The government has a campaign on to collect about a billion dollars of back income taxes. It might be in line to inquire why they were not collected when due. Register between January 15th and April Ist if you wish to vote. It's a little early hut we, are reminding you so you will have it in mind and not wait for the final rush as so many did on the automobile license requirement. It seems impossible that Horace Callow, friendly and kindly merchant has passed on. For many years he has been a familiar figure in Decatur. Always pleasant, helpful and optimistic, he had many friends who will miss him deeply and regret his sudden death. You can register witli tile county or city clerk, with any of the assessors or with one of the deputies, so there can be no good reason for not doing so. You must register to qualify to vote and once you have done so, you won't have to bother about it again unless you move or change your name. We can’t till you all the things that will happen the next year but we promise to give them to you as they occur. During the next month or so you can pay for the paper an entire year for only J 2.50. Think of getting the news each day of the year excepting Sunday and holidays, for that amount. You can't afford to be without it. Now is the time to get in on this offer. The state will cooperate with the county in building a walk along the concrete road east of Decatur, giving those who live at Bellmont park a place to walk to and from town in safety. As it is now it is very dangerous for the pedestrians and J. D. Adams, state highway commission chairman has signified his desire to cooperate in Ulis improvement. The authorities arc going after those who handle liquor in an illegal manner in the Calumet district of Indiana and in Chicago and they should. If the law is not enforced rigidly we will soon be in the same position we were before. Once the gangster gets hold of the liquor business, there is nothing much to be done it seems. Surely this great country won’t admit defeat by such men as Capone and his associates. The big magazines and many socalled big business men are trying to attract the attention of the public by advocating a central party, not too conservative and not too radical. The joke of It Is that the. fellows who favor such a party are the ones who cheered Senator Jim Watson when he said lie would Jikc to build a tariff wall ten miles high. Just now they would like

to have it lowered considerably but in power again they would turn to their old efforts to help those who have at the expense of those who haven’t. As promised by Ora Baker, district road superintendent, several weeks ago, the center line has been placed on road 27 from here north to the county line and needless to say it is appreciated. The Tibbon is black, it being decided by experts that this is better titan the white line which used to be 1 in vogue. Night drivers will feel much safer with this line to guide them. Thanks Ora. — Dr. Fred Patterson has been j elected president of the Rotary club and the fact is assurance of a busy and successful year for that splendid service club. Dr. Patterson is capable and efficient and loves the work these organizations do. He will succeed Carl Klepper who has made an excellent record as president of the club the past ■ year and who is locating at Huntington. The government will borrow a large amount of money from the people in a modern loan drive probably similar to those during the war. It may be necessary to ask ■ as much as teu billion dollars , which would place the public debt i at something near what it was | when the war closed. Os course that seems terrible but it should be remembered that the money be-1 ing spent is being used to save I this country just as much as was that used during the great world struggle. If President Roosevelt's plans to place the country back on a prosperous basis work out, the debt can again be reduced. And it might be well to remember that the present administration did not bring about the condition which caused the big deficit. It was on a year ago and with much less hope of coming out of it. o i * AUCTION SCHOOL NOTES Marvin Hitchcox, 1 ■ Secretary *- ♦ , This has been a week of happy surprises for the students, they have had the pleasure of meeting , several new instructors.

Alice Faye

Rudy Vallee and Alice Faye soon will face a lover’s parting. For Rudy i must go East in a few weeks to | fulfill his radio and night club engagements. And Alice xigned a four year contract at Fox, where her ; screen debut is the talk of the whole studio. They are giving Rudy credit, too, for an ex- , tremely unselfI ish gesture. He i held a personal i contract for

> Alice’s services, but when her opportunity came for a film career, he i waived his rights and allowed her I to sign with Fox. The rise of the little singer is one of those magic success stories that Hollywood is famous for. She came out to sing one number in “The Scandals,” “Oh You Nasty Man.” Just at that time, Lilian Harvey had her argument with the studio and dropped from the cast. Before Fox could replace her with a big name, they heard Alice’s number , and promptly shot her into the | vacancy. I From a small part to near stardom in three days. Little Charlotte Henry (“Alice in Wonderland”) gets her biggest thrill from a poem just written to ' her by Mrs. Henry T. Rainey, wife ! of the Speaker of the House of Representatives: ' “,To walk in a veil of illusion To live in a waking dream Accepting every delusion Take things just as they seem | Think for your self intended The smile of the farthest star: Live thus and life is splendid, But beware of things as they are.” The little actress had luncheon with Mrs. Rainey during her persona] appearance tour, and the meeting inspired the poem.
