Eddie Cantor thinks a delicti-; hound is a great dane hit by the! del ‘ession. Alright Eddie, now j whars an Austin? Many are starting Christmas • clubs just now, the best way to .save and thrift that is helpful not!; only to you but to the community. ; Only eight more days for Christ- , irtas shopping so don't put it off . any longer. Watch this paper this •iveek for helpful suggestions from Jhe merchants. 1 Now it is claimed the Ladies Aid! •stunt at Bluffton' turned out al- 1 Wight but it sounds like a most t peculiar way to do business and a little investigation won't be a bad ' thing. ! The Army finished off the Navy in a charity game of football Sat-! urday, closing a brilliant season. ' From the noise over the’ radio it was a" wild crowd of enthusiasts ' well repaid for their attendance, j 1 _________ ' < Tills is the week to subscribe 1 your share towards the Good Fel- 1 lows club. This money will he used * to make Christmas a happy occasion for a lot of poor folks that may otherwise not enjoy it so much. Lets, get that beet acreage and do every thing we can to get the ‘ sugar factory going for next year. ' That would be something really JKUrth doing. The way to lick old ' ipan depression is to do it and this is oneJiig step towards that.

I Snakes and angle worms, dandei lions and violets, trees budding out and April weather in December j certainly makes the year complete j for being wrong but there is always something to smile about —think of the fuel supply as compared to the average year. It would have saved some expeuse and trouble if those who shot three of tlie Leavenworth lifers afiter they had kidnapped the warden and shot his arm off had stood the j other three up and finished them I off its a poor time for technicalI i ities. | You only have about ten days of ' shopping opportunity before Christmas and this job ought to be done immediately. Decatur stores can j supply you with the finest goods |at the lowest prices. Start in MonI day and keep at it until you have [filled jour list. There is one investment you can ' make without fear of loss and that ! iis the purchase of Adams county | [ real estate. At present prices it : will make you more mouev than 1 any thing else we know of and it j is sure as well as safe. Those who | can finance deals now are the for- 1 tunate ones who will show hand- ! some profits. A train of cars, one combination i dining and sleeping car and eleven ' fiats and three freights can be j bought for a song at Centerville, j Indjpna, having been ordered sold \ to satisfy a judgment of S3OO, but I what in the dickens will you, do with them after you get them. They ! belonged to a circus that stranded ] last summer. —_________ We just wonder whether a scrap j between President Hoover and con-; gross will restore economic stabil-■ ity. We are fearful it is going to \ have the opposite effect, a greater j collapse. Os course these are not i pleasant things to talk or write hut I its too serious to just close our j eyes and say “every thing will come ' cut alright." The administration program es- ■ poused hy President Hoover ami ! Secretary Mellon is going to have a tough struggle if early indications count. The senate and the coun- j try is about ninety per cent against j cancellation of foreign debts. The best thing this country can do is ' to start pulling out of the mire of depression and let other countries do the same. The railroads are going to try Ito help themselves. Now that sounds reasonable. They will come lout of their difficulties much sooner by that method than by sitting | around waiting for the government! • r Santa Claus to help them. They , will organize a (red it association \on the plan now being used hy the | government and will probably be ’.veil supported for they have the [ I good wishes of every one. o ♦ J Modern Etiquette -by- ' | .
