By the way its only about five weeks until Christmas and there is much to be done if we get ready. Decatur shops have prepared especially for the occasion this year and you will do well if you start jeur shopping early. President Hoover and his cabinet have pledged themselves to a drive for new economies and cuts in every direction will be made. 1 hat's fine, but it should have been done two or three years ago, so we could now be feeling the results. The work of the Red Cross and other charity organizations in Decatur and that of Thompson Nell, trustee of Washington township is most commendable this year. They are making every effort to take care of the needy and in every way they can. There will be little actual suffering here this winter, except by those too proud to let it be known. Well, well, Col. Raymond Robbins. famous dry leader who disappeared September 2nd and was supposed to have been kidnaped, wasn't lost at all. He was just living up in the mountains of South Carolina under an assumed name. Something funny about it and if it was any one less sincere, he might be charged with having gotten hold Os some bad liquor. Well, here goes the basketball season, surest cure for the blues and worries of those who attend the games. You will find them more exciting this year because of some new rules which prevent holding the ball and which makes the players keep on high every minute. Get season tickets and start attending. You will get a big “kick" out of the fun. Thursday of this week is Thanksgiving Day and there is one thing we can all give thanks for and that is that a dinner with turkey, cranberry sauce, oysters and every thing, will cost only about four dollars for all the family. Cost of Jiving has been reduced and there are other things for which most of us can give thanks. Make it a happy occasion. A Republican boss in Philadelphia had ihousuids of cards printeci for circulation among the negroes. urging the election of Roosevelt and signed "Ku Klux Klan. The story has been told by the primer who did the job in the Davis investigation. That's dirty politics and we hope the perpetrat-

ors arc taught that in thia country there are some things we won't stand for, even during a campaign. It is reported that Governor Met Nutt hopes to conclude the 1933 session of the legislature in forty days instead of the sixty-one per- . mitted under the constitution. We L hate to say any thing that might slacken the governor's hopes but ■ we doubt if he can do this, ali 11 though we have great faith in his] ' I ability. If he does he will prove 1 I , himself a master and a great 'j leader. — The job of road superintendent is not what you could call "easy pie” at any time and when heavy snow storms come, its about as tough as you can have. During the past week, the men who take care of the Adams county highways have been busy, clearing them for traffic and they have done a commendable job. Visitors here Saturday said the roads were well cleared and in excellent condition, considering the season. Tell Chris Eicher and his assistants that you appreciate their efforts, if you do. Governor Roosevelt will talk to President Hoover tomorrow afternoon about our foreign debts and since the governor will be President after March 4th, he is very much interested. The public is al most unanimously in favor of tell-1 ing England. France and Italy to ■ keep their word or lose their credit, so far as this country is concerned but the President and his successor may have a plan that will solve it to the satisfaction of the public and Senator Borah. In this county the past two years. 104 farms, totalling 7.800 acres have been sold because of foreclosure of mortgages or in other forced manner. That's terrible here where such things have scarcely occurred previously, but after all, as French Quinn points out, it is comparatively small when we cousider that there are 2,1401 farnis with 208,066 acres, in the ccunty. The percentage is small a.nd while the depression has been the worst ever known here, we believe we have hit bottom and that most of those who have managed to hold on this long, will come through. The record is an excellent one and further proof that this « is a great county and its citizens are real folks. Let's keep on tighti,,S - I I ‘ I Household Scrapbook I - B y- I!

Oily Skin A good remedy for air oily skin ami shiny nose is to wash the face once a day with fresh, clear water, into which the juice of one lemon | has been stirred. Black Silk Ribbons When the black, silk ribbons have become shabby in appearance.; stretch them securely, sponge well 1 with vinegar, roll them for a short | time, and then iron on the wrong side. The renovation will be surprising. * TWENTYYEARS ° AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File j » — > Licensed to wed: Ada Death and James Everett. Arthur O.

August. “But the docs all say I'm cT.zyl and they sent me to an asylum once so if they say now I'm not! crazy—well. then. I ask you. whatj will that make of them?" Varechal asked the police. "This boy not only is sane, but I is as cunning a criminal as we; have observed in a long time." 1 said Drs H. Douglas Singer end I Harry H. Hoffman, who heard the J confession. When arrested. Varecha denied his identity. When officers pre-! pared to take lus Huger prints he' told them: "Never mind the ink.' I'm Varecha.” He then denied any connection! with the south side reign of terror| in which Jordan was killed. James ] Mi Elligott wounded, and Miss! Henry attacked. He said he spent! Wednesday night at the home of] bis sister. Mrs. Mary Minski. When officers told him Mrs.l Minski denied this, he asked them 1 , to Wing her to him. refusing to! comment until he heard from her] own lips the denial. "The jigs up. I'll talk." he said then, and began his story, breakI ing into it frequently to remind the police again that "the docs I all say I'm crazy—why. they even ‘ ] sent me to an asylum onee." Varecha. an intelligent appeari ing youth who insisted on being ■ photographed smoking a cigarette "just to show that I’m cool,” was captured because of his boastfulness. After he attacked Miss Henry ] last Wednesday he held her pris-] oner in a stolen automobile for i several hours, boasting to her of his "career." During that time!

> she obtained such an accurate tiescription of him tint police were able quickly to guess he was Varecha. Then, on Saturday night, Varecha went into the burlesque thea- ,, ter and bragged to the man sitting ! next to him. i "I'm the guy they’re looking for ■ on account of those murders, and I've got two guns," he whispered. The man slipped out. called police, and "Izzy the bad one” was taken to jail. FOURTH NATION MAKES APPEAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Great Britain, France and Belgium in urging the United States to re-| consider the European war debts. The Czechoslovakia debt totals $91,879,671.03. This represents cash loans by the United States of $61,974,041.10 and war and relief supplies worth 729.905.629.93. 't'zecho-Slovakia was the first European nation to fund its debt to the United States, it did this in 1923, soon after the world war debt funding commission was created. It contracted to pay an average interest rate of 3.3 per cent, as high as the rate given any other nation. Thp administration source which suggested the probability of the economic conference arising at the White House discussions, did not. however, connect it with the debt issue. In accepting the league of nai tions invitation to the conference the state department specified i that war debts and tariff rates should not be discussed there. This iepresents the view of the Hoover administration. tsut it is not known whether the Democrats, into whose administration the eon-j ference would extend, share a ■ similar view. Secretary of State Stimson, it was learned today, has been working for several days preparing data on war debts and other ] I questions for the White House I i conference tomorrow. He does ■ not. however, expect to attend it. • ■Stimson met tlie press today i | hut declared at the outset of the! j conference that he would not] j answer any questions regarding ! war debts or Japan’s reply to the: I Lytton commission’s report on; I Manchuria.
