Inc 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dailies A good way to start this week is by giving something towards the Good Fellow club fund. That ought to bring you good luck. Its still just time to take out a membership in one of the bank Christmas Savings Clubs which is a fine thing for those who do it I as well as for the community. Start at once. The first- few days of the Good i Fellow drive brought a total of eighty dollars. That’s about onefourth of the sum necessary and even a little more than usual can be well used this year. Don’t miss , doing your part in this. Only a dozen more shopping days so every one must count. This week is just an ideal time to take care of the major part of this job. You can make it eaeier by following, the advertisements in the Daily Democrat. Charles Mercer, trustee of Pigeon township, Marion county was indicted by the grand ury for padding his accounts and so the state tax board is investigating to ’ see if he should be removed. Why not promote him if he’s that good? We are informed that the membership to Christmas Savings Clubs in Decatur are the largest this year for a long time. Join the rest of the crowd and make sure of securing one of the handsome and convenient checks next December. Chicago has had 104 bombings .this year and with a little effort may reach the 125 mark as they ' have three more weeks in which to work. They have lost track of i the number of murders but there were enough to supply thrills for the nation for ten years. Senator Vare has again been counted out by the members of the upper house but he’s a game old rooster and returning to his consistuency announced among cheers that he would continue to be a candidate until he squeezed »through. The Western Conference has | booted lowa out of the Big Ten in ■ifootball and other sports. We j doubt if they know just why for ithe answer* filed by the university seems to have been fair and we doubt very much if they have done as much towards professionalizing sports as some of the other colleges. We believe there is entirely too muc4 of tliat in all the colleges and even in the larger schools, but lowa lias had to do {some of it to keep up. ! Maintaining modern schools in -/some of tlie counties, in the south ' 'part of the state where one good building would be worth as much II as Hie entire township valuation is getting to be quite a problem. In several townships the total assers•ed valuation is only about $300,000 'and with road debts and other qhinp-. tn meet it looks like a mis-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Paris, Tenn.—After becom- | lug tired of serving as nurse i maid to a flock of circus animals, Sheriff Baker recently sold the stranded Gentry Hrothers' circus here for SIO,OOO, "with pleasure," ns he expressed it. » ~(U,R) — ♦ stonary campaign throughout the state is necessary unless state or federal aid is extended. Schools and roads are problems every where but in some of the poor townships the question is almost impossible to solve. Sponsored by the members of the American Legion, efforts are now under way to secure a government veteran hospital to relieve the deplorable condition that exists among the disabled soldiers of Indiana. Bills have been introdocued by Congressman Elliot of Connersville and Mrs. Edith N. I Rogers. The Elliof bill is being; supported because it is believed to be the adequate one to take care of the disabled men. This year more than five hundred veterans of the World War sent to hospitals and a number of applications have been temporarily held up from lack of facilities. We never visit the library that we do not sympathize with the librarians. They not only are expected to furnish the visitor with just the right reading material but they are expected to furnish the exact information desired for any purpose and they seem happiest when they can do so. They are also a bureau of information and • it is wonderful wliat know-ledge they can impart either with or without reference and they can always, it seems, turn immediately to the page in the proper book to find just what is wanted. “What is a Japanses love tree?” “What is the plural of a derby hat?” “What's the quotation about a woman being ; only a woman?’’, the librarian’s! day is filled with a hundred questions like these, taking in the whole range of human thought. And now we get to the point we started for, do we appreciate the splendid service so well rendered by Miss Annette Moses and her assistants? The library is a great public institution and Decatur has one of the best ones we know of and it 'has been conducted for many years in a more than satisfactory manner. o ♦ —♦ Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Hanging out Clothes Wet the hands with vinegar and dry well before hanging out clothes, This keeps the hands from chapping.

Two American men. Walter Fischle and a man named | Killper, were abducted at the same time, and the five were held i for ransom. Finally the women were released, but the men were kept captives. Tlie women proceeded to Swatow where they boarded the Malching for its trip to Hong Kong, Mrs. Campbell and Louise were attached to the Methodist School at Caying and Dorothy was superI intendent of the Martha Threser Memorial hospital at Swatow. I Dorothy was proceeding to the United States for a vacation while her mother and sister had intended to return to Caying. Louise Campbell telling her story of their perils aboard the Matching said the pirates had boarded the ship at Swatow as passengers and did not disclose their true purpose until early ’n i the morning when they assembled ;and stormed the bridge. Mi s. Campbell and her daughters were awakened from their sleep iby the commoL’on on deck. Hearing the sound of a furious gun

battle, they dreased. but remained in their cabin to hide their valuables and await developments, Only four officers and a handful of Indian Chinese defended the bridge when the pirate* first attacked, but they held their position against the assault for an hour, firing all the while. Twice the pirates charged the bridge and were repulsed. The officers threw electric torches to one side of the deck to attract the pirates in that direction and then sent a volley of gun fire into their midst. The pirates retaliated by setting fire to the ship. The American women recovered their valuables, wrapped themselves in blankets and went on deck. They found the life boats swarming with Chinese and decided to remain on deck until the flames reached them and then jump into the sea. Awaiting the approach of the flames, the women administered to the wounded. Most of the pirates either had jumped overboard or had lieen wounded. Many of them attempted to hide their identity as pirates by mixing with the Chinese passengers. Tlie pirates had been unable to prevent tlie wireless operator from sending out calls for help and the immediate answer of the British destroyer came alongside, followsaved the women from death.
