They tell us again we age at the end of Indian summer. We were afraid it couldn't last all winter. Well, we have battled the wind and snow' some several winters and suppose we can do it again if we have to. It is reported that fifty thousand people have died from drinking bad liquor the past year which is about as silly away to die as could be thought of. However it seems there are some just determined to do it. Its time to do your winter shopping and we call your attention to the fact that Decatur stores are the best places you can find. They are filled with fine goods and they are guaranteed at the lowest possible prices. Try them and see how well you are satisfied. The Good Fellows club is going to get into action again this year which means a Merry Christmas for a lot of youngsters who otherwise would find it just another tough old day. We are sure the effort of the young ladies will be supported liberally as it always has. They tell us that its fifteen lielow zero over in northern Manchuria where the Japs and Chinks are fighting. That ought to make it fine for fours right and about face and all that stuff that goes with the boys in uniforms but its probably tough on the soldiers who run out of blankets. Senator Hiram Johnson, who twenty years ago was the running mate for Teddy Roosevelt and who has never quit claiming that the progressives were right, now says that Mr. Hoover would do an undying favor to the rank and file o' the republican party it he would join Mr. Coolidge in choosing not to run. My what a game polities Is.

jjr J r AWAwri' Drinker of Hashish! In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice ©f secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashash in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assassin!

| Judge Erwin acted wisely by I ordering that the cash taken from [the four slot machines which had been taken in a recent raid, be turned over to the United Charities fund to be used in caring for the ’ i needy during the winter. Certainly 1| no better use could be made of the ‘ money thus obtained and which 2I under the law cannot be turned J | back to the owners or operators of >' the machines. >1 I | It is important for the demo- ) crats of Indiana that they be represented on the national committee i by a man of experience, character I and ability and all of those quali- I (Rations we claim for Mr. Ellingham. It seems to us a grave mistake to do otherwise than choose him to this honorary position which he has earned by forty years of real service. n Mr. Harlacher says that if any one thinks the beet acreage cannot be secured here they haven't tried it. He wrote 457 contract acres in three days in this immediate territory this week and did it without charge to any one. A little of that kind of service will win and his work deserves commendation. Hope a lot of fellows get the same hunch to go out and come in with as good results. Avon and Sim Burk gave a party | last evening for their father, | George T. Burk, observing his I seventy-fifth birthday and it was i a happy event, enjoyed immensely iby all who were present and es- ’ pecially by the guest of honor who was three-quarters of a century young and looked and felt it. Mr. . Burk is one of the excellent citii zens of this community and has during a long and successful busi iness career made a record worth I while, pleasured partly by the large circle of friends he enjoys and all of whom join us in congratulations and wishes for many returns of the occasion. Notions of what is liberal in . governmental affairs differ. If you fake the Traffic in intoxicating liquor as a standard, the states be- ; low the Canadian border are ex- ! ceedingly strict and the province jof Ontario is very liberal. But a i magazine recently reported that Ontario has barred Greta Garbo's latest film, “Susan Lenox," as immoral; and that fact puts another aspect on the comparison. Few, if : any, American states have turned I thumbs down on the picture — al- ! though some of the state censorship Iwards, in the past, have certainly seemed to be strict enough i for anyone. Ontario, however, takes the opposite view. Below the Ixirder, possibly, it is believed that 1 a man is more easily ruined by what he drinks than by what he 1 tees. North of the border the re- ' , verse is true. It that the answer? 1 —Hartford City News. i | Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE • (U.R) ♦ Worn Blankets Worn blankets can be used if two ' of them are put together, covered I with any material that is desirable i and tacked with worsted io make ! a comforter.

the role created by Thomas Meighan. His physicians are advising a long rest from film work and the studio may not be able to hold U P the picture. Perhaps now they will persuade George Bancroft to play the confidence man. He was the original choice. Sylvia Sidney is to have the Betty Compson part and Irving I ichel follows bon Chaney.

