This is the week to start your Christmas Savings club. You can do it any time this month but by starting now you can keep right up with the crowd without any burden. A little change, a dollar or two subscribed to the Good Fellow fund wiil provide more pleasure for some boy or girl in this community at Christmas time than can possibly be purchased any other way. The national budget includes an appropriation of some fifteen million dollars for enforcement of the prohibition laws which might be forgiven if it were not for the fact that th" more we spend in that manner, the greater the violations pile up. Th,e healthiest boy in the United States lives in Morgan county, Indi- 1 ana, according to the decision of the judges in the big International show, lie has never played basketball or football but we would not say thats the reason he is so healthy. His name is Harold Deatline. Next week will be a wonderful time to do your Christmas shopping, just right in fact, not so far away as to make it seem foolish and still far enough off that you can have the advantage of the large stocks to select from. If you haven’t finished the job or haven't started, next week will be a ’fine time. Decatur stores never looked more attractive than this year and we are stij'e you will find in them the greatest bargains of fine goods you will set* any where. Take a few hours off and visit them. You may be surprised at what you can find and at the values you can get for the money you spend. There are some indications of the roads softening up to that point where every one should again be as careful as possible. Help Superintendent Magley and his force keep the highways in the splendid condition they have been the past several months. One truck in a few minutes can cause damage that will take days of work and a lot of money to repair. Kendallville merchants opened the holiday trading season wdth a cooperative effort and the News-Sun yesterday carried sixteen pages of advertising announcing the attractions to be found in the various stores. It was a splendid edition in every way and the publisher and the merchants are to be congratulated upon their enterprise. There are many things to be don<* on the 1930 program that will help this community and these will be called to your attention from time to time. The very first resolution it seems should be to take such action as is necessary to give every reason able assistance to those industries now located here. Boost them and others will want to come where this is done consistently and earnestly. That advertising is a worth-while investment is demonstrated by the fact mat the greatest stores in the country use it extensively. The largest display we have ever seen

The Halliburton-Abbott Company of that city used thirty-two solid pages announcing a sale In commemoration of "forty-seven years of. progress.’’ The store is said to be’ one of the greatest in the southwest. A proposal Is forward in Washington that the federal government make $300,000,000 available as aid to state road building—sso,ooo,ooo to be added to the provision each for the years 1932 and 1933. That would furnish employment as -well as provide additional fine highways. Indiana can.not issued bonds to get in on this in a larger way, but we have a legislature that is. handy at boosting the gasoline tax. — Fort Wayne JournalGazette. There is something to be thankful about in the recent report of the Bank of America on the bonded in debtedness of the various states. While the total is over two billion dollars. Indiana ranks forty-fourth. The excellent showing thus made by our state is due to the fact that we cannot under the constitution bond the state for road purposes as most of the states have created their huge debt in order to build highways and bridges and, this seems to increase each year. The state of New Yo>k has a bonded indebtedness of more than $355,000,000 while Illinois is second with over-$200,000,000. The outstanding obligations of Indiana, according to the report -shows only $340,000. However we have some other financial difficulties that are worrying those in power. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE The Christmas Tree Place the Christmas tree in a pail of dirt and keep the earth moist to prevent the tree from shedding its needles.
