' You will gain greater happiness by giving than by any other means so far discovered. Mayor Bill Hosey of Fort Wayne I has announced he is through with the vote recount, that he never did favor it and hasn't been in sympathy with it at any time since they started. That sounds more like him, for he always was a good sport and one who could take it. Borah and Nye want to reorganize the Republican party. They will probably never accomplish it. They i will have many followers in the ■ middle west and the far west but the easterners will not go far along the left path which they propose. Charley Dawes says the depression is over and that a great pros-1 parity era will start next June and . he gives much of the credit to | President Franklin Delano Roose- [ velt which we claim is new s. Dawes always was fearless but we never expected him to get up I enough courage to boost a Demo- [ cratic administration. Even some of the big boys have learned things the past few years. There will be a lot investigating regarding the Lansing fire but that won't help much unless the legislature provides some better means of protection. After all it appears that about the best fire escape is the old fashioned rope in each room, if the Kearns had been thus oquipped, every guest would prob- ‘ ably have been able to liave slid ■ to safety. A match or cigarette' carelessly tossed into a waste bask-1 et or on a bundle of newspapers isl belied to have started the blaze, I which should make every one redouble their care in handling mat-1 ches and cigarettes. It was one of; the worst conflagrations in several years and one that will not soon be ' forgotten by the Lansing folks. PAUL H. GRAHAM: Many hearts in this community, are saddened by the death of one of the outstanding business men; of this city. Paul H. Graham, insur-j ante and loan agent, abstractor, political leader and progressive citizen. Os pleasing personality, keen in business instinct, forward looking and always loyal to his city and county, he was looked to by many for advice and assistance. Mr. Graham was a native of Monroe but Itad resided here since his return from the World War in which he won citation for gallon' corißuct, experienced life in a German prison camp from which he escaped and was honorably discharged with a record equalled by but few of the boys. He was energetic and i ntered into business with an energy that soon brought him forward. He became interested in polHies and served three terms as Republican county chairman. His last -•innearancc ou the streets of Decatur was on election day, when

though ill, he insisted ou going to the polls. As school teacher, soldier and business man he made good but his great characteristic was his love for his fellowsmen. He craved the companionship of men and wus 1 never happier than when surrounded by a crowd of his comrades or t friends. Strlcketo in the noontime • of ills life, less than forty years of age. his career cut off and his family and friends denied his com pan2 kinship, he will be greatly missed, j Our sincere sympathies are extendi ed to the bereaved family and rela--1 tlves. ' PROSPERITY ON THE FARM: The record shipment of tractors and other farm machinery, a special train of forty-seven cars from the International Harvester Company of Chicago to its branches in central Indiana, indicates what is in store for industry in this part of the world. Agriculture, along with the other activities, has curtailed purchases during the years lof thd depression. The Indiana 1 farmers have reached the point | : where they need tractors, cream j separators, stationary engines and other machinery in their business and are ready to stock up at the first indication of improved conI ditions. That trainload, the largest ever sent out by the company, and the largest single consignment of freight ever handled by the Monon railway to one shipper, was made ’ necessary by the orders already received by the Harvester company's agents and the evidences of an early spring demand. Its coming i is more than an event to the distributors and the farmers who are ■ awaiting the machinery. It is an evidence of better times that will be w-elcomed by Hoosiers in all lines of activity. Officers of the Harvester company from Chicago joined with : their representatives in a dinner ' at the Hot-el Antlers last evening ,in observance of the better out- ■ look for agriculture. As the farm is the basis of prosperity in general in Indiana, all in the state are cheered by the indications of im- : provemeut in conditions on the j farm and increased confidence on the part of the farmers. Prosperity on the farm means better times in the city, as well as to the makers I of tractors and other equipment. — Indianapolis Star. o TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY I | From the Daily Democrat File Dec. 15—Russians rout Germans 1 in Poland.

Festive Lights Brighten Home at Christmas Season ' . ~7k; ’ -rz Streamers and garlands, candles and wreath, help to build this d.splay around the attractive, indirectly lighted silhouette of the Three Wise Men.

