Now that it's over what did you —do with that extra time saved during T the daylight saving period? Summer may be over but those * a a berries sure make fine shortcake in September. Gasoline prices came down two . . cents a gallon today and we haven't found anyone real angry over the .cut. Employment for more than 225 „ men when the Holland-St. Louis "J’JSugar plant opens here means "money in the pocket and the increasing of buying power. Deca- ** tur is not in the slumps. After reading the newspapers about the invasion of the Russians into the wheat market, we might say that the Russian Bears are after us. Another contest has been settled. Jimmy Risk of Montpelier, Indiana's representative in the match won the national amateur’s horse shoe pitching contest and now all he needs is a vaudeville contract. Less than three months till Christmas and the wind-up of old 1930. The remaining few months can make up for loss of business and inactivity during the summer months if we all use a little gas in going up the hill and start right now to do it. Fort Wayne concerns will have to resort to armored cars in conveying pay roil money from the . banks to their place of business if the hold-up men continue to order the messennger boys to “stick 'em up." Last Saturday a boy carrying.4Jie pay roll for a printing convein was robbed of 32.900 and we'll bet the printers were made enough to shoot the yeggs.

Tuttle resigned as United States attorney b and stated that he would not accept the nomination unless his patry t adopted a wet plank. The Democrats nominate this week and Governor Franklin Roosevelt will be renominated. The contest will , be an interesting one and will i share in interest with the Illinois senatorial light, which by the way ! is warming up considerable since Senator J. Ham Lewis has taken the stump. It is pleasing to note the recognition given Ravelings, the yearbook published by the Seniors of the Decatur high school. The staff of editors, headed by Miss Mary Mclntosh and the supervisor. Miss Blanche McCrory, high school teacher, are to be congratulated on the showing made and the award i of first rank given by the Indiana High School Press Association. The i book, a fine example of studious effort and good newspaper work, deserves the recognition won and Ravelings will continue to rank among the best as long as the 1930 standard is set as a goal. The Bluffton Free Street Fair is a community porposition and the event has the united support of a majority of the people. They support the fair over there because 5 they want it and run it with prei vision. The community looks forward to the event with much interest and anticipation, evidenced in the splendid 32-page special edition published by the Bluffton i News-Banner last Monday. It’s a big thing in Bluffton and Wells . county, but no better than the fairs . that have been given here and the ( American Legion boys have made . an excellent start in establishing it in Adams County. One must remember that Bluffton has been . putting on a street fair for 25 years . and that they are experts at the . game. We believe the Decatur fl street fair can be given each year - and become a community proposii tion, supported and backed with as . much enthusiasm as shown over in . our neighboring town. 1 o 1 Tea Drinking in England Tea was not brought to England until 1G57 and was introduced into the English court by Katherine of Braganza. From the first it was patronized by royalty. When the custom originated, tea was drunk j much weaker and in smaller cups than prevailed later. In the second 5 half of the Eighteenth century . afternoon tea became a smart so clal function. o r Vital Difference 1 Os all men perhaps the bookJ lover needs most to be reminded . that man's business here is to know for the sake of living, not live for ■ the sake of knowing.—Frederick Harrison. o Courage That Sticks * The most difficult courage of all ?

fWSMKHKffiS S S•« !fi S S S Sr- « | Pin Money i Ue yfi A FIVE-CENT PAPER of pins as a wedding gift {HR would now be considered bizarre and the donor “tight,” to express it mildly. Yet pins were once so |p scarce that none Jout the wealthy could afford them. A box of pins was the no plus ultra of wedding presjfi ents, as much admired as costly jewelry and silverware. T As pins became less expensive and in more comtp mon use, women were provided with a certain amount of money to be devoted exclusively to the H purchase of pins. And so the expression “pin (S money.” was originated. The phrase now has a ■ g much broader meaning and denotes any allowance 1 Jfi to wife or daughters for personal and incidental | HR expenses. J I? Pin money now buys a thousand and one things Ls-j dear to the hearts of womenfolk. The advertising r columns are scanned eagerly by millions of women H 5 to see what is offered that comes within purse limits. >. g They know’ that the advertisements enable them to 1, ffi buy wanted articles at reasonable cost. |p Advertising also keeps them informed of the latest news in the world of fashion. It tells w’hat Paris B S is wearing in dresses, hats, hosiery and footwear. It “ g pictures gowns for evening, afternoon and street ' g wear, as well as simple little house frocks that are u* charming in their simplicity. Advertising introg duces improved household utensils, new’ foods, auto- • mobiles in gay colors—in short, everything that the < ijg heart of woman could desire. And that is why women are such careful readers Sfi of advertising. It enables them to make their pin , money buy more and last longer. It helps them keep * g expenses within the household budget. Every one ■t j| should read advertisements. It is one of the simpHR habits to cultivate, and pays dividends in savtfi ings and personal comforts. s- |JE j Decatur Daily Democrat >s
