Womrti are particularly Invited to call at headquarters and to assist in the organization of the women voters of Decatur. Come up to Democratic headquart- _ ers and help the candidates and the committee in the campaign. They will appreciate it and you will enjoy - it. Democratic headquarters have been opened in the hall over this office and voters are invited to call and to • assist in making the last two weeks -« of the campaign interesting enough to bring out a good vote on election day. A Dallas man is to bat a baseball ; ■ from there to Philadelphia, having , lost a bet with a friend on the world 1 series, it might be well for the folks i along the line to be on the lookout. ; He might be a foul hitter. We know i he’s a very foolish young man. i In addition to what has been done . you should be impressed with the , promises now being made by the democratic candidates for further reductions in taxes, light and power and insurance rates and continued improvements; The vote for them should be overwhelming. Boys may have all the fun they can] manage to create so long as they don’t destroy property or interfere with the rights of others. When they do that they are law violators and may get into real serious difficulties. Don’t do it boys. Its so much better in every way to give pleasure rather than worries to others. Jimmy Collins of Indianapolis, has just received his thirteenth prison sentence in sixteen years at Indianapolis, this time three to' ten years for second degree burglary. The case should be referred to Governor Leslie’s new crime commission for there are indications that longer terms down the line would have headed off some of his numerous crimes. There is certainly not much sense in fooling around trying to reform such a confirmed criminal. John E. Preston, known among his acquaintances in Chicago as tlui ‘ model husband" slipped and fell. - He got drunk the other day and dated up a couple of office girls, took them out to lunch and then attacked them. One got away but he choked the other one to . death. Now he will plead guilty, hoping for a life sentence instead of the chair. His remorse is taking most of the pleasure he got from his escapade it is said and whether he lives or dies, life has lost ' most of its attraction. Under auspices of the civic section of the Woman’s Club the annual cam- . paign for fruit for the*hospital is on this week and you are asked to assist in making it the usual success. The dainties thus secured are appreciated by the hundreds of patients who are forced to the Adams County Memorial hospital during the year. Won’t you help by having a can of fruit, or preserves or jelly or jam ready when the solicitors call? Its a fine thing to help such a cause as this. We would like to see the farmers of Adams county sign up for several

thousand acres of beets for next year ’ and we believe it would be a fine ) ) thing for them as well as for the com- ’ inunity. One of the well-known farm- >' ers of this section who had one acre * out this y£ar realized $95 gross, a handsome return and almost as much as he could get for that acre of ground if he sold It. A good profit can be made from beets and we will all be sorry if we let this splendid industry go down. We ought to be fighting in earnest. Democrats of Decatur should organize for election day which means that every one interested in any way—and that ough*l to mean each citizen — should assist in getting out the vote. If that is done a victory will be won by a handsome majority. With a majority of from 300 to LOOO to work on it is better for every one that democrats be elected to fill the offices, so long as they are capable and you know that the men and women presented on the democratic ballot this year are in every way fit to care for the offices they seek. During the past seven years the debt against the city of Decatur has been decreased from $136,419.15 to , $51,500 and the money has been set aside to pay that balance, leaving a comfortable bank account. That, we ( maintain is a record that should make ( every one of the citizens of Decatur , a booster for those who did it. Think of it and then inquire as to the conditions in other cities where equal business acumen and attention has. not been given. And in addition to that . taxes have been lowered in the city and reductions made in light anti power rates. Surely such a record deserves your earnest support. 0 • TWENTY YEARS AGO * • Twenty Years Ago Today • From the Daily Democrat Fi’e • Oct. 16 —Pitsburgh wins the seventh and deciding game in the world series from Detroit.

STOMACH UPSET Get at the real cause. That’s what thousands of stomach sufferers are doing now. Instead of taking, tonics, or trying to patch up a poor digestion, they are attacking the real cause of the ailment—clogged liver and disordered bowels. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets help arouse the liver in a soothing, healing way. When the liver and bowels are performing their natural # functions, people rarely suffer from indigestion and stomach troubles. Have you a bad taste, coated tongue, poor appetite, a lazy, don’t-care feeling, no ambition or energy, trouble with undigested foods? Try Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound. Know them by their olive color. They do the work without griping, cramps or pain. All druggists. 15c, 30c and 60c.

Dear Sir: The season is approaching when a long-suffering public will be expected, in the name of custom, to tolerate a form of vandalism, which at any other time of the year, would be dealt with in no gentle fashion. Already gangs of juvenile hoodlums are busy terrorizing the home located on the less well lighted streets of the city. My home was one of several in this part of the city marked for defilement this (Sunday) evening. I have no word of criticism to offer against any innocent fun that may be associated with the season of Halloween. But it seems to me that the time has arrived when an aroused public opinion should demand the city police all parts of the city, and thus take very definite steps to put a stop to the nocturnal activities of the roving gangs of embryonic thugs who hold high carnival in the alleys and poorly lighted streets of the city. I wish no one to read into the above any blame for the two faithful officers 1 who are on night duty. They do all 1 that can be expected of them. But ' they cannot do enough. Give them 1 adequate assistance. i No Halloween season ever passes * but some outraged citizen, in an effort 1 to protect his home, takes the law ’ into his own hands, and ghastly trag- 1 edy results. It does seem to me that the city ■ owes it to a well-wishing constituency i that the people be protected from the ’ insane malice of the fifteen or twenty moronic nit-wits who make life miserable for everyone in all parts of the city. e Harry W.

Peterson Nellie Haney Kathryn Elberson —Committee Q —— CARD OF THANKS 1 take this privilege through the columns of the Democrat in behalf of the family and brothers and sisters of Jesse W. Beery to express out deep-felt gratitude and thanks to the immediate neighbors who helped about the home and expressed their sympathy both in word and deed; to the doctors and nurses for their skill and personal interest; to Mr. Black for personally shouldering some of Balanced Units Mean Perfect Reception "The public is getting radio wise,” said Mr. Zwick, "and someone asks us every day just what it is that makes one radio perform better than another. Radio engineers have proved that the one and only way to secure, without distortion, the excellent programs put on the air by broadcasting stations is to build a receiving set with ail the units in it perfectly balanced and synchronized.” 1 "Distortion » bound to occur,” Mr. Zwick said, “where transformers, inductances, resistors ami condensers are assembled into a set with little or no regard to their individual characteristics and reaction on each other. Every unit in a set hat, a certain individuality of its own which affects every other part for good or for ill and if this fact is not made paramount in building radio sets, the product is likely to perform like a chorus in which every member is singing in a different key.” The designers of the new Philco Balanced-Unit set have taken all these things into consideration and after every imaginable test, have produced a receiver in which every unit is carefuully balanced, one with the other, so that when the set is completed each unit works at peak efficiency, providing a free and unobstructed path through the receiver aud speaker from the antenna to the ear. The Philco Electro-Dynamic speaker is carefully matched and balanced with the units in the receiver, with the result that the tone quality is natural and harmonious almost beyond belief. The Balanced Units ipermit the desired radio impulses to be separated from all others and to pass through the set with Ittle or no resistance. The’ result is an ultra-sensitive and selective set that has no superior as a distance getter. The Philco is sold in Decatur by W. H. Zwick & Son Furniture store. -advt.
