It may be old fashioned but can't help but feel that a mother looks better holding a safety pin In her mouth as she dresses baby than she does with a cigarette. Santa Claus may still make his annual trip with his old time sleigh and reindeers. The weather man believes the cold snap will continue over a week and perhaps keep right on going. We are glad the senate is going to investigate the Federal Farm Relief Board for that will keep us 1 all in mind that there is such a 1 board. Most folks had forgotten ' that such an organization was ever 1 completed. ___________. Warnings have been sent out that another smooth guy is successfully passing counterfeit sloo bills. The next handful you get be sure to look them over and if the green ink is too dark or Franklin’s picture too fine a screen you will know you are being fooled. We have the tax reduction out of the way and the senators and congressmen can now go ahead and quarrel as hard as they wish to about swell trivial things as helping the farmer, equalizing the tariff, planning things to aid the American people and getting every thing they want from Santa Claus. When good fellows get together happiness always reigns and enough of them dropping a coin in the fund sponsored by the Delta Theta Tati, will assure joy on Christmas day for a lot of poor boys -*nd girls and some of the older folks. Don't pass up this opportunity to do good. While they are discussing ways „ and means for preventing war, some one might suggest that pay- * ment in advance would probably , do it. War costs so much that if a nation had to raise the cash be- ~ fore they began operations, the ” actual battling would be passed on * to other generations and they I might see things differently. If you have driven out in the " country the past day or two it ~ won't require any argument to ' convince you that every one truck- ' ing over the macadam highways should use extra care. The roads were never much softer than they i have been this week and one truck J can cause more damage than can ' be put back in months. Three large federal prisons are | so be erected at once, more money is to be appropriated to enforce the laws, the various states must add to cell room, every institution is crowded and the commission appointed by the president

The new man has served in a similar capacity in lowa and many believe he will be able td keep up the speed shown by Dr. Shumaker. Just what his program will be has not been definitely announced. The democratic central committee of Alabama has declared Senator Heflin disqualified to run as a democrat for renomination. Since they base that opinion on the fact that the loud mouthed gentleman campaigned his state for Mr. Hoover in the last campaign, that seems to be about the proper step. Heflin declares he will run as an independent and indications for a; warm scrap could not be brighter. Remember that yon can save money, please your friends and do a good turn for the community by using Decatur made cigars for your Christmas gifts. If they are made here you are helping the manufacturer. the employee and the store from which you buy. That’s far reaching and the same thing applies to other articles made in Decatur, such as candy, 11101011!, ice cream, cheese and other goods. Two Adams county young men thought they coiihf make some easy money by picking up a few she<‘p and selling them in another market, but they will be sorry the rest of their lives. Pleading guilty, they have been sentenced to terms of one to ten years in the Pendleton reformatory The punishment may seem a little heavy but its the law and thats the chance every law violator takes. Every young man should make up his mind that after all the only path to follow is the straight one. It may not be so alluring or so full of thrills but its the safe and happy one. * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ——♦ Dec. 18 —Winners in the Democritic county piimary were: Jacob Butcher representative; R.