RAIN AND SNOW FARM THREAT Las Vegas. Nev., Nov. —(U.R) —Heavy snows, or rains, this win- . ter in the mountain regions, long the prayer of drought stricken farmers, might result in death to hundreds and the destruction of millions of dollars worth in property in Nevada and California. B. E. Stoutenmyer, district counsel i for the Bureau of Reclamation, ’ writes. He points out that if Boulder ; Dam is not constructed by the time | the next great Colorado River flood comes. Imperial Valley may be wiped off the map. The dam reservoir will have a capacity of 30,000,000 acre feet, being larger than the combined capacity of all the other reservoirs 11 constructed by the reclamation bureau since its beginning in 1902. The river carries 200,000 second feet of water at its flood and only 1.200 second feet at its low stage. In case Imperial Valley should be flooded, the water would have to evaporate away. This would probably mean that for several years, what is now Imperial Valley, would be a lake. Imperial Valley is below sea level. oOBITUARY James Crozier one of six children born to Joseph and Christina Croi zier was born September 2. 1843 and passed to his enternal reward at the home of his son Rollie Crozier, November 19, 1931, aged 83 years, 2 months, and 8 days. He grew to manhood in Adams County. Indiana, in which place he resided when the death angel came. In 1870 he was united in marriage with Louisia May. To this union were born eight children. This marriage was severed by the death of his wife on November 9. 1899. He was again united - in marriage to Ida Hawk November 25. 1900. They made their home in Union Township, later moving to Decatur Indiana where they re- ’ sided until the home was broken by the death of his wife Ida. He then • returned to Union Township to make his home with his children. His health has been failing for the past year however he was not confined to his bed until the last few weeks of his life. Besides both his wives four children have preceded him in death; Mary armindi, Charles. Perry, and Cora A. Johnson. Those left to mourn their loss i are four children; Emma R. Baxter. and Rollie J. Crozier both f I nion Township. William I. Crozier Decatur, Indiana, and Dessie 8. Johnson, east of Decatur. step children; Mrs. J. S. Watkins, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Mrs. Fremont Bowers, Union township, and’ j Mrs. Jesse Case, Decatur, Indiana. Ten grandchildren, ten great grandchildren. numerous other relatives, and a host of friends. Brother Crozier was converted and accepted Jesus Christ as his pe.sonal Savior while very young. He was a member of the United j Brethren Church to which he was | faithful until death. His life was exemplary of the Christian life, saturated with love, kindness, and good will to all. He was a kind Father, ‘ good neighbor, and a faithful friend, loved most by those who knew him best. He was an inspiration to all who came in contact with him, as his faith in God never wavered, and the subject of Church and Salvation was his common conversation. His last words to his pastor were. “My stay on earth is short, but I am ready to go, I am only waiting for the laird to call me heme". The Church has lost a loya'l wo.ker and we a faithful friend, but our loss is his Eternal gain, for he ' has gone to receive bis reward lor | a life of faithful service to God and | his church. May God in his kindness I comfort the children and grand j children who mourn his departure, and may some sweet day find them all reunited in that land where there is no parting. Funeral services were held at the Clark's Chapel M. E. Church i >n Thursday Novemtyi 12 at 2:00 M. in charge of his pastor. Rev. W. O. Johnson, who preached from Isaiah 3:10. The'body was laid at rest in the Cemetery adjoining the church to await the morning of tho Resurrection. Our Father Father, well miss you, our aching hearts nought of our grief can I tell; let we rejoice you are free from pain, knowing that all is well. We know your spirit, in sweet content has flown to your risen lord And with the loved ones gone before sing with a sweet accord. Father, some day, by the great white Throne near to our Lord, We'll meet, And a' glad song of thanksgiving sing as we each other meet. We should not mourn, you have only gone a step before the res;, Though our hearts ache, to God's will we bow, for He knows what is 1 best. * Notice | No trespassing or hunting will be , allowed on the Krick Tyndall proI perties. 271-6 t | NOTICE—No hunting on the farms , of John H.

SWIFT TARGETS EASY FOR ARMY V»ashington, Nov. f'. — (U.R) —Sol precise are the new army methods 1 of artillery fire control that officers j expect soon to hit targets moving at 45 miles per hour, which are in-1 visible to the gunners. Maj. Gen. H. G. Bishop, in bis annual report to Secretary of War Hurley, said: “A method of attacking such speedy targets when invisible from the gun positions has been devised i and will shortly be promulgated to the service.” Bishop's report summarized the advances of the last year in using radio communication to direct the fire of batteries, in developing efficient mounts of anti-aircraft guns and in standardizing army vehicles so that an adequate supply may be had quickly, in the event of war, from commercial | ’ manufacturers. "If the situation requires it," he said, “I want to be able to fill all, motor requirements in the Field Artillery from vehicles which may l “ found on the streets of any |
