The rain will probably bring a change in weather and start us on the fall and w inter schedules, when you can expect biting winds and squalls. Italy is going to raise an army of 1,200,000 men and as long as Mussolini is able to put over his philosophy that man belongs to the nation there will be recruits Seems like they are fighting for the dictator's glory. Make the Halloween celebration in this city a big coinmnnity event People like to be entertained and the day presents the opportunity for a lot of fun and amusement. As one of the writers stated. "‘Halloween is one day of the year when you can be someone else." Mask and dress up and join the crowd. “Dizzy” Dean lost caste as a sportsman when he refused to take the pitchers mound in an exhibition game at Chattanooga. Tenn., because only 300 persons turned out to see him. When informed that his share of the gate receipts would be S4O, he sulked and failed to appear. The boys from the sandlots and fans of the St. Louis pitcher also turned away in disgust. What price celebration, is the question propounded by the aver age person following the untimely death of Sidney Smith, creator of the comic strip. “Andy Gump.' The cartoonist was killed in an auto accident, near Harvard, Illinois, early Sunday morning, while returning home after signing a five-year contract for 1750,000 for his drawings. He stopped at a tavern and entertained friends and then started home, meeting a tragic death a few minutes .later. With 3,300 Daily Democrats distributed daily in the city anti Decatur trading territory, advertisers are assured of reaching nearly every prospective shopper in the community. Proof that the national advertiser recognizes the coverage of the HOME PAPER was shown last week with the number of new car advertisements carried in its columns. The result was that those who like to view the new models filled the showrooms and dealers were more than pleased with the results. WILD GAME SUPPLY: The sportsmen of the Northern States have been cautioned by the Bureau ot Biological Survey to observe the new regulations in force during the open season for shooting ducks, geese and brant. The bag will be limited to ten ducks in a day and no more than ten may be in the possession of the hunter

at one time. Shooting will be pert mitted between 7 o’clock in the morning aud 4 in the afternoon. No decoys may be used and automatic and repeating guns are pro- *’ hibited. The new rules are in ret sponse to an appeal that conservationists have made to try to t save the migratory game birds. .. The governmental agencies have t gone i»art way in currying out the plans of those who are sincerely 2 alarmed over the outlook. The J hunting season in the Northern states opens today aud doses Nov. J 19. It then continues a month and 5 until Dec. 19 in the South. That • makes two months during which y the ducks and geese may be hunted in this country, which is a much longer period than the conservationists had urged. They believe there should be practically a closed season for some time to get the supply of game back to where t it will not be threatened with extinction. The problem of preserving the migratory ducks and geese can not ‘ bo solved by localities or states. ’ It is one for national and international action. Canada is showing a willingness to do all it can to protect the ducks and geese ' that go North in the summer to nest. The number has been dwindling alarmingly in recent years. A geenration ago hunters shot ducks I and geese in both spring and fall, j ' The spring shooting was stopped! I and now the fall hunting is being ] curtailed to give the game a chance. Once the ducks and geese are gone hunting would be a thing of the past as is the killing of buffalo. Real sportsmen will do I their part by co-operating with the Federal authorities in the obser-! vance of the restrictions promul-1 gated for the present season.—lndianapolis Star. i o ♦ —♦ Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ■ - —- "■■■' - —— - 0 Q.

OBITUARY Eldred V. Shifferly was born in Adams county, Indiana, August 18. 1913. He was the son of Otis and lona Hart-Shlfferly. He was a young man of very studious and industrious habits. He received his grade school education in the St. Mary's public school, and afterwards graduated from the Pleasant Mills high school with the class of 1931. He led his class and received an award of a gold key. For several years he devoted his interests to a course in engineering by correspondence. As a result of his 4 H club work he received a trip to Purdue university. Eldred loved his home and fam ily circle. It was his delight to look after the little things, where he might save steps for his mother or relieve the heavy strain of life for father, or perchance cheer the heart of sister and brother. Even the last morning he spent at home, he arose early and went to the orchard to pick apples before leaving for the regular task in the factory. As a neighbor he was held in highest esteem. Among the young people he was admired for the high purpose of life. He stood as a peer in purity aud depth of character. As a Christian and member of the Calvary Evangelical church, his leadership was recognized, and his service was in demand everywhere. Twice his church honored him, by electing him to the office of Sunday school superintendent, which office he filled with great efficiency, only vacating it two years ago at his own urgent request to become the teacher of the Young People’s Bible class. At the time of his death, he was also

the president of the board ot stewards, and director of the church ■choir, as well as chorister of the Sunday School. Even the township Sunday Sakool Assort atlou honored him with various township offices. He was a man of clean habits, a positive conviction of what he believed to be right, coupled with a very pleasing disposition, always, in honor preferring others to himself. He was so busy doing good that he had no time for idle gossip, or evil thinking. Last Sunday night he attended the services at the First Evuugeiicai church in Decatur. after his day s work at the sugar plant. Last Thursday morning he left his home in the best of health aud a happy anticipation of a days work when suddenly the hand of fate struck its deathly blow. Thus ended a short but very useful life at the age of 22 years, one month. 29 days, leaving his now sorrow lug parents, one brother and two sisters, besides scores of distant relatives and friends.
