The cool breeze which came Saturday took the leaves, turned autumn into early winter and made us all consider the coal bins and food pautriesGovernor McNutt is answering his critics in the meetings he is hotding in this campaign and to the fullest satisfaction of every one inclined to be fair. Indiana will be proud of Shay Mintou when he goes to the senate in January and they will continue to be proud of him the next six years. He is honest, fearless, able and entirely trustworthy. Look for a spurt in business after election. There will be a twoyear rest from politics and industrial leaders of the country will do every thing they can to start the wheels going and to keep them purring right along. Next year should be the best in a long time. It’s like old times to have John A. M. Adair in this part of Indiana during a campaign. He is a wise student of economics who has always been fair and honest with the voters and who is now advising the support of the administration because he knows it is best for the peopleThe Yellow Jackets made a great record on the gridiron this year and are now receiving much deserved credit. Not a game lost during the season, a record unequalled since the Decatur high schools have played the game. Bully boys, we are proud of you and your excellent record. The election will be held a week from tomorrow. Indications in this county are that the Democraticticket v.‘!l win by large majorities. A few of the candidates have been making a little effort bat have discovered that in this old Jeffersonian territory, Democrats believe in supporting their candidates. Romo one is going to get a check for five hundred dollars for Christmas shopping and you can be the on'£ if you decide to go after it. Others will receive from $23 to S2OO in the subscription contest to be put on by the Daily Democrat. Head the rules and get In the race. It will be fun and you will bo paid for it. Youngsters as usual are rushing the Halloween season a little, which is fine as long as they remember it is against the law to destroy property. Dressin' up in outlandish costumes has long been popular and does provide amusement. not only for those who wear them but for those whom they visit and the big show will culminate here with the big Calithuuipiau celebration Wednesday evening,

Build Decatur is the slogan and the platform of the Democratic candidates for city offices. Surely that's the thing most important tor | every one for to do that Job right, we must have every thlug so that our citizens may be happy. That 1 means employment, good service, courteous officials, low tax rates, a t balanced budget and a happy peo- • pie. Os course its a big undertakt ing but it can and will be done. I The General Electric plants here j and at Fort Wayne have shown a ; 42 % increase in orders the past ) nine months as compared to the 1 same period last year. That's a ( good showing and the management is hoping for even a larger improvement next year. Mr. Goll says that a slight decline in business is to be expected the next thirty or sixty days but they have every reason to believe that 1935 will be an old fashioned one. Republican campaigners started out to fight the national administration. Came the Maine eleetion and closed them up tight. They started after Governor McNutt and found they had stirred up a hornet's nest for the governor met them more than half way, aswered every criticism and came through with flying colors. Now they haven't any thing to shoot at and can only sit around twiddling their thumbs and wishing there was some way they could got Into the game again Remember the date. Friday. November 9th. That's when we are going to formally reopen state highway No. 527, an important titup between Indiana and Ohio. The event will be celebrated in due manner with the state commissioners from both states and other notables in attendance. The election will he all over and it will be a great occasion for getting together and celebrating a really constructive improvement- The new high- J way and the bridges, both built by Adams county contractors, is one of the best jobs ever completed in this part of the country and we appreciate it. Join the big parade that day, go to the state line and watch them cut the ribbon, then return here and help make the event a happy one for all con. cerned. — —o r TWENTY YEARS~* AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Oct 29. —Germany is massing a fleet of airplanes.

Daffodils for Winter Cheer

The trumpet narcissus, to which the name daffodil has popularly been given to distinguish it from the narcissus types with cups and crowns, is easily grown in pots in the house, ranking with the hyacinth in this respect. The most commonly grown cfg all the narcissus tribe is the Chinese lily, so called, a narcissus of the polyanthus or many flowered class. Ranking next to It is the pure white Paper Whit" type. They are easily grown in water with pebbles to anchor the roots or in prepared fiber as well as in ordinary soil in which they flourish quite as well or even better than in water. These bunch flowered narcissi are the easiest tq grow indcora and must be so grown, as they are not hardy in the Open ground. But the big trumpets grow very j readily inJoors. Potted now, the ; nose of the bulb just above the soil j and set away to make roots they j can be brought out in a few weeks j to brighten up the living room. If | the atmosphere is too hot and dry, j none of the nareissis will flourish as they should. The fbuds are likely to blast.

It Will not be uaed if yon prafar that it not ba, — -♦ To the Editor of The Democrat: The move moot to humanize (rapping customs continues to make progress. Opposition to use of torturing traps Is apt to be supported by humane organizations. Audubon societies, women's clubs, Boy Sconta and by many individuals with ethical Inclinations Prominent men and women have devoted time to advancement of a measure to reduce the cruelty associated with the fur industry. Those unfamiliar with the operation of the ateel-trap may possibly conceive some notion of the anguish endured by an animul held prisoner by a crushed leg if they recall their own suffering in simply jamming a finger. The pole-trap suspends its victim by his mutilated limb and some forms of snare strangle by degrees. Devices are already on the market which capture without the usual horror and others are likely to appear as the demand necessitates. Some of the humane traps are the inventions of trappers, for there are trappers who are decir. ous of eliminating pain from their occupation. The destruction of burrowing pests can often be accomplished through humane means such as the use of calcium cyanide or the exhaust from a gas engine. A law was enacted In Massachusetts in 1930 forbidding use of devices in the capture of furbearers not designed to kill at once or take alive unhurt- An exception was made in the case of traps set within fifty yards of a building or cultivated land. South Carolina and Georgia preceded the BayState in gaining legislation to restrict use of the steel-trap and Arkansas has taken steps In this direction. Many states have had bills with this intent under consideration. An organization know n as the Anti-Steel-Trap League was founded some years ago in Washington, D. C., with the purpose of securing abolition of the steel.trap. Will the citizens of Indiana longer tolerate the barbarous practices connected with the procuring of ■ their fur adornments?

And while Dr. Griffen's dental practice takes him back to New York soon, the star hopes to persuade him to spend at last six months of each year with her in California. Despite urgent telegrams from Max Iteinhardt, Eddie Cantor won't be able to play the character of Bottom In the German director's openair production of "Midsummer .Night'a Dream”. A group at the United Artists' studio were suggesting several other comedians who might play the role. But all happened to be busy. “Well. If nobody else turns up,” said Cantor, “they can get Btopin Fetchlt and call It ‘Black Bottom'." Six months ago, James Wong Howe, the Chinese cameraman, went •into a shirt making firm, in Mexico (City to get measured up. The head (salesman said they’d be delighted, but [wouldn't Jimmia like to see some shirts exactly his size which had been 'made up and never called for. To (make a long story short.
