Wish the other fellow a Happy New Year. It will cheer him and can’t hurt you a bit. Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. The price is $3 by mail, in the first zone, less than a penny a day. Old 1934 is passing out and we will soon start a clean new page. We hope and believe that 1935 will ■he the best year in a long time. ! The Hauptmann trial will begin next Thursday and for the next fortnight, the Lindbergh tragedy, with all its sickening details, will he re-read and talked. It will be watched with interest by millions all over the world. The cold waves are taking many lives as they come and go and we really haven't had a stiff one yet. When we get down to ten or fifteen below, there is sure to be great suffering. Perhaps if we try we can prevent some of it. Sherman Minton is in Washington all ready to receive his senatorial position and his good judgment is shown in the modesty with which he begins his duties. He is not going to try to change every thing and will first learn how to get about. The automobile manufacturers are all planning for a great year. It is expected that millions who have made the old ’2B or ’29 car do, will feel they are far enough along the right road to prosperity, to invest in a new one. Any way all the big boys in the game are anticipating a great sales increase over last year. I The Reppert Auction School is off to a good start with thirty-two students hard at it, preparing as super salesmen. They will gain much knowledge in the three weeks of their intensive training. Decatur welcomes each and every one of these optimistic and future building men. We hope each will make good and he will if he devotes himself as told by Colonel Reppert and his assistants. Clarence Darrow who doesn’t believe any thing he can't see and feel, says its all bunk about times being better and predicts dark and dreary days ahead with the mass born poor and destitute continuing on through that way with a few people controlling the wealth. Now all you folks who want to believe that, may do so, but we prefer to stay young and to believe there is a bright day ahead. We know conditions generally are better than a year ago and we have much faith in the future. The serious add painful accident in which little Joe Deininger was a victim should maJse every youngster be more than careful if they must play with sleds upon the streets. Hooking on behind cars is dangerous and the wonder is iiiat more accidents have net cc-

curred. We want every boy to use that new Christmas sled and to have a lot of fun and we hope he finds a safe place along the river banks or on some old hill where he can coast and dive in the snow banks and be a regular fellow but we just can’t agree that he should be permitted to hook his sled on | behind an automobile. In his speech the day before I Christmas Mr. Roosevelt’s citation | of Andrew Jackson as “the embodiment of courage” inevitably, without intention on his part, suggested his own most striking quality. Jackson's patriotism, chivalrous spirit, love of the people, are Mr. Roosevelt’s also. A recent biographer who holds that Jackson was essentially an aristocrat, not a man of the people, brings forward another resemblance between the two illustrious Democrats. In manners, as even his political adversaries had to admit, Jackson was most courtly. He was domestic, fond of children, faithful to his friends.—New York Times. It is thirty-two years since we printed the first copy of the Daily Democrat and we are now opening our thirty-third campaign for renewal of mail subscriptions. It has been a long and interesting third of a century during which our big family of readers — now totaling about 3,500 —have remained steadfast and loyal. We now enter the year 1935 with indications that the news will be even more startling and exciting. We will tell you about legislature, congress, the war steps of Europe, give you court news and social events, all the happenings here and elsewhere that we can get together. We hope you want to continue the paper and will send in your renewal at once. o

Making the Home More Livable The Christmas Fireside Brings a Bedside Gift j? - ' / ■**

They say that the lower i edge of the shade of a bedside lamp should be level with the eyes of the reader sitting erect tn bed This correct height Is all-lmpor-allows a sufficient spread of light over your book and makes i It possible to have the sufficiently bright light needed for reading. l k The lamp la the larger sketch Is

; Baby Boasts Tooth at Eight Days Manhattan. Kan. —(U.R) —Parents of Harold Dean Perry are holding him up with his mouth open so admirers can see the tooth which the eight-day-old lad cut recently. Generally, seven to eight months is required to cut the first tooth, but babies have been born with teeth, doctors say.

made according to the design of the Illuminating Engineering Society It has a shade 16 Inches wide at the lower edge and Is therefore not too large for a bedside table about 30 inches high, of ample proportions and not miserly as to stout legs and wide top A small night table simply wouldn’t do at all' The lamp uses a 100-watt bulb in a white glass bowl in the shade to give marvelous lighting upward* and downwards Wall Type Nice. Too Another gift Idea is a lamp like that illustrated at the top of the panel It's as easily hung as a picture and should be placed above the bed. about four and a half feet from floor to center of shade. The lamp calls for a 75 watt bulb and gives fine lighting with a good spread of Illumination and no glare Below this is Illustrated a table type Such a lamp should be about 20 Inches high, preferably having two sockets, and with a shade about 14 inches wide at lower edge For soft decorative lighting the 40-watt bulb in the lamp may be used, but for reading both the 40 and a 60watt bulb should be lighted Height us a bedside lamp should of course fit In with the height ot the table. A higher lamp if the table Is low, and vice versa Some table lamps come with adjustable stems so ‘hat the shade may be lowered or raised (but never tilted).
