Usually we have much to be thankful for and this year, while we may be inclined to grumble, we can if we try, still find a million things for which to return thanks to a wise Father. So much has -beefl said about depression, unemployment and kindred ills, there is danger of neglecting to consider maujs things for which we should be thankful. Bountiful harvests have been reaped, the scourge of disease has passed us by, we have been spared severe floods, drouths and disasters this year, the dojlar is still worth a hundred cents, we can care for our needy so there will be no actual suffering. Surely we have just cause for heartful Thanksgiving tomorrow. At this season it should be our great desire to help those less fortunate, to give not only food but good cheer and encouragement, to assist those unemployed to find -something that will bring back the smile of confidence and to return ; thanks to the Creator who makes I it possible for us to be happy under any circumstances. The state of Michigan has fourteen sugar factories, of which nine are not operating this year. A cam paign is being made now to complete such arrangements that the whetds may be started again for neut year. Several of the factories | aie to be sold and new companies are to take them over while others will run again as they did this year on a lease from the received. All of them will use the 50-50 plan which is proposed here. So important is this matter that Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing papers are assisting in creating interest. It is estimated that the operation i of the nine plants next year will mean the circulation of about twenty million dollars. Securing a jury for a murder trial is no easy task as has again been proven here, where attorneys, both lor the state and defense, have fought every inch of the way in their determination to get jurors of free mind, willing and ready PSORIASIS • » This is a serious skin disease usually of a stubborn nature and causes no end of trouble to folks ■who arr unfortunate enough to contract it. Tlie antiseptic Emerald Oil treatment takes right hold with the first application ami good results continue daily. It powerful antiseptic Emerald Oil doesn't conquer your trouble J. Smith Drug Co.. Cutshall's Cut Rate Drug Co., or any live druggist anywheie will return the purchase price. A Philadelphia man spent thousands of dollars trying to get rid of Psoriasis—Nothing helped until he got Emerald OU —soon he was well —again free from this stubborn disease. Moone's Emerald Oil costs but 85 cents a bottle and it's so wonderfully helpful for other ailments such as Eczema, Acne, Itching, Skin. Old Sores, broken Varicose l Veins. Itching Toes and Athletes l Foot— It's a great home remedy, j

to weigh the evidence fairly and without favor. Thats important for both sides and for the community. The court will hold the jurors together during the trial so there can be no intimation of influence. Much interest is manifested in the case which is one of the most important heard here in many years, years. The dedication of the new postoffice building in this city on Tuesday, December Ist, will be a proper observation of an important j event. There is something about a city having a federal building that makes it at least seem more important and the handsome building just completed is certainly worth the twenty-year effort made to secure it. The program now being completed will be one that will be remembered we are sure and includes general inspection of the modern building by the public. Thomas Taggart, a son of the man who led the forces in this state for a third of a century, was chosen yesterday as national committeeman to succeed the late Charles A. Greathouse. While his popularity was largely because of the admiration for his father, he is now given an opportunity to prove his stuff and if he does so, to continue to lead the army of democracy in the old Hoosier state for many years. William Linn has been named chairman . of the unemployment bureau of the American Legion here and those desiring work are asked to register with him. Efforts to secure employment for as many as possible will be made. Its a splendid effort, deserving of encouragement and success and we hope every one cooperates with Mr. Linn and the Legion in this important effort. Old Santa is on his way. boys and 'girls, and while his dogs are having a tough time climbing the hills through the deep snow, away up north, the latest word is that he will be here right on time and the ! men of Decatur are arranging to help him show you all a great time. Don't miss Santa’s visit here, Saturday, December sth. Democrats are doing a little scrapping among themselves which is a good sign based upon the past. When the democrats are interested enough to argue about appointments and nominations, they always win. Business will cease in Decatur tomorrow, giving every one an opportunity to observe the great occasion—Thanksgiving Day. Special services in the churches, reunions in many homes and a day of genera: happiness should be the result. o ♦, ■ ♦ Modern Etiquette —By— | ROBERTA LEE ♦ — (U.B ♦ Q.
