THAT'S WHEN WE EMPLOY THOSE WHO WILL SERVE DECATUR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. You are cordially invited to attend the democratic meeting in headquarters at 7:30 o'clock this evening. A program of interest has been arranged and you will enjoy it if you believe in Decatur. A hundred men in Indiana University have joined the "no shave” club and taken a solemn obligation not to shave until three days after the Purdue-Indiana game, last of the season or until the I. U. football team wins a game, which is going to be plenty tough on the young ladies! down there. The first cold wave of the year was I sufficient to make many predict an old fashioned winter which may come and may not, but you can feel sure that you will need plenty of fuel and reasonably warm clothing the next several months. Decatur stores and shops are well stocked with fine goods of every kind at the lowest prices and with reputable firms back of the merchandise. For some years Mr. Trester has been permanent secretary of the Indiana high school athletic association. Now his title has been changed to commissioner. He will act as does Judge Landis in baseball as the czar ot basketball and other school sports, which won't make much difference for he has to all intents and purposes been that ever since he took the secretarial job. An efficient fire department with first class equipment saved a loss of more than $150,000 in fires occurring in Decatur the past year. That’s Important in any city for good concerns will not invest unless they know thev will have tire protection. We may well be proud of the fire fighting organization here and their record which has been good enough to secure a reduction in fire insurance rates on both dwelling and business properties. The administration has been doing every thing possible to make this department as good as can be found any where. The city debt has been entirely paid off excepting a $50,000 bond issue due in 1931 and for which the funds have been set aside. That's going some when we consider that a few years ago the debt was more than $136,000 and that during the past six or seven years we have spent twice that much for improvements to the city plant, the parks, the streets, the fire equipment and the installation of ornamental lights. These facts ought to interest you intensely at this time when the campaign is on for the election of those who will conduct city affairs in Decatur the next four years. George Krick with a strong ticket asks your support. A sincere desire to help every one in this community has been the outstanding point in the George Krick administration. He and the others in his administration have made every effort to cooperate with the industries of the city because in these hundreds of men and women find em-

Barry, wife of a local nmat tear boxer, has filed suit for divorce. ployment. They have extended water 3 mains, have reduced power rates, ® made possible a reduction of insttr--5 ance rates and otherwise done excel- ? lent work. Such service deserves your ) sincere approval and merits your vote J for the democratic ticket on Novem ber sth. So far the interest manifest in the approaching city election has been 1 below par, at least so far as any public demonstration has been made. It is to be hoped that there will be sufficient activities the next ten days to ; bring out a large vote. We Insist that this election is of vast importance for those whom you elect as mayor, councilmen, clerk and treasurer will conduct the business affairs of this city from 1930 to 1934. With a milliondollar city plant and all the other matters to be carefully watched, these jobs are about as important as any in the community. Plan to vote and do more than that. Show an interest in Decatur by aiding iu getting out the vote in your precinct. o • TWENTY YEARS AGO ‘ • Twenty Years Ago Today • From the Daily Democrat Fi'e * October 24. 1909 was Sunday. 0 — Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Plant Fertilizer The earth around plants can be enriched by watering them with a solution of 150 grains of glue to two gallons of water.

TO RECOMMEND LOAD LIMITS Indianapolis. Oct. 24.—(U.R)—Rigid load limits, and curtailment of use of long vehicles, on Indiana highways, will be recommended to the next legislature by John J. Brown, director of the state highway department. Brown outlined his program in an address here. It included empowering the state highway department to determine a speed limit, for all detouns. “Our permanent highways were not designed for the tremendous tonnage that is now placed on them,” Brown asserted. “Certainly the state should be empowered to regulate loads and see that the rules are firmly enforced. If we are not given this power our present highway system will be impossible to maintain.” Brown cited the many trucks and trailers on Indiana roads that make a train so long as to shut off vision of other motorists, thus endangering lives. z He declared that other states have load limits and it often happens that three trucks will transport cargos to the Indiana line, where they will reload and put the entire shipment into two trucks for the unlimited traffic through this state. “We.should not permit those trucks to travel our highways with the weight of a loaded freight car,” he continued. “Our roads can never withstand such a strain."
