We are . going over the crest of the hard times storm and in a few weeks ■ will be well on the way to the 1 — normalcy talked about so long. ’ - This is not time to quit plugging. If every merchant in Decatur ' will advertise a little next week. ' the total will be worth while. Combined effort along these lines mean much to every one. Go after the business. Mayor George Dale of Muncie ! ...has asked the grand jury to investigate his office and the board 1 of works. That sounds honest for he probably knows they can’t find 1 any thing wrong. Crooks don't invite that kind of trouble. Tlie gang war in Chicago has reached the stage where the ban- ' dits and beer runners are warning the officials to quit trying to enforce the law. When they can't ' bribe them they shoot them. Fine ' state of affairs, don't you think? __ ________ . You are cordially invited to attend the opening democratic meet- 1 ing of the campaign at the court 1 ( room next Wednesday evening. ‘ . Walter Meyers of Indianapolis, an orator and a statesman, will give | the principal address and you will , hear speeches worth while. — New York republicans have come t out in the open finally, a wet plank in their platform having been ad- 1 opted by a vote of almost three to one. There is one good thing about • it—they can’t fool any body any | longer as they have in the past when they were playing up to both sides. ! ~ J There is something wrong in the > grain market. Even though there ' • is an admitted shortage of corn and wheat, the prices continually decline. If the farm board was on the level and really wanted to do some thing, they would quit talk-]' ing about extending credits and get after the stock manipulators. That's largely whats wrong. Taxation will be the chief issue of the democrats and they have enough on those in power to convince any reasonable voter that a change can’t do any harm and may • ~ * help. With such veterans as T George Saunders, Thurman Gott- ** . . • schalk. Walter Chambers and John Deprez, presenting the facts, they . • ought tn be clearly and fairly stated and the results effective. President Hoover lias done well in appointing Lincoln Dixon of Indiana as a member of the new tariff commission. We venture the statement that no member of that committee is better qualified and’ if they will listen to Dixon and follow his suggestions, they can do much to correct the billion-dollar blunder made by the last congress. ■■ The discussion as to the benefits of a street fair in 1931 go on and are interesting. ' There seems to he much sentiment favorable and , we doubt if there will be any obji ctions if assurances are given;

TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦— CU.R) 4 Lyons, Ore. —Twelve-year-old H. Hobson took most of the prizes at the Pacific Northwest Archery tournament. ♦ ' — that tbe fair will be made cleaner in every way possible. That by the way is always the desire of those in charge. Fire prevention week will open October sth and its an important week, during which you are urged to do all those things so often stated that may prevent a conflagration. For the past ten years a concerted effort along this line has resulted in a reduction of the losses of life and property. Safety' first is always a good slogan. The gale that struck here late yesterday and continued into the night was probably the tail end of the twister which did damage in Missouri and the southwest, earlier in the day. A cool wave came along with it and we are having our first real autumn weather spree. "Buy normally" Is the advice from Robert Lamont, secretary of commerce, and that's good advice for only by keeping goods and money moving can we hope to keep the wheels of commerce and progress going. If we all refuse to buy any thing but Ute direst necessities. of course the merchants and the factories must cover up. That means more folks out of work and more distress. Buy all you can afford. Ex-President Calvin CoolidgV says we do not need to fear Russian wheat for it takes forty-two cents of actual money to get a bushel ’’of it into this country and with that duty they are not likely to smother us with grain. Perhaps not, but if some smooth American can make a few dollars by forcing down the prices, he will if necessary put up forty-two cents a bushel and more if needed. The Soviets won’t hurt us near as much as the American gamblers. o > q Lessons In English » * Words often misused: Do not say, The hat was crushed out of shape. Say "The hat was crushed."

CONFISCATION OF .STILL LANO TO BE TESTED SOON I Illinois Federal Court to Be Scene of Prohibition Test Case 7 i — ■ i Peoria, 111.. Sept. 27 — (UP) —- j | Whether the federal government j I Ims the right in its enforement of j the national prohibition law to eon | 3 fiscate farm lands on which stills II are found, is a question that will i Übe up for settlement in the United I ] States District court here next i ,j month. J The ease consists of a libel ac-1 j tion started by United States Attorney Walter M. Provine against | two farmers in different Illinois I counties. The action was launched follow-; ing seizure of ellaged stills on the 230 acre farm of Elmer Flaherty in Bureau county, and the 530 acre farm of Joseph Englehaupt in Put- i nam county. Tenants of Flaherty and Engle-] haupt were arrested and charged with conspiracy to volate the pro-1 > hibitiou law and then the govern-' meat invoked an ancient internal! ] revenue law. enacted before prohibi-' ■ion was even seriously thought of | to libel the two farms on the ground 1 that the owners rented no land to bootleggers, knowing the latter intended to manufacture illicit liquor. In addition to possibility of losing their land the two farmers also face possible criminal charges <>t violating the misprison act which provides for punishment of person -: wao hkowingly permits law viola tions. Output of one of the seized stills was said to be so great that its eon-, taut stream had to be poured into! a storage vat, just as is done in! bonded distilleries. Provine said the alleged bootleg-i gers, five of whom were arrested, had $75,000 invested in the plan s — o Statue Disarmed Herkimer, N.

» Pin Money I A FIVE-CENT PAPER of pins as a wedding gift S would now be considered bizarre and the donor S “tight,” to express it mildly. Yet pins were once so S scarce that none but the wealthy could afford them. A box of pins was the ne plus ultra of wedding presSfi ents, as much admired as costly jewelry and silver-. pt; ware. tP As pins became less expensive and in more comic mon use, women were provided with a certain amount of money to be devoted exclusively to the HR purchase of pins. And so the expression “pin ,r money.” was originated. The phrase now has a much broader meaning and denotes any allowance yfi to wife or daughters for personal and incidental Bh expenses. S ' .Pin money now buys a thousand and one things le dear to the hearts of womenfolk. The advertising columns are scanned eagerly by millions of women iff to see what is offered that comes within purse limits, il: They know that the advertisements enable them to 1 S buy wanted articles at reasonable cost. Advertising also keeps them informed of the latest news in the world of fashion. It tells what Paris H 5 is wearing in dresses, hats, hosiery and footwear. It Sj pictures gowns for evening, afternoon and street ; 5 wear. as well as simple little house frocks that are H , charming in their simplicity. Advertising introduces improved household utensils, new foods, automobiles in gay colors—in short, everything that the s gffl heart of woman could desire. And that is why women are such careful readers ' pi of advertising. It enables them to make their pin s money buy njore and last longer. It helps them keep S expenses within the household budget. Every one gg should read advertisements. It is one of the simpI- lest habits to cultivate, and pays dividends in sav1 ings and personal comforts. :■ j I Decatur Daily Democrat in SR j.
