The democratic women held another splendid meeting at headquarters last evening and they are enthusiastic about Tuesday's job. They will do their part in the election and they will appreciate the help of every voter in the city. Political promises are often made for the sole purpose of influencing the voters but we feel you can depend absolutely upon those by the democratic candidates in the city election for the proof is in the record of the past four years. Plenty of rain and for many folks entirely too much. Its becoming serious and we are hoping for a week or two of fair skies. One of the discouraging results is the fact that beets cannot be brought in while the fields are so wet and there is grave danger of a loss to the sugar company. We congratulate the candidates in the Deqatur election. We have never known a cleaner campaign to have been made and thats as it should be. Selecting those who will conduct the business should be a matter well considered and without the addition of dirty flings so prevalent in past politics. It speaks well for the community and its future. Its only about seven weeks until Christmas and those week® will fly past almost before we know it. Its time for the merchants to be thinking about it. It would be fine if we put on a trade early campaign by decorating the city properly, trimming the windows and announcing a month ahead the list of gifts from which selections can be made. The more pep we put into such a campaign the better for every one. A good many voters can well remember the day when a Decatur city warrant was not worth par by any means, when it was necessary for members of the council to personally guarantee payment of bills before coal and other supplies could be bought. Its different now. The city discounts its bills and has money in the bank, with a lower tax rate than before and better conveniences. THINK IT OVER and then vote. A year in prison and a hundred thousand dollar fine was the dose given Mr Fall, once a member of President Harding's cabinet and the court did not grant a suspension. Its a tough dose but it seems as though one convicted of treason to his government. of using his high office to secure private gain, should have a bitter dose. Folks ought to realize that wrong doing is punishable no difference what one's rank or age or physical condition may be. James Patchell, postmaster, newspaper publisher and all around leader of affairs at Union City gave a forward looking talk at the Rotary meeting this week. He believes a city the size of Itecatur or Union City which does not have an airport in ten years from now will resemble a hamlet without a railroad: He cited facts showing the growth of airplane traveling and said we are just starting. At this time when suitable grounds adjacent to the cities can be purchased at a low price, he thinks we should

At least he gave i the boys something to think about. * We have called attention to a > i number of the Improvements made 1 by the present administration towards efficiency and economy but we have never mentioned the fact that some of the most important steps were those in the conduct of the various clerical offices. An accountant keeps exact data of every transaction and the records of the various expenses and receipts. Courtesy and exactness are the slogans In the city offices. Until four years ago all the expenses were met by tax. Now all of the expense, including salaries with the exception of 1300 is paid from the earnings of the light, power and water divisions. The total amounts to several thousand dollars and your attention at this time is called to the fact because it means actual savings to each citizen. A four-cent tax reduction under the present administration means the saving of several dollars a year to each average tax payer. Your light rate is one cent less per kilowatt titan it was a few years ago, a saving of one-eighth of your bill. Your insurance rates are twenty per cent less. Your city plant is worth more money than it ever was. You have made a good return on your investments in Decatur based on such a record. We are not talking blindly or are we attempting to fool you in any way. We were never more serious and we hope you will investigate the records to confirm any statement we have made. We believe the citizens of Decatur will approve such a record as has been made by the democratic administration by voting for the ticket next Tuesday. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Black Silk To clean black silk, brush and wipe it well, lay on a flat table right side up, and sponge with hot coffee which has been strained through muslin.
