It 1 always takes a few days to get used to it but after that we feel we have always done it the new! way. There is still time and opportunity to join a Christmas Saving club and any of the three banks in Decatur will accomodate you. It's a fine thing to do. Larger and better prisons is the demand now being made upon the stale and the serious part of it is. we need them. At Michigan City 53(1 convicts are taken care of in I 340 cells and that's dangerous. The finest resolution you epn make is that you will do every " thing you can all the time to help ' your community.

" There is sound sense in the ■ warning sent out by the Chicago Safety Council for those who plan t ~ to celebrate New Years and they j - are good for any period of the I . year: "If you drive an automobile, don't drink, and if you drink don’t drive an automobile.'

stand. Renew al once and make the campaign an easy one. Jack Wilhelm, for a number of years manager of the Huntington Press ami Herald-Press is leaving Huntington for LaGrange, I Georgia, where he will have charge of the Georgia Newspapers, Inc., a string of dailies. Jack is one of the hustling newspaper men of this part of Indiana, qualified and with 1 personality. He will make good in | Ills new job as lie always has and 1 we congratulate him for the promotion which be is most deserving of. Six men, charged with having taken part in the lynching at Marion last August and which shock ed Indiana and the nation, are on trial before a jury of twelve men in Grant county this week. It is an important trial for while no one defends the terrible acts of the colored men who were hanged, every one who believes in justice, deplores the lynching bee in which .enraged men took the law into i their hands. If they have the right men and can prove it, there can 1 be but one outcome and that their ' conviction. People have learned one lesson ’in 1930 and that is an important lone. They have found out that I they can not go on spending money j hike millionaires when their in-1 ! comes do not justify it. Thrift land frugality are two things that the American people forgot when | prosperous times came during the 1 war period. When debts are paid and people so adjust themselves as to live within their means, times will get better. And do not forget that before we have real prosperity the agricultural industry must b- advanced to a higher plane.— 1 Hartford City News. In referring to a Washington "coming out party" Friday night, in which the parents of the young I lady are said to have spent a million dollars, Senator Norris of Nebraska, says: "I haven't a thing against Mr. Doherty, and I am glad the daughter had such a fine party but I think she could have had just as much fun on less money. Money was scattered away extravagantly and wastefully while 'the people across the street were hungry. It is time for thinking | men and women to think what is wrong with our prosperity when I such a situation prevails.’’ As the I senator has well said the lavish display of money in the present time of so much distress has its lack of good taste, still most of jth- money went to men who have phings to sell, florists, dressmakers. musicians and a goodly number of laborers. One mighty fine way to get it into circulation.— j j Bluffton Banner. ♦ -- ♦. Modern Etiquette 1' Ey I ROBERTA LEE •— <iI.PJ ♦ Q. What are the requirements ot ,1 good conversationalist? A.
