Get the leaves off the yard and give Commissioner Fisher a chance to clean the city streets before the bad weather really starts. In should prove satisfactory to you and we know it will to the street force. Stocks took another tumble yesterday and efforts to stem the tide have been exhausted. They will have to straighten themselves out as they eventually will, once the gamblers get their fill of the game, which certainly can't be far off. Keeping a menagerie in the city is never a very satisfactory thing, especially for the neighbors who complain if your chickens, dogs, cats or other pets roam around. Your rights usually end where those of the other fellows begin. President Hoover is having as hard a time to laso Senator Moses as he is to get any where with the wild "sons of jackasses’’ from the prairie country. Expect his excellency feels he has had more pleasant jobs during his varied career as a public man. We are glad to have opinions from our readers on various matters of general interest, not on personal affairs, but we require the signature of the person sending in the item. We need not print your name if you do not wish it but we must know the genuineness of the article. Os course all the money being lost om Wall street must be a benefit to some one but we don't hear of those who are making money while the poor devil loses it. Perhaps they are fewer ttban when every hotly was buying on an up trend but they must be some where in the picture. The New York court has reduced the $75,000 damages allowed one of the night club girls there to $25,000. She gets that because Harry Thawgot mad and spanked her with a slipper. The price seems a little high yet and its probable Harry can find a lot of girls who will take a good spanking for less than that. The American Legion will get back of a plan to institute an airport near Decatur. In that they should have the support of every wide awake citizen for the time is ndhr when much traveling will be done by plane and the towns and cities which do not have a proper landing field will be out of luck. We hope the boys go into the matter carefully and succeed in working out a definite and sensible plan as we believe they will if they get at it in earnest. The wet weather has caused much inconvenience to the local sugar plain, making it almost impossible to keep the beets coming in fast enough to prevent a shut down. For a week or more the big mill has been operating only at half speed and the continued rains indicate that will have to continue to the end of the run. Tough luck, but we don’t know of any thing that can be done. However we can make it up by renewing our efforts to get a larger acreage for next year with the hope that all conditions will improve as we believe they will. The plan of James A- Arnold, vice-
TODAY’S CHUCKLE Independence, Kans. — (UP) — Justice Is swift in Montgomery r _ County. Os 12 men charged wl'h r. bank robbery here in the past five t years all have been captured and convictedpresident of lite Southern Tariff Asso--2 0 elation to "whiten the republican r. party by /blackening the democrat 0 party" would surely never have workK “ ed and like most schemes of that i) j kind has already become a boomerang that will hurt more than it ever could have helped those who sponsored ft. We doubt if there is a state in the Union where a negro could be > elected to congress on the democratic ticket. The surprise is that a man the size that the vice-president is supposed to be would even consider , such a deal, even in politics. The rainy weather of the past month has brought the usual highI way problem it.o Superintendent Magley and his assistants. It will continue more or less through the winter. You know without being told that those whp strive constantly to keep the highways in the best possible condition and who have a difficult job, will appreciate any cooperation , you can give them. Please be as careful as you can about overloading your trucks. Its so easy to ruin the roads and so hard to get them back in condition. Perhaps a little real ( effort now will help a great deal dur- 1 ing the months to come. -1 Shopping is brisk in Decatur for those merchants who are pushing ’ their business. Yesterday many of the stores made new high marks and t the outlook for the next several weeks is very bright. The Christmas shopping will soon be on, in fact has be- s gun already and the wise buyers are 1 making their selections early to avoid t the rush. There is after all no reason ' to wait until ten days before Christ- . mas to start shopping. You know you have it to do and you will find it much more pleasant to start look- . ing around right now. The Decatur stores have just what you want at the right price. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE The Clothesline To clean the clothesline and to prevent clothes frqm freezing to it in the winter, rub the line with a mixture of equal parts of baking soda and salt, sprinkle on a damp cloth. Or, boil the line occasionally in strong salt water. This also cleans clothespins. An Excellent Salad Add a teaspoon of currant jelly on a little pat of cottage or cream cheese, place on a crisp lettuce leaf which has been well dressed with French dressing. Hemstitching To draw threads in hemstitching i easily, scrub them with a wet brush which has been rubbed over a bar of ‘ soap.

H. A. Hartman Leads New School Fight I H. A. Hartman, former superintendent of the Decatur schools and now holding a similar position at Sidney. Ohio, where he has been located the last nine years is quite jubilant over the result of an election just held there In which $250,000 was voted for the building of a new grade school. Mr. Hartman led the fight mid ten days before the election it looked as (hough sentimdnt was much against such « bond issue. He published a circular “Why does Sidney need better school facilities" and the Mother s Club of that city followed that with a letter urging the ini provement with the result that It carried by a vote of three to one. *— ■' - - -O” "*'*• ♦ — Pleasant Mills H. S. Notes The high school and faculty were the guests of the freshmen class at a party at the high school building Friday evening. Games were played and at a late hour lunch was served by the class. The honor roll for Ithe month of October held only two names, they were Glenn Ray and Hazel Hilton. The boys started practicing for basketball today. No one knows yet who will make the team. Nearly all the boys in high school were down to practice. We have rented a building in Pleasant Mills for the boys to practice in. The first debate of the Junior-Sen-ior English class was on the question "Resolved. That the Nation should have a standing army." On the affirmative side were Glenn Ray. Herman Patterson, and Eldred Shifferely. The negatives were Mabie Smith, Aiisrin MerrimaiW and Charles Brunstrop. Cecil Edgell acting chairman, and Norman Noack, secretary. The rest of the class acted as judges, and as a result the vote was a tie. Another debate was held yesterday. The question was, “Resolved, That the United States Should Have Compulsory Military Training tor Youths Between the Ages of 18 and 20.” The teams taking the same side as before. Negatives headed by Mabie Smith were the winners. The next debate was on the question, "Resolved, That United States should join the League of Nations.” Affirmative were Cecil Edgell, Roy Smith, and Frances Johns. Negative were Lawrence Elirsam, Norman Noack. and Earl Nyffeler. The affirm- 1 ative team won. Mr. Edwards of the Edwards Studio of Decatur met w’ith the seniors today to decide on folders for class pictures.

ANNA BANTA “For three years I endured a complication of health troubles that included kidney, trouble, disorders of the stomach, constipation and neuritis." sa'd Mrs. Anna Banta, 1239 Cross Hall street. Richmond, Ind. "Life was a constant round of intense suffering. Aches and pains were ray constant companions — many afterdating symptoms and disturbances thru the nigiit prevented me from eating or sleeping as I should. "Neighbors insisted that I try Koniola. In three weeks Konjola ended three years of suffering. Today there isn't a trace of any of my former ailments. I enjoy life and health just like any other happy, normal person. Konjola is surely the master medicine of them all, and I wish every woman In America could read what I’ say here.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at B. J. Smith Drug Co., drug store, and by ail the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section, — Colds are serious. Even mild cases are dangerous. Remember KONJOLA COLD COMPOUND (tablets) is giving amazing relief to thousands of cold sufferers ; every year. These tablets are of 1 the same high quality as Konjola.
