,” says this Malzle, “I envy you intellectual giants. My Idea of a man Is not the husky brute who wins plaudits on the football field, but the modest student who prepares for the future and arms himself mentally to serve humanity.” And she was looking jat the little fellow as If she thought he was John W. Philosopher himself. “And that,” concluded Conch Lund, “Is how this here Carter Hall became a football player, it was all on ae- | count of a girl, although It took him some years to give her the credit.” After the coach had gone the bunch exchanged glances. “He as an end,” one ventured. “Yes, an<J the only end who has won a big game In fifteen years. The old boy has been talking about himself and thinks he put It over. I wonder who Mnizie was.” — Reason for Preference A Methodist minister moved witli his family from a town of 400 to 500 to one of many thousand Inhabitants. His son, age ten, could see no advajotages in moving, and stoutly Insisted thnt the smarter town was superior. “Why,” he exclaimed, “you ouglrt to i see the post office in L—. It has the one here beat a long way. There you can get anything you want —groceries aud marbles and shoes. But here at the post office all you can get is just letters aud stamps:”

Sheriffs Little Girl Discharges Tear Gas Gun Peru, Ind., Nov. 29.— (INS)—Little Elenora, seven-year old laughter of Sheriff Jerry Fager. routed ihe family from Its home in the county jutl here, with tears in iheir eyes, when she accidentally discharged her father's tear gas guu. | The child was playing with the gun, thinking it was a fountain pen, when the .32 calibre shell ot gas went 'off with a bang that startled the prisoners. The room filled with gas. Fager was called at the courthouse, and ho returned to “give the family the air." —o An Imposition “Our young son,’’ writes Mrs. J. L. I*. In Liberty, ■'hud been mowing lawns for the neighbors during hi* vacation. One da.v lie and hi* father visited tile barber shop. Upon their return, he'said: ’Why, daddy. Just think ! The barber gels 50 cents for cutting your few hairs, und I get only 50 cents for mowing a whole lawn.’ ” o — The Cause of Vice I think you will rind it true, that, before any vice can fester in a man, body, mind or moral nature must t»e debilitated. Tbe masses of fungi gather on slekl.v trees, not thriving ones; and the odious parasites which fasten on th'- human frame choose that which Is already enfeebled. — Oliver Wendell Holmes. o Buffalo Once in East Buffalos .existed east of the MissO *lpp’ river at tlie time wdien the first explorer* visited that part of the Country. Tliey were probably killed off before tbe heg titling of the Nine teentli century, for *hy 1850 none re mnined east of the dry plains. Uses of Oil on Body As 1* the case iu many warm countries. oil was used by the Jews for anointing the body, after a hath for example, and before an entertainment to give the skin and hair a smooth and comely appearance. Olive oil bad also a funeral use. The bodies of fl»e dead were anointed with oil by tbe Greeks and Romans, probably as a partial antiseptic, and a similar practice seems to have prevailed among the lews. o Mountain Tops Rome mountains have a soft clay base tappet, «- »b heavy sandstone. The cta.v becomes water-soaked through seepage and can no ionget hold up the weight. Consequently the slope of the peaks steadily “rolls down" to a less steep inclination as tbe tremors of the mountainsides shake down gravel from the tops. Meekers mountain and Golden mountain In Colorado are examples. o Fresh Water Sea Coast Fresh water can be dipped from the Atlantic ocean .'or u distance of 50 or more miles off the coast of Brazil This is due to the enormous amount of water that pours out of the mouth of the Amazon river. Sfreef of Odd Name The name of the street where the Bank of England stands was origl nally Three-Needles street. The prop erty was owned by the.Needlemakers’ company, whose arms were three needles. o Household Hint New Hampshire Barter—A cloth tied around your waist when washing cell lugs or anything overhead will prevent the water foam running down your arm. * O —— Fitting for Life Some one lias been defining the duty • of a college as fitting men and women for future problems. Education ought to do more than that Education ought to fit men and women to live to the utmost, so appreciate the better, finer things of life. To make a man efficient ought to oe only one of the results of education. FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Hair that loses its color and lustre, or whoa it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused hy a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up i mixture of Sage Tea aud Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, aud thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark ( shade of hair which is so attractive, . use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get for 75 cents, this , famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by afeking at any duig store for a bottle of "Wyetli s i Sage and Sulphur Compound”, it darkI ens the hair so uaturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has ' been applied; You just dampen i sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking oue small strand at a time. By morning the ' gray hair disappears but what delights ! the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sill--1 phur Compound is that, besides beaui tifullv darkening the hair after a fev 1 applications, it alsp brings back the I gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

This run, it is said, was made on an ordinary ’paved highway near Detroit. | Local dealers, in commenting on the forthcoming show, said their first view of the new Ford car had substantiated Henry Ford's statement that "there is nothing quite like it in quality and price" "Mr. Ford’s statement had prepared us for a surprise," said a local dealer, “but the new Ford car is better even than we hail hoped for. It is certain to make history in the auiomobi'e industry, just as its predecessor, the famous Model T, has made history tor twenty years. We are proud of the new car and feel certain that its appearance and performance will attract unprecedented attention among automobile owners.” -Ita Myth About Snakes According to tlie director of the Pasteur institute ot Colombo. Ceylon, the long held Irelief that snake charm , ers can cause snakes to leave their Jungle haunts at tlie sound of music is a myth. j
