Its almost lonesome without Lindy. Wish he would give our regards to old Mexico and come on back. Tomorrow is Sunday, the last before Christmas eve and the spirit of this glad season will prevail in every church. Your presence will aid the pastor to aid his community. This is fine Christmas temperature, the mercury registering thirteen above zero this morning. A little snow now and everybody will be in just the right spirit for Christmas and its only a week off. We might elect Lindy to be the next Santa Claus. He is the only fellow we know of who could begin to cover the world territory iu one night and then he seems to have just about the right kind of a disposition. What we can't figure out is just what those four United States senators were to do to earn the $1,215,000 that President Calles was supposed to pay them. Thats entirely too much money for an honest senator or < ven four of them to have. i By the way, this is a poor time to ignore the traffic ordinances. Wo notice that, some of the drivers are again forgetting the stop signs and it may be necessary for the police to remind them by bringing them into court. Better be careful. The total count of names iu the new Decatur directory is 5,347 and as several omissions have been noted it is assured the total population of Decatur i> about 5,500. a good town witli everybody happy and working and opportunities for future growth exceedingly bright. > By the way. what lias become of Huth Elder? Don't seem possible that a beautiful young lady who received so much fame in, a few weeks could drop so completely out of the picture j just because she signed a SIOO,OOO contract. Iu this country we lose | track of them when they commercialize their popularity. Lindy is still a 1 great fellow because he was wise enough to head off the show people. Considerable objections are being offered because Mayor Slack, of Indianapolis, is appointing democrats to | fill the jobs. If they are capable and efficient that complaint surely comes only from the hide-bound partisans. At least they should make a much better record than have tl)c republicans who have held the jobs for several years. They can't possibly do worse. We Congratulate the Tattler staff on the Christmas number just off the presses. Ii is splendidly edited tn each department and the editorials show a broad and clear vision of affairsMjf interest, it is splendid training in a business way as well as in the editing line and we are sure the time thus devoted has been worth while. The 1927 Christmas number will please those who buy it and shuttle! be a great satisfaction to the teachers ami the students. . t . r— The survey of the road between this city and Kort Wayne, from the Adains-Alhn line to Fort Wayne, state and federal highway number twenty-seven. is now being made, pursuant to the improvement of the

’ road next year Thatz fine and in f the meantime the road is being Im proved between Monroe and Berne I Within a short time, a year or two. the route will bo entirely hardsurfac J’ ed through this county and the road it will then become one of the most exr tensive traveled In the middle west Whether the Allen county road will i be concrete or tarvia has not been 2 officially announced but anyway it 0 will be a dustless highway that can ® be travelled the year around. 5 0 5 The present season is auspicious to ® charity and good will. Our thoughts and affections are pledged for a while to a common interest, in preparation for a festival whose sacred meaning and joyful observance are wide enough to include all mankind. We find out again, and perhaps 41th some surprise, that we are brothers and sisters under the skin and we are willing and eager to forget for a season the small jealousies and ank tagonisms that divide us sometimes ' throughout the year. The grand name of charity deserves to be freed of its faint disfavor of sentimentality or r careless and casual generosity. True ’ charity is good will toward the good > in others and it serves best in the j partnership of intelligent knowledge. We cannot love the things that we do • not know and to understand our neigh_ 1 bor in his hopes and purposes is first ' essential to help him in his need. 1 The old proverb insisted that charity 1 begins at home, but this is no sign that it should stop there. Wider knowledge has made the whole world kin and leaches us daily that our common humanity knows no boundaries. The season of good will, established twenty centuries ago in a village in Palestine, encompasses now the world and its nations and dojps more for the peace and unity of man kind than any institutions of our own fashioning. For knowledge is now increased, and it is knowledge that leads to understanding, which is the backbone of charity and the sure foundation of good will. —Logansport j Press. o—- ♦ ¥¥¥¥¥*♦¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR 4 * 10 YEARS AGO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* German troops are transferred fron the Russian ,to the western front, following signing of the Russo-Germat armistice.

•Vright Players to Produce Fantastic Play Preliminary To New York Showing., The Wright Players have made the ateresting aitiouncement that on hiuday. Dec. ISth, they will give the irst production of a new play which ill shortly be presented in New 'ork. It is by Harold Heaton whose cting with the Wright Players has aused much favorable comment. Summing up the theme of the play e wrote: "If you could live your lifer—or >art of it —over again, what would ou do? The same things you did efpre? Or would you act differenty as the incidents of life presented hemsehTs? Has a man much choice n what he does? Or is he controlld by circumstances, habit, the judgement of the moment, of impulse? "In ‘His Second Chance’ Beverly Delavan, a small-town bank clerk, at ifty. thinks he’d do everything quite lifferently if he could go back — Does he? “He insists on taking his experence—what he says he has learned rom the years—back; with him. Os tourse that is not a fair test —but let him! And the question arises—does i n.an learn anything from his experence? And which is better—which nakes a mat happier and more use’u'.—the ideals —the dreams he begins with or the wot Idly wisdom he hinks he acquires as he grows old? "Beverly Delavan, in ‘His Second Hhauce’ has a chance to inquire into these things. Jis life is only one man's life —but there are many men .ike him."—lt advt.
