Be sure to start that Christmas savings card this month, so you pay out in time for the annual check early next December. Just what do you propose for next year to make this a better community for you to live in? That ought to be of interest to every citizen. How about sending the Daily Demo- < rat t,> your folks away from home as a Christinas present? We are sure they will enjoy it during the next year. You can get your 1929 license plates iu Adams county any time after today and the sooner you get it, the sooner you will have that worry off your mind. They say the present flve-dollar bill will be rare in a few years after the new and smaller sized ones are out. With some of us they are almost a curiosity now. The confiscation of two hundred and fifty gallons of hard liquor in one haul in Adams county is going to boost the market for Christmas cheer it is feared, but don’t worry, you are probably better off without it. Just use plenty of ice water. Hiram Evans is warning the U. S. senate to go slow on ratification of the Kellogg treaty to renounce war, which will probably have the tendency to influence the senate to speed it up. They will probably not take orders from Evans. You will be happier on Christmas day if you know that besides giving to the loved ones at home you have helped to make it a happy occasion for some poor boys and girls. You can do that by dropping a dollar into one of the boxes arranged by the Good Fellow s club. According to the dope from Washington there is fifty-four billion dollars on deposit in the banks of the United States so why argue about whether this country is prosperous or not. We haven’t much of it but we hope you have. Christmas savings alone it is < laimed total $29,000,000. A New York congressman wants the limit that any candidate for congress can spend in a campaign fixed at $3,000. which seems high enough to keep the average fellow from becoming a statesman, especially if he is a democtat living in the Eighth Indiana district. If you are not reading the advertisements of the Decatur merchants in the Daily Demoeiat you are missing your chance to se’ect the finest gifts for Christmas al the least cost to you and with the least trouble. Look the paper through each evening. Are you an advertisement reader? You should he for in these messages there is always something that you should be interested in. "It just don't seem possible that Christmas is so hear,” is an expression we have heard every year since we can remember ami we are hearing it again now. Usually we have just this kind of weather and most years we come right up to the occasion unprepared to meet the expenses. Those

J TODAY’S CHUCKLE Dormunsland, Surrey —<U,R>— Four < mplete yolks were found iu an , egg laid by a chicken at Upper ■. Stonehurst Farm here recently. In t the same week an egg without a yolk was laid by another chicken. _ who have their checks from Christinas 2 ) clubs now ate smiling at the rest of 5 us who are wondering how we will be 5 able to do all that is expected from 5 j us. 'lhe moral of course is-join a 1 Christmas club so you can be one of the smilers next year. Two of the measures now being urged in congress by President CoolI idge and perhaps the most important ones that will come excepting of course appropriations, are the Kellogg treaty to outlaw war aud the program , to build fifteen new cruisers at a cost of two hundred eighty million dollars. If we outlaw war why do we need such a fleet of battle ships? Surely both of these measures are not necessary unless we just want to maintain the world's greatest fleet to make the other nations keep their word and so we can show off on state occasions. Mrs. Maude Wilson of Kansas City ' asked a soft drink manager not to 1 sell her daughter intoxicating liquor. I He continued to do so and Mrs. Wil- I son grabbed her axe and proceeded to ] do a Carrie Nation act that made the ] bar room look like a Kansas tornado ’ had been on a frolic there. The police ] were notified but did not interfere ’ until the axe thrower had completed ' a very satisfactory job. The only ' "muff" Mrs. Wilson seems to have , made was to miss a fling or two at ’ the man who was low down enough Jo < traffic his poison among school chil- « dren. « Dr. Morgan, secretary of health at ' Indianapolis says the epidemic now ! so common through the middle west is not the influenza but what might ; be called "flu phobia," a disease consisting of sore throat and a cold in i the nose. He does not consider it 11 serious except in those cases where 1 proper attention is not given. He also i | thinks it foolish to close the schools. 1 declaring that when this is done the | children run around more and thus ‘ enhance their chances to catch cold. ( Whatever they call it, it is known ‘ that it is serious enough that no one | should think it will just go away. H Better see your family doctor and I make sure. Christmas has its spiritual side, I ‘ which deserves and receives attention 11 annually not only iu pulpit and press the world over, but also in the hearts I I and minds of millions of believers in the mission of the child who was ’ born amid such depressing surroundings more than 1.900 years ago in ' Bethlehem and Judea. It has its material side too. for around the celebration of the great Christian festival . there has grown up a custom of sending greetings and gifts which gives , an extraordinary impetus to trade and I to the circulation of money. Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, transportation agencies, telegraph companies, the postoffice department —■ all benefit by these outward manifest*- i tions of the Christmas spirit, which thus discharges a most useful function in the body politic. The cheapest Christmas card or the most ordinary toy gives employment to various persons all the way from the factory to I the recipient. According to statistics which have been somewhat hastily compiled and may in consequence need later revision, the festival up- | proaching will be responsible for something like a $5,000,000,000 outlay ou the part of the public of the United States. Postal receipts are higher than ever before, arising from the I greatest movement of letter and parcel mail on record. Bank clearings have been phenomenal, and the fedt eral reserve board reports reflect the . quickest turnover of merchandise , stocks in the history of the country. . _ 0 W. F. M. S. of M.
