The banks pay you four per cent interest on your average deposits for a year if you join one of the clubs. Think it over. You never lose by being thirsty. A contribution of nearly a thousand dollars by the good citizens of Adams county to the flood sufferers of Florida again demonstrate this one of the best communities in the world. Include a year's subscription to the Daily Democrat on your Christmas list. The folks away from home wUI appreciate that more than most any thing you can give them. Every body is hoping that Mr. Hoover will bring back from his southern trip a coat of tan and enough orders to make business good in this country the next four years. That would be a tine start. We can make business in Decatur better next year by hustling a little right now, bringing in a few industries, planning to build some houses and to increase our own business. Shull we? Governor Jackson is taking care of a number of the "lame ducks,’’ perhaps hoping that us one good turn deserves another, lie may some day be the fortunate recipient of something soft. Business for last week according to one of the big mercantile agencies “suffers nothing when compared to last year’s business, being about even with it.” That is it suffers nothing except that business a year ago was any thing but satisfactory. About the only excuse that sounds reasonable for the action of Captain Carey in permitting his ship, the Vestris, to sink without securing aid from tlie several ships in that locality, is that the disaster turned his mind. At least that's the most charitable way to write the story. It's not only lime to do your Christmas shopping if you would be early but its time to study the rules for mailing. It's very important that you conform with the orders from the postoffice department if you would have your packages go as directed and on time. There are eight candidates for speaker of the Indiana legislature but so far the power behind the throne, whoever and whatever that is, seems not to have decided. At least it hasn't been made public. Same old game. The boys will hang on until the night before and then the order will go out and whoever is tagged is “it.” Instead of a thirty thousand dollar distribution of savings by the Decatur banks, there ought to be ten times that. Its too late to do much along that line for this year but its just the right time to prepare for a real campaign in that direction next year. If you will start with Hie clubs early in December and keep up your deposits you will have a sung nest egg this lime next year. Now they are urging another campaign to get rid of the corn borer and we presume they will succeed in gett-

Nov. 21 — <U.R> — The terrapin, ‘‘Speedy” the hope of ■ the Okemah Leader office force in I tcraptn derbies, is used us a paper 1 weight on the editor's desk. lug a satisfactory appropriation either from the state or government. However, the loss w’ill have to be more evident than R has been so far around here before any one is going to believe its any thing but another effort to give employment to some of the faithful. December 4th Is the day which has been set apart in Decatur as a good will occasion, when thousands of visitors are expected. There will be a distribution of gifts and of special bargains that ought to iutcrest the buyers in this vicinity. We believe in these business specials because it shows more life, more effort and a greater desire to please and that’s what the patrons of any town is looking for. The ku klux klan is about to discover that it is "not the law" as was claimed by some of its leaders. The supreme court of the United States has handed down two decisions, one upholding the New York law requiring that the klan tile a list of its membership and the other affirming the Kansas decision that the klan must file in each slate In which the legislature so requires, a complete financial statement. The judge in his opinions also said some rather harsh but true statements, which ought to make any fair minded citizen think seriously. Senator Edge of New Jersey lias long been recognized as one of the wet leaders of the country. He is still of the opinion that the law is not just but he is a square shooter and in a statement recently issued, declares lie will do every tiling in bis power towards enforcement of the present laws. He assumes that the recent decided election was a referendum oil the question and he now proposes to lend his aid to Presidentelect Hoover to make the law a success. That is something new and the results will be quite interesting to watch. The newest club in America and one that will appeal to millions has been organized and granted a charter in the state of New York. It is called the Stay Alive club and its founders in their own words, aim "to keep themselves from killing any one and and to protect themselves from being killed by any body else.” A life membership costs but three dollars, which fee includes a copy of the bood, “Stay Alive.” The author is Marcus A. Dow, president of the National Safety Council and in it he tells just how thirty different kinds of motor accidents may happen and how the motorists may stap out of them if he really wants to stay alive. More than fifty great corporations are supporting the new movement and it is expected that it will secure several hundred thousand members from Indiana. te«*»**»»**»# * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * a***********K Wednesday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1928, by United Press (Central standard time throughout.)

PATENT WORK ON INCREASE Number Os Applications During Last Year Grows Steadily Washington, I). C. Nov. 21 —A new record for the number of applications received in the United Stales Patent office was established during the las! fiscal year, the annual report of Commissioner of Patents, Thomas E. Robertson reveals. During that period a total of 11ti.951 applications were presented for consideration, an increase of 3168 over 1927 which was the peak year up to that time. The work of the Patent Office, Commissioner Robertson declares, is seriously hampered because of the insufficient number of technical evaminers available. Although the applications for patents have Increased more than 11,000 since 1925 the force of examiners is actually less now that it was during that year. The delay in acting on the applications, it is pointed out, has a tendency to act as a drag on the industries of this country. Because of insuficient personnel to handle the business, cases awaiting o'fficlal action have risen to 106,575. — the largest number ever recorded, and an increase of approximately 42.000 over hist year. In contrast to the situation prevailing in the patent divisions of the service. the report shows that the trademark and design divisions are able to keep their work current, acting on new cases within 30 days. The Latent Otfice, the report states, is physically in better shape than ever before, with] adequate room, equipment and labor saving devices. Attention is called in the report to iiie high turnover in the examining corps as a result (f the present scale of salaries. During two years an average of over seven trained technical examiners have resigned each month for this reason. According to Commissioner Robertson “to give a professional man, scientifically and legally educated, an intensive training of several years in our particular work and'then to have him resign merely because he is paid an insufficient salary entails large economic loss." Os the 116.951 applications received during the year. 93,699 were for patents for inventions, designs and reissues while 23,253 were for trade-marks labels and prints. Fees collected and turned into the United States Treasury amounted to $3,765,338.31 the largest of any year in the history of the Patent office. The number of printed copies of patents disposed of totalled 5,945,306, of which 2.468,829 were sold to the public at 10 cents each, yielding an income to the Government of more than $28,006 per month. ***#***e***#* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Dally Democrat File 9 * Twenty Year* Ago Today * Nov. 21—Governor Hanley announ ces he will practice law at Indianapolis after retiring firm office. “Cooney” White well known character, dies at infirmary. “Moonshine” outfit discovered byrevenue officers near New Albany, Indiana.

