This is a good time to resolve j that next year yon will do your ; Christinas shopping early. President Hoover favors the I highesht wage scale on all govern-1 ment jcbs which is fine only for the i fact that every one can't work for j Uncle Sam. Twenty-five orphan babies will find new homes tomorrow at Memphis. Pictures of the babes were published in a newspaper and every youngster was adopted, making a happy Christmas for every one concerned. The children are enjoying their j annual vacation or should be. It ; will continue until January sth mid in the mean time they will have the opportunity to play all the games and use the sleds and skates that Santa brings. If you happen to get any cash in your stocking this evening, re- , member that about the best thing ! you can do is to join a Christmas club. The banks will guard your money carefully, pay you interest and assure you of funds for your shopping next December. ————■■ Tire-income tax for the U. S.

lin 1931 when the government will I notice the let down. —w—• Its the glad Christmas season and we wish you one and all from the bottom of our heart the Mer- • rlest Christinas you ever had. Fori get all the bad turns ot the past year, remember only the happy ■ events, enjoy your turkey and your treat and have a real old fashioned I Christmas. 1 Decatur merchants have expressi cd the seasons wishes to you and 1 they mean every word. After all its fine to live in a community | where every one knows his neighbor, weeps with him in sorrow and laughs with him in joy. The local merchant means it when he says: “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." Two fifteen-year-old lads at Laurel, Indiana, tried to frighten a night watchman by crawling on top of a wall and ordering him to throw up his hands. A shot from I his revolver struck one of the boys iin the abdomen. This is not a very I good time to attempt such a joke i on an officer, it would seem. Now Robert Lucas, executive head of the republican party is beI ing criticized because he used a SIO,OOO fund to defeat progressives in th recent election. Evidently Lucas and his associates, including Senator Jim Watson, believe a democrat is safer than a recalcitrant republican. Any way it is stirring up a right lively fuss. If there is a child in this vicinity who has not been made happy by tomorrow morning by a substantial vfsit from Santa Claus its bei cause the ladies of Delta Theta Tau have not received their names. Hundreds of children will receive gifts of foods, clothing, tops and other things. Its a great old world after all. Former governor Warren T. McCray. of Indiana, is granted a pardon from President Hoover as a Christmas gift and it is doubtful if any package from Santas pack wilfoe more appreciated. Mr. McCray was released from Atlanta three years ago. He has paid a heavy penalty for whatever mistakes lie made and the people of the state are glad for his pardon. ■ —' Holiday trading has been very 1 satisfactory, due we believe largely to the advertising of the merchants. Business can be continued if advertising is kept up. It is just as important as ycur rent, Mr. Storekeeper, and when you don't no one you are foolish to do the other. The inventories come next and then the sales and those who use printer's ink in good sized doses will profit. Our congratulations to the comi munity and to the Delta Theta Tau ' for the wonderful showing of the jGood Fellows club. No city which meets the situation as was done jthis year to provide a happy ChristI mas for the poor kiddies can be I classed as any tiling but a first i class r'ace in which to live. One ■of the few good things about times of depression is the fact that it tends to pull us all closer together and to resume the old fashioned practise of helping each other. After all, the Golden Rule is about as good a text as we can find. The New Year approaches and we should buckle on the armour and go out to fight the spirit of depression which has hung over the nation the past year. We believe we are about to the bottom and that a gradual trend upward will soon be noticeable. Those communities which just grumble and growl and talk hard times, will have them but those wherein the folks make an extra effort will step forward more rapidly than ever. A dozen fighters can make this town a good one. the coming year as it has been in the past. o —— Mrs. Kenneth Bergman of Fort Wayne visited inAhis city last even _ ing.

DEAD!) SNAKES TO WRITHE IN NATIONAL ZOO Zoological Park Director Adds 500 Specimens to Collection Washington. Dee. 1’ — (UP) — Some of the' world’s most deadly snakes w:.l writhe in cages of the new reptile house of National Zoo-! I logical Park when it is opened'next month. Five hundred reptiles have just been brought to the United States from Cuba and Central America by; Dr. William M. Mann, director of the park. Chopping through the! | dense jungle. Dr, and Mrs. Mann captured alive such creatures as the cora snake for whose bite no antidote is known: venomous tree; vipers, including one species whose! fangs point backward and a giant Panama boa constrictor. Perhaps the rarest is the spotted; and crested basilisk, a lizard which; actually walks upon water. Slender,; green, with a disporportionately ; long tail it uses all its four legs I i to skim the surface, but generally 1 rises upon its hind legs when on | land. A dozen giant chameleons, five] i times the size of the ordinary I i European variety, were found ini I Honduras. They are usually bright ■ green with yellowish-brown markI tags on the head, but like other species can change their hue on a moment's notice. Near the ancient Maya city of ; Quirigua Honduras, they found the jungle so thick they were forced to I hack their way along. The only way lin which lizards could be captured was by chasing them through the bush and seizing them in the hands regardless of the bites. Eighteen large iguanas, spiney and wrinkled, were among the reptiles caught. Many rare fishes also were caught for the reptile house museum. Some of them bear living young. o"MAGLEY NEWS 1 ♦ A Merry Christmas to All Mr. and Mrs. Losier Eckrote ami j Miss Esther Dettinger were supper guests Friday of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Fruchte of Fort Wayne C.
