Perhaps if 'there was a wigwag signal at the Winchester street crossing the near-serious accident would not have occurred Thursday evening. The next big trade day in Decatur with special attractions will be on January sth Decatur offers more because Decatur has more to offer. The Good Fellow club fund nears the hundred dollar mark. It will have to grow rapidly it' we are to reach the three hundred mark for next week is the last chance to do it and allow time for preparing the Christmas cheer. If the danger to Mr. Hoover in Buenos Aires is as great as dispatches seem to indicate it was certainly foolish to go there. Mi. Hoover is presi-dent-elect and as such has no right to subject himself to any of those anarchistically inclined in a foreign country. California will change the drunken driver law so that it won't be necessary to prove the driver intoxicated but only that he has had a drink. Os course that may not be as easy as it seems now but if it will help prevent intoxicated men or women taking hold of a car wheel, its worth trying. Township trustees, it is now claimed, will sponser a bill in the coming legislature to repeal the teacher's tenure law and to also do away w-ith the township and county institute. Tinies certainly change for most people believed that the institute was a part of the educational fabric which would last as long as the schools themselves. Next week is the big Christmas shopping week. While many have completed the job, most folks are still just thinking about it. You are urged to watch the Daily Democrat and select your gifts through the advertisements appearing for no where will you find as high grade goods for the same money as in Decatur stores. Decatur offers more. Those who think the 270,000,000 appropriation which has passed the senate committee for prohibition enforcement, a joke, may discover eventually that it is not. Once such an organization is completed, it will probably be maintained. Surely the serious minded of congress will not feel it necessary to jump from $13,000,000 to such figures as those now discussed. Congressman Will Woods is urging the republicans of Indiana to keep their promises and repeal the primary law, putting up several arguments, one of which is that it is difficult for women to secure a nomination in a primary. Perhaps, however, back of all of Wood’s talk is a personal desire to get. on the ticket some day for senator or governor without the effort of a primary campaign and we will all admit its an effort. vVe still have a few days to secure the easements on the proposed highway east of here if we are to get in on next years program. It should be remembered that before the job is complete we must also secure the easements from this city west and that job has not even been tackled.

r TODAY’S CHUCKLE Dfinbury, Conn.—<U.R>— Recently I Danbury voters approved an appropriation for u new fire appara- , I tus. While the new truck wag mak- ■' ing one of Its first runs to a fire t it burst into flames. One of the old engines was called to the fire. If we delay much longer our opporj tuuity has passed at least for the ) time being. Don’t lets go to sleep. ) j A congressman is asking twentyJ five million dollars to fight the flu. We will probably spend that and more but its a matter after all it seems that local communities will have to take i care of, so whats the use to fool around with it in congress. Before it Is put through there we will all either have had it or missed it. There seems to be a mania for money spending and its dangerous. It is pleasing to learn that such care has been used by those in charge of the local schools that there are only a few cases of flu phobia here. If the present plans of sending all students home who show signs of a cold are carried out, it is much preferred to that of closing the schools as is being done elsewhere. We congratulate Mr. Worthman and feel sure he will keep his eyes on things in connection with the ailment. William Block, Indianapolis merchant who died a few days ago, left an estate of ten million dollars, according to the inventory just filed. Block came to this country an immigrant and by his industriousness, built up a great fortune. Yet there are young men who sit around and weep about the chances to make good being gone. They are not. You have it young man, if you will quit dreaming and get down to real things, save your money, live within your income, keep your eyes open and work. A telephone message from the state highway department urges speed in securing the easements through the county if it is desired to get in on next years program. Regarding the road east from here, we were informed again that the commission desires to follow the half section line from the concrete pavement through to the state line. Every day of delay now means a delay in getting the road and also means taking a chance on not having this strip included in next years program. We are serious about the importance of this proposed improvement and believe that every one else should be. We should grasp the opportunity while we can for it will soon be too late and no one can tell just when it will come again. There hangs over the desk of the manager of a Decatur industry a little frame in which is the following legend: “Another day is here. Help us to meet the rugged requirements with cheerful faces. Give us the patience to serve faithfully and well; and at night loan to us sound and undisturbed sleep, that we may serve better tomorrow." It sounds like a

Veteran Passes ’ I IB SsW 9E BE u JACOB RAILINtj Above is a latp photograph of Jacob Railing. 92, Civil War veteran of Decatur, who died November 28. At the time of his death, Mr. Railing was the oldest living resident of Adams county. prayer, and it is. But not to the good God alone; it strikes the eye of the beholder. It touches a new note in his being. It gives him a new angle on the manager and the establishment over which he has charge. It puts the man on the outside of the desk rail into a mood to do business quickly, generously and fairly. It is, also, a constant reminder to the manager himself that he sits there not so much to be served, as to serve. It is a j text that both customer and employe can take to heart. It is in the last analysis the platform upon which that firm does business. And it is a good prayer and a good platform, for service is the keynote of modern business. "He profits most who serves best," wrote Paul Harris, of Chicago, some seventeen years ago and men in every country the world over are at this time aligned by the thousand under the banner which bears that legend. 0 ON THE SIDELINES .....1N.....
