If the depress-! ion is caused by the condition of ' cur minds lets get it right out and ' go to work. Join the Good Fellow Club and i help the Delta Theta Tan make j Christmas something besides just ■ another day for a lot of poor kid-I dies in this community. Remem-1 her the demands this year are | greater than ever before. The merchant who is not advertising this week is certainly overlooking a mighty fine opportunity tc Increase his business. The people are watching and waiting ' for your announcements and a few ; words in this paper will bring them ! to your store. Try it tomorrow I and see. Reports from a number of the larger corporations say that they - have entirely caught up on the , ever supply and that within a short I time the factories will be going at I whatever speed is necessary to ■ meet the requirements of the pub-I lie. That will prove helpful and ’ heaity. — The government is planning to [ spend fifty million dollars the next | year to enforce prohibition. We i don't know whether this is done to I provide work for the unemployed j or for real business but it does | seem that the more they'spend the! more violations there are of the law. The Adams county special com t ndttee for the welfare of the poor I of tlie county is asking for cloth-1 ing and shoes with which to care | for ■ the unfortunates who may ■ otherwise suffer during ‘the coming mouths. This is a cause that no 1 one should even think of over-1 looking. Help make others comfortable and ycu will be more so. ■■ - — Th Christmas Saving .Clubs are I going along nicely and hundreds have already signified their desire to join one cf them. Each of the three Drcatur banks have these tilths and each is invjting you to join. Join one or two or all three ol them and save as much as you can the next year. It will prove a great help in many ways and will assure ycu plenty of funds for next holiday season. — So far th; re has not been much | interest manifested in the Good |

1 Fellow Club and the young ladies who ure supporting it seem to bo somewhat dissappointed. They however have not given up hope and they won’t for they know the good people of this community,' ’ know that their hearts beat for 1 every poor boy and girl and wish . them to all be huppy on Christmas Day. Don't put It off too long. Tim president's message to conigress was about two-thirds a tiresome explanation of the present conditions, which seems like a waste of effort. We all know them land what percentage present business volumne Compares to previous days does not effect the situation. What every one is more interested in is that If any thing is going to be done to improve business. We don't want another 1930. In his more general discussion of national affairs, Mr. Hoover suggested more things for future con- ' sideration by congress than he did for action during the present short i session, which, as he pointed out. 1 I will have little time for legislation. | Among the matters he would like!, ito see disposed of between now ■and March are the Muscle Shoals ’ question, the question of bus regu- ( i lation, the problem of relieving ■ congestion in the courts, the re- I ! organization of the border patrol I for the prevention of smuggling. , and, as he intimated at the very i end of his address, the question of ' acceptance of the world court protocols. On January 1 a new billboard , law will go into effect in New Jersey, the object being to reduce the hazards cf the street and road and preserve the scienc view. Billboards will be subject to strict ' regulation, all requiring permits from the state vehicle department. 1 if they obscure the view and make , driving dangerous, permits will not t be issued. They will also be de- 1 i nied if the billboard obscures a "fine bit of scenery." Most bill--1 boards will be taxed 3 cents per i I square foct. For rei*t and for sale , signs must be under two square I feet in size, but when erected on . the premises advertised are not : subject to tax. It is a promising I law and its effectiveness will be j' | observed with interest. The recent election brought to I the attention of the people the ■ value as well as the necessity of j independently and locally owned ! lines of business. As a matter of i fact we heard much about chain i business organizations during the j election. The people are aroused Ito the dangers of concentrated business ownership and control. It is 1 pretty well agreed that this growI ing tendency in our country to center everything in the big cities is a dangerous tendency. There • may be some advantages in the : way of efficiency and economy but it is the same kind of an advantage which comes with a “one man'' government. It is agreed by most, writers of history that when a despot is a goed despot, the government is usually efficient but the weight of history also is to the effect that the rights as well as the liberties of the people are better assured by a democratic form of g-vernment. It is the same in busI ine. s. While there may be econ- [ c mies and a degree of efficiency I in centralized control of business, I the dangers inherent are such as Ito overwhelmingly establish the demand for diversified ownership I and control. It would be a sorry day for our .country when the. ownership of banks, stores, factories and businesses of all kinds comes to be centered in the great cities. Abuses wuuid certainly result. Carried to its logical con--1 elusion such ownership and control would merely make the coun- ! I try at large a field to be exploited by the big business interests centrally located. —From a Minnesota | Exchange. o —- Car load Texas Oranges on G.
