Bill Rogers says business may be off sixty per cent in this country but that's still fifty per cent better than any of the numerous countries he visited on his recent trip. * it has always been important that you do your trading at home but we believe it is more so now than ever. We need to keep every dollar here we can. That's the best way to restore prosperity we know ot. The state of Wisconsin will raise a fund by income taxes and use the ' money to reimburse farmers so that they may sell their products ' without loss. It sounds tipe if ft works anti the experiment will be ' followed by every state and even the federal government itself. The wheat surplus is 3lo.mm.uuo ' bushels. Looks as though we will he foolish to raise a lot more this fear hut it the western farmers don't raise that what will they produce? There seems to be plenty of every thing else too. The federal farm board doesn’t seem to have solved the problem. Merchants of Decatur announce a “Way Back When" sales in this issue. There are real bargains that you can’t afford to pass up. Remember you can buy now for less money than ever and less than you will be able to after a while. Its a mighty good time to shop and here is the place. Frank Mayr, Jr., secertary of , state, who lias been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, his announced that he will be a candidate for re-election to his present office, which evidently , takes him out of the former race. Other democratic office holders announced their candidacies at the siyntr time. Contracts for the Great latkes .Sugijr Company are being printed this week and it is expected the fielthnen will be started to work in a few days Plans are going forward- rapidly now, according to information from Toledo and it won't be long until we begin to see evidence of their intentions to operate the local plant. That's something that ought to cheer every citizen here. It doesn't take much to cheer , the republican politicians evidently. They are all pepped up because they think they foresee a dead- ( lock in the convention. That's all bunkum for when the time comes, the event will he as smooth as any Why FAT Piles Up Modern science has discovered a great cause. A certain gland grows weak, usually after 30. Then foods which once fed energy go largely to fat. People slow down and gain weight. Doctors, the world over, now combat that cause. People who consult them are keeping slender now. The factor they use is embodied in Marmola prescription tablets, at small cost. People have used them for 24 years -—millions of boxes Os them. In almost every circle you see the results. No stirva'ion is advised. Marmola supplies the factor needed to turn food to vixn. As the extra fat gees, new energy 1 returns. Go learn whit Marmola means to you. At all druggists—Sl.

The city offices have been moved down stairs In the new quarters of the city hall and the officials are busy greeting their friends und customers. The rooms ua arranged are convenient und attractive and the committee and council are entitled to much commendation for providing such an Improvement at the very low cost of $5,000. The new offices are the equal of those in cities much larger and will prove popular both with the public and the officials. The Chamber of Commerce will organize this evening and supported by the board, membership and every citizen interested in this community they can accomplish many things during the year. One of the first matters that we believe could be handled successfully is the matter of securing improvements on the state roads. The highway between here and Willshire should be taken over by the state, the seven miles on No. 27. north from here needs resurfacing and No. 16 between here and Huntington will be hard surfaced soon. There are other matters pertaining to the sugar factory and to other local industries that should have attention. The new organization will be glad to serve the community in any way it can. Give them your suggestions and your help. Many times every week we hear the question, when will business improve. We can tell you. Just as stain as people quit hoarding and I put their money in the banks. Then the banks will begin loaning mon ey ami people will brorow it to buy farms and to buy property, to start factories and do a thousand other things. But every person who draws his money out of the bank in order to hoard it or hide it is doing his full share to prolong the panic. Return of good times does not depend on congress, on the big business men or any other class, but on millions of people who can help if they would only deposit , their money and do their banking business as usual. That is why a nation wide movement has been set on foot to stop hoarding. Ami hoarding does not mean simply hiding money away in tin cans or old socks or safety deposit boxes. It means the failure to use money in a normal way.— Hartford City News. Lessons In English Words often msused: Do not say "The hoy favors bis mother.'’ Say "resembles his mother."

than on her return from Europe, the Swedisn star will make tests next week at several major studios. She says she can't bear to be •way from the cameras any longer. “How little these people know,” she declares, “who object to being

stopped for autographs and for talks over the microphone. Let them lose this for a while and , they’d realize how much it means to them. “These days 1 can walk down Hollywood Boulevard and not be recognized by anyone. But do 1 like the privacy? I don't. It only j' makes me realize how fleeting j fame is.” Anna's story, during the last few years, is one of many obstades overcome. Injured by a fall , from a horse, she was off the , screen for many months. Then . she tried to come back too soon. The result was one picture, "The Blockade,” followed by a relapse. , It wasn't until her return from Europe last year that she thought again of making a comeback. By this time slim figures were at the height of their vogue. Anna decided to take off 30 pounds. To do this she went on a starvation | diet and was stricken with pneumonia. During her illness—and ( Hollywood hasn’t heard this until . now—she spent five weeks at a hospital under an assumed name. But today all that is forgotten. Under the guidance of Freddie Erqlich, who has managed her career for years, she's ready for the adventure of the talkies. EVEN IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS, IT’S FUNNY. They say the remark has been knocking around Hollywood for months, but have you heard Frederick Lonsdale’s description of a certain British author? “That man,” said Lonsdale, “is every other inch a gentleman.** SOME GOSSIP YOU HAVEN'T HEARD Hollywood understands that “Bh” Rogers, brother of Buddy, is reconciled with his pretty young

Strangers were unknown to his home; men in all stations of life were equally welcomed there. He united early in life with the German Reformed Church of Lordstown.

