The fellow who is making political speeches this year will probably have to do it over the radio, to tile unseen ar-dience, if he hopes to have a crowd. Chicago may not be any worse than any large city, but we haven't read where the mayor’s wife was held up and $20,000 worth of jewelry taken from her. Special services will be held in several of the Decatur churches Sunday and the ministers will feel encouraged and repaid for their efforts if you attend. The G.

A revival in business was noted Uljs week and with the needs of Lite public for the fall and winter months to be met and fulfilled, trading should be brisk from now till Christmas. Keep the ball rolling and let's all try to make next week a busy one. Although the holiday falls on Sunday, Discovery Day will be observed, next Monday as a legal holiday.

from the tone of things most everyone there is glad that Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over the lantern. Out of the ashes and ruins has grown one of the greatest cities in the world, which supports the contention that out of disaster some of the greatest things are accomplished . ........... . The stock market is doing another fancy jig this week but it is down so low now that it isn't worrying the average fellow who is hoping the water will all be squeezed out and that, enough folks will be discouraged In that form of dealing that they will see the advantages of investing in home industries and properties. After all that's the sane and safe thing. The Pennsylvania republicans are fighting and a liberal wing of the old Keystone state party is supporting the Democrat nominee for governor. The Democrat may be elected which would break a republican record of 40 years. Somehow those hard-shelled boys can’t stand for Pfnchot and it appears that they would like to “put him away” as far as politics is concerned. Politics over this way may be a little quiet but down in maianap olis the campaign is in full swing. We dropped into Tomlinson’s hall Thursday evening, where there was in progress a rip-roaring, old fashioned session with ffred VanNuys, L. Ert Slack, Judge Deering, Mayor ’ Sullivan and others on the program and the big hall was packed to the roof with cheering, enthusiastic citizens who unhesitatingly predict that Marion county will go democratic by more than 30,000. Reports from all over the state are such that the workers feel confident of a victory in the November election. The purchase of the Farmer’s Light and Power company’s lines in Union township has been duly authorized by the state public service commission for SIO,OOO. The Union township folks have thus showed good judgment, we believe, and at the same time have demonstrated genuine loyalty to the community. It is known they were offered considerable more by an outside company but preferred to do business with the local plant. There are numerous advantages in this and we are sure the owners will never regret their actiom They are thus assured excellent service and courteous treatment, the lowest possible rates and at the same time they are assisting the Decatur Power and Light Company. Its a splendid arrangement all around.

NORTH FRANCE DEMANDS CANAL ALONG BORDER Powerful Textile And Metal Industries Want New Waterway Ry Stewart Browq, UP Staff Uorresnondent Paris. Oct. 11 -(UP)—With a mix ture of economic und national defense arguments, the powerful textile and metallurgical interests of northern France are bringing strong pressure upon the French government for construction of a great shipping canal from the port oi Dunkirk to Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing. This region, one of the richest ■md most prosperous in France during periods of peace, Is begging for a waterway which will allow it to move its textiles, steel and iron cheapily to a French port instead of shipping across the Belgian border to Antwerp. French shipping companies instead of Dutch will benefit, they argue. It is now understood the government practically has approved expenditure of $200,000,000 spread out over a period of five.years, providing Andre Tardieu’s ambitious national development project is approved by the Chamber of Deputies this fall. The’cost of this canal, however, is variously estimated, from $400,000,000 to more than sl,-1 250.000,000. The canal is considered assured, since it has the backing of French shipping interests who also are obtaining government support for their development Direct access to the sra not only would benefit French shippers but would allow French textile, iron and coal producers to compete at a better advantage with the British for foreign markets. The project would entail enlargement of the present undersized * canal connecting Dunkirk with the industrial region. The old canal is wholly inadequate for necessities of the region and lienee is rarely used except for minor products. It is suggested that the ujrw canal should be at least 55 yards wide with a draft of 20 feet, allowing fast, highpowered tugs to move merchandise in a hurry and also!

! Babcock Awarded Farm Honor Medal <s< <• - wagg k ■ W Dr. Stephen M. Babcock, dairy-' ing benefactor and the most hon- i ored man at the University of i Wisconsin, received the Capper award for the most distinguished, service to agriculture at the meet-1 iing of the Country Life Associa-i tion at Madison. Wis., recently. The award, consisting of a plaque and $5,000, was made to Dr. Babcock in person by the donor. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. to enable boats under 1,000 tons to continue inland. According to present plans an inland port or basin wou'd be con-, structed at Lille, Roubaix and I Tourcoing, the three ports forming' a sort of triangle at the end of the! canal. With this arrangement it I 1 could serve both the mines and tex-. tile plants of this concentrated re-| gion. Th entire canal would be on p French territory along the Belgian , border. During the war the canal I probably would be flooded as it was | during the past war in order to ( I halt the Germans from taking Dunkirk and other French ports. It is said the government will approve ’ the canal’s constructio nhecause it; increases the ease with which this t region could be flooded with sea I water-rin case of a sudden invas- » ion into France across the Belgian border. NOTICE I will be away from my office r from Monday morning, October 13 f until Sunday evening, October 19. ( 241-2tx Dr. W-.E. Smith.)

Os course! WHEN you want to get down-town in a hurry, you don’t sprint ten or twenty blocks in order to be there on time. You take an automobile or a street car, of course. When you want to ask a question of a friend who lives a mile or so away, you don’t walk to his house to find out what you want to know. You call him on the telephone, of course. And so it goes—in all the affairs of your daily life. You take the easy, intelligent means of accomplishment every time. When, you want to buy a refrigerator or a car or a piano, you don’t need to 'look all over town to discover the kind you want. You read the advertisements in your newspaper. They bring you all the facts necessary to decide just which refrigerator or car or piano will give you the most satisfaction, how much to pay, where to buy it. You buy through the advertisements because they sav you time and effort. Because they enable you to command certain values. Because they assure you of getting reliable and economical products every time. . w* —: —- It pays to read the advertisements. Decatur Daily Democrat

NATIVITV FDD TEAR IN SWEDEN AT LOW FIGURE Question Brings About National Concern Eor the Future Stockholm, Oct. 11 (UP) "Happy Sweden’’ may be said to have less sorrow than most other countries; the country enjoys health and prosperity and has few, If any, political adversaries. Yet there is one problem which in these weeks is discussed with a certain amount of passion in the press and wherever politically-minded Swedes meet—the nativity question, which is thua on the point of developing into a national concern. The fact is that nativity returns for the past year werq the lowest ever registered in this country and pre claimed to constitute a downward record internationally. Tn all Sweden the population Increase by 14.890 inhabitants during 1929. as against 29,815 as late as 1921 and 17,267 in 1928. In Stockholm, deaths even exceeded births by a number of 876. It is pointed out in this connection that this low
