One lady became real saucy when one of the women seeking office on the democratic ticket offered her a card and asked for her support. Her reply was "I guess not, I’m a republican and never split my ticket.” But she would be pleased if you split yours so she could laugh at you. The democratic platform is not long nor is it worded in fancy language. It is just the plain and honest promises of what the candidates hope and believe they can accomplish if given the opportunity. When you consider how well they have performed in the past you may have every confidence they will keep their promises. If some one really wishes to do the people a favor he will invent some method for preventing bank robberies. The bold machine gun attack of the First National at Peru yesterday by six bandits was evidently put on to show Governor Leslie that they do not fear any thing very drastic from his crime commission and erimp conferences. It will take more than talk to stop the gang. M. F. Worthman has been re-elect-ed secretary of the Northeastern Indiana Teachers Association, a position he has held with much credit for several years. Mart is that way. What he does he does with all his energy and he has bushels of it. He is one of the very finest men in all of Indiana and his ability is recognized in every organization to which he belongs. We congratulate him and we congratulate doubly the N. E. I. A The candidates will be busy the next two weeks presenting the'r claims to the voters and then comes election day when you will decide whether or not you wish to continue the present splendid administration under which so much real progress has been made or not. These officials know how, what and where to do the things that mean most for the peoplp and that’s of more interest to you than anything else if you get right down to thinking it over seriously. We can bring you a number of farmers who will show you that they actually harvested enough beets this year to pay for their land. One farmer has a twenty-ton per acre yield. Figure that out at $8.25 per ton. You will find the sum sufficient to buy about any acre of farm land in the middle west. It ought to be easy to secure beet contracts here the next month or two; in fact it seems to us that farmers should be even more anxious than the sugar company to contract. Would you discharge from your employ a bunch of workers who hffd made a record such as that made here the past few years? Os course you wouldn't. You would be so pleased witli a report which showed the payment of all debts, establishment of a reserve and the betterment of your plant, all without additional investment. and .with lower rates and taxes, that you would unhesitatingly iu-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Beach City. 0. -(UP)--Although he has never sought the office William M. Reed may be forced to '. accept his fourth successive elecI tion as Mayor. No one else want* the position. It pays SIOO a year. • crease the salaries of such faithful I employes. Why should our public * servants not be given the same treati ment? * * ■ ..«■■■ - ■ ■ ’ In addition to the fact that Decatur 1 is out of debt with the exception of an issue of bonds for which the money has been fully set aside, we call your attention to the fact that several hundred thousands has been expended from earnings for the betterment of the city plant, for ornamental street lights and for park improvements. Since 1923 the sum of $235,085 has been spent to make our city plant the best to be found in any small town in this country. This has been I expended to pay for boilers, stacks, coal bins, a 3,000 K.W. turbine and a new spray and ash hopper. Driving your car or truck with a trailer at night and without a tail light on the trailer is against the law and makes you liable for heavy damage in case of an accident. The collision of the car driven by J. S. Peterson brings home to us how serious such an accident can be. At Hartford City Thursday night of this week a car driven by a youth crashed into a heavy farm wagon which did net carry any kind of a light and one boy was killed. Lt may be inconvenient - to thus equipp every vehicle but if you are driving them at night without , lights you are in the wrong under the law's of Indian?. — o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE —————— Q.

SPEECH, RADIO’S ACID TEST, PLAIN ON PHILCOS The reproduction of speech, called by experts the acid test of radio performance, is one of the greatest proofs of the faithfulness of performance of a Philco Balanced-Unit Radio, is tlie claim of Mr. Zwick and technicians of the Philco radio makers. Seen at his store shortly after the arrival of a new line of Philco allelectric Balanced-Unit radio sets yesterday. Mr. Zwick declared that more and more expert radio men were looking to speech rather than music as the best means of telling whether or not a radio set was designed for perfect performance. “ft takes an expert musician to detect flaws in a musical program as received over a radio aet," said Mr. Zwick. "but in the case of a broadcast speech or a short talk it is the easiest thing in the world for the average radio fan to detect distortion of words or phrases or lack of distinctness. "The Philco, Balanced-Unit Radio makes it, easy to believe that the speaker himself is in the room talking. It is by speech that we are seeking to prove—and are proving every day—Philco's right to retain its present place as the most faithful reproducer of radio programs. "When the broadcast studio puts a wonderful program of music, or speech on the air it goes out clear and per- : feet, but ofttimes the receiver which picks it up is composed of units that i do not. synchronize and present so I many obstacles to the program as it goes through tlie receiver that it • comes to the ear distorted and often in an unrecognizable form. Unless I the units work together properly, speech sounds thin and flat similar I to the telephone, the violin sounds . like a cello and a drum sounds like hitting two sticks together. "In the Philco Balanced-Unit Radio each individual working part of the ’ chassis assembly is balanced one with 1 the other by means of the most accurate manufacturing and testing meth- ' ods. The units in radio receivers that 2 have to do with the selection and amplification of the radio impulses t received on the antenna each has a f certain definite peak point of efficiency. To manufacture and select these . units so that their various efficient peaks will match each other takes a lot of care and time and costs the 5 manufacturer good money, but the Philadelphia Storage Battery Com- ' pany is doing this very thing in the manufacture of the Philco BalancedUnit set.” * The Philco is sold in Decatur by - W. H. Zwick & Son, Furniture Store. —advt.

FEDERAL AGENTS STUDY DRY LAW Clause, Making It Illegal To Buy. Brought To Attention By Sheppard Washington. Oct. ID—(UP)—Federal prohibition (officials were feverishly studying todav a hitherto obscure eection of the Volstead law declaring "no one shall purchase any liquor'’ for beverage purposes. Their attention was called to the section by Senator Morris Sheppard. Dem., Tex., author of tlie eighteenth amendment and sponsor of a proposal to make the purchaser of liqjtor equally guilty with the bootlegger. Existence of the section was a complete surprise to many government officiate and legislator*, though it has been on the books since the Volstead law was enacted. Sheppard, in asking Attorney General Mitchell for an opinion as to whether the section could be made the basis for a drive against purchasers of liquor called to Mitchell's attention the recent action of a federal judge in Kentucky who Instructed a grand Jury to indict purchasers under that section. o— — MONROE NEWS The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society met at the home of Mrs. Olis Brandyberry on Wednesday afternoon.