By Jean Prentice AFTER one thousand, nine hundred and some odd merry Christmases, it was only natural that holiday cheer —not to be longer confined indoors — brimmed over outside. Some kindly soul, who wanted to share the spirit of Christmas with his neighbors, strung a number of colored lights on th<- fir tre° at his front doorstep, and within a few years little firs bad sprung up at front doors everywhere, to bloom with light at Christmas time, as if by magic. An Accepted Vogue Today, decorative lighting is the accepted vogue during the holiday season. AH too often, however, attractive decorations outside have depended upon a man’s being “handy around the house." Now. stores everywhere offer an infinite variety of electric decorative equipw,cnt. whlpb ipay be combined in countless ways with holly, mistletoe and pine boughs to brighten the

Lights Carry Cheer The wreath in the window, for instance, will carry its message of cheer farther if it is illuminated, and if you have not the time or in clinatiou to entwine a Christmas tree string of lights into the living wreath yourself, you may buy one already made up, and save yourself the trouble.

Infinite Variety Possible For the exterior of the home, doorway festoons, cardboard silhouettes, and strings of colored lights outlining the windows or entrance doorway are always in good taste, and easy to install. Floodlights concealed in shrubbery may be used with excellent effect. And it is a simple matter to place a few strings of colored, lights in small trees on the lawn. Weatherproof wire is. of course, essential to safety. The best effect is achieved when some definite pattern or decorativa scheme is planned and carefully followed, rather than a number of lights placed indiscriminately about the house and grounds. Then, regardless of the extent cf your decorations, tho effect will fee tasteful and attractive to all beholders.

CHAPTER XXVIII “You’re hating me.” Harrow said, “and I'm sorry.” “Being sorry doesn’t help it if you’re going to do a thing like that to a boy who may be innocent I’m sorry, too, Mr. Harrow, but I’m going to have to say what’s on my mind. There have been moments when I’ve liked you very much, and others when I was utterly bewildered by your conduct. What all this mysterious business of people following you is I’ve no idea. I don’t »yen know whether you’re in the right or in the wrong, but I can’t possibly see—even if it might look suspicious—what Pete Ryan could have to do with it” And then she added: “If you must know, I’ll tell you something. I went to see Pete Ryan and I asked him about it. He was crazy to have come back here but he did come back because he was in love and jealous and that’s some:hing none of us could change if we wanted to. He uao the prowler at my house that first night He’d come by to see me, or to look at me any way-—silly as that may sound and when we came up in the car he hid in the bushes. Then he tried to slip away without being seen. But it just happens that I saw him and I told you. As for his being the man you shot at the other night, he never carried a gun in his life as far as I know, and what could he have been going to do anyway? And now if you're going to treat him the way you say you are. I’m absolutely through. I’m going to find him and tell him just what you have in mind. And he'll go back to New Orleans after all. And not that it makes any difference to you, but I’ll not go on your cruise. Now, I’m sorry, but that’s the way I feel about it At least I’ve been frank.” Harrow listened patiently, no emotion visible on his face. When she had finished, he said: “Yes, you have been frank. Now, may I say something? I’ve no idea what sort of wretch you may think I am, Kay, but I can assure you that, strange as they may seem at times, my affairs are always legitimate. But I learned long ago that direct action and unemotional thinking is the only formula for dealing with scoundrels who are outside the law. It may seem that I’m unnecessarily hard, a little bitter, a little cruel, perhaps. Very veil the life I’ve led hasn’t been as sunny as yours. I’ve fought for what I’ve got and I’ve had to fight io keep it. When you get into such a position as mine you’re in danger. Did you know that? And when you’ve had the experience I’ve had and if you’ve a temperament like mine you’d rather handle your own affairs as much as possible. “Kay, to me Pete Ryan isn’t as oig as that.” He held up his thumb ind forefinger, measuring an imaginary fractional object. “But I want you to understand that I’m working to clear something up and if he seems to have any part in it, he ceases to be a worthy boy working his way up in the world as far as I am concerned He becomes an annoyance, just as a mosquito or a sand fly is an annoyance, or possinly a more dangerous one, like a small rattler. And it’s time then for me to do something about it.” “Very well,” Kay said. She turned and walked in to pack her suitcase. For she had made up her mind; she cculd be as cold and as hard, she was sure, as this cynical and apparently ruthless man from the world of hard-boiled power. Kay packed and left the boat without speaking to anyone. She carried her bags over to Beach Street and found a taxi. Arriving home, though, she felt strange. She felt somehow alienated from this old house. It was part of a past that she was digging up ghoulishly, it seemed. But she went in, went to her room and began rearranging things as she had had them before the Commander 111 nosed up to the dock such a short time ago. This might be spite or pique, she told herself, but after all it was for the best. She was leaving Earl Harrow and his circle entirely—much as she still hated to, in some ways. Earl Harrow. This would be something to tell her grandchildren, she decided with a faint smile. One of the country’s most glamorous newspaper personalities had come sailing into her life aboard a magnificent white yacht here in her own home town; he had scuqht after her, not she after him; he bed promised vaguely to carry her into his own world; and this wa« what, had happened. She had seen hint as ; a hard man—competent, sj>; ruthless, for all his charm of manner and background. Yet she could not think of him without regret for what their

