If it hadn't been for them and their errors, the Athletics couidn t have broken every baseball record. An Ohio judge has held that the husband of a woman is guilty of bootlegging when his wife is arrested for dispensing home brew, on the grounds that man can't help knowing what his wife does. That might have been good in Blackstone's day but not now. A street car strike down in New Orleans has been on three months and its beginning to look like the gas stations and garages may be inspiring the continuation. A street car strike a few years ago meant a lot of inconvenience but these days we scarcely hear of them. Al Glossbrenner. republican candidate for mayor of Indianapolis has never got along with the unions very well. Just how he will induce the members to vote for him now ought to be as interesting as a cross word puzzle. Perhaps he won't and that Will be too bad for Al. The city of Decatur has a surplus i sufficient to meet the fifty thousand dpilars worth of outstanding bonds when they become due in 1931 and a comfortable bank account besides. Yjou have had a thrifty, wise and economical administration. Better continue it.

•An Indianapolis man saw a fellow slip towards his house and shot him. It develops the victim was a neighbor calling for his key which he had because of a trip out of town. Hie man with the gun wishes he had nfever seen one. When the time comes that revolvers and guns are not so numerous, a lot of lives will be saved. » The Decatur supar plant will open this week and for the next month or' tho will be the busiest place in town. If the beet acreage had been larger the run would require more time, about one hundred days being the average. It's important that contracts for next year be secured before January Ist. Don’t overlook boosting this good cause. The per capita cost of government in Indiana has advanced from $4,28 in 1917 to $8.76 in 1929 but that does not apply in Decatur where the cost has been held down, though improvements have gone steadily on. A city owned power and light plant properly managed is the answer. Don’t trifle with such a condition. Keep it going that i way. Vote for George Krick and his candidates. The platform of the democratic candidates in Decatur pledges them to further reductions in power and light rates, in taxes, more street lights, maintainence of the city power and light and water plant, lower insurance rates if obtainable, a continuation of the safe and sane administration you have been enjoying. Sentiment should not prevent you from supporting the ticket. We don’t feel the candidates on the democratic ticket need any introduction to the voters of Decatur. You know them and about them. They are well knowjj citizens, qualified and

They are Krick for mayor and Mrs. Christen for clerk; Mrs. Martin for treasurer; Vance, Una, Glllig, Hunter and Appelman tor councilmen. The city officials have much to do with the industries of a city and we are sure the relationship between the officers of Decatur and the management of each manufacturing plant in town has been satisfactory. Mr. Krick, himself a manufacturer, has kept in close touch with the needs of each factory, as have the members of the various committees of the council and the city superintendents. That's a very Important part of keeping every thing moving along nicely. It deserves your thought if you are hesitating about how you will vote in the coming city election. During the past four years under Mayor Krick and his very capableadministration many improvements have been made. We can't recite them all to you off hand but the list of things accomplished include, the building of silos at the railroad, two blocks from the city plant, saving much in hauling and saving the streets; increased the water mains and added a number of hydrants: purchased a new fire engine and met other requirements necessary to secure a lower insurance base rate; provided an efficient and well organized paid and volunteer fire department; kept the streets and approaches in excellent condition; added ornamental lights, reduced power and light rates, added addition and equipment to city plant and a number of other things which have aidfd in making this an outstanding city for its size.

CONGRESS TODAY ♦ <U.R) ♦ Senate: pontinues debate on administrative sections of tariff bill. Judiciary committee considers routine business. House: Meets briefly for introduction of bills and to adjourn for three more days. o— — t * Monroe H. S. Notes j Under a very serious threat of rain Thursday, the Juniors and Seniors held a wiener and marshmallow roast in Martz'e woods. No casualties of overeating were reported Friday morning but a few came to school with colds as a result of wet feet. Mr. Waggoner was heard to say that he had a wonderful time which is the opinion of the majority of the Juniors and Seniors.

'The high school had two visitors Friday. Leo McAhren. member of the ’29 class, and Glen Rupert were the fellow's. We hope that more people come and visit our school. The Freshman and Sophomores will hold a wiener roast next Tuesday t evening and, a good time is anticipated but just so they are able to come to school Wednesday morning. Friday morning our pictures were brought to us by the photographer and as a general rule most of the pupils are satisfied. The Juniors and Seniors are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their rings and pins, which will be here in a few days. The library committee met Monday evening and took care of the job of selecting the books. The students should be thankful to our township trustee for the purchasing of these books. All that ever will satisfy the pupils of Monroe would be the erection of a gymnasium. With such a school spirit as has been displayed the pupils are at a loss without one. Mr. Mills, a representative of Purdue University, spoke to the Junior and Senior boys and the Senior girls. He discussed the advantages of the PHILCO BUILT-IN ANTE N N A ‘‘What about an aerial?' is one of the commonest questions we are asked by the prospective radio buyer,” said Mr. Zwick. of Zwick and Son "Erecting an efficient antenna is ofttimes an impossibility, particularly in some apartment houses and hotels, and in such cases radio owners have resorted to numerous expedients, such as an inside antenna around the inside of the room, or using a condenser plug in the electric light socket, in order to get a pick-up. "The newest idea.” Mr. Zwick said, ‘ is found in the new Philco Balanced Unit receiver, in which a capacity pick-up Is found inside the set which does away with an extra lead-in wire to either the electric light outlet or to an inside antenna.” Mr. Zwick pointed out that by depending on this built-in feature on the Philco Balanced-Unit sets, the entire electric light system becomes a powerful antenna which is sometimes more satisfactory than even a good outside aerial. The Philco is sold in Decatur by W. H. Zwick & Son Furniture Store. —advt.

Wash., Oct. 14. —<U.R>—Foor blrdraen who flew a big monoplane across the wastes of northern Asia and the wind-swept waters of the North Pacific in a projected fllgli' from Moscow to New York were the heroes of Seattle today.

The flight from New York to Paris would be made In one hop, the Russians said. The Russians, after encountering engine trouble that forced them down near Craig, Alaska, and necessitated replacements, brought their ship, ‘the Land of the Soviets”, down on the water at Sand Point Field, at 5:31 p. m. yesterday. The crew, Semeon Shestakov, first pilot; Philip Bolotov, second pilot; Boris Sterligov, navigator, and Dmitry Fu&tev, mechanic, showed no ill effects from their long isolation in Alaska where they were forced down almost two weeks ago.
