!' " TODAY’S CHUCKLE El Reno. Okla., -- <U.R) — Hugh Turntpseed and F. Gardener are I salesmen for a horse radish factory here. week before and every body is busy | with plans for next Tuesday. Decatur stores are open in the evenings now to allow C*hristmus shoppers to take advantage of’ the big stocks of goods now offered at reasonable prices. Take a look at the advertisements and then visit the stores and select your goods for Christmas. Fourteen were killed in accidents in Indiana over the week emi, the list including one family of six at Windfall. They came up to a crossing where the view was shut off by a house, instead of stopping to ascertain if a train was coming they drove on the tracks ■ aud in an instant another terrible | chapter was written to the careless-1 ness of automobile drivers. The trouble between Bolivia and Parague would probably have occurred even if Mr. Hoover hadn’t visited there. They like the president elect and we sincerely hope and believe that as a result of the visit of the president-elect and his company to the Latin countries, a belter trade exchange will be forthcoming between north and south America. The flu may not be as serious as it has been in the past but its still nothing to be fooled with as those will te'l you who have been having it. The cough hangs on like a tick and you feel any thing but in a holiday mood. As it goes on. scientists declare it will grow in severeness, so don't take any chances if you can help it. Go to ! your physician and follow his advice.! ~ Saturday. January sth. is to be a big trade and shopping day in Decatur. : Watch for announcements by the various business houses and take advan- (

Itage of the opportunity to trade tn the town that offers more because it has mote to offer. The merchants are making a concerted effort to attract trade by paying more for produce, by extending special invitations and by glv■ing values for your money all tire time. I Its a splendid way to help the city. The fifteen year old boy, Jimmy Deacons, who plead guilty of murdering Miss Flossie Carter, 27 year old school teacher at Sheriden, Michigan, may be crazy or a degenerate or just a tough kid, but what ever is the matter with him he will be better off behind the walls of prison when- he can’t bother any else for a trivial offense. He got mad at his teacher because three years ago she had cuffed his ears (or “shooting wads.” The state highway commission stands ready to build a concrete road from this city to the Ohio state line, provided right-of-ways are secured over the half section line road. There ■should be no petty reasons for holding up such an improvement and we don't J believe there will be but there is danger that we will daily along and lose out on next years program. That would be too bad for its hard to say just, when we would again have such an opportunity. Better take it while we can get it. The Christmas tree is said to be a comparatively rectent feature of the celebration of the festival, dating back not more than two centuries The evidence presented in the display of supplies of this attribute of the home observance, and often of the public also, offers proof of the firm hold the custom has gained. If the practice of cutting tiees menaces our future timber supply, apparently the threat has no effect in diminishing the offerings which are in evidence on every hand. The Puritan settlers of New England have left an impress in many directions on this nation but their non-ob-servance of Christmas is not one of them. In making much of the event we | appear to combine many of the cus toms of the diverse elements»which

e n<nv enter into our composite popus lation of more than one hundred milt- Hon. The introduction of a pine tree e as u part of the Christmas celebration :-' may have come to us as a feature of pegan feasts but it Is not amiss to >, adapt to modern uses a good thing, no matter what its origin. f At the beginning of the long season . of colds the loss in efficiency, wages I and the cost of medicines and doc- , tor’s fees is mounting rapidly. With ! the first intimations of the winter reason comes the annual grief and tribute to diseases of the breathing tract. A Chicago newspaper remarks that the annual American loss in working time through disease and disability is at least $3,000,000,000. Preveni live medicine can reduce that contribution to waste and in doing so can ! save the people millions that go toI ward the extraordinary expense of illness. Costly though sickness is, however, nothing is gained and much may be lost by trying to evade it. One . should try to avoid sickness, but when it com ;, to dodge its responsibilities and to substitute ignorant home practice for scientific care is foolish. By I stopping work, going to bed and calling the doctor at the beginning of an Infection people often will escape pneumonia and other dangerous diseases. The more people know about right living the healthier and happier , they will be. The American Medical Association could do an immense service tc humanity by putting the common tenets of health before the people in the form of institutional or group advertising. It could in this way com- . bat quacks, frauds and cults that im-
