Bill Rogers says that if we accept a couple of battleships from England on her war debt we ought to take a load or two of spaghetti from Italy. And we suppose sauer kraut from Germany, wines from France and “reds” from Russia. Certainly none of our visitors today failed to recognize the hospitable feeling of every one connected with the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., and the Chamber of Commerce. We assure them if any thing Was left undone it was an oversight. Hon. Frank Mayr, Jr., secretary of state, visited this city last evening, inspecting the license bureau and meeting a number of old and hew friends. Mr. Mayr is a splendid gentleman, a careful and capable official and is a recognized leader in the state. By the way two weeks from next Monday is the last day for paying the fall installment of taxes. Its | always a tough job but there is a ray of cheer in the fact that next year s rate will be forty cents less on the hundred than this. That will help some. "An invitation, honest and sin-’ cere, is extended to every Dairy Day visitor to remain in Decatur for the Chamber of Commerce celebration which begins immediately after the program at the creamery and continues until ten o'clock, closing with a sensational free act and the awarding of SIOO in gold. Let's make it a great day. The Treasure Hunt this evening should attract large numbers of people to the windows of the various stores down town and you are reminded that if you step inside you will find some more treasures in the form of unheard o£ oargains in tlie latest and best merchandise for fall and winter. Don't miss this part of the days program. Since they have discovered that Mrs. Ida Wood. 93-year-old recluse of New York, had about a million dollars in large bills hidden in her room, the relatives are putting up a good scrap. It is said that Mrs. Wood's husband won the money over the gaming tables, so it is

probably fitting that the relation take a "long shot” on getting a piece of it. Dairy Day means much to this community and likewise to those engaged in dairying over a hun- , dred mile radius. While the recent depression was felt to some extent ; in this line as in all others, it looks now as though it would be the very first to stage a comeback. There are happy days ahead for those who are engaged in this ever growing business. George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instructions, was a Decatur visitor this week, attending a meeting of the trustees held here yesterday. Mr. Cole praised the local men for their successful schools and for their cooperation generally. Mr. Cole is an earnest official who works at his job all the time, has excellent ideas and knows how to carry them out. Welcome to Decatur Governor and Mrs. Leslie. We realize that the demands upon your time are many and ardous and we are happy that you recognize the importance cl the great business of dairying and are willing to assist in any event intended to further advance it. We hope you have been impressed with the sincerity of purpose back of today's events and that you will continue to say the fine things about Decatur and the I Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., that you have spoken today. Herbert Johnson killed Bert C. Frye, country store keeper near Lagrange June sth. He was arrested the next day, held in Michigan City prison until last week when he was brought to Lagrange for trial. A jury of stern men found him guilty of murder in the I first degree and Judge Carlin who lis not afraid to deal out justice, sentenced him to death in the electric chair on February 12th next. It may seem harsh to the sob sisters but it appears to be the only method that will eventually ..lull.An end to the banditry spree now prevailing. The superintendent, principals, teachers, clerks and janitors of the public schools have shown the right spirit by their donation of one days salary, a total of nearly S4OO, to the charity fund. With such cooperation as that we certainly have nothing to fear in this territory. The school folks have always done much for the needy of this community and have done it in a verymodest manner, so it is not surprising that at this time they step forward in this maganimous way but it is nevertheless greatly appreciated. Their action should inspire us all to do our utmost. o RESOLUTION OF RESPECT Eureka Temple No. 39. We. the committee appointed to draft resolutions of respect to our departed sister Margaret France whose death occurred September 14th 1931 would submit the followng. Whereas it has pleased in his all I wise, mysterious pt evidence to call I from us to his realm above the | spirit of our departed sister, and I while we bow in humble submission to the Divine call, it is but fitting that we bear testimony to her good qualities and express in this manner our deep sorrow to her sorrow stricken daughter and sis-1 ters and brother. For them it is an irreparable loss. Resolved, That we extend to her family and friends our heartfelt sympathy in this their time of sorrow and commend them to the infinite love; and mercy of God. Resolye, That our charter be draped in mourning for 30 days, a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the lodge, a copy be sent to the family and to the citypaper. Mrs. Effie Schug.

RAILROAD AT BOTTOM OF JAP TROUBLE Manchurian Disagreement Caused By Troops Guarding Tracks Washington, Oct. 14.—(U.R) —The Chinese-Japanese clash in Manchuria again has turned the minds of statesmen and history students to the salient role of railroads in the drama of imperial expansion. Nervousness of the Allies over the contemplated Berlin to Bagdad railroad was a secondary cause of the World War. And now, in Manchuria. two Oriental giants are threatening war over a railroad. It is about the 700-mile trackage of the Japanese-owned South Manchurian railroad that a rich civilization is being developed in China’s eastward province. It is to protect this large investment that Japan maintains 10,400 troops on what is technically Chinese Soil. And it was due to the presence of these troops that started the SinoJapanese disagreement. A comprehensive resume of the railroad's history and its influence on Chinese-Japanese affairs has just been completed by the National Geographic Society. Rapid development of Manchuria followed construction of the road, the report pointed out. Before the Chinese Eastern and the South Manchuria railways were builL Manchuria had but a sparse population. No wthere are vast farms, production mines. In the last 2(. years. Manchuria's foreig trade has expaded 16 times. One of Japan's disappointments was that Manchuria did not provide a haven for the island's crowded population. Japanese colonies were founded in Manchuria, but the colonists would not remain there. For one thing, the climate was too severe; for another, the Japanese were accustomed to intensive cultivation and could not accustom themselves to tilling broad acres. Failing in their colonization efforts, Japan’s statesmen sought to make Manchuria a grainery and a I source of raw materials. "In this,” the report continued.

tfi ■ I . ■ Across • Friendly Counters B 31 I Ct NO DOUBT you can remember the general storekeeper in some country village. A call on him was jfi an experience in pleasant human relationship, in $ honesty and neighborliness. He discussed politics 3= and crops with vigor and shrewdness. He told the ig truth about groceries and dress goods. His was a S friendly counter, a comfortable place to trade. But the fact is that today in towns and villages J and cities everywhere hundreds of thousands of counters are honest and friendly in away his could de never be. They offer advertised merchandise! A ft manufacturer stands sponsor for this merchandise. S On it he has put his name and brand. So sure is he jp of its usefulness, its purity and correct weight, or size, or strength, or delicacy, that he talks to you S about it on the pages of magazines and newspapers. Jfi From coast to coast you can buy his product with ® confidence. Wherever you find it, and whoever sells Ec it, you have the assurance that its quality will be j S what you expect and that the price you pay is fair, h i; In your home town and wherever-you travel on (business or pleasure, you may trade at friend 1 ? counters! You may buy advertised merchandise! || Decatur Daily Democrat
