Somer.hing to shoot at is always worth while. i We presume by the time the f news *lory-»bout fifty communists 1 being arre-ted in front of the White House reached Russia it i •■■■ was very similar to many of the ( stories which from time to time ' come from there, the homeland of ’, the "reds.” The Good Fellow fund is over the two hundred mark and should ; be doubled this week. You know that this is just about the end of . it for a week from tomorrow is when the • distribution must be made, Jkm’t wait any longer. Drop ' your bit in tomorrow. The 1930 program of the state I highway commission includes the taking over a couple of thousand miles of additional road and the paving of five hundred miles. Those communities which show ' the greatest pep will be ones beneI fitted and we should get busy early in the year and land the one already tentatively taken over between here and Willshire. * ——.1..!. — — , Instead of calling a special session of the legislature to provide funds io keep the schools going it might be better to use the money such a- session would cost for that purpose. That would help con--1 sideratily and we would thus avoid < j the troubles caused by a deluge of bills and additional expenses which i ‘ usually result when the law makers get together. School sports and school con- , tests are fine unless people become »o enthusiastic as to say and do things they shouldn't. It should be remembered that sports are meant to teach the boys and girls to be clean, square and polite and that the various scheduled events should prove friendship builders rather than occasions when enem- , ies ar# made. If ySu knew absolutely that you could make a hundred dollars per acre, net, by raising sugar beets next year, would vou do it? We can't guarantee that of course, nor . can the sugar company but they ' can refer you to a number of reI ! liable .farmers who did that and I better t-he past year. With good weathbr and a little effort you can produce more profits from this crop than ajiy other we know of. -— — * WiQiam- Teeple’s story of the [ weather fifty-two years ago being the same as this year is correct, but one thing is vastly different and that is the roads. In the old days when the rainy seasons came. It was next to impossible to travel to and from town aud many an old timer can tell of experiences similar to Mr. Tecpie's. One of the really splendid improvements of the past quarter century has been the new highways.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE London.—"He looks at her, takes bis eyes off the road, and then comes the crash," a London magistrate said in commenting on the prevalence of motor accidents. » < Its a little late to shop early but just the time to do it and hundreds will be busy this week and the first of next. Decatur stores are filled with wonderful gifts of every kind and at the very best price* you will find. Besides that you have the guarantee of local firms back of tlie sales. Visit the Decatur stores at once and see the many attractive Christmas articles that will prove to be just what you want. The sugar factory at Findlay, Ohio, closed last year and the Chamber of Commerce there is making a strenous effort to secure proper acreage so it can be operated next year. Bulletins sent out by that body announces that the community had a direct loss of several hundred thousand dollars. Similar reports come from other places where the plants have been forced to close because of lack of proper support. We should take advantage of the experience in those towns and avoid such a catastrophe here. Everyone in this community are happy that the Reformed church congregation in this city has realized their hope of many years to have a modern pipe organ. The dedication yesterday was a fitting one for the occasion and the smiles of the faithful members who have made the achievement possible were genuine. It was all very delightful, entertaining, inspiring and helpful. We congratulate Rev. Fledderjohann and tis committee which included Messrs. A. R. Ashbaucher, Leo Kirsch, Ferd Litterer and E. A. Goldner. We are very proud indeed of our churches and the wonderful work being accomplished by them and folks of every faith join with those of the Reformed church in feeling elated over another real accomplishment which will add to the interest and consequently to the possibilities of their organization." o * ~ 4 Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE * . 4 Q.

Dec 16. —(U.R) — Temporary Insanity will be the plea by which James Wood, 30, confessed slayer of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Heath, aged farmers of near Muncie, will attempt to win mercy from the court which tries him on a charge of first degree murder, he has indicted. "I’ve been having spells of some kind ever since the war,’’ Wood told police. "When I'm in one of those spells I guess I don't know what I’m doing I don't know why I killed them (the Heaths). They were the finest old folks 1 ever met." Woods made a detailed statement of events preceding and following the crime. He related how he had planne dto go to the Heath home for money to make good some bad checks, but said he had not pre-meditated the .double murder. He got only sls, he said, which Mrs. Heath handed to him, after which he struck her down with a club. A special grand jury will convene tomorrow and is expected to return an indictment charging Wood with first degree murder. He is expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, when arraigned. Prosecutor Joe H. Davis has said that he wil lask the death penalty for Wood. The death penalty has never been invoked in Delaware county.
