Don't put it off. start your Christmas Savings club this week. Each of the three Decatur banks have them and its the easiest and i ** Z l>est way to save a little for next - year’s shopping. , ' Colored lights along Second ~ street, indicating the Christmas I " season, should aid in arousing t 2 every one to the right pitch to make this the happiest holidays ever known here. If Senators Blaine and Heflin ; can hold up the tax reduction resolution it should be evidence suf--2 ficlent that more attention should ! • have been paid to the efforts of * the Jormer vice-president, Mr. - Dawes, to change the rules. Have you opened an account in one of the Christmas Savings Clubs? Its easy to do and the weeks will slip by bpfore you know * it. When you get a nice check - just before time to do your shop ping next year you will be glad . you have saved a little each week * It cost Mr. Vare $785.1)00 to bt elected to the United States senate and all he gets is an over supply of unfavorable publicity. Jus what a fellow who could throw ou ■* that much coin wanted with a jot « is more than most folks can figure ” but it seems that’s just when they ■ * want those soft places. We hope you like the eight columns. It is the style of newspaper now most popular in the United States and provides a* many extra columns of space as there are pages, giving us room for more news each day and will we believe prove popular as you L ** become used to it. i — — : , The Washington grand jury which investigated the Walter > Z Fahy dinner, at which various j kinds of liquor was served from ‘ hidden places beneath the tables, ' evidently does not think much of the evidence of Senator Brookhart and some of the others who claim ■ to have beer there and to have 1 44 both seen and tasted. ' It is estimated that the 1330 census will give Decatur a population of about 5,700 or a gain of 1,000 j , in ten years, equal to twenty per * cent. While that is not as rapid ‘ its many would like, it shows a it ' steady and substantial improvement. lies,t. of all we have grown !, because people can find employment here under excellent living conditions and are happy, which after all are the main tilings.

After Police Chief Homer t Kell brought hint into court, Webb charged Chief Kell had passed another sign in : r (basing him. Kell pleaded j guilty and paid $lO also. I ! ♦ — ♦ ) —— I trend in the present congress not > to aid the farmer. To be sure a ' kind of a farm relief measure was > i passed but so far it has failed to 1 "take" It seems and about all the ' average fellow can glean from what lias been done is that it Is to be a sort of a loan proposition to those properly organized. Just now a billion dollars worth of farm produce is coming into this country from foreign lands and through the farmers are doing every thing possible to stop that and to provide a better home market, they meet with rebuff after rebuff. We don't understand it for it would seem that If the billion dollars was kept here, every industry would have some chance to get a part of it. We congratulate Lawrence Archbold upon ltis selection to be county agent for the best community in the state of Indiana and we ire sure the county board of eductaion will be proud of their choice after the new official has had the opportunity to qualify. Mr. Archbold is in every way fitted to serve the people in the capacity to which he has been chosen and w'e predict for him a very successful career in office. He is a graduate of the Decatur high school, Purdue university, a chemist and lias had several years experience in agricultural work with sugar compan- ] es. He knows how to meet people, tas initiative and should prove of \ treat aid to the country and its 1 wonderful agricultural possibilities, j Mr. Christen who retires at the ?nd of the year to accept another position has made an excellent rec-
