Jt took the totted Wildcat champions down a notch or two. The Twin Dollar Days attracted many shoppers aud local merchants report a fine business. Shoppers were pleased with the bargains offered and the two days served to stimulate buying in many lines. j — The' basketball season got under way last week, several of the schools playing their first game. The reason promises to be interesting and the sport columns of the Daily Democrat will be followed daily by the hundreds who love this school sport. A week from Thursday is Thanks- 1 giving, a day of family reunions ■ find calling to mind the many blessings bestowed on us.

H. Caraway of Ar“kansas, will take a seat in the upper house. She will serve at least until the special election on January 12 and plans are being made to nominate her. nomination being equivalent to election in the southern state. It will be an experience for Mrs. Caraway and aside from the one-day service of the Jady .from Georgia, she will be the first woman to serve in the senate. There has been a lot of comment on the naval program and the fact that the department's budget has cut some 50 million dollars. Appropriations for the army will also be reduced. The appropriations for these two departments in peace | time total more than seven hund-' led million dollars and it seems . that the country can be ably protected through the expenditure of such a huge sum. With the pros■pect for increased federal taxes next year, cuts have to be made some place.

Men and women solicited the residence districts Sunday for members in the Red Cross. A fair enrollment was secured, all of the workers not completing their job. Many persons were not at home and those who wish to join may t send their dollar to Miss Anna i Winnes, secretary of the local 2 I chapter. The plan of giving twenty- ) I : I five cents of every dollar to local ) i ; charity is worthy of the support of ? I those who are able to join and ► 1 should be supported by their join-1 *, ing the organization. More than five thousand acres j for growing sugar beets have been I pledged by farmers in the Decatur | territory. Last week the former | fieldmen for the Holland-St. Louis ! Sugar Company made a canvass of I farmers interested in growing beets and secured more than two I thousand acres. With a little effort ■ it looks as if the 12,000 acres could be secured and the proposition of opening the sugar factory next year could be taken up with the owners. It's worth working for. The operation of the plant means much to the farmer and to the several hundred men who would bb employed during the campaign. | We are interested in the story of : Miss Mary Ida Kane, of Peekskill, j N. Y., now in jail under sentence for attempted assault. If we had our way. we should take her out of the Peekskill hoosegow. set her up as a protector of the people's welfare. and cite her for the Carnegie of the Congressional medal or even the Nobel prize. For Miss Kane has had the rare courage to reply to a young man who called for her by buzzing his automobile horn I with two or three shots from her i father’s rifle. She didn't kill him. i which in itself shows symptoms of herculean self-control. She didn't | even wound him, which demonstates to us. at least, a temper I nothing short of angelic. Our readers will have noted that she was | < harged only with "attempted asIsault’’; all she did was send a few ■ through the young man's , head lights and radiator cap.—NewHaven Journal-Courier. o Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE ♦— — <u.R) 4 Resizing a Rug A rug can be i esized by the following procedure. Stretch the rug tightly, fa'e down on a floor, and tack at several places. Sprinkle it with a solution made by soaking and dissolving 1-4 pound of flake glue in 1-2 gallon water, and in a container that is surrounded by hot water. Allow the rug to dry not less than 21 hours. If the rug is very thin, be careful not to use enough solution to penetrate to the other side. Croup to cause vomiting in a case of croup dissolve a pinch of mustard in half a cup of tepid water. Also , apply hot flannels wrung out of lu>t water to the throat of the child.

BIG HOWITZERS DASH OVER ROAD AT HIGH SPEED' Army Develops News Transportation For 8-ineh Guns Washington, —(UP) —A picture of giant motorized howitzers — some o.' 8 itch caliber —dashing over highways at 45 miles per hour was painted today in the annual report of Maj. Gen Samuel Hoff, chief of Army Ordinance. Guns of such weight have in past wars had to be moved slowly by mules or crawling tractors. Now apparently, it will be possible to t ansport them between fronts 200 miles apart in five hours. The first of these large mobile guns, Hoff reported was completed last year at Rock Island arsenal. It is now at Aberdeen (Md) Proving Ground, undergoing tests. "Preliminary firing tests” Hoff said, indicate that it is satsfactory as a tring unit. In road tests it has been transported at 45 miles per hour, this being made possible by the use of pneumatic tires and spring supports provided in the carI riage and limber.” Development of a semi-automatic I shoulder lisle to increase the firing power of infantry is being carried out by the Ordinance Department, : I lof: sad. Three types of .276 cali- , her rifles — the Garand. Pederson ■ and White guns—are now being j tested. Dur.ng the last year the army i increased its artillery by 15 75mm I pack howitzers. 15 3-inch anti-air-craft guns. 11 37mm guns, 12 75mm inortors and 4 105 mm. howitzers. MONROE NEWS Mr. J. F.

"White concrete roads are tiring in the daytime to motorists, because of the eye strain,” said Dean Albert Fitch of Pennsylvania State College of Optometry in a speech here. "Daj;k roads are also hard on the eyes at night, because it is difficult to make out the roadway easily.
