We didn't have balmier breezes last spring. When they build apartment bouses you know your town is growing. Times are better. One of the largest crowds in the city's history attended the Chamber of Com. merce banquet the other evening. People are interested in their community and in doing something, as was demonstrated by the large number that attended the C of C. meeting.

If you help the livestock autl agriculture fair next summer it j can be made one of the biggest events ever held in this part of the state. Any soy beans for sale? The Central Soya company of this city i will buy your supply, paying market price and opening a new market for farmers in this territory. Officials of the Central Soya Company announce that the new factory will open about December 1, or nearly one month ahead of schedule. That's putting through in the old Decatur style. Local firms will furnish hardware supplies, furnaces, sheet metal and spouting for the 48 new houses at the (Homestead site. These orders are appreciated by the Decatur firms and the con. tractors know that the finest of materials will be provided. The Daily Democrat has added two additional quotations to its market column. An egg quotation is furnished by the Fisher and Harris grocery and the Central Soya company will list the market price for soy beans. Kefer to this column when you have anything to sell. The first week of the Daily Democrat s Christmas club canvass was a great success. The members obtained a number of new subscriptions and renewed several hundred of the old ones. We appreciate t!Tts expression of confidence and assure our readers that every effort will be n.ade to make the home paper more entertaining and interesting to them. Decatur is to have a livestock, 4-H and agriculture fair next sum. mer. Members of the Chamber of Commerce and others voted to cooperate in staging an event of this kind, bringing the 4-H clubs, regional cattle shows. Home Economics clubs. Gold medal colt clubs together in a great county exhibit. Additional features will be a dairy day, school program and-an exhibit by the state conservation department. It will be a big week, will bring father, mother and the children together and give all an opportunity to see what Adams county produces. Throughout the state newly elected city officials ar6 busy with the job of selecting those who will fill

city posts next year. The task muy have been lightened becuuse of improved employment conditions over two years ago, but is not the easiest job in the world and probably more difficult In view of the smaller Held of applicants, it is the desire of every city head to obtain men best qualified for the various posts and with reduced budgets this is sometimes hard to do- Changes will not be made until the new year and prospects today may be eliminated by that time, due to other employment or reasons.

| The McConnells again demon- ) strate their faith in the future of Decatur by going ahead with their building plans and will give this city its first modern apartment house. A building 41 by at least 80 feet, or large enough for four modern apartments of six rooms each will be constructed on North : Third street, directly north of the new two-story structure being erected by them for the International Harvester company. The apartments will be modern in every respect, air conditioned and attractive living places- In view of the constant demand for modern housing quarters in this city, the owners will no doubt find ready tenants. The McConnells are investing thousands of dollars in Decatur real estate and improvements, confident that it will bring financial returns. We admire their spirit and wish them every success. From his experience as a farmer, the father of two 4-H club members and the state’s first commis.

sioner of agriculture. Lieutenantgovernor Townsend, discussed the | farm problem in an intelligent and I instructive manner the other evening. Mr. Townsend cited the advantages of the hog-corn and wheat reduction programs and how the policy of controlling production | served in increasing the price for ! the farmer's products- When the ! far me r, received cost or a little lover, he was able to buy. Alen | were employed in factories to proj duce what the farmer had been unjable to buy for several years. Mr. ! Townsend expressed the belief that • the federal government, at the request of agriculture, would carry through a modified reduction program next year. The crowd liked his talk, sensed his sincerity and interest in the farmer's problem and his desire to be of service to them through liis department. ■ o Vncl3 m J CHARLEy BY CHARLEY OftMrfT I It's a poor mule that won't work both ways.

That, in Hollywood, la regarded as a Sure sign of an eccentric person- ! ality. ! And is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer upset over the unorthodox behavior of its newest protege? Well, you guess. The funniest experience of the studio campaign workers against Upton Sinclair befell Charles Furthmann. One night, toward the end of the hectic governorship race, the scenario writer was requested to make a talk in Fresno. They introduced him ! as a motion picture author and he launched into his Merriam fight talk. It was scarcely under way. bowI ever, when a man rose in the audij ence and begged leave to ask a ques- ’ j tion. Permission given, he cried ' ; irately: “Is it true that Clark Gable takes i his wife on duck hunts?” The crowd roared. Furthmann startj ed anew, but a woman's voice called out: "What ts the low down on Jean Harlow and Bill Powell? Are they going to get married 7‘ And so it went, from question to question. Th# pay-off was when a gent j wanted to know if the studios were ■ ! going to move to Reno if Sinclair ’ wa* ejected. "Why Reno?” asked Furthmann. “Because the stars would feel at

PROCESS TAX RULE CHANCED Farmers No Longer Responsible For Payment Os Processing Tax Farmers who slaughter hogs for sale to retailers or other commercial handlers will no longer be held responsible for payment of the processing tax, under a redefinition of the term, “first domestic processing,” which has been announced by the agricultural adjustment administration. A new regulation transfers to commercial handlers all liability for payment of- the processing tax on hog products derived from hogs slaughtered by producers and feeders. Under the previous regulation, the farmer who slaughtered hogs was responsible for payment of the tax. both when he sold to commercial handlers and when he sold to consumers. However, the status of the farmer who slaughters hogs and sells direct to consumers remains unchanged. The producer who slaughters his own hogs and aells or exchanges directly to consumers not more than 300 pounds of the products derived during any marketing year is not required to pay the tax. If the producer sells more than 300 pounds but not more than 1,000 pounds of pork products from his own hogs direct to consumers he is liable for the tax only on the volume sold In excess of the 300-pound exemption. If he sells more than 1,000 pounds during nny marketing year he loses his 300-pound exemption and is liable for the tax on all products derived from his hogs which he has sold. The amount of the tax is determined upon a liveweight basis, which is arrived at by using the conversion factors prescribed in the regulations. Farmers who slaughter and sell hogs not of their oWn raising are not entitled to the 300-pound exemption. Any farmer who processes hogs for consumption by his own family, employees, or household is exempt from the paymet of tax thereupon. o | CHURCH REVIVALS | First M. E. Evangelist E. R. Lewis has promised to tell his life story tonight at the revival services now in progress at the local Methodist Episcopal church. This is one of the outstanding messages of the campaign which is now well on in the closing week. Evangelist Lewis will tell how in happened that he is one of five brothers who are today preaching the gospel and his thrilling story of God’s dealings with him and his family will never be forgotten. The official board will meet tonight at 6:30 at the church to discuss plans for conserving revival results and organiling the parish for regular work. The Booster Band meets at 7 o'clock and the revival services follow at 7:30. Last night was the red letter night thus far. A 'large delegation drove the 80 miles from Hagerstown and 38 young men and young women of the gospel band had entire charge of the service. With the frankness and courage of the truly Christian youth of this day, these young people revealed something of the social life of the average high school student, with card playing, gambling, cigarette smoking, dancing and drinking, and even worse things which could not be told, and what a change came into the life when Christ came into the heart. About thirty came forward for prayers at the conclusion of the service. Prayer mee*lngs for Thursday morning are announced for the following places: Geo. Ruckman, 1029 N. Second; Amanda Tumbleson, 318 Maple; John Rice, 215 Seventh; Mrs. H. F. Callow, 304 Fourth; E. W. Johnson, 107 North Fifth: Mrs. Leota Beery, 227 South Third; N. A. Bixler, 612 West Jefferson; J. M. Doan, 913 Russell; Business Men. Brock Apts., North Second.
