L. Ert Slack in his speech at • Berne handled the campaign issues , in a straightforward manner, call-1 ed attention to the mistakes in state and national government and urged that every voter go to the polls on election day. There is an increase this month • over the same for last year for cases of small pox, diptheria and scarlet fever in the state and warnings have been sent out to every section to be careful. An ounce o' preventative may prove better t.ian a pound of cure. Confidence begets confidence. The difference between good times and bad times is the extra expenditure of only fifteen cents a day in the | United States. Stop being afraid, | get into the fight and get a little ' more fight in you. Get on your mark, get set, go. We are appreciative of the splendid advertising patronage the past week. It has seemed like old i times and stands out particularly because it has been a rathen dry season in the newspaper business as well as others. We hope every body keeps hitting the ball. A vote for the democratic ticket this year is a vote in opposition to the propaganda that the opposition has put out for years that they and „ they alone could be trusted with „ the business of the country. They I " have sure made a sorry mjess of, “ things the past couple of years and | ~ th' y haven't even the nerve to ex-1 plain the causes. It is well to remember that a “ constitutional convention will cost ’* a million dollars, that various factions will take their part in the -i meetings and that the probabilities ar? that we will get a worse basic law than we have now. it may need some improving but it certainly doesn't need a whole new — suit. ’The city of Decatur now owns! the' Union township line, having paid' the SIO,OOO agreed upon yest'Tttay. The members of the Farmers Light and Power line proved fflTrtr patriotism by standing for the local utility although offered $7,500 more by an outside company. The; preferred to trust the folks at home who they knew and their action is an excellent example of keeping i faith. Roger Babson says the stock market is due for an upswing. Quit your kiddin', Rog, the boys have heard that for the past year, bought a new stack of checks about every week and watched them slip into the rake-off slot so rapidly they could hardly tell the blues from the whites. The average person has just about decided that fooling with the tape is a mighty 1 .sky way of getting rich. One of the quietest campaigns we can remember of is closing. We will start on the final drive Monday and the next few days ' should produce greater interest than has been shewn. A small vote

is always dangerous and thia year when so many important matters are up to the voters it would seem we could afford to give a week to the discussions and to the organization. Call at democratic headquarters and help the boys put it lover for a great victory. The Lion's club is right in the display advertisement published last evening in their campaign to start the clock—lt Isn't the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog that really counts, it takes brains und couragt ami desire and stick to-it-in-viness to win battles. This nation has been going through a depression and this community has been a part of it but thank goodness we have weathered th? storm and come through with flying colors. Our folks like the dogs mentioned in the story seem to have plenty of the right kind of fighting spirit. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is alarmed that if the democrats 'get control of congress they will | pass a new tariff law. Well, they can't make one much worse for the country than the Hawley-Smoot conglamoration but just how would it be passed any way? The republicans will have the president and 1 tiie senate and its quite likely that any bill offered by a democratic congress would meet up with opposition from those sources. What the democratic congress will do is to serve as a balance wheel and prevent the legislation of certain interests which do not tend to help the public in general. Halloween is the night for the witches and spooks to come slipping around, its the occasion for every oils to have a happy time, its the play night of the year every where. And so the members of the General Electric band have planned and are arranging a big party which will include a Calithumpian parade with prizes for those who wear the most comical costumes. There will be grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunties and children from the funny pages. There will be a special prize for the best imitators of Amos and Andy,' a dance at the K. of C. hall, just a lot of clean and wholesome fun, that every one can enjoy free. Get ; happy and stay that way. o • « BIG FEATURES OF RADIO i ♦— ♦: Saturday's Five Best Radio Features (Copyright 1930 by United Press) Central standard time throughout.