People forget Humpy's calls. They’ll be sure to remember all about the rubbers they sold him." The doctor walked with the hoys to Miss Spenlow’s house und left them at the door. Miss Speiilow was the only lady in the village who took boarder*. She had agreed to take Shad nt four dollars a week if he would sleep witli Bony "and promise to| be a good boy.” She rather enjoyed the mothering and correcting and bullying of these two boys. She wns often threatening to send them away, but would have wept if they had left her. She bad a curious interest in their talk anil perversity. They were weary and soon asleep. : Shad was up at six. He got his breakfast, then put some clothing in Bony’s small pack basket. He was ready to take the since goinu south at seven o’clock. The sun shone warm out of a clear sky. It softened the surface of the frozen road and improved the wheeling. 1 They reached South Bolton, the end of the stage line, nt eleven' o’clock. Shad went to Hubbard’s store. At a desk sat a well-dressed | young lady. She turned from her' task its the boy entered Immediately Shad recognized her. She whs the girl whom he and Bony had seen at the door of Bumpy's shack ' one Sunday—the sir! with the' liHUght.v manner, the handsome eyes: and the glowing red cheeks. She was much stouter than she had I been. “Good morning!" she said with no change in her countenance. “What can I do for you?" “I believe you know Bumpy j Brown." Shad began. “Well, what if I do?" she answered coldly. Shad told of his purpose. She laughed in the unemotional sash- I ion of Bumpy’s parrot, and asked: “Do you think that we can remember tlie numbers of all the rubbers we sell and the names of the; men that buy them? That's lutpos- > slhle." Many tilings were impossible in South Bolton. It was a little ham- 1 let in the edge of the big woods. [PM "You're a Good-Looking BoyT Said the Girl. "Where Are You Going?" There were no more than forty or fifty people living In its huddle of small houses. "You're a good-looking boy," said the girl. "Where are you going?" "Into the woods above Mose St. Germam's." "Wliy don’t you stop here a while? We’re going to have a dance and a party at our house." "I'm sorry, but I have to see a man who is at Kildare pond today," lie said. “Is there a livery stable in the place?" “Yes. It’s Just across the street." "I'll run over there a minute," he said as lie left her. Shad made a bargain with the livery man to drive hltn to Mose St. Germain's immediately after dinner. He returned to Hubbard's store, sat down there nnd ate a part of his lunchton. The horse and buggy arrived and he set out with the livery num on a ten mile ride up the sand plains to the house of Mose St. Germain. The famous guide was nt home. He had left Colonel Blake and Judge Swift In the woods. They were hunting. Mose drew a diagram of the trail for Shad to take with higi. This jj a reproduction of it. save the ■antes:

Then he was to cross to a big rock in the far edge of the pond beyond which he i would find the trail to Kildare He. 1 Mose, would take the long trail I around the pond. Shad set out on the min-ii traveled trail. He found the waiting i canoe and could see the rock of ' which Mose had spoken, about a ! quarter of a mile away on the far ! shore. His treasures, vvrapptsl In < his sweater, were now in tlie pack : basket. Tins lie depositvai in tlie bow. A skillful paddler. he puslu-d through a border of lily-pads and I out into the clear water. He wns well beyond tlie middle of the pond when a shot from tlie : shore behind Idin shattered the i silence of the deep vale ami filled it with echoes. Shad jumpeil. A billI let had wldzzed by his head and struck Hie water he' -nd him, ami rieoi-hetted on Its surface. It had come from some point on Hie shore : he had left a Idt east of him. A thought Hashed through bls ■ brain. He flung Ids feet over ths stern and dropped into tlie water. ! and none too quickly. Another hall i had whizzed through the air above ■ him. in a rush of sound. Reaching up. he seized the gunwale, and. keeping tlie canoe het ween.him and ‘ the direction whenee the shot had come, swam with his free arm. Tlie i shooting ceased. The man whose rifle had been aimed at him was . no doubt seeking a more favorable . point of attack. Shall, with the I skill of :i la<l whose cradle, one I may almost say. had been a canoe in water, made swifter progress i than his enemy had thought possible. He got beyond the rock nnd ashore, seized Ids pack basket and crept into the thicket, dragging It beside him. Now covered, he arose, thrust his arms through the basket : straps and ran. He was about a i mile and a half from Center pond when he came to the abandoned lumber camp on Mose St. Germain's chart. It stood In a little clearing. His clothes, drained and warmed by Ids exercise, were beginning to dry. The first drops of i a cob) rain were falling. I i Night was coming on. He conhl ' Just dimly see tlie outlines of the log structure. He knew that its roof, covered with tar-papsr, would ( protect him. It did. In a moment i the air seemed to he filled with the j downpour of cold water. shad stood by one of the window embrasures looking nut at the } storm. The rain turned to sleet and > stopped suddenly. The clouds passed. The moon was peering ■ through tlie treet ips in the east. 1 i Shad had stepjied toward the door I ready tn go on his way, when he ' I saw a man with a rifle on his sboul- . I der stealthily approaching the camp. He seemed a man of prodig ions size bigger than any one Shad knew. Tlie boy’s heart boat fast. 1 lie stranger crossed a wide path of moonlight that cut the shadows. As lie did so Shad observed that ' his face was covered with a handkerchief. The man was entering the doorway when Shad leaped i Hirou*h a window opening In the i rear of tlie shack and ran. ' A conviction hid come to the ' noy that be was the man who had ' been shooting at Wm E | Sp „, bv ' did he cover his face?
