The Prince of Wales had a chill j and was ordered to bed by the i royal physician. Sometinits we ■ have felt the same way. -j Down there in Central America | the country of Guatemala has had three presidents in a week. Trying to keep up with the neighboring country of Mexico. The now 1931 auto license plat' s will go on sale December 26. In this county they will be distributed by J. L. Ehler, county license agent. Too bad that we can’t get i them for Christmas presents. It’s really important that you join one of the Christmas Savings clubs at one of the Decatur banks. ' A few dollars saved during the year will come in handy next Christmas and you know the sayi'.g, “my how fast time flies.” In Wells county $33,796 less in taxes will be collected next year, due to lower valuations and reduc'd tax rates in Bluffton and in some townships. The total tax bill payable next year is $850,750 and the saving will be appreciated by everyone over there. The G neral Electric employes, the Moose lodge, the Red Men and other organizations in the city are |' going to entertain the children at Christmas parties, adding to the joy and happiness of the little ones. It's a fine thing to do and one of the ways to obtain real enjoyment for yourself. I The tragedy, taking the life of Aloysius Leng- rich, aged 12. when a gun was accidentally discharged, brings sorrow to the friends of the families involved. The victim’s companion is grief stricken and i verycne knowrf*that lie suffers and : needs the sympathy of others now. We express our sympathy to both families and believe we ‘realize how they feel. — - Shippers are busy and although | many waited until the last week t they are trying to make up for lost time by shopping early in the day.

We are Prepared to do anything in the WOODWORKING LINE, machine work, guming, saw filing of all kinds, and grinding tools. We also build truck bodies and repair auto tops. Trailers from. .. .$35 to $55 Our feed mill operates; every day. We also grind corn meal and whole wheat flour on a special machine recently installed. Give us a trial. P. Kirsch

lAs an accommodation to those j who cannot get up town during the day, many of th£ local merchants are keeping their stores open in the evening and the next few days will see brisk business. It makes your heart glad to see* the contributions coming in for the Good -Fellows club. The total reeieved is nbw over S4OO and it's reasonable to predict that the goal of SSOO will be reached before Christmas. Contributing to this fund is one way of helping those who are not as fortunate as yourself In having a Merry Christmas. A dollar or two will help provide Christmas joy for someone. Among the ten biggest news events of 1930, as selected by Kent Cooper, head of the Associated Press, were the finding of the bones of Andre near the north pole, Bobby Jones winning his fourth major golf championship, the birth [of the Lindbergh baby, the return 'of King Carol to Roumania and the tragedy at the Ohio penitenItiary. Others may have their idea j about the outstanding news events jot the year, but if anyone attempts I tc compile a list several of the I above must be included. = - — I The committee of citizens of j Linn Grove are taking the right 1 step in trying to secure better fire protection for the town. It is planned to build two pumping stations on the banks of the Wabash river, thus furnishing the town with ample water supply and the necessary equipment will also be secured. the committee assures. It's important that every community has ample fire protection and the step taken at Linn Grove is in the right direction. Arthur Robb, writing in the D \ cember 13th, issues of Editor and Publisher, newspapers trade magazine, on "The Power of Advertising”, says: "The place of the newspaper as a tactical unit of business *.t rat,s*gy . needs but little delineation. Skilfully used by competent merchants in the year of 1930, it has overcome for them the undoubtedly tremendous shrinkage in public buying power, and, as pointed out, the volume of retail business follows closely the relative volume ,of retail newspaper advertising, compared with last year.’’ The county commissioners have acted wisely and used good business judgment in buying a building to be used as a county highway garage. Trucks, road equipment and other machinery of the highway department will be stored in the building and the highway department will do its own repair on motor vehicles and machinery. The plan should save the county many hundreds of dollars a year, net alone in rentals but in saving machinery, heretofore exposed to the weather. The state highway ! department and many Indiana counties own and operate their garages. 0 * T WENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File ♦ « December 19, 1910 - Seventeen killed and 20 injured in explosion which destroys N.
