Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Rudy Vallee’s life is just one song after another — speaking of his marital troubles. We're getting back to old limes. An Indianapolis paper carries a front page headline on winning a golf championship. After all this baruni searuin talk about inflation and how the country was going to pot, it looks as if tlie big New Yorkers were wrong agai n. Slippery sidewalks and streets reminds you that old January with its changing weather is inching along. As the saying goes, "When the days grow lighter, the winter becomes tighter." Business reports indicate that retail trade increased from 20 to 30 per cent last December as compared with the same month a year ago: Stores were crowded during the holidays and buying reached a peak' on several occasions. The big auto show is on in New York and it's said to be the greatest and most thrilling on record. Talk about stream lines and other innovations of the auto industry. The new cars make the ones of a fewwyears ago look like hacks in comparison and once America’s income is boosted, look out for auto sales'. Formal hearing of the city's petition. to reduce, the light and power rates here will be heard at tho city hall. January 24. That won t lake long to decide and to show our appreciation of the council s action we might march in a body and express our thanks to the city dads, assuring the Public Service Commission representative that we want the reduction. Bishop Cannon is back on the front page, this time in connection with ruling of the supreme court, relative to the case in which ho was charged with failure to make the proper campaign reports iu 1928. The Bishop lias had a hectic time of it and more than likely has not been abl'J to give much time k or thought to his clerical duties. The Decatur Savings and Loan Association which held its annual meeting yesterday is looking forward to a busy and prosperous 1934. The company lias aided many people in financing purchase, of homes and with demand increasing here for modern houses the facilities of the home-owned association will be extended to many more during the year. The financial showing made in 1933 was good

.and the company Is on a safe foundation. —— Banks are in better condition today than they were In 1929. Values then were not true and even the big boys didn’t appreciate that they were headed for the rocks. Today hanks have ample cash, values arc based at rock bottom prices and confidence has been restored in financial institutions. We noticed a statement from a bank in this state that hail 39 millions in cash and loans of only 49 millions, which I indicates sooner or later some exI tension of credit and a revival of trail". The CWA work is going along nicely and many worthy and bene-1 fleial improvements are being made. The city lias laid a greater part of the new water mains, the river bank improvement project is I showing what work will do and Hanna Nuttmun park is fast being changed into a stilt greater place of natural beauty. The ditch work | in many parts of the county has been completed and drainage facil- 1 ities have been benefited. On top of this about 475 men are receiv- ' ing checks every week, assuring. them of a livelihood. The Cloverleaf Creameries. Inc., of this city, always progressive and alert to modern day trade methods, introduces to the public a new product, whipped butter. Made of the finest cream the new .product appeals to those who love good | butter and in that the local coni- ■ pany excels to the nth degree. Whipped butter is creamy in texture and is put up in attractive packages. Those who have tried it pronounce it more palatable than ordinary-mado creamery butter and i the reception given Cloverleaf’s tasty spread for bread assures its wide use and continued growth. The whole country will lie doing only one thing on the night of I January 30. In more than 5,000 towns the 52i.d birthday anniversary of President Roosevelt will be celebrated with a dance and bridge party or other form of entertainment, the idea being to raise a fund to endow the Warm Springs Foundation for treating infantile paralysis. It will be the country's way of wishing the President a I happy birthday and of showing the | true American heart —that of aiding tlie afflicted and those not able to avail themselves of the opportunity for proper medical treat- 1 merit. It's not going to be as easy as ! one might think to obtain a pen- j sion from the county and state. Dependent persons over 70 years of age, able, to qualify under the other provisions of the law, are first to be considered. In this county a thorough investigation is being made and where it is found that children are able to care for their parents the applications will not be O. K’d. The county must also hold in reserve a certain sum each year for emergencies and expenses in connection with administering relief to those on the pension rolls and the commissioners seek a fair and honest administration of the law. The imperial or crowned-head born miss a lot in life. In fact, after reading several installments ; of Queen Marie's life in a current weekly, we believe as she does, that, tlie children of the reigning families don't know what life is all about. They are brought up as fairies, everything is sort of a dream to them and they no doubt live in another world. Experience witli the crowned heads, including that of Marie's son, King Carol, convinces us that they arc ill prepared for the battles of life, are misfits and the least able to rule over people. . Marie's story of her life deals with several of till- despots of the day. Her cannines and tact < shown in the fad that she docs not try to defend the old imperial system, even to her foolish sou. '

NOR TOM It is a long cry back to the days when the idea of a woman sitting in Congress raised a laugh. In the present 73rd Congress, there are no less than nine women. The status of one still is in doubt. Six of the legislative ladies are shown with Speaker Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois (left to right): Representatives babelie Greenwav Arizona; Florence Kahn, California; Kathryn McCarthy, Kansas; Speaker Rainey; Virginia Jenckes Indiana; Edith N. Rogers. Massachusetts, and Marian Clarke, New York. In addition there are Mrs. Hattie Caraway, Arkansas, only woman member of the Senate; Mary Norton. Representative from New' Jersey, and Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp, of Louisiana, whose election, backed by the Huey Long machine, is disputed on grounds that she was elected without a primary.

It was the first broadcasting over the radio for most of tlie boys. It was a real thrill. We re pleased lo know by 1 lie telegrams, letters and our friends that the program was a decided success. Quite a number of tlie students attended tlie farm sale yesterday morning and were inspired by the masterful way in which Col. Roy Johnson conducted the auction. We had a small audience last night due to the icy walks and streets, but the sale and the giving away of prizes was a decided success. Will see you tonight.
