Christmas shopping is easy for those who 'have received their Christmas savings and remember it will be just the same next year this time. Join one of the bank clubs now opening and be a happy Christmas shopper next year. The annual Christmas tree on the court house corner will be put up by the Woman’s Club, a fine gesture for there is nothing that makes one forget his little difficulties Quicker than the bright lights on a Christmas tree and the spirit rfiat "goes with it. If a resolution offered by Senator Capper of Kansas goes through, a senate committee will Investigate Wall street to see why they are selling America short. Now if the financiers can come right back and investigate the administration for the same cause it' will make interesting reading. Eight more days to shop for Christmas and the Decatur stores make it easy for you. Make up your lists and get busy. The stores '2 are open evenings, you fan read the messages in this paper each '" evening, you will find just what -you want. A, If you are a man. between twenty-one anil fifty years of age and wish a 1932 automobile license. — dig up your poll tax receipts for that’s necessary. Those under and over that age and women are exempt. The sale is now on and the — plates can be secured any time you are ready. ■ George Manns is now working • » for the road superintendent for one . ~ dollar a day, his wages going to his .- — family, by order of Judge Erwin who in doing this is but following — the Indiana law which provides for this. It may work occasional hard- ’ ships but after all it seems better .. than just sending a man to jail and making things that much worse ' for the family. One of t||ese days we ought to go cut and get the necessary acreage so that Col. Gallagher can go ahead ■*- with efforts to finance the big sugar plant here. We just can’t “ afford not to have this mill in operation another season. It means a • guaranteed crop for the farmer. A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now — with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a — new medical discovery with two-fold ac- '* tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed membi anes and inhibits germ growth. •. Os all known drugs, creosote is recogw nized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for perZ-.. ’■stent coughs and colds and other forms ~ of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing ele- • • ments which soothe and heal the infected •- membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the Wood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in ’ the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchia] asthma, • bronchitis and othfr forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.)

We t can’t imagine any one with ’that much money needing to take on 2 any such a boob but there may be' 'J a few silly enough. If they do they 5 deserve whatever comes from such 0 a deal. 5 ii i ' 0 ■ After all we haven't any thing ; much to complain about the fine autumn weather we have been having. Winter doesn t begin officially until next Monday and our guess is we will have plenty to satisfy every one before spring comes in by the calendar. One trouble seems to be that we get so anxious for j the seasons to arrive that we anI ticipate them by several weeks and ■ then complain because it isn't just i what we expected. . i t , The Good Fellow’s Club will " j sponsor a basketball game to be put on at the Catholic high school gymnasium Thursday evening, the receipts to go to the fund which is to provide a Merry Christmas for I the poor boys and girls. The con- . testing teams will be the Cloverleaf boys from here and ton and as each is a fast aggregation you will get your moneys worth while helping along a great cause. Work on the new electric distribution lines here started today and will be pushed right along to completion. Only local labor’is to ibe employed thus providing work for a number of men the next sev- | eral weeks. The city is also using j General Electric material, thus helping out an institution to which ' this city feels kindly because of ■ the local branch. Its a case of I pulling together in every way and lif ever that was necessarv it is now. That the democrats are willing i and anxious to “play ball'' in any | thing intended to correct condiI tions was demonstrated by the announcement that every member of that side of the senate and house I would be permitted to vote as they believed right on the moratorium 11 and on all bills designed to reduce I government expenses. There will be no party whip cracked and esI forts will be honestly made to co- | operate with those republicans who I desire to lift this country out of . I the depression. That's not only gootU politics but good sense and we hope they keep it up. Any way they have manifested excellent intentions and if the republican . members prefer to play politics . they will be held accountable for I all time to come. , o .

STUDENT PLANS ROCKET PLANE TRIP TO MOON Ohio State Sophomore Designing ,Motor For Experiment Columbus, ().. Dec. 16.— (U.R) — Lester D. Woodford. 20-year-old sophomore at Ohio State University. is designing a rocket motor for use in a ship in which he hopes to make a trip to the moon. The lunar expedition is more than a fanstastic dream to Woodford; he believes it passible to travel to the moon aiiU is arming himself with scientific facts before completing his plank. He has sought the advice of several of his professors and a few well known astronomers. “A flight to the moon wqpld be profitable for the metals you could bring back, aside from the scientific possibilities and the more sensational aspects of having been the first man to make an interstellar flight,” Woodford said. Seven Miles a Second The youth plans to perfect his rocket motor first. He believes he | can attain a speed of seven miles I a second with the motor. The ship planned would be painted half black and ha)f silver, the black side to absorb the heat and the silver side to reflect it. By turning the ship. Woodford expects to maintain a suitable temperature. “There is no friction in the stratosphere, so the idea the ship would burn from friction is incorrect,” he said. Fisher Gets Warrant For Catch Jefferson City.— <U.R) — Porter Coonce caught a 64-pound catfish, but someone stole it. Ineehised. he! asked Justice of the Peace Leslie! for a search warrant.

Dec. 16.—(U.R) —The ‘ annual budget of the United States government is a book about the size of a New York City telephone directory. It contains 1,000 closely printed pages, formidable withjabies, figures, estimates and statements of expense. In those tables, however, are contained much gossip. For iustaace, that book tells what Mrs. Hoover pays her cook. She pays the chief cook $1,920 a year and his three assistants sl,32;). $1,200 and SI,OBO. The Hoover butlers —there are two of them — get $1,440 and $1,200 respectively. Mr. Hoover pays his valet SI,BOO a year. Incidentally, the valet, Boris, has been with him since the days I of the Polish relief administration | immediately after the war. It also reveals that people have a habit of sending things to Mr.' Hoover with charges collect. An' item of S6O a year is in the budget I to pay for collect telegrams and I postage due letters. It’s under the 1 strange heading of "transportation of things. $60." It will cost the American people $429,380 to maintain thfe President and his establishment during the next fiscal year. Add to that Mr. I Hoover's salary of $75,000 a year; and that of Vice-President Curtis ■ of $15,000 annually, and the whole bill for maintaining the chief execu-< five and his second in command is I $515,380 a year—more than a half I a million dollars. But the c<At is going down. Mr. Hoover has quietly applied economy to his own official budget. For the last fiscal year $472,380 was appropriated to maintain the executive establishment in all its branches. Mr. Hoover saved $38,000 of , that and this year he is planning Ito save $5,Q00 more. : 'The $38,000 saving was made largely by the President foregoing, the installation of improvements. lin the ventilating system which I 'would have added considerably to I his own comfort. The additional $5,000 saving this year is contempi lated in the equipment fund—Mr. j Hoover will make the old desks land typewriters last another year. I The only item in the President's own budget which is increased is for repairs in the White House. It was $10,809 last year. A thousand | dollars is kidded this year. It takes 37 people to operate Mr. i Hoover s office. Thete are three (secretaries at SIO,OOO a year apiece; !an executive officer at $7,000 a ■year; a chief administrative officer lat $5,600; two senior administrative officers at $4,000; an adtninisItrative officer at $3,330; an adj ministrative assistant at $3,100; a I junior administrative assistant at . $2,817; and so on down to a laborjer at $1,170. The salary roll jamounts to $126,180 a year; there I are contingent expenses of $43,500; 'printing costs s2,7ookind travel and entertainment, $25,000, the President's personal fund. Over in the mansion where the Hoovers live, and In the grounds. 160 more people are employed, perm-

anently and extra help is engaged on occasion costing $14,800 a year. A "manager” at $3,000 and an assistant director ot gardens at $2,600 are the highest paid. There. are five mechanics, a chief cook |
