May 1930 be the year .you have always hoped so in every way you have ever had. Th.e Ford Automobile company plans to spend thirty million dollars in expansion the coming year and we call their attention to the faet that Decatur would be a , mighty fine place for one of their j new mills. The Chicago gang is said to be ( waiting patiently for their leader, I Al Capone, to be released from a Philadelphia jail to start an uprisi ing that will make all others look I like picnics. Seems as though „ i some other charge might be found whereby the famous •'Scarface” could be held a while. There was no donbt about the 1 enthusiasm of the large number of 1 democrats who gathered at Win- ' Chester last evening for the annual 1 Wilson Day banquet. Speeches by ' such leaders as Fred VanNuys, L. 1 Ert Slack and R. Earl Peters as ' well as by numerous others were ' well received and loudly cheered. ' The campaign is starting and there is every outlook for one which will < result in a democratic victory next I November. A splendid way to start the new year is to renew your subscription to your home paper — The Daily Democrat. The campaign is on now and we hope every one of our loyal family of about 3,500 will aid us 'by complying as quickly as possible with the request. We want to print you the very best paper possible and our plans cau more readily be worked out with the.subscriptions paid in advance onejiundred per cent. Indianapolis is fighting an epidenjic of one of the most dreaded disuses known to modern times, spftfhl meningitis. About fifty cases have been reported there the •* * • past" three weeks and there have been thirty-six deaths. Every physician anti members of health boards are doing all in their power to eheck the spread of the disease with the results that no new cases have been reported in the past three days. The last difficulty seems to have been ironed out and the Nei-man-Table factory is to move from Chicago to Bluffton. According to announcements the moving will begjn this week and the wheels ehould be turning by February Is*, employing about 250 people. Thats splendid and our heartiest congratulations are extended to our neighboring city. Investigations have disclosed the fact that the Neiman company is a gilt edged outfit and has every Indication tor a speedy and substantial growth. The efforts of Senator Borah of Idaho may not have accomplished any thing permanent so far but his remarks and the threat iliat he j

As a consequence in numerous cities the lid will be nailed down so tight that only those who can sit in private homes with the curtains pulled tightly down will he free from danger of arrest. It is getting interesting. The Reppert Auction School with nearly fifty students is open for another mid-winter session. We welcome them to Decatur an.l assure them that nothing will be left undone by the faculty or the citizens here to make their visit to Decatur a profitable and pleasant one. Many of the most successful auctioneers in the country secured their training at one of the intensive sessions of the Reppert School and we predict that a number from the present class will write their names high in their chosen profession. We wish you well boys.

Only a few more hours and X 929 will be chalked up as a matter of history. Just a few more feeble gasps and it will join the thousands of years which have gone before. Tonight all over the country the event will be observed with watch parties, some solemn and others gay. In the larger cities there will be the usual reservation, of tables in the high priced and supposedly high toned places and where permitted the wild scenes which so many feel is the only fitting way to celebrate the passing of a year and the entrance of a new one. What you determine to do during the next three hundred and sixty-five days is frr more important than how or where you celebrate the coming of the year. Resolve to be boosters and to help others. We congratulate the Decatur Industrial Association on their new quarters in the People's Loan company block. The rooms are ideal for the purpose and should be popular. A meeting place of this kind, convenient and centrally located should draw together every one who really believes in Decatur and Adams county with a result that should benefit every one. The exchange of ideas irf always valuable. We sincerely hope the new venture proves so popular that a paid secretary will be necessary for in every community where these steps have been taken th9 results have been more than satisfactory. There are many things that can and should be done — beautifying of the city, better landscaping, home building, securing industries, road projects and a dozen others. These referred to proper committees willing to work will bring results that will please and help every one here. — < o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File * 4 Dec. 31—11. L.

DOUGHNUTS AND CARP ON BERLIN NEW YEAR MENU Germans Prepare Fo r Noisy Celebration of Sylvester Eve. Beilin, Dec. 30—(UP)—Nearly 1,000,000 doughnuts and approximately 800,000 carp are being made ready today for Berlin's traditional celebration of New year’s Eve. Sylvester Eve, as it is known here, would not be complete in the minds of Berliners without the fat, holeless doughnuts, filled with jam. and the carp. Blue carp, boiled in beer is the favorite method of preparing the delicacy. And of course the inevitable punch will put in an appearance on many a restaurant table tonight when the city's population turns out to greet the New Year. A week ago, on Christmas Eve, 'he stisets were deserted and most > restaurants and amusement places I closed. Christ Jias Eve is a home I time ’to the Germans. Tonight the ( tty will present a very different I appearance. Surging crowds, laugh-j nc faces, bursts of song, bright lights, cries of "Happy New Year” will be the order of the night.
