WANTED-SELF-STARTERS: In the early days of the automobile, one of the troublesome features of its operation was getting it started. Some one had to get out and crank the engine. However well-built, however powerful and speedy when under way, the

engine had to be cranked by the awkward application of outside power. That inconvenient and inefficient method has now been discarded. The modern driver simply presses a peg or button and the engine starts itself; the car is ready to go. Too many men are like those old-fashioned vehicles, now obsolete. They may be splendidly built physically, have energy and endurance, possess a fine mentality, and be honest and dependable; but they lack initiative. They,await suggestions and directions from others as to what they should do and how they should do it. They are not self-starters. Such men fill an important and essential place in the scheme of things, of course. They do the many jobs that must be done, when in tire manner they are told to do them. But they do not rise above the dead level of the commonplace They do not become leaders. They are simply followers; and there is aways an abundant supply of them. But there is always a need for men who can do their own thinking, who blaze new paths, who can and do voluntarily assume responsibility and take charge in dealing with problems that must be solved. The world needs more leaders. — Elks Magazine. The able attorneys defending Joseph Everett will continue their efforts in his behalf, moving for an arrest of judgment, a new trial and if not successful in either of those will appeal to the supreme court. The cause was one of the most keenly fought legal battles in the history of the county, contested every inch by the able lawyers on each side and any efforts to conclude this important trial will be ot great interest to all.

couple of weeks and have not had a chance to remind our loyal democratic friends that the campaign for this money is still on and ought to be met. Won't you help us raise the small amount still due from this Jeffersonian community? Andrew Mellon, greatest treas- > urer “since the days of Alexander 1 Hamilton.” is borrowing another , billion to keep the old machine oil--1 ed and gassed. Expect some of the , : boys in Washington have some real 1 headaches these days as they are I forced to take these steps just I when they would like to be thinking about putting over some fast ones towards the campaign for next year. Ed Ashbaucher has been removed to his home and is somewhat improved after a very serious illties? of several weeks. Hundreds of friends are hoping and praying for his complete recovery. As county treasurer the past four years, Mr. Ashbaucher has made as fine a record as can be done, one hundred per cent perfect and has at the same time been courteous and kind to every one.

The seventy-second congress convened yesterday and organized by electing John N. Garner of Texas to be speaker of the house. Now the message and then some stalling around until after the Christmas vacation and then some more arguments. No wonder that French lady is predicting some political changes in this country next year. We don't usually expect original ideas from far off Turkey but they | have sprung one that every nation lis thinking of. Over there only i married men of families can drive automobiles. That takes a lot of j the wild headed folks off the road j and probably solves the problem of week-end casualties which have become so serious here. Don’t overlook the Good Fellow's campaign. They want to raise a few hundred dollars with which to hand out Christmas cheer to the poor boys and girls and want you ito help them. The young ladies ALmselwes have increased their donations by nearly fifty per cent and we ought to keep up with them. The electric light committee of l the Decatur city plant acted wisely in letting the contract for the new power line in the down town district by providing for the most hand labor and providing that it must be local. That's the best way we know of to help the community. Local stores have many wonderfu bargains and there is no reason tor you going any where else or for not buying this year. Your dollars will go farther here than elsewhere and much farther than for a long time. Look over the adverlizoments.

.Advertising Aids Business RecoveryIn Many U. S. Cities Survey Shows NEW YORK. Dec. 8. —The board of directors of the Advertising Federation of America announced today that a national survey it has conducted indicates the 1932 advertising dollar will bring better result:- than at any time during thd past two years. Gilbert T. Hodges, president of the organization, said the survey shows a growing confidence in 1932 merchandise possil ilities. His report adds that grjdtly improved credit conditions: and the beginning of commodity price recovery are reflected in an “improved general morale." “Checktip of 102 large com putties showed that those firms which increased their advertising in 1930 over 1929 mad 1 a 58 per cent better profit comparison than those which decreased it,” the report states. "Those same firms Increased their lead still further in 1931." President Hodges pointed out that a recent analysis of seventy large cities found that appreciable business recovery has been under way for some mouths in the cities where newspaper advertising has been the heaviest.