Had Headache and • Awful Indigestion Man and Wife Suffered Ten Years, Then Found Quick Relief. Does your head ache until it feels like it is going to burst? Do you have indigestion and dizzy spells that almost make you fall? If you do, you’ll be glad to read how Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Winrote, 1107 E. Cedar St., South Bend, Ind., obtained prompt relief. Mrs. Winrote says: “I had stomach trouble and constipation for ten years, and suffered agonies with sick spells and splitting headaches. At times, it seemed as if my head would burst. I had no appetite, and even a few mouthfuls would fill me up. Food didn’t digest right, and seemed to lodge in my stomach like a rock. It gave me such awful ' pains in my sides and back, that I was almost frantic. I was bothered with constipation, too, and was a very sick woman 3 Nothing I took seemed to do me any good until I found Viuna. Before I had finished the first bottle, I was greatly benefited. The dreadful headaches and dizziness disappeared, my appetite . picked up, my digestion improved, and I can eat hearty meals without any distress. The constipation is re- ‘ lieved and the pains in my back have stopped. I cannot begin to tell you - how grateful lam to Viuna for my remarkable recovery. It did so much for me, my husband tried it. He had stomach trouble for 15 years, with gas, sour stomach, severe cramps and constipation. Viuna promptly 1 gave him his first real relief. He’s feeling fine and has gained 15 pounds in weight. We both swear by Viuna.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lossy liver and weak kidneys. It purl Hes ‘ the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite Itnd digestion.and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad vou tried Viuna. your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, liul.

Others hold to the theory that they should be utilized as a means of education, and that they should carry a moral lesson When a picture comes along that does both entertain and instruct — it should therefore be acknowledged by both camps of critics. Such a picture is the “ROAD TO RUIN " which opened an eight day engagement Saturday at B. F. Keith's theatre. The underlying note of the film is a strong lecture on the evils of Juvenile delinquency, but the problem has beqn handled so deftly that the net result is good entertainment. it is a sugar coated pill, one might say. In a frank, though not oft* Jectable way “THE ROAD TO RUIN” paints the picture of the moral downfall of a group of young people who are fairly’ representative of their age and time. Gin and jazz sporty roadhouse, wild parties—all milestones along the trail of the elusive “goof time," are shown as the contributing factors to the delinquency of the group. A cast of capable players lias been assessed to portray the various roles, Helen Foster, one of the most beautiful of the younger screen luminaries, reveals herself as an actress of merit as tlie scho 1 girl who goes wrong. Virginia Rove, Grant Withers. Tommy Uarr. Florence Turner and Uhailes Miller have other important parts. The picture is entirely new, and has been passed by the National Board of Review. It is not to be confused with the so-called "sex” picture.” —lndianapolis Star Oct. 22. This picture will be shown at the Adams Theater. Nov. 26 and 27. mailin'? and night. Advt

STEADY NOISE ; RUINS NERVES Scientists Say C hildren Are ! Suffering Recause Ot l “Clatters” New York, Nov. 21—Tue constant noise of traffic and machinery lu literally killing the dwellers in American cities. • i Ftank Parker Stockbrldge. writer and authority on science, makes this . assertion in the current issue of Mc- [ Clure’s Magazine, after ft study in which he finds that the foremost scientists and inventors are turning their , chief efforts to eliminating the clat- . ter and roar which mechanized clvili- , zation has produced. Recent findings of Prof R. W. Woods I of Johns Hopkins, Prof. Newton Haii vey of Princeton and others have conclusively proved, he reports, that tne vibrations arising from sound not only wrack tlie nerves but have an actual i debilitating effect cn the entire body. I These scientists by intensifying sound-waves have proved that they can tear living cells to bits, distlnte- , grate blood cells and actually sear human flesh with vibrations too high pitGuard Against “Flu” With Musterole Influenza. Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold. The moment you get those warning aches rub on good old Musterole. Musterola relieves the congestion and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustani plaster without the blister. First you feel a warm tingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief. Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. To Mothen: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children’s Musterole. Better than a mustard plaster I

ched for the cur to catch, says Mr Stockbrldge. Find Children Deafened The conclusion is that the sound waves In which the city dweller must live his life, although far less powerful, have a similar effect In a lesser degree, accounting for the rapidly Increasing number of nerve cases In hospitals and asylums, suicides and other neurotlc manifestations. City-deafness is another result, reports Mr. Stockbridge. citing a recent survey in Nov York schools which revealed that 15 per cent of the children were wholly or partially deaf. In the van of inventors who are struggling with the noise problem, says the McClure’s article, is Hiram Maxim. Jr., inventor of the gun silencer. who has successfully designed a ; window on the same principle, which 1 will permit both light and ventilation 1 to enter a room while reducing outside j noises to a minimum. Commercial ap plication of the device has not yet j been worked out, due to the high cost.
