Some three thousand republican office holders and clerks will be out of jobs the first of. the year but of course that won't bother them any with Hoover prosperity abroad. The Indiana public service commission favors state rights when it comes to the Federal government taking over tne regulation of utilities as now proposed. The commission while republican is now talking democratic doctrine but that's nothing. A good many are talking it along other lines these days and not without cause. John 1). Rockefeller has tossed another couple of million dollars in the lap of the trustees of the Chicago I niversity. this money to lie used to build a club house for students from foreign lands. That should provide a good one. It makes a tothl of 516,000,000 that the Rockefeller family has given this university, a sum that ought to make a very good school anyplace. Here is some more good road news. The state highway commission has announced they will take over 2,000 miles more of roads and the list of those under consideration includes the eight miles from here to the Ohio state line near Willshire. This does not mean of course that we should cease efforts but that we have a good chance to get it if we .work hard enough. With only a few days left the citizens of Decatur will have to pep up if they wish to equal last year's record for Red Cross memberships. Up to Saturday only about three hundred Decaturites had paid annual dues which are one dollar while last year the total was over 500. There is no better cause than the Red Cross and even if it deprives us of something else we should continue our memberships. Indiana has an automobile for every family according to the registrations at the secretary of state's office and two months to go yet before the year closes. Adams county has more than ■1.400 cars, not including the more than five hundred trucks. It would be easy to move every body in the <ounty or in the state out on their own wheels if it was necessary and other states are right in line with the records shown here. You need not excite yourself about the small pox situation here. It is in fact much better here titan in most places. At this season of the year this disease usually breaks out and spreads through the country and the towns and cities. There is just one safe thing to do and that, is to be. vaccinated. ,The board of health is urging this and you should cooperate with them. There is a decided better trend in business and indications now are that 1030 will at least start off with a spirit of progress that should make it a great business year. Besides the cooperation of Ng business, the Federal gnd State governments will do much public work, providing plenty of employment and keeping the wheels of progress moving. Decatur jihould keep step and we are confident will.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Knutsford Cheshire, Eng.,—(UP) —Authorities offering the local prison for sale eniphaaize that murdefers' bodies have been removed and the execution shed dismantled. Georges Clemenceau. Tiger of France, whose eighty-eight years were spout iu always boosting and fighting for the nation he loved and whose efforts during the World War were largely responsible for the victory of the allied powers, is dead. His life story is one that will interest every one tor it is full of the thrills and the successes which are rarely found outside of Action. He was widely beloved in France aud the sorrow felt there now is genuine. For three weeks the financial kings of America were worried because of break after break In the stock market due to manipulations of business gamblers. Immediately a conference of America's leading industrial giants is called to relieve the situation. How different it has been with the farmers who have been suffering for six or seven years aud are quietly told they will have to work out their own salvation by raising less crops or borrowing more money. Just give it a little serious thought. More than forty thousand dollars in Christmas savings will be distributed the next fortnight by the three Decatur banks. It will come in mighty handy for those who get it and will prove an excellent tonic for business. We hope the amount a year from now is two or three times that and it can easily be if every one makes up his mind to start with one of the clubs to open soon. Watch for the bank announcements and be one of those to draw a nice sum down about December Ist of 1930. We will vote next year on the ques tion of whether or not Indiana will hold a constitutional convention and already there seem to be many in favor of it because of the feeling that a change is necessary in our tax laws. Under present conditions real qstate is carrying too great a load and there are other changes which would no doubt prove advantageous. However, writing a new constitution is a very dangerous thing to espouse unless we should be fortunate enough to select the right folks to do that job. Its something we should all be thinking rather seriously about. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Chapped Lips An excellent salve for chapped lips can be made by mixing 20 parts of white wax. 40 parts of spermaceti, 10 parts oil of sweed almonds, and 80 parts of perfectly pure aud fresh lard.

A Breakfast Food Substitute Dry some stale bread thoroughly and brown it in the oven, then grind it fine with a food chopper or rolling pin and it will make a good breakfast food if served with milk or cream. oMODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it all right to refuse some certain dish at a luncheon? A. No. At a luncheon, where but few dishes are served, it would be inconsiderate to do so. At a large dinner where there are many dishes this is all right. Q. When introducing one's family to a friend, should one say. “Meet my mother, Mrs. White"? A. No. A friend is already familiar with the family name. Q. What breach of etiquette probably hastens more divorces than any other A. Rudeness of husbands and wives towards each other’s friends. 0 • TWENTY YEARS AGO ’ • Twenty Years Ago Today * • From the Daily Democrat Fi’e • Nov. 24—Union Thanksgiving services tomorrow morning at U.

