This is fire prevention week and one thing that every one should d.' that they are advising is to be very careful about burning leaves. Many disastrous fires have occurred from that cause in the past. You can at least see that the flues are safe, that rags and rubbish likely to cause combustion are disposed of and that the wiring in your bouse or business place is in good condition. If. you do that it will be about the best observance of Fire Prevention Week you can make. Os course the unexpected may happen and Chicago still has a chance against the lively Athletics, but its a ten to one shot now that the Phillies will take the series. With two games put away and those both played at Wrigley field it looks like a cinch for the Mackmen are hard to beat anv where this year and especially in their own yard. It seems to be up to Jesse Rice to take charge of a Halloween celebration. He has done it successfully several times and if he is encouraged a little and backed up financially, he might be persuaded to organize it again. It’s a fine thing for the com munity and provides ten times more pleasure than it costs. -- Mrs. Alice Christen is the democratic candidate for city clerk, qualified and deserving and Mrs. Ada Martin is the candidate tor city treasurer, a business woman who has every qualification to warrant your support. The ticket is a very strong one. composed throughout of splendid men and women. There are many reasons why you should vote the democratic ticket this year. Let’s keep things moving here. When you select city officials you are simply picking out those whom you feel will best take care of your interests. Maye- Krick, who is asking re-election as a democrat has proven by four years of excellent service and by his term as a member of the council that he is honest, capable and safe. He will if elected and given a friendly council, continue to keep the old ship, Decatur, moving along nicely and will provide a record in another four years that you will be just as proud of as they are. A lower electric rate, power rate, insurance rate, more ornamental lights, more improved strets, a municipal swimming pool, a new city park, all these things and many others without a tax increase and with a comfortable balance in the bank. That’s the record of the present administration. Does that mean any thing to you? We would think you would make up your mind now to support such an administration and keep it made up until after election. O. L. Vance, Herman Gillig, H. Fred Linn. Joseph Hunter and George Appelman are candidates for the city council on the democratic ticket. They are conservative and careful men of business experience, all of them having served you before excepting Mr. Appelman and all of them absolutely safe to represent your interests in the important places they , seek. Elect them by a majority that will leave no doubt in their minds

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Ford City, Pa., —(UP)— Mrs. Catharine Mohney, of Ford Cliff, who recently celebrated her 102nd birthday prefers the old washboard to the electric washer. She pronounced the lutter an abomination. that you are back of them. That will m.Jte a better community. Under call by Governor Leslie, a ! crime conference will be held jn Inidianapolis tomorrow and next dav. Now don’t get confused. Its a meeting to discuss prevention of crime and not as you might suspect, a session to decide on what thrills can be worked out. There is need for a suppression of crime and this does not require any new laws. If some plan can be worked out for better enforcement of the present statutes it may be worth the time but if Its tn he simply a

I talking tournament as such gather- , ings usually become, then it might , just as well not have been called. . We can only wait and see. Perhaps ( they will surprise us and really do something worth while. You never can tell wheq unexpected things will i occur. > From the day when than first began to eat bacon the word ‘‘pig" has stood for the ultimate in greed and bad manners. But now comes the United States department of agriculture with a bulletin asserting that the pig has been foully wronged. He is not, after all. piggish by nature: under the surface he has unsuspected forces of restraint and daintiness. The department found this out by experimenting with self-feeders for pigs. These things, it seems, are contrivances by which the pig can help him-1 self to his food whenever he feels like! it. One might expect that this would ‘ find the pig with his snout forever in the trough. But. as a matter of fact, the pig eats less this way, and is far nicer about it, than when he Is fed by hand. In other words, the pig s piggishness has been forced on him by man. When we call a greedy glut-. ton a pig we are slandering the noble ■ race of porkers.—Topeka Capitol. —o Thrills. Excitement.
