No money you ever gave to any | campaign is more important than | the few dollars you give to the I' United Charity fund. That's real ' I \ missionary work right at home. _________ J1 The progressive merchants of i 1 Decatur are offering you special

bargains right in the midst of your ,' autumn buying season. Don't over-:' look the two big trade days—Fri- j day and Saturday, this week. Twin Dollar Days Friday and P Saturday. Read today's paper and;' tomorrow's and Fridays. All of them will contain attractive an- 1 nouncements whereby you learn where you can get just what you want. The Victory Fund is growing in this county and we will appreciate tin- contribution from any one who desires to assist in this good cause. Politics may not find favor with i you but after all its the onlv wav ' 1 I. to keep the government going in the good old U. S. A. ' There is a better tone in business 1 these days and indications of a * firmness that is encouraging. Sure-1< I; we have hit bottom and can at least soon begin to breath freely on that score. If we have then its only a fight back to shore and >•.. ■■ s nt.>!-• • fnn than drift- ■ i ing with the tide as has been the rule the past two years. The county council of Adams county doesn't fool in this holding down expenses during the depression. Asked for $7,107 they "cut” right and left, the total alloted being less than SI,OOO. There can be little criticism for public officials • who guard the treasury, even though it some times causes disappointments. ' =■ While a grand jury has been called as the law provides, it will only be held in readiness in case there is -a necessity for them. Ordinarily there is little law violation here and Judge Erwin believes there is j nothing to be gained in having an i investigation each term of court. The September jury completed several weeks work recently. In case Sore Throat Is Dangerous Don't take chances with sore I throat! Slow-acting gargles and salves are uncertain and unreli- j able! Take Thoxiiie, a prescription made exclusively for throat troubles. The very first swallow will relieve the soreness within 15 minutes and its internal action removes the cause which might develop into something serious. Most coughs especially night ! coughs, are caused by throat irri-J tat ion. Thoxlne will stop this type j of cough almost instant’y. Safe—l children like it. Remember Thox iue will relieve su~ throat or throat coughs in 15 minutes or your money will be refunded. 35c. 60c. SI.OO bottle's. • Sold by Holthouse Drug Co., and all other good drug stores.

any thing unusual should arise the grand jurymen will be called to I service. Help one another is an old saying hut still good and if there was ever a time when the Golden Rule I ought to be followed it is now. I Your opportunity comes today and 1 tomorrow in subscribing to the I United Charity fund to be used to , aid the needy in the cold winter days just ahead. That's genuine I Christianity it seems to us. Help as much as you can-. Two young men, sophomores in the Wren high school, have confessed that they stole an automobile here and drove to Cincinnati in hopes of securing places in a radio broadcasting station. The boys, for they claim to be but sixteen years old. had a wild dream and one that could not result in any thing but failure. Arraigned before Judge Erwin, who talked kindly but firmly, to them, they begged for the “easiest way out." There is no easy paths out and the sooner boys and young men realize that, the better they are going to be off. We hope these lads learn the error of their wavg and make up their minds to go down the straight and narrow path in the future. Do you remember thirteen years ago today? Os course you do if you are old enough for every man. woman and child in America quit his activities to celebrate. It was the end of the World War which had shaken the universe for seven

years, growing as it went on. until I almost every nation in the worm was embroiled. Our own boys were "over there ' and each day was bringing casualties. It had been a terirble year, filled with anxieties and with labors and with grief. Then came the glad news that it was over and every one with ' one accord let go in celebration. This is Armistice Day, now a national holiday, observed throughout the land with programs designed! to keep in mind that occasion and that what we fought for or thought we were fighting for was to end war forever. Tonight the Legion will observe the occasion with a program of interest at the Knights of Columbus hall, at which time a renewed pledge of loyalty to the government, in peace time as well : as war time, will be made. ♦ • ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS I Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two ♦ « 1.

Chicago Judge Too Young For Re-Election Chicago, Nov. 11.— (U.R) —Chicago's youngest judge is so young he won't lie old enough to qualify he re-election when his present term expires.

Judge Casey will lack 41 days of the legal age.