O—i — OBITUARY Mary Evelyn Hill, daughter of Henry and Alma Hill, was born August 30, 1906, in Washington township, Adams county, and departed this life November 10th, 1929. aged 23 years. 2 mouths and 10 day#. She waited long on God, And He forsook not; through the gloomy vale She leant upon His staff until His rod Brake forth in blossoms pale. Then did her spirit bless The gracious token; then she saw the rife Salt-crusted standing pools of bitterness Spring up as wells of life. —Dora Greenwell. Thus through suffering and uffiction her life was made sweeter. Her Saviour did not forsake her but grew dearer day by day. She came to have a greater interest in the work of the church, espcially her Sunday school class and the Christian Endeavor work. Throughout the long days of suffering she was cheerful and greeted her friends with a smile. Mary was graduated from the Decatur high school in 1926 and attended the Hall Teacher's college at ManIcie for one semester. Because of ill health she was unable Ao continue with her studies. Later she was employed at the local General Electric plant, where she worked for three years. Early in her teens she was converted and united with the United Brethren church, here, in Decatur. The church soon absorbed her interests. Suffering and affliction did not lessen this interest but brought it closer to her. She was faithful until the end. She leaves to mourn her early departure, the sorrowing parents; one sister Josephine, and three brothers. Curtis, Robert and Voyle; several aunts and uncles; a large family circle, a host of friends and associates. There was real worth in this young life —worth to her home, worth to the Sunday school, worth to the <’. E. society, worth in the community’s industry, and in all seriousness, worth to God. If there is anything earthly that would picture her character it l.t sunlight and flowers. If there is anything heavenly that portrays her nature, it is love.

CLEMENCEAU IS BURIED TODAY Final Tribute Is Paid To War-Time Premier Os French Republic By Ralph Heinzen (United Press Staff Correspondent) Saint Vincent Cur Jard, France. Nov. 05—(UP)— Amid the tangled briars of a Woodland grave in his beloved vendee. the body of Georges Clemenceau was laid to rest today with all the simplicity asked in his dying requqest. While cannons throughout the nn tion boomed their tribute to the "Father of Victory”, the simple unstained oaken box which held the shell of the fierce old warrior was lowered into the soft mud of the open grave which years ago the tiger had prepared for himself beside the grave of his father. His faithful servants, Albert aud Francois, loved almost as his own children, lowered the oaken box iuto the grave shortly before noon. In every respect, save one, the dying wishes of the Tiger were observed. There was no religious ceremony at the grave. The Tiger had not wished it. He had refused it as he lay dying only to have benediction pronounced after he had passed into unconscionness. Only Clemenceau’s wish that he be buried "standing up" was not observed His son and two daughters had overruled that request and the casket was laid horizontally in the grave which had been cleaned of leaves by the servant Francois Brabant. "Dig the ground out of the hold and soften up the bdttom so that when I lie there it will be soft," the Tiger had ordered. Francois did that less than 34 hours ago. Strong gusts of rain and wind from the Atlantic, stirred the leaves in the Briars of the Tiger's burial plot. His grave was as near as possible to that which his father was buried years ago "standing up,” With all its simplicity and ceremony was most impressive because it represented the sible ending of one of the greatest careers of contemporary French history. Rings of gendarmes kept back thousands of curious, journalists and photographers. while only a few of the late statesman's closest friends stepped through the barbed wire fence to the side of the grave. The ceremony lasted only three minutes. On the top of the oaken box a few flowers were scattered. They included the withered pale blue blossoms presented to Clemenceau by a French Corporal in 1917.

No attempt had been made to tidy the woods for the ceremony. The Tiger for years had rested attempts to clear out hie beloved woode overlooking the Styx-like river Petit piy. After the others had departed, Albert and Francois stood with bared heads in the chilly drizzle. Albert had ridden with Hie motor hearse which carried the Tiger's body; Francois, by the old order of his master had prepared the grave. The cortege, guarded by police, had altered its course to avoid throngs and mouchamps where It rejoined the procession. Far off the' beaten path, the burial plot was not accessible to the motor hearse and it was necessary to carry the coffin through the sticky mud to the foot of the helmeted minerva, where it was lowered to its final resting place. There the Tiger will sleep his “dreamless sleep" lulled by the gusts from the sea and cushioned by the soft earth of vendee,
