YOUR LAST CHANCE This week marks the final opportunity for members of the Democrat’s Christmas Club to cash in the greatest number of credits on each subscription. Next week it will take FOUR subscriptions to count as many credits as ONE will count this week, as credit values take their greatest drop after Saturday night. This week 180,000 rredits will be given on each and everv S3O worth of subscriptions. After this week there will be no further extra credits on S3O clubs. FAIR WARNING IS HEREBY GIVEN. ever Again Will They Count As Much! The member who has uncollected promises and unseen prospects should see them all this week, working at night if necessary to find prospects at home. The little extra effort that results in a few additional subscriptions this may very easily be the deciding factor w hen the credits are tabulated by the judges at the end of the campaign. The members who loaf a single minute this week will have no one but themselves to blame if they come out at the small end. This Week May Decide Who Are The Winners!

The Decatur reports are very incomplete today. No reports have been received from outside of the city. From the city 125 subscriptions have been turned in amounting to >225. None of the three divisions in the city is complete. A few cap tains have turned in complete or nearly complete reports. Several of the city's industries have not yet been canvassed. Berne, Geneva, and the other small towns and the county women organizations have accounted for about half of the total drive each year. If they do as well this year it is believed that the committee can report a successful roll call for 1935. The canvassers will conclude their drive Thanksgiving afternoon and evening.

Hollis were fatally wounded. The murderous reappearance of Nelson, who dropped from sight after the slaying of Dillinger in a Chicago alley last August, brought bloody vengeance for the killing of two of' his henchmen. The killing of Dillinger was followed by the killing of Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd in a cornfield near East Liverpool, 0., a month ago. Hollis, it was reported today, actually fired the bullet which ended Dillinger's reign of terror but at department of justice headquarters there was no confirmation of this. Another report was that Cowley killed both Dillinger and Floyd. The search, mustering the government's ace agents, appeared to be leading toward the isolated ‘scene of Baby Face's first killing of a federal operative. W. Carter Baum was slain when the government's “Dillinger patrol" ambushed Dillinger, Nelson, two other gangsters and three women at Little Bohemia resort. Auto Is Found A department of justice automobile in which George (Baby Face) Nelson and two companions fled after killing two federal 1 agents was found in a North Shore suburb today, its front seat caked with blood. Tlie car, riddled with bullet holes and its gas tank empty, indicated that one of the fleeing occupants had been badly wounded. Tlie abandoned automobile was found near Winnetka, only about Free Turkey Tonight Wed. Sunset Dance.

An inquest was begun into tlie deaths of Hollis and Cowley, both members of the federal Dillinger detail wnicli sent John Dillinger and Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd to their deaths. Squads of federal officers, resolved to shoot Nelson on sight, believed lie abandoned the government ear at Winnetka after it ran out of gas and that lie and his companions are attempting to reach an isolated hideaway in the northern Wisconsin woods. Juries Report Separate verdicts of death by reason of gunshot wounds were returned by coroners’ juries today in the cases of Samuel P. Cowley and Herman E Hollis, federal agents killed by the machine gun bullets of George (Baby Face) Nelson. Th<> jury holding an inquest into Hollis' deatli appended a note of indignation to its verdict recommending alliance of all government. state, county and local authorities in an effort to catch Nelson and his unknown companion. Refuses To Testify P. W. Sherman, a witness to tlie machine gun slaying of two federal agents by George (Baby Face) Nelson, refused to testify before a coroner's inquest today "because the government men told me not to say anything”. Previously Melvin 11. Purvis, chief of the federal bureau of investigation headquarters here, had sought to have the inquest postponed. “I don't care about the federal government; I want your testimony," deputy county coroner Don Butler told Sherman. Sherman continued his refusal to testify. Mrs. Frances Kramer, operator of a filling station on tlie outskirts of Barrington, 111., where tlie gyn battle took place late yesterday, testified Nelson and his companion fired a volley of machine gun bullets into the body of Herman E. Hollis as he lav dying in a ditch. The gangsters then turned their weapon upon Samuel P. Cowley, ace agent of the government's Dillinger squad, wounding him fatally.

La„ Nov. 28. — (U.R) Inspired by circulars and impromptu speeches, a spirit of “revolt" surged at Louisiana State ' university today following suspension of 26 journalism students.

IT. student paper. 1 While Dr. James Monroe Smith, president of the university, threatened other suspensions unless the revolt is brought to an end. studets planned a rally to protest against “faculty tyranny.” Meanwhile the editorial rooms of the suspended student paper remained idle while the press room door bore the following note: . “Defunctus—By order of Huey, ■ tlie State, the God." Senator Huey P. Long, whose objection to student criticism caused the blow-off, said, “I never 1 interfered with the faculty there 1 when I was governor when they expelled some of my own good friends, and 1 ain't a gonna interfere now.” Sam Montague, journalism student of New Orleans, elected president of a hastily formed “Students of the School of Journalism” ■ an organization to protest the “placing of a faculty gag on student activities," was one of the 2(1 suspended. In ordering the suspensions, Dr. Smith charged the students witli gross-disrespect in giving to the press a petition addressed to the president and the faculty committee on student publications asking for the reinstatement of the Reveille staff before the petition had been presented to the president of the university.