friendship might have meant. It wasn't easy to pluck your mind from a dream and set it down flat upon the earth; nor was Harrow an easy man to dislike, no matter how much you wanted to. Kay shrugged, trying to change the course of her thoughts, and reflected that by tomorrow maybe the Commander would not be lying there against the blue of the river, the green of the shore, to mock her. And then it occurred to her that Pete might even at the moment be in real danger from Harrow. She hurried downstairs and went to the telephone, intending to call the chief of police, whom she knew slightly, to assure him that whatever charge might be brought against Pete would be groundless and conceived in malice. Why she balked, though, was hard to tell. She couldn’t admit to herself that she was respecting Harrow’s wish not to bring the police into his affairs. She hurried out and mounted her bicycle. She found Pete at home, surprised to see her. “Pete,” she said, “you’d better get out of town.” Pete laughed. “I know; I know. Harrow was here. He tried in his nice polite way to let me know that if I let my shadow fall on his path there might be a hole in it It’s the baloney, Kay. Somebody’s scared him and he’s suspicious of everybody. He just picked on me because he knows how I feel about you. His conscience probably.” “It’s serious, Pete. Don’t joke about it. He’s going to get you.** “Don’t be silly. He’s trying to scare me because he thinks I might bother him about you.” “No, you’re wrong,” she insisted desperately. “Try to understand me, Pete. I’ve left the yacht; I’m through with him.” Pete cocked his head and studied her with surprise. She nodded vigorously. “I have,” she insisted. “But he's after you. He doesn’t mean to do you any harm, but he’s going to have you thrown in jail until he’s well out of town. He thinks you’re partly responsible for this plot against him or whatever it is. Don’t you see?” “I’m afraid I don’t,” Pete admitted quietly. “What could he have me thrown in jail for? Breathing, in the same town with him?” “That’s just it For nothing. He’s going to make some charge against you. or have somebody make one. I don’t know. All I know is that he’s going to do it, merely because he’s been annoyed so much by these men, whoever they are, and you’re the only one he suspects that he can deal with.” “So that’s it?” Pete began to smile, a rather hard unpleasant smile that was not natural for the Pete whom Kay had known. “Pete—why don’t you go back to New Orleans tonight? Or anywhere ; only don’t stay here and let him do that. Even if you’ve done nothing, being in jail doesn’t help your reputation. It might cost you your job.” Pete nodded. “That’s so,” he agreed. “Go back to New Orleans, Pete,” she pleaded. “What are you going to do?” he asked quickly. “Get another job here if I can—and look for one in Jacksonville. If I can’t, I can always join mother and Bud up in the mountains, but first I want to establish myself if I can so as to help her rather than hinder her.” Pete seized one cf her hands. “I’m going back to New Orleans—and down to Guatemala,” he said. “I’m going to I can wait in New Orleans until they’re ready for me. There’s no danger of it’s falling through; it’e just been delayed, that’s all.” “Good, Pete. Good! That’s the only sensible—” He cut in before she had finished: “And you’re going with me!” Kay stared at him with sudden surprise. “You are.” he insisted, drawing her close to him with a violent strength. “We'll be married and yo-i’H come with me.” “But—” “But nothing. You can say you don't care enough about me. All right. I’ll take my chances on that. A couple of weeks ago I believed you. Now I don’t Else why all this rescue work in my behalf? Maybe you aren’t in love with me the way I am with you, but you care enough about me to risk your own position here and now you’ve thrown up your chances with Harrow—whatever they were—all really because of me. Don’t think I’m not ! flattered, because I am. And you’re coraiug with me—tonight!" “But—Veto— ’’ Kay said, trying to fold her voice. “I mean—we can’t Even if I wanted to. We can't. Don’t yea see T”
