Ffty cents a week invested in a Christmas dub will bring you twentyfive dollars and interest just when you need it next year. Get ready to start. Women have organized and will make an effort to secure at least one member of the president’s cabinet. It's going to be just too bad if one of ’em ever gets the secretary of war’s portfolio. The average business man in this section who finds the year nearing a close with ills business totals equalling those of last year, is pleased. We should plan now to make 1929 bigger and better in every way. December 4th is to be the big day in Decatur and you are invited to attend. The merchants of this city are striving to please their patrons and they guarantee you the best goods at the best prices possible. Join the happy throng. According to David Lawrence, Mr Hoover will continue the Coolidge brand of government administration, which is certainly not a surprise. That was our understanding of the matter during the campaign and the people voted for it. Why shouldn't he continue it? Mr. Hoover has caught his fish and a dozen cameras clicked as he did it. The public will be interested to learn whether he handled the fifteen-pound boy with skill, but after all it doesn’t make much difference. Some of the smartest meu we know are awkard when it comes to the great Waltonian field. The court has ruled that A. L. Trester, boss of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, is not as powerful as he thought he was. He ordered the Bosse team at Evansville suspended until January Ist but the court has decided that the games can be played as scheduled. The judge was probably a Bosse fan. The city council at Elwood has decided that its time for the folks over there to take a bath and by a vote of seven to one have decided in favor of a $40,000 bond issue with which to build the public bath tub. That ought to provide a first class swimming pool that will bring more pleasure to the youngsters and many grown ups than any money they ever invested. Hon. E. G. Hoffman, well-known banker and lawyer, of Fort Wayne will give the principle address at the Father and Son banquet to be given at the Presbyterian church in this city the evening of December 7th. Mr. Hoffman is able and convincing and those who attend will listen to a worth-while raesage. One of the ten best sellers today is “How to mix drinks’’ by Jerry Thomas, a former bartender. It is illustrated with reproductions of bartenders of America and is more popular in many homes than many of you believe. Thousands of them will be given as Christmas presents and the recipes will be tried with enthusiasm. Why no protest? The clean-up in Chicago is causing a protest, it being argued that all the good it is doing is increasing the

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Saranac Lake, N. Y. —<U.R>— Husky thieves cpeiate here. Two steel girders, 30 feet long and weighing many tons, assigned for use in bridge construction, have been purloined. I ' price and cheapening the wet goods. The price of beer has been boosted from ten cents to twenty-five and whiskey costs as much as a dollar a drink now. Mr. Swanson, however, will continue his drive and ought to have things in fairly good condition tor the world fair in 1933. At this time of year any merchant can advertise with the knowledge that he is sure to get his money back many times over. With the Winter buying season on and the holidays near, you can sell your goods if you present

them properly through newspaper advertising. Start in now and compare results with other weeks when you i have not used enough space to attract attention. The mails are being flooded again . with advertisements for the sale of stocks in oil companies. Most of them are “wild cats" and they will bite you if you get close enough to even invest a dollar. The safest investment you can make on the payment plan is to join a Christmas club or take stock in a local loan association. You will get your money back with interest and thats more than you will do in the oil companies about nine times out of ten, according to statistics. Looks as though there is a battle on to decide whether the supreme court, Governor Jackson or Dr. Shumaker has the most power. The supreme court has ordered the AntiSaloon League head to appear before them December Ist and show cause why he should not serve the sixtyday term at the penal farm, imposed by them for contempt of court. He was freed by a pardon issued by the governor, who perhaps surmised that the statute of limitations had run. Great game, getting rather humorous’, but serious. A bill prepared for the coming legislature and which is attracting some attention is one providing for the levying of a two mill tax by any town or township for the support of a band. The object is alright but there seems little need for the new law since there is nothing now to prevent any corporation appropriating money for this purpose. Unless there is some reason we haven't heard, the bill i looks like another complication of the statute books, of which there is entirely too much now. It is the opinion of the greatest business and financial men in America that the prosperity outlook for the next several years is the best in all history and plans are being made by these men and the great institutions they represent, to take advantage of the opportunities. There is no sound reason why we in Decatur should not do likewise, on a smaller scale of course, but in such manner that our progress will be assured. There are so many things that should be done and can be done that it doesn’t make much difference which we do first, just so we start. It will be through the continued expansion of modern business that education will receive its greatest encouragement and experience its greatest growth according to torwards-look-ing business men, an outstanding example of this school of thought being Mr. Edward A. Filene, a vastly successful Boston merchant. The contiibution of industrial research work . to the progress of education is but . one sign of the times, he holds, ini dicating that education is required by . business and industry as never be- , tore. Trained men are needed in all j branches of business and industry recognizes the necessity for contributing more heavily than ever to the development of educational facilities j adequate to the demand of modern e conditions, he declared in a recent adb dress before the University of the

