If the past few days have beeu Indian summer we may have to shed our B. V. D.’s before the winter has reached the half way stage. New low records for this season of the year have been established, according to the weather bureau. •* ____________ * Without taking the joy all out of ’* it, we should remember that when prosperity comes through expenditure . of Federal and State funds, its only borrowed for eventually we must pay but if it helps us over the present period, the sun may come out again • and sMne brightly. ' i . The Christmas seal campaign and the annual financial drive for the ■» Salvation Army will open next Mon- “ day. Both are excellent causes, de- “ serving of all the aid you can give. - A little to each will make you feel in -a better holiday mood we are sure and more will be correspondingly 1 „ helpful. —————— Americans are just naturally liber- f - al it seems. A Mrs. Deipomo of New- , ~ ark. New Jersey, is seriously ill with a baffling disease and physicians announced by radio that there was need for blood transfusion, appealing for offers from persons who fe>» they could spare some blood. Seventy people offered to make the sacrifice. The Coolidge administration claimed prosperity was due to the economy i practised while the Hoover forces 1 seem to fee! that the* way to bring • about happiness and to put dollars in < the pockets of every one is to spend 1 it in various ways. Probably a differ- i ence of opinion and likewise of con- ’ ditions. 1 The cold weather has at last made it safe to drive over the roads without ‘ any danger of breaking through and [ without fear of being scolded or arrested for misuse of them. Go to it * but remember that when. the thaw- 1 out comes it will again be your duty < to aid in keeping the highways in as good condition as possible. ' II the heads of the big corporations i don’t change their minds and if they J really go through with what they ( have promised President Hoover and 1 spend the nine billion dollars it is all said to total, it will help keep the _ wolf from* a good many doors the , , next year or so and incidentally ■ should keep the wheels of industry ; turning rapidly. n According to an article in Liberty „ this week, the Al Capene gang does _ a seventy million dollar liquor bus- ' w inesa in Chicago annually and there i . are eight hundred similar gangs. 1 ” though perhaps not with such a field. ' 2 It makes one shudder to read the in- • side story of these law violators for - we are reaching a point where its gouig to lie hard to break up, no dis- ■ ference what the plan used. ’ The public is urged to watch the ’ signals at railroad crossings all the tme and especially when the roads ' are coated with ice. fl’our car may • skid so you can’t stop. The various railroads are making an extra effort at this time to have automobile drivers use extra precautions that the • crossing accidents may be reduced to a minimum and ask year cooperation.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Arras — (UP) — Because their r school teacher "yelled too loud r ‘ and taught too little", several hundi red school boys !u this town went on strike. George Coffin, for several years j the boas of Marion county republicans J and a boss if there ever was one, has ’ finally given up his fight and after > resigning lias gone to Rochester, * Minnesota, for a check up by the famous Mayo Brothers. Probably failing health made it necessary for him to let go but the main thing is that he has quit and they have a chance ( down that way to replace him with a chairman who will consider the public rather than other needs. Do you remember last year after the rush of buying for Christmas was over, you remarked, “well I’ll never let that happen again. I’m going to I start plenty early next year po 1 won’t have to hurry so at the last?” Well, if you didn't say it, the chances i are you thought it. Right now is the' lime to make good on that statement. 1 Start your Christmas shopping at once and take advantage of the large, well selected stocks, the wonderful prices and have the job done so you can be genuinely happy when the ‘ holidays arrive. The board of education will meet 1 soon to select a successor to Ferd Christen, county agricultural agent, who has resigned effective January Ist. This is one of the important jobs in the county for properly conducted the office can interest many young people in remaining on the farms We believe a home man is best for the place, judging from past experiences and we believe the majority of our people feel the same way. Unless the agent knows what is wanted in his territory and knows his people fairly well, he cannot satisfy or please them. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. Should a girl's fiance ever an- j nounce the engagement? A. No. Q. When a lady is guest of the home in the evening, should the host escort her home? A. Yes, unless a car comes for her. Then he assists her down the steps, opens the door of the car and if a taxi, gives the chauffeur directions. Q Does the informality of "open house" give outsiders an opportunity to enter a desired social group? A. Sometimes it is considered an opportunity. but no one of good taste would intrude. Q. If a girl should drop her handkerchief, or any article that she may be holding, should she hasten to pick ti up? A. If she is talking with a man. or one is standing near, wait for him to pick it up. Q. What are a few good rules of etiquette for a man to apply. A. He should never nudge anyone, exchange winks or amused glances, slap any one on the back, or laugh at another's mistake, though ht should always be ready to enjoy another's joke. Q. What could probably be considered the most popular and enjoyable entertainment for guests? A. A dinner, then the theater, is probably the most popular. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Remedy for Burns One of the best remedies lor burns is equal parts of linseed oil and lime water, applied with a soft cloth and then covered with a soft cloth to keep out the air It is welt io keep a bottle of this solution on hand for emergencies. Sweet Potatoes Before putting sweet potatoes in the oven grease them with lard; they will then peel easily with waste. A tablespoon of sugar added to the water in wsich sweet potatoes are boiled will improve the flavor. Toll Calls If a three-minute hourglass is placed by the telephone long-distence toll calls can be timed. The Kitchen Floor Boiled linseed oil applied to the kitchen floor several times a year will give a finish that is easily cleaned. It j may also be painted over the draining board of the sink; this does away with I hard scrubbing. G'oss on Pies To make a r’ch brown gloss on pies, beat up an egg with ». tiny bit of-

BYRDREACHES SOUTH POLE AND RETURNS SAFELY iCOVTIVtKP KRUM PAGE O¥g( ed near Labrador after a flight across the Atlantic in 1928. The other members of the crew were Lieut. Harold I. June, assistant pilot and radio operator, and Capt. Ashley C. McKinley, photographer. Their course of approximately 800 I miles to the pole lay over what is I perhaps the most unfriendly terrain I ever traversed by man. Byrd’s flight I to the north pole was over comparatively level packs of floating ice. but' between Little America and the south ! pole are jagged mountain chains I whose peaks are believed to rise ■ from 10.000 to 15,000 feet. The expedition’s base at the edge ’ .rs the great Antarctic ice barrier is I at an elevation of only 300 feet and . Balchen's feat in guiding the heavily-1 laden plane through the unmapped mountains to the high plateau of the Antarctic continent was hailed by fliers here as a magnificent accomplishment in aviation. Through the New York Times, 1 President Hoover sent the following | message to Byrd; "I know 1 speak for the American i people when 1 express their universal i pleasure at your successful flight I over the south pole. We are proud I of your courage and your leadership 1 We are glad of proof that the spirit' of great adventure etill lives. Our thoughts of appreciation inchide also your companions in the flight and your colleagues whose careful and devoted preparation have contributed r i k AH of us— at some time k ; < or oth*r- fmd ourtf*lvei up against it for «ome ex- | tra monFj.
