Yesterday was the best day so far for the Good Fellows Club and a few like that would help a lot. There seems to be one sure thing and that is that values won’t drop as much in 1932 as they did in 1931 for the very good reason, they can’t. Just another week in which to shop and a lot of folks are still | putting it off. They will wake up I now soon and then join in a big final rush,-to get ready for Christmas. Read the advertisements in tonight’s Daily Democrat and all the rest of them between now and the big day. make up your lists and I patronize the local merchants. They carry fine stocks, guarantee ] their goods and keep the money at home. ’ For some reason or other the | moritorium doesn't seem to be near ar popular now as it was when it I was executed by the administration. Os course the novelty lias worn! off and then it hasn't just exactly , brought aoout all the wonderful things expected from it. The Good Fellow's club fund is not growing as rapidly as its boosters would like to have it and they are hoping every one will chtch the spirit soon and place their bit in one of the boxes. Attend the basketball game tonight and help out that much. .b in a Christmas, club. Both Decatur banks are now taking memberships and their announcements tell you how to do it and how you get your money back with interest about December Ist next, just when you will need some cash for your holiday trading. Its a fine plan and deserving of loyal support. The. republican national convention will be held in Chicago next June. The last time they met there they £ave us Mr. Harding and the Star: M a lot of tough times' Hoover and Curtis will be the nominees Il is expected. Every one is more interested in where the democrats will meet, what they will do and who they will name. A republican congressman charges openly that President Hoover has “proposed to sell us out." A democrat demands that some member from the otdier side of the house defend the president. There is quite an uproar which winds up in a draw. Now there's a situation

that may give you some idea of what is going to happen after the Christmas vacation when things really begin to warm up. Ed Bush, lieutenant governor with .an eye on the governorship for ' which lie has been a candidate the ! past several years, favors the callI ing of a special session of the legisI lature to enact income and luxury tax laws and to provide for turnI ing all the county roads over to the |state. It may be well to think some [of that over before tve get to i shouting. We doubt whether the [state could handle all the toads in [a satisfactory manner and we are afraid it would cost more than it does now. Arthur Brisbane got into a fashionable New York speakeasy the other night, claims it his first visit ■ I to a place of that kind and de-' scribes it as a SIOO,OOO bar where . any thing you ever heard of can be obtained and patronized largely by women and girls. He says there I are fifty thousand places of that kind in New York City where there used to be 20,000 saloons. Looks as though he might be a good witness if any one wanted to get some real dope but the trouble seems to ibe that no one wants to badly enough. , A hired farm hand in Nebraska worked all his life and bought three farms which he is giving his daughter and is now starting to pay for a fourth. If the daughter is of the present day and generation it will i not take her a lifetime to spend as I much as the old man has saved. ! The above is used to show tliat a man who has worked on a farm all I his life has a practical knowledge I that farming pays—pays well. He [ also knows that it is a safe investment for his daughter and insures i < ompetence and happiness if she ' and her husband only live up to j the worthy example of her father. He was an industrious, honest, dependable man or he could not have held his jobs so long and so well.