'state of New York. He predicted that teachers who are now paid no more than clerks will have their salaries doubled before long. Business 5 will pay the bill and pay it cheerfully, Ihe asserted. One of the most interesting of Mr. Filene's prophecies was that regarding the five-hour day which he said will come when mass produc- . tion and higher wages, which will susI tain the greater output by providing I power of consumption on the part of ! the workers, shall have advanced to a point where a man’s earnings for , five hours will keep his family in ade , quate comfort. The interesting speaker did not touch upon the question of 1 the use of the surplus time that will be left for leisure. Unless there is provision for cultural or other usefid employment of such leisure it would boot little to give the average man the five-hour day, granting that it is economically possible to do so. When we have learned to use leisure wise-1 ly for healthful recreation, for study and for cultural enjoyment the shorter day will be a blessing. Otherwise it might possibly prove to be anything but desirable. 0 — “WOODEN KIMONO” COMMING TO SHRINE, FORT WAWNE After thrilling New Yotk and Chicago, the mystifying comedy drama the | "Wooden Kimono" comes t > the Shrine Auditorium. Foit Wayne, for three | nights starting Sunday, November I 25th. Right now, the "W. odeu Kimono" 1,1 an emphatic hit in London, and is soon to be produced in Austrialia and in Germany. Not since the days of the “Cat and the Canary" and "The Bat". ' it would seem, has the teatre ging I public acclaimed so unreservedly a mystery play as in this play of the . success meted out to it in other cities. Not only mystery and thrills abound ' in the “Kimono”, but also such hilarious comedy of a most unexpected nature. The leading role is played by MayWard. well-known Loudon actress, , whom Mr. Wintz has hr tight to Am- 1 erica for this part. Among the other players will be found such successful ! artists as Edmund Dalby, Vera Temple,' < Elizabeth Dunne, George Bogues. Wil | . Ham Balfour, Richard Beach, Thoihis j Collins and ethers. Newspapers in the vicinity of Fort • Wayne, the St. Louis’ I‘oss Didpatch. I Cleveland Press and th“ Columbus - Citizen speak highly of the play and ( the presenting company. Advtx ‘ GLOWING TRIBUTE < TO NEWKONJOLA 1 BY STEEL WORKER! z II Man Felt That His Davs Wefel Numbered Until Konjola Solved His Grave Health Problems z, *'■ * ~ Ah' MR. MARK PALMER Every day is adding new laurels to Konjola's crown of success in its 1 triumphs over ailments that have I stubbornly refused to yield to other | medicines and treatments. One of these interesting recoveries is re-j ported by Mr. Mark Palmer, a steel worker, who lives at 523 Delaware Street, Gary, Ind. “I felt that my days were numbered,” says Mr. Palmer. “I spent hundreds of dollars uselessly; doctors fa-led to help my terrible stomach and intestinal troubles. I had about given up hope. I had spells of weakness upon arising, and I fell back on my bed in trembling and cold sweat. My breath came in jerks and my heart pounded. For days constipation ruled me. In desperation I gave, Konjola a trial and improvement came with the very first Ixrttle. A surprisingly short treatjmenl restored my health. I delayed several months before making this statement. as I wanted to lie sure that my recovery was permanent. Today • I am happy in new health, new strength and a new joy in life. Marvelous, indeed, is this master of al! 1 medicines.” i Konjola is sold hi Decatur, Ind., at Smith. Yager & Falk’s drug store, and by all the best druggists in all ! towns throughout this section.
