By the way a very nice Christmas gift for each of the children would be to start them in a Christmas Savings club. Now is the time for all Good Fellows to come to the aid of the boys and girls of this community so they can be assured of a Merry Christmas. The only real sure way so far devised to keep the radiator from freezing is to keep it in a warm room and hitch old Dobbin to the shay. Buenos Aires is suffering from the severest heat waves known there in years but its a long ways there and 1 part of the walking is bad and Christ- < mas is coming and every thing. They might pick out a committee of congressmen and senators and send them down to investigate the south pole and who owns it. That would relieve the president, if properly chosen and the people as well. Floyd Williams, mayor of Gary, is evidently so disgusted because his opponent. Rosswell O. Johnson was elected, that he has resigned, effective the 15th. Henry Hay, city controller will be mayor for the balance of the year. If your radio doesn’t work properly the next few days, you can, accord ing io Dr. J. J. Nassau, director of the observatory of Case school, blame it to a new large spot that just appeared on the sun. He estimates it is 35.000 miles in diameter. In your rush of getting ready for Christmas, don’t overlook starting Decatur banks. They have just sent Decatur banks. The yhave just sent out checks totaling more than forty thousand dollars and we hope next year it will be doubled. An Indiana county has adopted a rule that poor aid will not be extended to persons owning automobiles. Looks as if they can pay for a license, a four-cent gasoline tax and the other luxuries of owning a car, they might by being careful get along with out the township providing them food and clothing. Congratulations to Jimmy Burk, now an Eagle Scout, first Adams county boy to achieve that high honor. It means he has completed all the tests necessary and has risen from rank to rank in the great organization which is so helpful to every lad who wishes to make good and is willing to work at it. Millions of dollars are being distributed this week by the banks over the United States to those who have had saving accounts. Its a wonderful thing in every way. The more we save during the year, the more we can spend for Christmas and the easier it is to provide the things we want so badly. Christmas is always what we make ft and its bigger and better when we make the greatest number happy. Thats the purpose of the Delta Theta Tan in each year reorganizing the Good Fellows club. By that means about three hundred dollars is raised and is used to provide gifts of clothing, toys and candies for the

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Jackson, Miss. —(UP) — Longer skirts were approved in a reforen- ■ dum on fashions among coeds at Millsaps College here. The boys held a •‘rump" election und voted poor boys and girls. Its a great, work I and the more you give the happier J you will be when the glad day comes. 1 John D. Rockefeller, third, has gone I to work at 2(1 Broadway where his father and grandfather each hava had and still have offices. His is a big job for he is the eldest of the children of John D„ second, and they have charge of the greatest fortune so far ever accumulated by one man, something like a billion dollars. Conserving that and giving away the income properly is a job that will keep John D., third, and all his brothers busy during their lives with plenty for the next generation to look after. There is really a good deal of satisfaction with a majority of republicans over the fate of the new tariff bill, which most people regard as a measure meant to reward the big interests for their contributions in the last campaign. When the senate asked for the income tax returns of some of the proposed beneficiaries, there was a wild scramble to get tin-1 der cover, for the figures would have, exposed the fallacy of the demand for a higher tariff as a matter of protection. The sentiment against the bill has grown from the day it was formed.—Hartford City News. o MODERN ETIQUETTE | By ROBERTA LEE Q. What should a man wear at a noon or afternoon wedding? ; A.
