Santa Claus has rounded up the reindeer, gathered together the Eskimo boys and started today from toyland to Decatur.

The same legal technicality resulted in several ether counties yesterday and unless attorneys file a contest the change in office will not be made until January 1. The last i legislature changed the time of taking office to January 1, while the Indiana constitution specifies that it shall be mad? as soon after the general election as the successful candidate qualifies. —• The Secretary cf State has certified that the official count of the vote in the eighth congressional district give Congressman Albert Vestal a lead of nine, the vote being.

| In the interest of the voter and tn (fairness to both candidates It seems that the correct thing to do is to contest the election and In that way decide definitely who won. • A committee for drafting the t rules and regulations for the Adams County Corn Show, December • 8 to 13, has been appointed by Avon Burk, general chairman. The , show should prove one of the most i interesting events in the county. 1 The farmers of this county have I I grown some splendid corn this ' year and the show will more than likely have several of the finest exhibits in the state. Help boost the show, do your part to make It a success and the event can be made an annual one in this comi munity. •'You buy—he works" is the slogan adopted in the Spend Now campaign. There is a lot of truth and logic in the statement. Men and women cannot be put to work I until factories have orders and persons with fixed incomes, those not affected by the unemployment situation, are urged to buy things they need. It seems that everyone has tried to squeeze the penny and that a general slowing up of purchasing power has resulted. Let’s get in a different frame of nrfftd and with low market prices in nearly every line, purchase those things we need and have been putting off buying because the other fellow wasn't doing it. Thurman Gottschalk, county chairman cf the unemployment commission, appointed by nor Leslie, has called a meeting of the general committee for Wednesday morning at the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. Members of the committee have been named from all parts cf the county and suggestions as to how to steam up business, employ the idle and keep others working will be received at the meeting. It’s a difficult job we grant, to make prosperity, but it's better to try and fail than not to try at all. There are many things which might be done and the committee will to a great extent follow the plan adopted by the state commission and urge public and private building, remodeling, street repair and those things which will employ persons during the winter months. o •twenty years * I AGO TODAY | From the Daily nemocrat File I » « Nov. 18, 1910—Six thousand head I of poultry killed in freight wreck near Magley.

Bentley, UP. Staff Correspondent. Chicago, Nov. 18. —<(J.R) —A group, of buildings, incorporating such unique architectural principles as their designers believe will have profound effects on architecture of the future, is rising on the shore of Lake Michigan, where during the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, were only the waters of the lake. “Make no small plans.” might well be the motto of Daniel H. Bunham, director of works of the Century cf Progress Exposition, who says “the whole fair is a great experimental laboratory in architectural construction and beauty of design and ornament." “The exposition will inaugurate new uses of material, new materials themselves,’ ’said Burnham, “as well as the different massing effects and relation of buildings, one to another, the inspirational effects of light and color, beth by day and by night, in a totally new and inspiring manner.” Buildings at once cheap, safe, fireproof, easily salvaged and of unusual and striking beauty represent the aim of the builders. Already several structures are under way, including the administration building which will soon be occupied; the travel and transport building; an exact reproduction of Fort Dearborn in 1833; and a Mayan temple, the original of which was built by American Indians about 500 A. D. and which architects declare equalled any structure erected during the Golden Age of Greece. in all of these bui'.diugs the most

Santa Clans will have to travel during the very short days and you children who worry about the long !evenings in the winter will under'stand that Santa Claus is often sad land impatient when he has to spend ■ hours and hours traveling through darkness. But he is helped sometimes by the moonlight nights, which are often as bright, almost as day. Sometimes, too, his way is flighted by the beautiful northern I lights. [advanced methods of illumination ■ will be employed.” said Burnham, [ writing in Chicago C ommerce. ; “The night time as well as the dayj time effect on visitors will be one | of constantly changing pattern and color." Rooms in buildings will probably be illuminated by invisible rays of light and the buildings them-s-lves will constantly change in pattern and color. Present day experiments promise that invisible rays, emanating frem screened vapor bubls can be utilized to activate lunrnescent substances painted on the walls and so produce light in a room which has no visible I source of illumination. Projecting apparatus and optical devices are now available to decorate entire . rooms with light alone.

■FAMOUS UNCLE TOM KILLED BY LONG EXPOSURE Indiana Man Tells Inside Story of Noted Negro Richmond. Ind., Nov. 18.-■ IU.RI — Uncle Tom. the Negro around whom I Harriet Heecher Stowe wove her famous slavery novel, died in InI dlana from exposure suffered while escaping from his master, Dr. Henry Coffin Fellow, descendant of the Quaker cpuple who befriended I Eliza, said. Eliza Harris, famous for her trip across the Ohio river ice. also actually lived, but the story of her life was altered to make it more read- | able, Dr. Fellows said. Dr. Fellows, Quaker educator and poet, now living at Witchita, Kans., said Uncle Tom was befriended by his great-uncle, Levi Coffin. . Hated Slavery “Coffin lived in Nepwort, Ind, near the Ohio line, and owned a cottcn mill in Cincinnati. He imported cotton from England rather than use that from the southern plantations, due to his hatred of slavery. He was so strongly against slavery that he became president of the famous underground railway system. "Uncle Tern worked under a cruel taskmaster in Lexington. Ky.. who whipped him unmercifully and he determined to escape. He heard of Coffin’s kindness and decided to go to his house. The first night of his flight, Uncle Tonp walked along a railroad track. The next day he hid in a cornfield until it was dark enough to continue. It took two days to reach the Ohio river and by that time he was exhausted. The cold caused him much suffering. Ferried Across

He was ferried across the river by a free Negro and was taken to the Coffin home. He became ill with pneumonia and was sick for naie weeks. Then he died. Simon Legree did not kill him and, it is I probable that the notorious slave ' driver was a character who had I the worst parts of several anti- [ abolutionists instead of being a |.eal person as the others were. “Eliza lived O., and was owned by a kind man in straitened circumstances. When she heard he would be forced to i sell her two-year-old sen she took the child and made the famous river crossing. She also went to the Coffin home and later reached I Canada. She did not go to Africa 'as a missionary, as the book dei scribes, but remained in Canada, ' and as far as is known, never had i any acquaintance with Uncle j Tom." o li BIG FEATURES I OF RADIO I i i * < Wednesday's 5 Best Radio Features .
