Th- campaign is under way and tlie workers are gradually getting up steam. .Run up to headquarters and report. Perhaps there is soni-thing for you to,do. Claude Ball, democratic candidate lor congress in this district will address the voters at Geneva tomorrow evening. It should be a well attended and interesting meeting and every body is invited. We would (be for the Hallowe en celebration this year because the G. E. bunch is back of it if for no other, but its a fine tiring any way and so every one ought to cooperate. Th? inquiries for farms in this county continue and those who are interested in buying one at the present lowest figures in years should get in on the ground floor quickly. The trend is decidedly back to the farm. Use your own judgm- nt. The drive for fruits, jellies, canned goods and vegetables for the Adams County Memorial Hospital is on and deserves your support. A can or two of fruit, a glass of jelly and a little of the supply you have up. will hardly be missed and it means much to those who will be patients at the hospital the next year. Do your part. The General Electric boys are ' out aft r funds with which to put on an old fashioned Hallowe'en , celebration hr re. The plans in- j elude a masquerade parade with prizes, dances and entertainment on Liberty Way and a good time. Boost it for any tiling that entertains people is a good thing for a community. Lets keep alive and going. The Cards go east with the odds against them, but a ball game is never over until the last man is out in the last inning nor is a series over until four games hav r been won. The Athletics only have to win one of the next two gurney at home and most of the fans think they will do it, but the St. Louis boys are a good bunch and may fool them. It won’t be long now. That man Bell who squealed on the gang which killed Lingle is up against it and his days are probably numbered. He will either be executed or if by chance is given a life sentence, one of the gangstets will eventually get him. Its a hard life any way you figure it and its difficult to see how any young man even has any idea he can beat it. The democratic women of the county will i njoy the afternoon meeting now being arranged by Mrs. Gottschalk and Chairman Ed Bosse. It will be held at the Decatur Country Club on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 14th, one week from today. Speeches by Mrs. Knapp. C. J. Lutz and others and a special musical program will entertain you while enjoying a cup of tea. Every woman voter In the

TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.R) ♦ London —The King and Queen ‘sent congratulations to Char- * les Wells and wife on the 65th j anniversary of their wedding. ' — " """"♦ county is Invited. Get up a crowd ' and attend. Those best qualified to puss upon the question of a constitutional • i convention in Indiana are opposed ' to it almost to a one. It would • cost a million dollars and would probably bo controlled by elements which would not provide the best basic laws tor this great Commonwealth to survive under the next century. It has been proven that practically every desired change which is for the general benefit. ' can be made without a new constitution and we believe most folks would favor different taxing laws, icgulattons for attorneys and other things suggested.

We still fail to see the need of the Hawley-Smoot tariff law enacted by the last congress, even after listening attentively for an hour to Senator Watson's radio address on the subject. It looks to a great many people, even the staunchest republican, that it is < the payment of another political debt to special interests. Instead 1 I of increasing prosperity it crippled export trade and provoked our foriegn market countries to retal- ’ iate. We are advised not to change horses in the middle of the stream but if by so doing this ’ tangle can be straightened out, it i will be better for everv one and I will assure an earlier return of conditions of prosperity. , All of us pay taxes. The taxes we do not know we pay are greater than those for which we write i our checks. If a man’s income is $5,000 a year, the amount of taxes which he does not know he pays is ) greater than the amount of money that he spends for clothing. If a man’s income is $2,500 a year, the amount of taxes which he does not know he is paying is greater than the amount that he actually spends for food. Economists have estimated that nearly 25 per cent of the cost of most of our commodities represents the charge for taxes. As long as the cost of gov- , ernment is high the cost of living will be high.—California Taxpayers Associtaion. o ‘Twenty years * AGO TODAY 1 From the Daily Democrat File October 7 —l9lo—Hundreds are homeless in south part of state as result of Ohio river flood rampage.

COMET MISSES EARTH, FRENCH EXPERTS REVEAL Schwassmann-W achmann Meteor Veers Away After Menacing Globe Paris, Oct. 6 (U.K)—French astronomers at the Mendon observatory have announced that all danger as a collision of tho Sihwassmaun Wachmann comet lias swung as close to the earth as It will ever come and is now disappearing, Having missed this globe by the comparatively -small celestial space of five million miles. French scientists Insist that the earth had a narrower escape than most laymen ever imagined. Had the little comet come on at the speed and angle it did when it was discovered by tho German • astronomers, Schwassmann and Wachmann on May 1, 1930. it would have put a dent in the globe and perhaps , knocked the earth out of its smooth-running circuit. Scientists are lost in wierd conj ctuns of what might have happened had the collision actually occurred. Some argue that the earth would have broken into bits at the impact, others believe that like a Derby hat, the earth would have been dented but nothing more ser- | ions would occur. The comet was travelling at a pace which would have left the world far behind. Through the tel - | scope watchers could see the comet streaking through the field of stars its piogress be ng such that movement was visible to the eye. The Schwas, mann jr /achni; In will be back in tiv years, but its I circuit will be even farther away from the earth. Instead of b ing i 22 times as far away as the Moon, it will be 30 times, so that from now on theie will be lessen d danger of a collision. French astronomers point out that there have been but three comets come dangerously close to the globe in the past few centuries. Lexell's comet came nearest. | missing th' world by 144.000 miles on July 1, 1770. while th j PonsW’innecke passed by just 3,480,000 ’miles off on June 27. 1927. The Meudon scientists succeeded

Pin Money A FIVE-CENT PAPER of pins as a wedding gift would nuw be considered bizarre and the donor “tight,” to express it mildly. Yet pins were once so scarce that none but the wealthy could afford them. A box of pins was the ne plus ultra of wedding presents, as much admired as costly jewelry and silverware. As pins became less expensive and in more common use, women were provided with a certain amount of money to be devoted exclusively to the purchase of pins. And so the expression “pin money,” was originated. The phrase now has a much broader meaning and denotes any a’.lowance to wife or daughters for personal and incidental expenses. Pin money, now buys a thousand and one things dear to the hearts of womenfolk. The advertising columns are scanned eagerly by millions of women to see what is offered that comes within purse limits. They know that the advertisements enable them to buy wanted articles at reasonable cost. Advertising also keeps them informed of the latest news in the world of fashion. It tells what Paris is wearing in dresses, hats, hosiery and footwear. It pictures gowns for evening, afternoon and street wear, as we’l as simple little house frocks that are charming in their simplicity. Advertising introduces improved household utensils, new foods, automobiles in gay colors—in short, everything that the heart of woman could desire. And that is why women are such careful readers of advertising. It enables them to make their pin money buy more and last longer. It helps them keep expenses within the household budget. Every one should read advertisements. It is one of the simplest habits to cultivate, and pays dividends in savings and personal comforts. Decatur Daily Democrat

in photographing the new comet and have been able to figure Its size as 400 yards In dlanfeter In stead of tens, hundreds or thousands of miles as astronomers first believed. The rest of the visible mass is ultra rurified carbon gas which makes the comet appear much larger than it really is. Scientists point out that there have been meteors of that size strike the earth, but prbvi d of little damage because they came in on an angle instead of coming directly down ami because they came at much less speed. In North Eastern Arizona is a meteor crater 1,200 yards in diameter and 180 yards deep. .Ilin. I ' 1 ■ —I '"■H Imi —— w Ballbearing for Freight Kiruna.
