On Thanksgiving day don't forget to be thankful for this fine weather. The big question today is, which team is going to win the football game ? They’re going to bury the body of Old King Tut again and we hope this time they let the poor old fellow rest. Help yourself by helping others is an old saying and It can easily be done by joining the Red Cross. Just about the time someone asked the editor of the paper what he was going to print after the election was over, along came the Vestris ship disaster and now many could not tell you who the candidates for vice-presi-dent were. Be one of the five million Americans in the Red Cross and when disaster strikes a community you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped to relieve the suffering of the men. women and children. Your membership in the local Red Cross chapter provides this guarantee. . - ' • —————» After spending an hour or two looking over the current magazines and daily newspapers we have decided what we want for Christmas. This year, more than any previous year, there is a concerted effort on the part of retail merchants to get the Christmas shopping done early and by watching the advertisements, it's easy to make up your list. Pliny Wolford, who has served as secretary to Governor Ed Jackson, has been appointed a member of the state tax board and will take office December Ist. Jackson is taking care of his friends and he evidently has personal ambitions. The latest report is that the governor will become an evangelist after his term expires. Well Indiana needs a little more advertising and he'll be able to tell the crowd all about race horses, secret orders and the like.’ Regardless of the outcome of the investigation as to the cause of the Vestris ship disaster, the veteran captain of the ship will not have to worry. The blame can be put on him and it wil not bother him. He went down with the ship and his last moments on earth more than likely were filled with thoughts as to the outcome. From evidence obtained, it appears that someone was to blame and regarless of where it is placed, the men, women and children cannot be brought to life. — ■ Bandits yesterday held up the bank at Petroleum and got away with about a SI,OOO. These fellows seem to be able to get away with most anything these days and if once caught the limit of the law should be given to them. That banker at Ohio City, took a whale of a chance when he refused to hand over the money and although we don't like to see anyone killed, no one would have been sorry if he had plugged one of the bandits when they attempted to fob his bank. The solicitors for the Red Cross will appreciate it if ypu'll have your dollar ready when they call at your home Sunday afternoon. Remember

f TODAY’S CHUCKLE San Francisco —Nov. 17 —Appollos Ivanovich levantonyeff of Rus(la in seeking citizenship asked court permission to change bis name to "San Francisco." » that it's not a pleasant job for these I worker* to devote a whole day of their ! time la trying to get you to affiliate I with the great charitable organization J and they are doing it merely to help i humanity. Adams county is expected to have at least 1,000 members enroll this year. The canvas will be made in Decatur and other places in the country tomorrow and in case you are missed, send your dollar to local headquarters and you will be enrolled: The closing of the Farmers and Merchants State bank at Geneva is regretted. It appears to be a case of the bank suffering losses from loans and mortgages made during the high price land value period and now taking its losses. There is no shortage in the accounts of the bank, the books are in balance and its just another case of a bank in a rural district not being able to stand the gaff. Thousands of small banks throughout the country have been forced to liquidate within the past few years and the condition of the Farmers and Merchants bank is similar. President Coolidge in speaking before the National Grange, urged the farmers to engage in co-operative farm auarketing. as a means of farm relief and hjs statement on this important question is taken as a forerunner of the kind of farm relief legislation which will come up at the December session of congress. President Coolidge reviewed what the administration had done for the farmer and took pride in pointing out that the farmer had been relieved of paying income tax within the last fewyears. We felt all the time that the average farmer was not paying much in income taxes and for that matter how many other felloes are doing it. Election night in a newspaper office affords a picture of organized activities as against unorganized chaos. Conspicuous in such a scene in The I News office last week was the slender and agile form of Verne Bridge, circulation manager. The public may tolerate a glimpse into a scene never intended for the stage, but it has become a reality in the memory of the participants because of the unexpected call that death has made on Mr. Bridge. Worn down by reason of irrespressible energies, he fell victim to an illness that all hoped he might survive. It terminated suddenly yesterday, and his companions mourn his departure. He was of an amiable and kindly disposition, but full of that well directed vigor which insured success. He had lived with newspapers all his too short life, and made a good name for himself with the several newspapers with which he had been connected. His professional stay in this city had been comparatively short, but it was long enough to give a convincing evidence of his fine qualities.—lndianapolis News. o — - • TWENTY YEARS AGO * • From the Dally Democrat File • • Twenty Years Ago Today • Nov. 17 —Tom Taggart announces he is not a candidate for United States senator.

