Santa Claus two weeks from j i next Thursday. Its time to be looking around for your gifts. The 1 local stores are filled with beautiful and useful gifts at surprisingly low prices. Experts declare business has taken a turn for the better and we believe they are right though it j may be some time before it is really felt. The business men who ; take advantage of their opportun- , ities will b ready when the breaks do come. Drop a coin in one of the Good Fellow boxes. You will find them at the banks or at this office. The I fund is starting slowly but we are! hoping it will move along rapidly I from now on. Don’t disappoint the boys and girls whose faces will be pressed against cold windows on Christmas morning. The farm relief board reports that over production is the cause of the farmers ills. Os course it was hoped they would use their funds and salaries to provide some market that might overcome this but they throw up their hands and put it back to the agriculturist. So thats about all you can expect from that source it seems. The various report that many have already started their 1931 Christmas Saving membership. Next week is just the proper time. Figure out what you wish to save each week, a quarter, dollar, five or more and then deposit it weekly. You will have it next holiday along with compounded interest. Your attention is called to the two-page spread and the program for the big'corn show to be held here. That’s an important event j for this is an agricultural community and what is of interest to the farmer should be of vital interest to all of us. Read the program and the advertisements, attend the show, meet your friends and take your part in one of the greatest events of the year. When Mr. Hoover talked about a capitol-gains tax most of us wondered just what he meant but his explanation that he needed $150,000,000 to take care of the jobless and hungry was a language that we all understood. Capitol-gains is just a new phrase for soup houses and doesn’t sound quite so harsh to the president’s sensitive ears. Elza O. Rogers, republican state chairman, says he won’t work with the democrats in drafting a reapportionment bill but he may change

Ibis mind. He can’t get any where! | with a strictly partisan measure this year for the assembly will he divided politically and unless conations change considerably the next two years, the gentleman may j he glad to g«t any thing he can be-, fore long. Reing fair in politics Is j always a good rule whether one’s! | party is in or out or a tie. If the world is raising too much ! wheat It seems wise for the farm-1 eis to raise something else. We I don't seem to be using as much wheat us we did some years ago (and besides that we are producing more and so are other nations. The j wise farmers will figure out that product which is short and raise i that the next year. Perhaps some time we will be short on wheat and then that will be the best crop hut that will be several years. In (he middle west the wheat crop is not important any way. Corn, j sugar beets, garden crops and ether things along the line of intensive farming are more profli table. - What will be Decatur's program for 1931? its an important thing !to be thinking about for in less jthan a month the New Year will jbe slipping in and only those eomi munities which prove their worth jby going after those things of j special benefit to the citizens, will jgrow and prosper. There are a number of things that ought to be on the list —a canning factory that will provide a local market during the summer months fer the farmers of this trading radius, some aid to the local plants here now, a campaign for beet acreage, improvement of parks, securing of , pavement on the Pecatur-Hunting-ton and Deeatur-Willshire roads and a lot of other things. Trade days and special events will help. Will we have an agricultural fair? Right now is the time to decide these things and to get busy.

RARE AMERICAN EXHIBIT HELD FDR BUILDING Collection of Native Arts Guarded by French Museum - By Stewart Brown I United I‘fcss Stats Correspondent I’urls, Dec. G (UP)—The world’s j most remarkable and complete colI lection of native American etlmI ology and archaeology is gathered in Paris. Many of the items in the lion were gathered by early French explorers who penetrated into the unknown regions of United States from Canada. Thousands of them are irreplaceable examples of lost American arts. There are more than 150.000 items in the collection to which recently was added 500 pieces of the handicraft of the Stony. Blackfeet and Cree tribes presented to the Trocadero Museum by Paul Coze. French painter and authority on American Indian life. The American collection is being guarded by the Trocadero Museum until a special building can be built to house it. A special glass from Saint Gobain will be used for the gallery windows. This will not permit the | passage of those sun rays which affect colors and fade precious textiles. A start toward the construction of the special gallery has been made possible through the contri-l tuition of $25,000 by the Association ' dcs Amis du Louvre (Association of Friends of the Louvre). Com-1 mittees are being formed in the j United States and South America to campaign for $40,000 more to complete the proposed building. MONROE NEWS The Monroe M. E.

Sign Os Progress .. t BETTERMENT. That is the watchword of American progress. As a nation we are not content to stand still. We want better foods, we want newer and better ways of doing: thingrs, labor-saving- devices, short-cuts. We want more comforts and luxuries for our homes. We want better automobiles at lower costs. We want better houses, better stores, better means of transportation. We want to dress better and to play and enjoy ourselves more. Progress is reflected by the advertising found in the newspaprs. It is through advertising that we first learn of the newest in merchandise, the newest methods, the newest of everything. Advertising is the sign of progress and often the source of it. Read the advertisements in this newspaper. Study them. Profit by them. They will help you secure what you need and want for less money than you often expect to pay. Keep up with the advertising and advertising will help you keep abreast of the times. For advertising supplies new ideas, new methods, and new inspirations to a work-a-day world. Advertising is not only the sign of progress —advertising is progress. • Be progressive... keep in touch with the advertisements in this newspaper it will be well worth your while, Decatur Daily Democrat

FRANCE BUILDS SECRETLY TO WIN AVIATION HONOR Distance Planes Being Assembled Behind Closed Doors Paris, Dec. G —(UP) - France’s welcome to Diendonne Costea and Maurice Bellonte harely had died away from technicians in French airplane factories turned back to the construction of super-planes which the French Ministry of Air ltelieves will make France complete master of the air for 1931. Two planes already are under constuction, one of them destined for Oostes and the other probably for Joseph Le Brix. They are designed on paper to carry a pair of airmen nearly half-way around the world. France expects to carry the world’s distance record, which Coetes already won for her, to well beyond 10,000 kilometres with these planes. The Ministry of Air has ordered these distance planes to be monomotor instead of fitted with several motors. One motor consumes much less fuel and the Air Ministry has decided to sacrifice safety factors for fuel. The planes are being built In secrecy and, in fact were conceived in secrecy. Each will cost 2.000,000 francs. No other plane built up to now can hope to link Paris with Tokyo in one flight and that is what France expects of these ships. One of the planes is being built in the Breguet plant, to be fitted with a Hispano motor. The other is nearing completion in the Bleriot factories and even may be ready for exhibition at the next aviation salon. The Ministry of Air does not believe either of the great planes will be ready for actual record-attempt-ing flight before mid-summer of 1931. But by August, one or the other will be off from Baris for a non-stop flight, either to Brazil and the Argentine or to Japan. At the same time, the ministry has ordered a series of seaplanes for South Atlantic flights, and ordered what was hoped would prove to be the fastest seaplane afloat, for entering the Schneider Cup
