Just twenty-one days in which to d yuur Christmas shopping. Make; it snappy and you can if you start j, al once. Much of the money raised this j year by the Delta Theta Tau will!

He is a great old fel1< w and made many new friends 1 while renewing old friendships here todav. Make this years Christmas the! happiest in all your life by giving |' a little more than usual to the ; Goid Fellow fund. Remember this j, has been a hard year for most 1 people and the poor are poorer . than usual. ——————— We are great old record break- j ers in this country and since we ! haun t much else to do this week we just went ahead and cracked th? cold w ather record for Novembers since they have been keeping tab. This was a tough day for the football fans, especially those who had to watch their favorite team ( fumble and lose. The winners can ' always keep up steam but its a chilly feeling when the boys can't 1 get through and the rah. rahs always come a little harder. You can be a Good Fellow by giving what you feel you can for the poor beys and girls Christmas any time the next three weeks but ■ the Best Fellows are those who give promptly. That makes it ‘ easier for the ladies of the Delta' • I Theta Tau and then you fee' so j much better. The Christmas spirit is hire ai- < p People in all walks I of life coihe to us daily for money.

I ready. This gives you three full i weeks in which to do your shopping. The sooner you start the better selections and the more ci mfort in doing the job. Decatur stores are filled with wonderful I goods at bargain price*. Get busy jat once. A year ago big business was merging and it was having the approval |ol the public but now with business islowed up almost to a standstill the old demand of "bust the mists" Ils again popular. We are prone to rush frem one extreme to the other and it takes just about a decade to make the trip each way. If you haven't paid your annual Red Cross dues, you can still do so with the assurance that it will be appreciated by those in charge of the drive and those who are tin- j fortunate enough to need special , attention during the coming year and you can be sure there will be some. Just another month of 1930 and then we can all start a new page, charge off the losses and begin to forget the worst year since 1 1873 which is as far back as we can go. There may have been worse ones before that but no one has had the nerve to mention them. Let's make the last month the best one j of the twelve so we will all be ready to hum in 1931. Senator Caraway says President hoover is straddling on ths prohibition question and says the Wick- ‘ ersham commission is just a cold storage proposition. It was predict d by most economists that when the president started his commission form of government he; was simply "passing the buck" so j the discovery by the gentleman ; from Arkansaw is not new. simply proving the claims of more than a year ago by others. Local banks will soon pay out ‘ thousands of dollars to members of their Christmas Saving clubs. I>hus making it convenient for those who have participated to make purchases at this season of the .'ear. The new clubs will open in a few days and every one who can spare a few pennies or a dollar or mor- each week should join. Its an easy way to make next Christmas shopping a pleasure. Watch for the announcements. News from Washington is that the black night cf depression is growing grey in the east and that business skies are brightening. We hope so and we hope it so strong j that we don't care what political i patty gets credit for it. What we all want is a more prosperous condition cf the country and the fellow who can dope out the proper tonic will not only be a hero to ! make Lindbergh look like a sparrow but a king who can have what !he wants when he wants it. Let; ! him come and all hail him earn- ’ j * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File I » — « November 29. 1910—40.000 garment workers on strike in Chicago engage in riots. Rev. J. W.

GANG BULLETS ! MOW DOWN 35 IN NEW YORK Reign of Terror Averages Three Shootings Per Day New York. Nov. 29. —(U.R) —Thirty-1 11 five persons, most of them belie v-1 Jed to be gangsters, were killed and j ’ 54 wounded in the month follow- j , ing the shooting of Jack (Legs). ; Diamond in the Monticello Hotel » on October 12. | In the so-called "reign of terror.” I j an average of three persons a day : i ! were cut down by gunfire. At least ■ il9 of these shootings were com-' . I mitted by racketeers, analysis i ’ shows, not one of whom eras ar<.rested. Many others listed mider "caiises |! unknown.” are thought by the po-j I lice to be of gangster origin. William Lewis Butcher, chair- , man of the police department Advisory Committee on Crime Prevention and member of the State' Crime Commission, and Dr. Harry Shulman, director of research for the Crime Commission, have united' ' in urging that the district attor- 1 ! neys of the five counties in the city consider the advisability of John ! Doe inquiries into the racketeering situation. . Butcher and Shulman feel that l the police are helpless through the determination of gangsters to settle their difficulties in their own way. They cited, as an argument sor 1 John Doe inquiries, the success of j Supreme Court Justice John E. I McGeehan in driving building trades racketeers out of the Bronx! when he was district attorney l there a year ago. The above figures do not include shootings in Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties nor in New Jersey. Many of these are thought: by the police to be directly traceable to local racket disputes. o Hairpin Kills Woman Mellen.