It was understood that he had gone to Sinaia for a family conference at which it was hoped to effect a reconciliation between Nicholas and the king. The romantic adventures of Nicholas were the latest in the Roumanian family which began when Carol, then crown prince, married Madame Zizi Lambrino against the wishes of his family, which had arranged a marriage with his present divorced wife. Princess of Greece. Carol's marriage to Madame Lambrino, also a commoner, was annuled in order that he might wed the princess in a state ceremony. He later left Roumania to live with Madame Lupescu, and Helene divorced him. Nicholas was understood to hive met Mlle. Deletj when he passed her in her motorcar, which had broken down, outside Bucharest. Their romance progressed rapidly but Carol objected to his brother's attentions to a commoner. Nicholas outwitted his brother and eloped to a small Roumanian town, where the mayor was summoned hurriedly to perform the ceremony. Carol brought all personal pressure to bear upon Nicholas, but of no avail. The king then turned to legal means, and was so sure of the result of the court's decision that he left Bucharest on a hunting trip to be away from the capital when the case was called.

POCKETBOOK LEGISLATION FIRST BUSINESS BEFORE CONGRESS AS IT CONVENES

Ratification oi Hoover’s One Year War Debt Moratorium Plan Due For Speedy Action By Both Houses

By THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 7.—<U.R)— Legislation affecting the pocketbook of the American and the European—-tax revision and the Hoover one-year debt moratorium — is the first [business of the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives which formally began a heavy winter of work today. President Hoover is asking speedy ratification of the promise he already has made to European nations to suspend debt payments for a year, and the administration and

congressional leaders likewise are desirous of prompt action in the unsavory, but necessary increase of taxes, so as not to disturb depressed business unduly. Originate in House Both these measures must originate in the House, being financial in character. They also will be ■ linked in the storm of debate which will swirl around tHerET. for opponents of debt reduction argue that the American taxpayer in the end. must pay whatever part of foreign obligations the United States forgives. About $250,000,000 flows into the treasury yearly in the form of foreign debt payments. President Hoover's immediate proposal is only the one-year suspension of payments, but congressional leaders expect to receive j suggestions later for a general I scaling down of all World War I debts as the result of recent nego-, tiations with foreign governments. ( Bitter debate reminiscent of the j League of Nations controversy in I the senate is expected to resound 1 through tils' House when the moratorium proposal is presented for ratification. Spirited Debates on Taxes The form of tax increases also will be the subject of acrimonious and spirited debate. Democratic House leaders withheld formulation of their program because of the uncertainty as to whether they would control the House and thus be responsible for drafting the legislation. Before the House can begin to depate upon a tax bill, however, the measure must be whipped into shape by the Ways and Means committee. Every effort will be exerted there to draft a satisfactory bill as quickly as possible. House members were reminded at the outset, in the prospects of

Lest you be lured unto your doom Like those at Quiet Dell.” These stage effects seem to please Powers who showed not the slightest fear or worry during the first day’s proceedings. He sat with his back to the crowd in Moore's opera house, his bushy hair neatly cut for his day in court, and his short legs just short of touching the floor. When the state introduced the relics of the crimes in which he is accused, such ,as the green flowered dress in which Mrs. Lemke was wrapped in her shallow grave, he craned his neck to see just as did others in the crowd of 1200 present. The state has laid the foundation for its case. It has introduced testimony to show that Dorothy Lemke’s body was found, garrotted. in the grave at the Powers garage. It has given in evidence the clothes she wore when she left her home in Northboro. Mass, to “make her home in the west,” with Cornelius O. Pierson — the alibi under which Powers ran his matrimonial campaign. The state has shown that clothing belonging to Mrs. Lemke was found in the Powers home after her body was dug from the grave yards. It has also shown that death was due to "a broken neck” caused by “excessive force.” Later, possibly today, it will introduce evidence to show that Powers had constructed a trap door and an amateur gallows on which he did to death the woman who came to Clarksburg in response to his blandishments. The general expectation is that the case will be concluded within a week. The state will offer only “official witnesses concerned with the discovery of the bodies. Powers will offer two hypothetical witnesses — never yet discovered by the police—who, he claims, did away with the women.
