Give that first and then spend the rest. Bet you don't realize that you have only thirteen shopping days before Christmas and they will slip around before you get your 1 lists made up if you don't get right i down to brass tacks and go at it. ( If you must give the children ' coins to place in their mouth, better get a supply of dimes or old fashioned three cent pieces. A four-year-old at Kendallville swallowed a quarter and had to be rushed to a Fort Wayne hospital before the coin could be recovered. No profit in that. — The Angola marshal who died of I alcoholic poisoning was probably , retained on the force because of his keen scent. He is said to have been a very efficient official but how he could arrest others for the same offense of which he was evi- ' uently guilty is one ot the modern day enigmas. The Oliver Farm Equipment Company has put a thcusand more men to work in their South Bend plant. That's new of sufficient importance to replace the sensational episodes of the first pages. Perhaps we have turned the corner and are headed for that prosperity we have all wished fcr so long. Visit the corn show. You will ■ enjoy it and every program in con- j motion. This is a strictly agricul-1 tural section and when the farm- ’ ers are interested in a project we I ought to be.

that and more. Indianapolis is talking about a municipally owned street railway system which may be alright if they are sure they will nover have another Stephenaon, Duvall or Coffin. Turning that over to political bosses is a problem so serious that it should be and no doubt will be carefully considered. President Hoover is worrying ’ about the Root world court treaty and it seems doubtful that it will pass before the end of the regular session, but that isn't what is exercising most folks—its when and how will conditions improve a'nd the treaty probably doesn't effect that very much. Unless the Good Fellow fund grows more rapidly than it has so far, the young ladies in charge will have a problem that just can't be solved. They have given their money and are willing to do a lot of work to make Christmas a happy , occasion for the poor kiddies but i without some additional cash, it I just can't be done. Surely this I community does not want these little boys and girls to lose faith in Santa Claus or the community. Bishop Manning may not be light in every thing but he certainly has the right slant on former Judge Ben Lindsey and his book v hiidt advocates free love and a lot of other foolish things that can only bring trouble and disgrace for those who indulge. Lindsey v.as present when the bishop made his charges Sunday morning and a riot followed his attempts to explain himself before the congregation. Perhaps a few affairs of this kind will clear the atmosphere of some of these silly, modernistic ideas and the air sure needs a good washing. The prompt action of the Huntington school authorities as a result <f the Saturday night egg throwing incident is commendable and proves clearly that they believe in clean sportsmanship and in gentlemanly actions by the fans as well as the players. One of the dangers of indulging in school sports is over enthusiasm of the fans. The teams need and deserve support but that should not mean that the boys and girls should not always conduct themselves as gentlemen and ladles. The five i youngsters no doubt now realize I their mistake and that their acI tions have only disgraced themsejves and injured their school for which they perhaps thought they were fighting. The ever increasing cost of goveminent is one of the causes of present day economic ailments. Os that there seems to be no doubt and the 1931 general assembly of Indiana will do well to keep the fact in mind. One of the useless expenses was recently called to our attention by a gasoline jobber. The state maintains a force cf inspectors who from time to time call on the jobbers. The inspector tests a quart of gas supposed to be from each ear, by using a hydrometer. pours the gas in his car and hurries on to another station. Experts declare the hydrometer tests useless and say the $6.50 per car charged is an overlapping of taxes I without any results. If these facts I are true, and that can easily be ascertained, certainly we ought to either improve the test or do away with the department. o Germany’s Many Mureumi Germany Ims more than 1.500 inn scums. 45 per cent of which are ethnographical in character, while less than 10 per cent are devoted te art. o Natural Amphitheater What Is known as a •’cirque" Is i a deep, steeptwalled amphitheatrnl I recess in a mountain, generally i ascribed to glacial erosion. o .

f - - | “It’s the little things * that tell” ue JJI * THAT’S what big sister said to her boy friend as she Jfi pulled little brother out from under the sofa. But wait till big sister and the boy friend are man and wife, with a home of their own to run. Then how ue much more she’ll realize the truth of her observa|g tion! 3= For then the age old problems will come pressing ffi hard. So much in the pocketbook. So much on the shopping list. Will it fit? Then’s when the little ffi things make the big difference. The little savings—the smaT economies—the slightly better values of which a good housekeeper takes advantage. Then’s when big sister will read the advertise- : $ ments as she never read them before. Comparing values; learning reliable brands; watching the bar!fi gain and reduction announcements. . . . The adver- , rfrj tisements will help her in a thousand ways to take . ® care of the little things, acquire the little short-cuts ic in time and effort —in the big job of running a home. Read the advertisements every day. Consistently Ft advertised goods are worthy of your confidence . .. otherwise they couldn’t be consistently advertised. j Decatur Daily Democrat