SEVEN CITIES GIVE DATA ON EARLY INDIANS Southwestern Ruins Yield History To Archaeologists Colorado Springs. Colo., Oct. 25. —(U.R) —The "Seven Cities of Cibolo" that led Coronado, the Spanish’ explorer, north from Mexico cen-' turifs ago. are yielding an untold I wealth in information of the early inhabitants of America, to archaeologists exploring the Zuni Indian! ruins. Dr. Frank H. Roberts. Jr., archaeologist of the Smithsonian Institute. Washington. D. C., whose p party has been exploring the ruins, j 35 miles south of Gallup, N. M.. told of the work already accomplished on a recent visit to Colorado college here. 60 Skeletons The Smithsonian party this summer unearthed 60 skeletons of Zuni Indians —a tribe of the Pueb-j los —and nearly 200 pottery sped-1 1 mens hundreds of years old. Dr. I i Robert said. For several months I the explorers dug in the ruins of a I village inhabited by the Zunis • about 900 years ago. Dr. Roberts believes the Pueblo Indian's culture reached its peak about 1200 or 1300 A. D. At that period they had learned to con-, struct the huge "apartment houses" i j found in many southwest ruins. The first white man, the Spaniard. visited the southwest Indians ' about 1700. according to Dr. Rob-' erts. Ruins show that a change in the life of the first settlers of Am-! erica was brought about by the white man's invasion. Houses Tell Story The noted archaeologist declared ’ much can be learned of the early, peoples through a study of their houses alone. The basket-weavers! — predecessors of the Pueblos—' constructed houses oval in shape. ' With the coming of the Pueblos, the first rectangular dwellings were built. Unwilling to change their' futm of worship, which always had been earned on in houses of circular design, the Pueblos retained the| circular Khiva for ceremonies after adopting .rectangular buildings' for homes. Dr. Roberts believes that resem-j blance of the American Indian, the; Sskimo and the Chinese and the discovery of cultural implements of similar design among these races give considerable weight to the theory that they are descendants of a common ancestor. o ♦ • Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE » (U.R) • Q.

- ■—l; FOR SENATOR i, %L * W* ~’S Guy Mahorney The Republicans of Adams, Wells and Blackford counties are proud lo offer Guy Mahorney, Hartford i City merchant, as their candidate for joint state senator from the three counties. While Adams and Wells counties are normally strongly Democratic, reports from those counties ths year indicate that I there is great unrest in the Democratic ranks and that Mr. Mahorney has gained such strength that he may easily upset tradition there and obtain a majority in both conn ties. That he will carry Blackford ‘ county with a b‘g majority goes I without saying. It is urged by Republicans in Biackford, however, that Mr. Ma-i horney be given as large a majority ,us possible in the voting here, in | order that he may overcome, if nec- ' essary, any majorities his opponi ent might obtain in the normally I democratic counties of the district. | Mr. Mahorney is widely known in ,; Hartford City and Montpelier, where he has lived for many years. . He has been a taxpayer for years • and has always taken a keen interest in governmental and civic as- . fairs. He has been ,' merchant and , taxpayer for many years. Through extensive reading, especially along the lines of state and national legislation, Mr. Mahorney has fated himself particularly well i ■ for the problems that will confront the next session of the state legis- , lature. > j Mr. Mahorney has never held office, and the voters of Wells, Adams and Blackford counties owe ►! him the honor to which he aspires | because of the active interest he > has always taken in the cause of . good government.—Times Gazette, Hartford City, Ind —Political adv. >

GIFTS REVEAL I OLD SERMON London. Ont.. Oct. 25 — (UP) — An original sermon by an unknown pastor, delivered in England In 1658 on the death of Oliver Cromwell, has been discovered in a collection of 17th century political sermons presented to tba library of Western Ontario by the late John Davis Barnett. Only a small part of the sermon is devoted to Cromwell, however. A treatise on philology precedes the part in which the preacher, quoting Scripture at great length, gives several reasons why Cromwell as a "good prince was bewailed by a good people." The unknown autor places Cromwell's dignity as bis most outstanding quality. Next in merit were his religion, his kindness to the nation. his valor, his prudence, his diligence in military organization, his love and affability, the manner of his death, and his fame. The sermon is closed with an admonition to Cromwell's son, Richard, who Tater was to preach, that he lacked his father's strength and powers of political persuasion. — — o—- * TWENTY YEARS ~ AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File * < October 25. 1910—Adams county ■ prohibitionists nominate local tick-1 et in convention.

Semper idem “ALWAYS THE SAME”... a good slogan for any one of a thousand advertised articles whose superior qualities are maintained year in and year out. Have you ever stopped to consider the time, patience. skill, money and experience invested in every one of the articles you see advertised in this paper.’ No matter what it may be—a lead pencil or an expensive automobile —the problems of maintaining and improving quality are constantly in the minds of those responsible for their manufacture. Quality must be maintained at all hazards. Quality must be bettered wherever and whenever possible. Price must be kept at a level that will insure the utmost in value. Advertised goods must, and do, live up to their advertising. “Semper idem”—always the same. They cannot afford to vary in the least. i. Trust advertised goods. Buy them regularly. Read the advertising columns every day to learn what is new. Read them to know what others are buying. Read them to ascertain how you can save money and yet get better merchandise. Read the advertisements—they stand for quality merchandise—semper idem. Decatur Daily Democrat
