Remember the smoker at headquarters tomorrow even’nr. There will be a program and many talks and a good time. After all this talk about farm relief the price of wheat is off just when the average farmer of the middle west expected to unload to meet his taxes. A good many folks think it has been, will be and is a halloween joker. The ladies will hold another session Friday evening. Ask those who attended last week about the good time and join the crowd this week. You will learn the facts, enjoy the occasion and we hope become so enthusiastic you will wish to help get out the vote next Tuesday. Senator Burton, of Ohio, is dead after a long and eventful career. He has held numerous political positions and is the only man who ever served as congressman, was advanced to senator and then started in and repeated it, serving his district in congress again and then going on to the upper house once more. Search the records of the city of Decatur as you will and you will find no sign of wastefulness. The city has been splendidly managed, the debts have bee npaid, the city light, power and water plants not only kept up but improved, we have progressed in every way. You should feel very grateful for such service and we hope I the vote next Tuesday will be one which will express approval of the administration. Halloween tomorrow evening, when the witches are playful and the goblins more spooky than usual. Its the occasion observed ever since we can remember and long before we are told when masquerades and dim lights and innocent fun may be expected. Some times it takes the form of a night of destruction when the rowdy element feel they have a license to destroy property and otherwise cause annoyance. That is just as much a violation of law on halloween as on any other night and special police officers will be on the lookout tomorrow night to catch those youngsters who decide to thus engage. 1 Only four or five more days until election. Surely yon are interested in that. You will employ the men and women who will officially operate your home town for four years. Its one of the very important jobs you have for conducting a city in such manner as to save you the most money while giving you most conveniences requires experience, ability, honesty of purpose and a desire to make this the best town in the country. That’s what has been 4one and the democratic candidates promise you a continuation of the splendid administration of the past. The women of Decatur should vote in next Tuesday election. You are an important part of the electorate mow days and it is proper that you should assist in selecting the officials who will transact business for Decatur the coming four years. The present administration has been friendly to the women, co-operating with them in every way possible. There are two

He plays regularly on municipal links here. women on the democratic ticket, a woman member of the school board and other women in official capacity. The administration desires the cooperation of the women of the community not only at election time but always. There doesn’t seem to be any bottom to that stock market and many a man who thought he had discovered the way to a fortune without work has a lingering headache and is looking for a job. Hundreds of men lost a million on paper and the end is not yet. The dark side of the picture is that its no longer the work of the gamblers. Its serious because there must be a reason for such a complete toboggan slide. Stocks which were worth four or five hundred dollars a share a fortnight ago can now be had for a third of that. There certainly won’t be any water left in the stocks when this squeeze is over. Under Orval Harruff, superintendent, the water plant owned by the city of Decatur has prospered, efficiency and watchfulness bringing this department up to whero actual earnings are shown. A bonded indebtedness of $15,000 in 1920 has been reduced to $1,500. Since 1923 all bonds and interest have been paid from earnings of the plant. We now have 84,610 lineal feet of water mains in use of which 14,478 feet have been laid since 1921 and we have 3,120 lineal feet under construction. There are 132 fire hydrants, 23 of these having been added since 1921. All fire and domestic pumps in the plant have been replaced with modern electrically driven pumps and a 1.000-gallon per minute motor pump for fire use has been added. Since 1921 the equipment added has cost $61,815.69. Under Mr. Harruff the water plant has become a real part of the city. The rates are lower than in most any city in the state, the service excellent and the plant is showing a small profit as it should. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.
