National Advertising Representatives SCHEERRE, INC. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dallies President Hoover may not be right in every thing, in fact we' don’t think he is, but he is cer-1 tainly RIGHT in capital letters on I the advertising question which he i says is the cnly tonic to bring back | prosperity in this country. = Fred Landis is one of the most ’ entertaining banquet speakers on I the American platform today and I that fact can be attested to by those who heard him last evening. He can say things in the most interesting way and keeps his audience always feeling comfortable while sending heme .thoughts that are good for one to revolve in his mind. Now they claim that Capone’s gang in Chicago controlled the election and brought about the success cf one candidate for congress. It is alleged that men stationed at the precincts pressed revolvers against the backs of voters while ordering them how to vote. All of which we don't understand. If that happened here, there would be a merry war before it had gone far enough to have much effect on the results of an election. Evans Woollen of Indianapolis is preparing the bill to be supported by democrats in the legislature and probably by the republicans for an income tax law, carrying out campaign pledges and relieving the public from a share of the burden now imposed on real estate and personal property. No better selection for that job could have been made by State Chairman Peters and its safe to guess that if it becomes a law it will pass every test. So long as many people—the vast majority of the nation —believe that conduct of certain types is wrong there will he laws against such conduct. But most persons will not need such laws to make them I conform to accepted standards of behavior. It is not the law against ! murder that kteps most of us [ from becoming murderers, nor the law against theft that keeps most of us from becoming thieves. Our own conviction that murder and theft are wrong is the strongest incentive to abstain from them. Armistice Day, celebrating ths close of the World war was observed last evening in a splendid way by Adams Post of the AmerScan Legion. It was a great occas- j ion in observance of a great event for we will always remember the joy the news brought that the

| slaughter was ended aud it was fitting that the boys who served under the eblors or America should stage the celebration. It Is an annual event and one looked forward to by those privileged to attend. Senator Watson is ill again and has been put to bed with orders to remain at least two weeks. The recent campaign was a severe strain upon him for his health was impaired and it was an uphill fight from the sound of the whistle until tin election returns came in, which doesn't help a fellow whose nerves are shot. Jim is an old warrior and don’t think he was fooled at any time during the campaign. That's what made it tough. We are sure hoping that he will come back in health speedily and completely.

Santa is coming, with his reindeer and his eskiinos and a sled full of candy, just to prove that he really does exist, that he travels by sled whether there is snow or I not, that he will come back on I Christmas eve and that he is all jthat has been claimed for him. ' Plan to come and see Santa and to 'see the wonderful display of Christ- ' mas goods from which gifts may jbe selected. The big occasion will : be November 29th and plans are [now going forward to give the old ■ boy the right kind of a reception. Imagine, if you can, men addicted to skirts and ladies addicted to trousers, and imagine this state of affairs to have existed for a thousand years. It would today be accepted as the only right and proper state of affairs. Daring ladies who elected to wear skirts and daring men who adopted trousers would be frowned upon and denounced. In the public eye they would be either “eccentric" or “publicity seekers." As it always has seemed and always will be, the custom generally observed would be accepted as sanctified and immutable. But for all their soft conformity the people in their hearts would realize that the styles were not, in fact, ordained from Heaven, and iIIWL to the existing order would be a lip service only. Now imagine the coming of a critic —a devil-may-care fellow with a streak of humor in his make-up. He discovers that because man is more t active than woman and trousers I better suited to activity men I should wear the trousers and women the skirts. And he makes his theory known to the great body of trouser-wearing women and skirtwearing men. For a time the people stand agape and then they grin and timidly remark: “Why, the cuss is clever! A knocker to be sure, and not very respectable, but elever —darned clever!” And the men keep right on wearing the skirts and the women the trousers. 1 But why did the people call the | critic clever if they didn't propose <to adopt his suggestion? Merely [because he said right out in public ! what the people knew in their hearts but were afraid to admit they knew. That “cleverness” so largely cons.sts of simple truthtelling speaks ill of civilized man's freedom from custom and public opinion.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1930.

OBITUARY Susie Mae (Bright) Beery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Bright, was born in Adams county near Decatur, Indiana, on June 24. 1883, and departed from this life into the spirit world on November 8. 1930, age 47 years, 4 months and 14 days. She was uniter! in marriage to Harve M. Beery on April 6, 1904. This union was honored with five children. Her parents and one son Richard proceeded her in death. Mrs. Beery in her early life gave her heart to Christ and united with the Brethren in Christ Church known as Antioch of this community. After the death of her mother, she assumed the place in life that she filled, by opening her home up to her brothers and sisters. and became a mother unto them. Mrs. Beery lived close to her Christ whom she so dearly lowed. In her crucial hour she asked to be annointed. This service was the crowning service of her life, as she so beautifully resigned herself unto His will, and was ready for the great transition. Her suffering was not long; but she bore it with patience. She was a true and loving wife, a real mother and a real sister. She was always for peace and could see the good qualities in others. She will be greatly missed in her* home. Her smile and cheery words have now drifted into memory. The word of God is true, “The memory of the Just is Blessed." Prov. 10:7. She will not only lie missed in the community. but her presence in heaven will make heaven richer there, and also to us who wait. She leaves to mourn, her husband and four children, Mrs. Beulah M. Shackley of Decatur, Helen C.. Robert and Marvin, who reside at home; also four grandchildren. Besides her immediate fajniiy she leaves four brothers, George H. of Peterson, Ind; John A., of Decatur; Thomas of Dayton, Ohio, and Rev. J. F. of Montpelier, Ohio, also five sisters. Mrs. Mary Sautb’ne of Browerville, Minn., Mrs Lucy Abbott of Van Wert, Ohio; Mrs. Dollie Parrish of Monroe, Ind.. Mrs. Gertrude Johnson of Ashley. Ind., and Mrs. Jennie Landis of Dayton, Ohio. Besides thiese she leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn her going. I cannot say. and I will not say That she is dead: she is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand She had wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since she lingers t! ere. And you —oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of here, Think of her still as the same, I say. [ She is not dead-she is just away. [ We wish to express our thanks i to our neighbors and friends for i their kindness extended in the home in the midst of this sad hour of grief. We also wish to express our appreciation for the l>eautiful floral offering and unto jlr. and Mrs. Jahn, the undertaker for his kindness.
