Crime is costing this country ten billion dollars a year and so far we haven't heard any complaints that we ate not getting our moneys worth. About all the lame ducks who are expecting jobs from President Hoover can do the next couple of months is to stand on the sho;e and look wistfully towards South America. Those two Liberty Center girls who insist on running away from home, sleeping in hay mows and worrying the police in a dozen towns, should be given a spanking that would make them ashamed of thus bothering folks. Over in Germany they are erecting a monument to Baron Munchausen who became famous because of the fact he could tell the biggest fake stories. They can't build one in this country betause there are so many good liars, its impossible to pick out the best one. — Community auction sales are helpful for they enliven every body, bring customers a long distance, give the. people a chance to buy or sell on open market and help circulate money. They have been revived here and will be held each two weeks beginning Saturday, December Ist. Mrs. Hoover has decided to accompany her husband, the presidentelect, on his trip to South America. She will no doubt enjoy it as much as any one and it will save her much anxiety that she would no doubt have felt if she tad remained in this country as had been previously announced. Governor Jackson will move from the governors mansion to his new farm near Allisonville in January. He expects to operate the farm and practice some law. He will not walk to and from the city as he has been doing while governor but may again go into the riding horse business. He just loves good saddles horses. There are two or three small manufacturing concerns in Decatur which if properly encouraged and supported would grow into real institutions, whicit would benefit the community in many ways. A small concern, properly managed is a safe business to get back of and there shoud be no hesitency. One of the outstanding football game of the year will be the battle at South Bend next Saturday between the fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the unbeaten engineers from Carnegie Tech. Each team is out to win and you will get a great thrill if you button up your heavy overcoat and go over and see this one. The leming legislature will be ask,ed to appropriate a half million dollars with which to build additions to the prisons of this state. That's not very good evidence that we are getting better in this country and the sad part of it is that the same thing is prevalent in the other states. The nuinbei of prisoners in Indiana is double what it was in 1913. We hear much talk about the large vote cast in the recent election and it was the greatest ever cast but uow edme the figures showing that after

I entitled to suffrage went to the polls * There seems to be something wrong 1 with a nation which after a campalg’. I I like the one this year is still so little 1 interested that but half vote. George M. T. Houck, for seventyfive years a resident of this county, has passed to his final reward. He was a pioneer of the old fashioned kind. He helped to clear this country and he was always a progressive, industrious, thoughtful citizen, doing his part to help make this a better community in which to live and doing it conscientiously and the very best he could. He had a large circle of friends who will mourn his death. Ten Americans had an income of five million dollars last year and about ' three hundred had incomes of a mil- , lion each. They are the men also it may be added who operate this country and who tell us when to jump through the hoops and we all jump and its getting jumpier each year. No other country in the world, however, ever produced so many rich men and no other country still offers as golden opportunity to the youth A fellow has to hustle but he can do it if he is wise enough and can hold * out. Its worth the trial. The snow clouds gathering ’in the northwest, with their dull grey col oi s and fringes of white, indicate that we are just at the opening of the winter season. Thanksgiving is but I two weeks away and Christmas just a month later. Its time to huddle in and talk about plans for next year. ■ What will we do here besides growl and grumble? Shall we expand and be prosperous or sit still and watch the procession of progiess march byus? We hope enough pep is developed that we can go forward not by slow steps but in leaps and bounds. That's the way to be happy. Rodney Dutcher writes from Washington that the' next session of congress ought to be a fairly stormy one. The presidential campaign, he says, has left soreness in a good many congressional breasts, and a good bit of this soreness is due to be aired on the floor of congress. Various senators I and congressmen will stand up and say exactly what they think about various men and issues. In addition to providing plenty of worth-while entertainment, this ought to be all for the public good. Politicians do not always speak with the frankness and fervor to which a waiting country is entitled. If the stings of a hot campaign induce them to do so, so much the better. We may learn something. —Frankfort Times. Replying to a letter asking for clemency for a person who had been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for operating an automobile while intoxicated, Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia wrote that to date he has not acted favorably on an application I of this kind and will not "either set I aside the jail sentence or any part, j or restore the permit to drive, which, under the law, is taken away for one year.” That is an example that should be followed by judges, pardoning and paroling authorities everywhere. As Governor Byrd says, there is no more effective way of impressing upon the people the seriousness of drunken driving than to let the public realize that if they are apprehended and convicted there is no way of escaping the punishment as fixed by the law. He practices what he preaches. — Trenton Times. 1 OUTWIT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE s DIZZINESSS, FATIGUE Avoid paralysis and disease In advanced years. Do it with San Yak . Pills for the kidneys.

According to the postmaster gonerI al's office, the smaller cards and envoi pes cannot be run through the cani celling machines which makes It necessary to void each stamp by hand. This not only wastes time, but results in delivery delays, the postal officials state Tho small envelope or card Is frequently so small that when the stamp has been camelled, the address is obliterated, and they arc ids > difficult for the postmnn to handle as they ; cannot be bundled like standard pieces of mail. The postoffice department has ohI tained the eoo[>eratf n of greeting card manufncluiors and dealers, but as those are many small independent disI H Unitors of cards, the roll soln-' lion rests with the public that buys i and sends the greetings, the postoffice | authorities have found.