NOTES —by— ROBERT HELLER The Chapel prog; am yesterday con sisted of a play entitled "A Mother's Influence.” It was directed by Miss Verneal Whalen. The cast was: Mrs. Bennet Ester Sunderman Mr. Bennet Calmer Fisher Bobert Bennet Richard Schugg Henry Swope Sherman Koos Bryan Harcourt Paul Handler Cora Marsha Martin The story dealt with a modern mother who was told that she had lost her influence over her family, so she decided to leave the family fight its own battles. After one day of getting along by itself the family decided that it needed her help and found that her judgment was the best. Several of the football men, the class officers, and members of the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior class had their picture taken for the annual this week. On Tuesday afternoon. Sam Grath well gave a very interesting talk about China. This was part of his lecture at the Evening Star Festival r November 17, 1923. DEAR FRIENDS: Several times this week we've heard people mention this ad. But as I often remark to my salary, ‘‘You don't go tar enough." The boss, you know, has an order spindle on the counter by the telephone and if it isn’t filled up every day he thinks my advertising is 1 punk. - ' t So, for heaven's sake when you send in your clothes, tell him that you just t couldn’t resist Ben Zeen's s arguments — or something like that. You know what ♦ to say! BEN ZEEN. 1 a DECATUR LAUNDRY “The Farr Way”

SAVINGS CLUBS MAKE REORD Total Os $550,000,000 To Be Distributed This Year To Members A record Christmas Club distribution estimated at $5503)00.000 will be made by over 8,000 banks and financial institutions of the United States beginning with the next few days, according to an announcement made yesterday by the Christmas Club, 45 West 45th street, New York. in the distribution more than 8,000.000 members will participate. The sum is about 10% larger than last year's distribution of about $500,000,iioo and oven five times the amount in 1920. The average distribution per member amounts to $59.10, a slight increase over 1927. In addition to being a record dis tribution for the Christmas Club, more banks participated in the movement during 1928 than ever before. On the basis pf a direct by mail inquiry to individual Christmas Club members, it is estimated by Herbert F. Rawli, founder and president of the Christmas Club, that $213,000,000 of Christmas Club savings will flow into the country’s stores to pay for Christmas purchases, $165,000,000 will be deposited in permanent thrift or savings accounts or yard for permanent investment, $72,000,000 will be used for year-end commitments and concluding installment payments, $30,000,000 will pay insurance premiums. $20,000,000 for interest and reduction of mortgages, $25,000,000 for taxes. $11,000,000 for education aud travel and $5,000,000 for charily. Analysis of these figures shows more than 60 per cent of this vast sum is used for constructive purposes. Checks to members will, on the average, run from $12.50 to SI,OOO. although in some cases individuals and corporations who have planned for the payment of insurance premiums, and dividends will be paid as high as $%5,000 each. This distribution represents the accumulative savings for the past fifty weeks in Christmas Club accounts in banks, trust companies, savings and loan associations and other financial institutions by members pay-

ing weekly amounts that vary from 3f> cents to S2O. Massachusetts leads the states in per capita savings In this movement with New York and Pennsylvania not far behind. The two largest Christmas dubs In the country are operated by the Bank of the Manhattan company in its many branches in Brooklyn. Queens and Manhattan, and the Bank' of Italy in California and its affiliated institution, the Bank of America, National Association, in New York. These banks will disfribute about $lO.000,000 to about 200,000 members. In Manhattan one of the largest distributions will be made by The Statu Bank ii Tryst company; 27,000 members of this Christmas club will receive about $1,300,000. The Mt. Vernon Trust company in Westchester county, the first bank in New York state to install the plan, will pay out about $375,000 to its 7.61 m members. The Union National bank of Schenectady has the biggest club of any city of its size in tile country with a distribution of about $500,000. Lockport, N. Y., has the biggest per-capita distribution of any city in the country. $360,000 or sl7 per capita, has been accumulated by members in the Niagara County National bank in Lockport. The Peoples Bank & Trust Up., of Westfield. New Jersey's first bank to join in the Christmas club movement will pay out $150,000. The Continental Illinois Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago have a total accumulation of over $1,000,000. The club of the National Shawmut of Boston approximates the same figure. Club members of the Commonwealth - Commercial State bank of Detroit will receive about $1,100,000.
