Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Eat cheese this week, its good for you and good for every one else. America must get rid of her surplus of farm products. Good Fellows are subscribing to the fund for the loor kiddies so they will have a happy Christmas. That’s important tor you won't enjoy the day if you know there are some in the city who have longed and looked for Santa in vain. Cheese is the subject for a nation wide campaign this week, the '(lea being that we all try to use a pound extra so the big surplus will be disposed of. That's a delightful order for most folks for there is no food much more delicious nor is there any that is letter for us to eat. Some secret agent, passing out propaganda of some sort, trhd to tell a little Irishman working on a project near Indianapolis, that it was a bubble and that President Roosevelt didn’t know his stuff The workman crawled out of the ditch, hit the fellow over lbe head and returned to his job, only losing a couple of strokes. And that settled that argument. Otto Hoile, well known Union township farmer has a right to feel proud over the fact that he won : he grand national championship for a hog carcas. That means he i had the best hog in the United I States for butchering pu.poser, an ! honor difficult to obtain and one | earned by years of honest effort ! ly Mr. Hoile. It is always good news when a local citizen “brings home the bacon’’ and Mr. Holie has the congratulations of hundreds ' who are proud of his success. The reduction of electric light rates, now being proposed by the city council is a fine thing for • very one and is In compliance with their promises made some montlis ago. The city plant is one of the finest in the state and has helped in many ways to make life worth while in Decatur and surrounding territories. Well managid and well maintained, it will go on keeping up with the times and doing a big share towards a better day. The division of the city into four BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS ?|T Greeting*}? SHOPPING DAYS TO CHRISTMAS

wards as provided by the new law is quite a problem for the city dads. Under the statute we must have four wards in Decatur and these are to be as near even in electorate as possible That's just a little hard to do without making some of the wards so large that voting is made inconvenient because of the distance to the polls. I After the wards are fixed, it will i become the duty of the county commissioners to fix the precincts here and over the county. Modern times and modern vehicles require revision of that old saying about closing the barn door

) after the horse is stolen. The garage has replaced the barn and the automobile stands where the horse once did. Where the risk used to come in leaving the barn doors open it now comes in keeping the garage doors closed. That is to remind us of the danger of warming ; I up the motor of one’s car on cold mornings, with the garage doors closed. It’s a danger that has materialized often in death. It is. as are a number of other modern perils, more dangerous than the i leaving of the barn doors open was in the days past. The St. Marys river project has ■ gone through and more than ten ! thousand dollars will be expended * in cleaning the banks, grubbing the I bed and dragging the center of the ( stream. With a little landscaping ; ' in the spring, the appearance of

this old stream will be a decided asset. A committee from the Lion's club with,L. A. Cowens as chairman have worked for this part of the public works program and deserve much credit.. They will follow through by seeing that the beautifying is kept going until complete. The project will be under the supervision of Fred Linn, city street commissioner and Ralph Roop, county surveyor, this being a combined county and city improvement. We are informed by a local man who has had much experience in ; the produce market that present conditions as to surpluses are the worst ever known. There is an over supply of butter amounting to 108.000,U00 pounds, there are 1.689,000 cases of eggs, 30 dozen to the case on the market, the surplus ;ot cheese is 25,076.000 pounds. Butter this week reached a new alltime low on the Chicago market and it is predicted that eggs will soon be down to a dime a dozen. These statements are somewhat i alarming unless we look at them in a sensible way. We can bring good markets back by using more of these goods. The farmer who I uses a substitute for butter is injuring himself much more than he profits. Use butter, cheese and eggs and help put the market where it belongs. — TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat Filo • 4 C.
