And now Decatur Is receiving much favorable publicity from the opening of the state’s largest soy bean plant. It's about time that Indianapolis and other cities bring up the smoke nuisance, resolving to do away with it in another year. Washington state university will I join Wisconsin and Michigan uni- ' versities in adding a marriage I course to planned study. After all , that’s practical. Every child thrills with the visit of Santa Claus. The jolly old fellow will be in Decatur Saturday afternoon, so give the children the opportunity to see hint. Executives of manufacturing concerns have written to officers of the Chamber of Commerce relative to locating plants in this city. In a good many cases the owners wish concessions, such as free rent, no taxes and other grants. The applicants are being investigated and no first rate outfit will be turned down. The government’s great housing campaign is beginning to show results. Construction touched bottom in 1933. when, dining an average four weeks, only $18,000,000 was spent, as compared with $59.000,000 during a similar period in 1931. The new campaign started in the middle of August, and in tile four weeks following $19,000,000 was spent. In the four weeks ending October 13, $£3,000,000 went into homes, and $36,000,000 was silent during the four weeks which closed on November 10. We believe the public in general is interested in its home paper, because of its relationship to community interests and the place it holds iu the average home. Each evening a score of young Americans deliver to the homes and stores in this city 1.271 copies of the Daily Democrat- In addition to this delivery approximately 90 papers are sold over the counter or called for at this office by regular subscribers.

est estimate of the number of homes placed at 1,200, the circulation of the HOME PAPER is greater than the number of houses. ’. In the local trading territory, more than 2,800 papers are distributed daily, a few hundred going outside 1 of the 25-mlle radius. We feel that this guarantee of reaching the t homes in this city and community ’ at very small cost to advertisers is a medium that cannot be overlooked by the prudent and aggress- ■ ive merchant. I , I INDIANA’S YOUTHFUL 1 FARMERS; Young Hoosier farmers and i ’’farmerettes" are taking their usual share of honors at the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. The winning tradition has become so well established that prizes in major competition seem the natural reward of youthful skill and perseverance on the part of the Indiana boys and girls in 4H club activities and similar projects. They are following the precedent set by the group of Hoosier farmers who have set up a strong dynasty of corn "kings." Lester Schultz of Buck Creek. Tippecanoe county, won national honors over almost a half million competitors in the 4-H club corn project contest. The 17-y ear-old youth was rewarded for his prowess with a S4OO scholarship and a herd of purebred Aberdeen-Angus cattle- Floyd S. Amsler of Rensselaer was declared the national I boy leadership champion of the ' 4-H clubs, for which he received a I silver trophy. Miss Mary E. Wien. 17 years old, j of Lafayette, upheld the prestige of Hoosierdom’s feminine contingent by winning the title of national girl champion iu the 4-H club achievement contest. She previously had won the district and state honors iu cooking, canning and sewing and also had cared for a flock of 300 fowl. Several other boys and girls from Indiana were awarded prizes at the live stock exposition. All of them are entitled to warmest congratulations for the successful fruition of their labors. Older folk who seem to be worrying continually about modern youth should feel no concern ovet the future of these boys and girls. Without yielding youth's natural love for good fun, they have already formed a serious purpose in life and have experienced the gratification of achievement. Another Hoosier just emerging from his teens has joined the honor list, according to word from Purdue University- Harold Pankop. 29, of Dekalb county, produced 182.6 bushels of corn an acre on a Jve-acre tract of muck land. That breaks all existing records on a field basis and entitles him to a claim on the 1934 national corngrowing championship. He was runner-up in last year’s contest and belongs to a family of corn prize winners. There is likely to be no serious farm problem so far as the efforts of all these young and am-1 bilious Hoosiers are concerned. — Indianapolis Star. 0 * _ TWENTY _ YEARS* AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Dee. 5 — Lieut-Governor W.
