Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Tell your friends to subscribe for the Daily Democrat and help one of the contestants in the Christmas Club now ip full tilt. They will appreciate it and you know we will. Atttend the banquet at the Knights of Pythias home this evening. You will enjoy the program and it will interest you because it is planned to give a real agricultural fair here next August. How would it be if when the officers capture a kidnaper, he would be held for a large ransom and treated as rough as they frequently treat others? In other words why not give them some of their own medicine? Mathias Kirsch, veteran member of the county council and highly respected for hrs good judgment, will continue- as chairman of that important board, much to the satisfaction of all who know his sincerity and honesty of purpose. If you didn't vote in the recent election, from any cause, you must register again before you are eligible. That's the law in Indiana and if you care any thing about your rights of suffrage, you should see that you are duly and properly qualified Os course if Louisiana wants Huey Long to he a Czar, there is probably no way to prevent it, but as long as he continues his high handed methods, that state will suffer from a lack of national assistance, which in d'i> time ought to bring them to their senses. Support Dan Tyndall, president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, in efforts to promote an agricultural fair here next August. It will be if plans now under way are carried out, not a street fair, but a display of Adams county live stock and products and an affair of real merit. The voters of the second Indiana district will jump right back into politics, just when they thought they had every thing settled for two years. The dealt of Frederick Landis makes it mandatory that a special election be held to till his place and tile scrap will be "n from now until the matter is decided. Business is improving. You hear it "on every hand and you know it by making an Inventory of your own affairs the past sixty days as compared to a year ago. And it will continue to improve, for the depression is passing and will soon be forgotten in your busy every day efforts to make up for the Josses. Seventy thousand people saw the Michigan-Ohio game at Columbus Saturday and all over the country capacity crowds were reported- Its great to attend one of these events and worth the cost to make you forge the cares and worries of every day life. If you do so. you

will be convinced that times are not so seriously bad. The Boston stock exchange is j, one outfit that must believe the national administration Is earnest in their efforts to stop the graft ’ which has caused so much loss in this country. To avoid a half mil- ; lion dollar fine for illegal quotations, that exchange has agreed to close for good. The merchant who is not advertising now is foolishly throwing away business. The trade is good for those who offer goods attractively and tell the buying public about it. Through this paper you can reach 15,000 to 20,000 readers any evening and its certainly some benefit to give your message to that number in your own trading radius. President Roosevelt is continuing plans for providing a “more abundant life" for the people of this nation, an ideal worth while and one which should bring to him the support of every one. He has completed a tour of the south, where giant plants ale being constructed and will enjoy a weeks rest at Warm Springs, where he will develop plans for other betterments. The three billion-dollar appropriation for the Home Owners Loan Corporation is getting so low that new applications will not be received. Those in will be given the same consideration as heretofore but until some other means is provided, those who have failed to apply, will have to look to some other method of financing As we | feared, there must be an end to I this loaning some time. Lightning rods are coming in to their own. Years ago this was a great business and then the slickers came along and made it such a graft that the installation of these lightning arresters became obsolete. Then many argued they were ; useless but now the scientists declare they are of great benefit and recommend their use, especially on farm barns, where nine out of ten losses from this cause occur. Winston Churchill, famous London statesman and publist warns his country that there is grave danger of war and that it is wisdom to prepare by building the greatest air fleet in the w-orid. That makes similar preparations necessary in America for while the attitude is against war, it is also quite favorable that we be ready to defend ourselves. When the world goes wild with the war fever again, no one can foretell what the final outcome will be. o—- * Answers To Test Questions Below are the anrwera to tha Tert Questions printed on Page Two. ♦ 1.

EXILES FOUND DEAD ON ISLAND Starvation and Thirst End Adam And Eve Existence On Isle , Los Angeles, Nov. 19 — (U.K) — 1 i Starvation and thirst on a barren ' I volcanic island off the coast of ' Ecuador have ended the Adam and i Eve existence of a man and woman • | believed to be Mr. and Mrs. Arthur | Wittmer who sought happiness in I an isolated Eden. Discovery of two bodies on one j of the most desolate islands of the I Galapagos group was reported by , radio by Captain Manuel Rodrigu. I mez of San Diego, skipper of the | tuna clipper Santo Amaro. A bundle of baby’s clothing lay near the victims but no third body was found. From a description of the liodies, Capt. G. Allan Hancock, Los An-' geles oil magnate and amateur l scientist, said he was convinced the victims were the Wittmers. a German couple who found happiness and parenthood on Charles j Island with other “exiles.” Their! child, a son, was 2 years old when ‘ Hancock visited them last February while on a scientific expedition. A graphic struggle against hung'er and thirst was depicted in brief advices the tuna clipper radioed ’ here. • Apparently, the two set out in a ■ small skiff to visit another island ■ when a violent storm dashed their j ■ I frail craft against the beach of | Marchena island, one of the most isolated of the Galapagos group. Without food or shelter, they sought shelter from the sun. Their ■ wrecked skiff was erected as a

roof. They averted starvation, I momentarily al least, by killing a ■ seal Decayed remnants of the | mammal were found. But there, was no water. ft was believed they fought thirst, for days before succumbing. The J nian died first. This was attested by the fact his body was dragged I under the lee of the boat and coy-j ered with articles of his mate’s , clothing. His head was pillowed I on her coat. A strip of the lining was carefully laid over his face Her heroism ended, the woman dragged herself out of sight of the body and died. Her body was clad only in lingerie. • o * « Adams County Memorial Hospital * ♦ Mrs. Orland Marshall. 604 Jefferson street, major emergency operation, Sunday morning.
