Dig up a dollar for the Good Fel-' • few club and you will be well started on your trip fcr a Merry Christmas. You just won't enjoy yourself to the limit unless you Help in the campaign to provide necessities to make every boy and girl happy and this is how. How old should a man be before he retires? Depends on the man. Oliver Wendall Holmes is eightynine and this week began his twenty-ninth year as a member of 1 th? United States Supreme Court. His mind is active and his judgmenc sound ami he does not shirk a single dity. Th? officials, both school and city, in Huntington, have apclogized for the assault made upon local people who attended the basketball game their the other evening and have also seen that those guilty were punished, which is certainly all that could be asked. We believe their prompt action should be endorsed by those here. Os course every one will buy all they can fcr Christmas and thats a fine spirit but there is another angle to it. Paying for things bought is just as important. If i you have some old bills hanging around, and if you want to do something that will bring seme joy, pay your old bills so your ci editor can be happy likewise. The corn show is going along nicely and hundreds of people are | daily visiting the rooms where the exhibits have been arranged. The programs are cf great interest and every one seems to be more than pleased with the event. We are hoping it can be made an annual event and that it will grow from year to year. Senator Walsh is right when he says that a few million will not relieve the present unemployment situation or bring relief. To do it right we should have a billion dollars he declares. Why not? Wouldn't it just mean more money in circulation and isn't that the cure for our difficulties? Suppose PLEASANT RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Shoulders droop under weight of years. Young, yet beauty has fled. Cheeks are sallow and drawn. Unsightly pimples. Keep your system clean and you keep the beauty of youth. Its energy. Its irresistible charm. Then life is not a failure. Clogged bowels and inactive liver cause poisons to seep through the system. Health vanished and with it beauty and energy. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets will help save you from this dark hour. For 20 years they have been prescribed in place of calomel to men and women seeking health and freedom from constipation. They act easily and smoothly. No dangerous griping. Take nightly before retiring. Results will amaze you. Thousands of men and women would never be without Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, a vegetable compound. Know them by their olive color. 15c 30c and 60c. All druggists.

we don't pay any on the war debl next year but do provide employ mont for a couple of million. Isn't that more important? Seems t<: ( us the proper proceodure is clear. The five Gary youths who drank t a quantity of alcohol and then caused the death of Miss Arlene r Draves in one way or another must face the serious charges of murder. Their spree has turned into ) a nightmare, which will bring > troubled dreams for many years to j come. No difference what the rej suits they have ruined their lives ) and brought sorrow to their friends. 1 The lesson should be that every youth has the responsibility of being careful of his habits and his associates. i - - You've probably been seated in the old arm chair, somewhere midway of the house, as mother calls from the kitchen and daughter called from upstairs with the result you heard both but understood neither. Or, you have probably worked in an office with two telephones and tried to guess just which one of the two you should answer when the bell rings. “Regusting,” but nothing to the troubj les of that family up in Canada , with seven babies all under one year of age. Mother has brought' two sets of twins into the world within the year, , and married daughter, living at home, is the mother of triplets. The problem of just where to rush with a bottle of milk cr “w'hatever the little dear needs” when baby cries in that household is about to drive the family crazy.—Bluffton Banner. Julius Rosenwald's gift of $25,000 to the Indiana Dune park development fund is another example of his public spirit and generosity. He and other citizens who wish a recreation place within easy reach of Chicago have made contributions to the park development program in recent years of money and land amounting to about $400,000. Some of this came from residents of Indiana and citizens of other states than Illinois. The policy of park development through gifts and bequests as much as by the expenditure of public funds is winning public favor. The state has thus been able to become the own* er of park sites that it could not have paid for from state funds. The dunes district has had sup I port from Chicago because it is a comparatively short distance from ®>at city, which was as much interested in its development for park purposes as was the state. There are other sites suitable for paik purposes, rich in natural beauty and waiting merely for generosity to make their purchase possible. The conservation department has tried to pay its way as t went, and has succeeded to a large extent. The small admission fee charged at all of the state parks is a revenue producer, helps to pay for park acquisition, development and maintenance. — Indianapolis News. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | | From the Daily Democrat File I ♦ « December 10, 1910 — Mother of Rev.

U. S. PARKS BAN | FOREIGN PLANTS Washington, Dee. 10. — (U.R) — Plants and animals that are not native to the national parks and monuments henceforth will have less chance than ever of invading the areas. It has been found, in the rarej instances in which they have crept in, that exotic species of wild life; l.ave a tendency to endanger the native forms through competition/ Since the National Park Service's task is to preserve the parks in thiir natural condition, park officials have been asked, in guarding against intrusion, to lay particular stress upon the desirability of park people using native plants in the gardens around their homes. The ox-eye daisy is an outstanding example cf what exotic plants do when they once get a chance to nth wild, according to Horace M. Albright, director of the National Park Service. Years ago a few of these plants were used in a garden in Yosemite National Park. Later, through they were removed from the garden, their progeny were afterwards discovered growing wild in one of the park meadows and considerable time and effort were required to eradicate them. The humble but prolific burro I presented a serious problem when| the National Park Service took charge of the Grand Canyon. Originally taken into the country by prospectors and miners, some of the burros were left to become wild. Their numbers grew out of all proportion to the few original settlers, and they invaded the Grand Canyon, becoming a pest through their destruction of the PILES THOUSANDS An old Chinese Proverb says, “Nine tn 10 suffer from piles,” but the pain and itching of blind, protruding or bleeding piles usually are alleviated within a few minutes by soothing, healing Dr. Nixon’s Chinasoid, fortified with a rare, Imported Chinese Herb, having amazing power to reduce swollen tissues. It’s the newest and fastest acting treatment out. You can work and enjoy life right from the start while it continues its healing action. Don’t delay. Act in time to avoid a dangerous and costly operation. Try Dr. Nixon's Chinaroid under our guarantee to satisfy completely and be worth 100 times the small cost or your money back.
