National Advertising Representative SCHERRER, Inc. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago •15 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The rndiana League of Home Dailies Another old friend, William Baumgartner of Berne, has finished his earthly duties, death having , come suddenly yesterday. He was an excellent citizen, serving for many years faithfully as a member of the county council and serving his community when ever he could. After all its results that count and the fact that the tax bill in Adams county will be $150,000 less next year than it was this show's that some real and definite actions were taken by those in charge of the important duty of budget and rate making. Republican newspapers seem greatly worried over the responsi-I bilities that will be assumed by the democrats in organizing congress, i hut those who will land the fat jobs thus made vacant will not feel it I such an impossible task. The majority of people do not feel it will be any worse mess than that of the past ten years and there is always a chance for improvement. The sugar beet meeting at Monroe brought in several hundred more acres in pledges, indicating that interest is mighty keen everywhere on this movement. One man wrote 218 acres yesterday and' ethers report similar successes. We are hoping that the campaign will be over in another week and that those in charge of arranging finances can report soon that every thing is in readiness. Its a very important work for this community. Number one, volumne three of Inklings, snappy newspaper published monthly by the students of Decatur Catholic High School is off the press ■ this week. Patricia Holthouse is editor-in-chief with Dolores Klepper as assistant. Carl Lose manager and a corps of editors and reporters. Charles Omlor has charge of the business office ot the paper with a half dozen assistants and advisors. The paper is filled with news items, well written ami of particular interest to students and their friends. We want you to advertise. Os course part of that desire is selfish for its our bread and butter but the big thought is that £, newspaper is the mouthpiece for the community and radiates to the world whether a town is alive or dead and we want this to Ins a lively place where

Mrs. Carrie Simmons, charged > with the murder of her ten-y6ar-old • daughter, Alice Jean, has gone • home, following the disagreement i of a jury which is reported to have ’ stood eight to four for acquittal. I Whether she will be tried for the murder of the other daughter. Virginia, 14. who died as a result of eating the poison sandwiches at a picnic last summer, is not known but the court declined to release her on SIO,OOO bond. Guilty or not Mrs. Simmons will suffer terribly as a result of this ordeal and eventually “murder will out’’ and the truth will be known. By a vote of 276 to 161 the voters of Berne in the recent election decided not to levy a tax for the maintainence of a city band. For several years that town has had one of the best musical organizations in the state and once each week the band was the main attraction to thousands who came from a radius of fifteen miles to listen and to patronize the stores of the town. Most communities seem to expect a band to live and prosper without financing but that's | scarcely within the bounds of possibility. Like every one else the musician must have something with which to keep up steam and I there is no fairer way than by rais- ! ing the money through the regular j method of taxation. This year, however, was not a very good one I for special taxes. ~ The mos t hazardous age for automobile drivers, according to an analysis just conducted by an insurance company, is youth — the period before twenty. A study of the records of 4.000,006 licensed drivers shows that the percentage of drivers under twenty who are involved in personal injury accidents is nearly forty percent above the average for the whole group. In fact, survey indicates that the automobile driver does not really reach an "age of discretion" until he is thirty. The older the driver, according to these figures, the more careful he is; the safety factor rises steadily through the various age groups, without interruption. All of this indicates that licensing lioards might do well to consider the age question more carefully than they do now. The old suspicion that a chap in his 'teens is out of place back of a steering wheels seems to be rather well established. o* CARD OF THANKS We wish in this manner to ex- [ press our sincere thanks and appreciation to the neighbors and friends, those who sent floral offerings, and all those who so kindly assisted us during the Illness and death of' our son and brother, Arthur.

As a Typical American you probably are “from Missouri’’ when it comes to this mystery business! One feature act of “THE FOX" who. with his company of entertainers. is coining to The ADAMS THEATRE Wednesday and Thursday. Nov. 11 * 12—is hard to believe even when seen! “The FOX," man of mystery, allows himself to be shackled in a regulation straight-jacket. Then he is placed in a regulation coffin, borrowed from Zwick & Son Undertaking Parlors. The lid is locked and three straps are placed about the coffin. To make it “absolutely impossible" for this man of mystery to get out, another cover and additional straps are placed about him. Guards from the audience make certain that no outsiders assist "The Fox" and yet in a few moments he is free! An evening of music, comedy, mysterious escapes, hypnotism, mental telepathy and superhuman ] power is promised those who see | "The Fox!” Advt.

OWNYOUROWN HOME DRIVE SET FOR DECEMBER 1 National Board Reveals Re-adjustment of Family Budget Secret — Chicago, — (UP> — Real estate I men have been investigating the ! larders of American families, exaJ mining their laundry bills and checking on the number of times ■ the children attend the movies, in i an effort to determine whether the.e are more funds for home owning than are now being diverted into'that field. Results of the investigation reveal that many more families could buy, or build homes, if they recoghized budgets, the National Association of Real Estate Boards announced together with the naming of Dec. 1 as National Home Savings Day. On this day people throughout the country will be urged from a new angle to become their own landlords. The new approach is the plan the association has worked out under Which low salaried families can save for home buying or building wthout changing their present livI ing standards. I Members of the real estate asso- | ciation in 600 cities, banks and othI er agencies will use the study on family spending habits to show pros pects how to assemble the money for ther own domiciles. ( Definite suggestions, directed chiefly to women, and backed by figures that have nothing to do with real estate, but go into the family expenditures for essentials, will he distributed the morning of Dec. 1 ' in hundreds of communities and cities. -— o Modern Etiquette —by— ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.PJ ♦ : Q.
