If you haven't the cash, you know you can select your Christmas gifts now and have them laid away. Thirty-tour more days to do your Christmas shopping. That may seem a long time but its not too long if you would take it easy. The golfing days are about over for the season but you can soon keep fit by sweeping paths and keeping the furnace going. So Lar the only signs of prosperity are the stock advances and the boosting squibs of Mr. Brisbane, neither of which can be entirely depended upon. If you study hard enough there is probably something for which you can be thankful and its almost that season of the year. Now that you have voted, your next act as a good citizen is to mail your Christmas packages early and do your < shopping as soon as you can do so 1 conveniently. Seven Hoosiers died over the weekend as the result of acidents. As usual most of them were automobile smash-ups of one kind or another, thus keeping up the average. Armistice day was celebrated today 1 as well as yesterday and the old flag flew to the breezes all over this couu- 1 try and there was no shortage of 1 breeze. 1 —— 111 Well, here we are starting all over I again, they are going to have a con- i gressional investigation of the cam- i paign funds in the senate committee, i Whats the use? The more graft, the more votes. . J—— H ' —— Republicans seem to be lucky. In most every close count this year they won out by a neck. In the first congiessional district of Pennsylvania, Janies Beck, republican, was re-elect-ed according to the official count by seventy-three votes. Candidates should remember that they must file reports of expenditures of the campaign before December 6th or within thirty days from the election and candidates who did not spend any thing must nevertheless file a statement to that effect just the same as those who went the limit. Mrs. Herbert Hoover will not make the trip to South America with her distinguished husband, probably preferring to remain here where she can hear all the nice things to be said and understand them. The president-elct expects to be quite busy on the way as well as after arriving. A Northwestern student, one of the stars of their football team and his younger brother, made the rounds of tn cabarets, took a few drinks and started out in their car. They became reckless, drove against a car of thugs and the gridiron hero was shot and perhaps fatally injured. Boys it doesn't pay any way you figure it. Seems like some folks never get old enough to learn that love is a fickle and dangerous game. Mrs. Mary Baker, 72, of Milford, Illinois, married a man who was but fortyseven. They went to Indianapolis

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Cambridge, Eng. Nov 13—(U.R>— The Cambridge Festival Theatre, as an antidote for usually critical , first night audiences, has begun to t reive draught beer without cost at its premieres. , where Mary gave her spouse her ! money, $650, to buy tickets to Ix>s 1 Angeles. He hasn't come back. ■ . I — Various cities have begun Christmas advertising, giving those who so desire, the opportunity to really plan in advance for the great holiday period. Usually we wait until two or three weeks before that date and then talk about doing our Christmas shopping early. How about snapping up a little this year? it will be so much more pleasant in every way. The Evening Star Festival, an indoor Chautauqua, under auspices of the Decatur Lions club opens tonight. It's a great program—four big evenings—if you haven't secured a ticket, get one at once and be there. You will enjoy it every mimtte and if you can't go, surely some one in the family can. Sunday petitions were signed by millions of church goers urging peace as a proper observation of Armistice day and almost at the same time the president was urging a greater navy. We ought to get together on these subjects. It we are going to have perpetual peace we don't need such a navy and if we have it certainly the powers that be haven't much faith in the peace project. Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. James Hurst who have completed fifty years of happy wedded life and who recently celebrated their Golden anniversary. They have been splendid, Christian, up-standing citizens, who devoted their lives to raising a family and to helping their community in various ways. We certainly hope they will live many years and enjoy every minute. A New York woman-sued a department store claiming that a truck had struck her son and injured him so badly that he had been made dumb. She asked for fifty thousand dollars and was on the way to obtain a verdict when the boy suddenly began talking to his mamma. The case was thrown out of court and the woman, a Mrs. Anna Freidmau arrested on a perjury charge. They do take long chances these days. The new farm bill is to be introduced next month but so far we haven't heard just what there is about it that will help a single farmer of the middle west. Looks from here as though it was just an agreement of the leaders to drop it from politics but we are sincerely hoping that they have found something that will revive the greatest business in the world so far as the production of new wealth is concerned. If they don't, there will be a lot of sad people in this land of ours. Down in Terre Haute the members of the Sincere Baptist church have their own ideas of how to settle matters and if they are any thing they are what the name implies—sincere. They are colored folks and when an argument came up as to whether the pastor. Rev. Obediah Thompson should move on to other fields, it got real nasty and the brethren started to come to church with razors, revolvers and guns. Sunday when Rev. Thompson appeared in the door, the fuss got started good and when it wound up, the minister was dead, two or three in the hospital and twelve in the police station. President Coolidge is one of the few presidents of recent years who if his present health is a criterion, will not leave the White House broken in health. His only ailment is “rose fevar" which he surely did not contract in Washington the past few years. It is said to be a form of hay fever which causes its victim to suffer in the spring instead of the fall. The World War cost thirty-seven

What other argument ,1s necessary that war is expensive and foolish and rarely necessary. ■ ■ o • TWENTY YEARS AGO • * * From ths Dally Democrat File • . • Twenty Years Ago Todsy • 1 Nov. 13 —This Is Friday the 13th.

These often enclose '• photographs. . .Significant as is the South American I trip, the Hoover entourage will be comparatively small. About forty persons will be in the party, including the president-elect. i Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to i Italy, who has been delegated to repi resent President Coolidge, will have , with him a handful of state department attaches with whom Hoover will advise. At the president-elect's beck and cull will be several assistants, headed by George Akerson. The newspaper and photograph contingent will include about fifteen. The South American sea voyage will take about 26 days, twelve on the southward trip and about fourteen on the northward return. The first stop will be at Balboa, where Hoover will inspect the Panama can al. The complete itinerary, which includes stops at Valparaiso and Santiago, Chile, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay, Diode Janeiro, B.azil, Mexico City and Havana. Cuba, will be announced later, probably by the slate department at Washington. Hoover is considering landing in Florida, either at Key West or Miami and proceeding through the south on his return to Washington instead of returning byway of Hampton Roads or New York.
