Do you realize that its less than two mouths until Christinas and I that it’s time to start your preparations if you would avoid that last ■week rush? Autumn business is here and the merchant who is going after his share is getting it and with the best results in years. Try an advertisement in the Daily Democrat this week. Take the sidewalks in, tie down the gate, put away the benches and machinery, for Halloween is near and the witches and spooks will whisk them away if you don’t watch out.

• —.——.———_ I Get ready for the big Halloween celebration Thursday evening. It’s going to be the best ever, if you don’t want to join the parade, you can have a good time watching those who do. The show that is being put on by Mayor Bangs of Huntington is becoming expensive and serious. No official can be bigger than the law and one of these days the very earnest mayor is likely to wake up I with a knowledge that he has acted foolishly. Keep smiling, don't lake things too seriously. After all the game of life is pretty much the same. We all have our ups fend downs, our joys and sorrows, our successes and failures. Those who keep their chins up and don't lose faith, win in the long run. The Decatur Yellow Jackets have closed another very successful football season with a record of not losing a conference game. The best that any of the other teams can do is to tie them and the boys have the right to feel mighty proud. Our congratulations to team and coach. The average person would have more faith in the supposed poll of Roosevelt sentiment, if the list of papers was not made up almost entirely of anti-administration publications- We just cah't feel its on the level, regardless of results. Put it down for just plain Republican propaganda. After all the condemnation of the AAA. it seems to have worked better than uny plan heretofore tried and up to date, no one has brought forward any thing that will even compare with it for results. It’s easy to criticize but usually difficult to execute to the satisfaction of the public. The mother of Joe Louis, renowned colored fighter, has returned to the government the money she drew on relief, a worthy ox tuple that may be fol- ' lowed by many. The average person doesu t like charity, regardless

of its source and those who call i do so, will much prefer returning the money whether obligated ao to do or not. • The average person feels that . the death of "Dutch" Schults and the other New York gangsters is a good thing, regardless of who ' caused it. The killer has no place in this country and many feel he is entitled to a dose of his own medicine. This bandit built up a i million-dollar fortune through vio--1 latious of law iu about every de- ' gree. There is uo need to waste sympathy on him or his gang. I — Now they tell us you can receive radio programs by just hook-ing-in over the telephone or electric light lines by use of a small device which lias been perfected. In several large cities a plan is being tried of furnishing excellent programs about eighteen hours a day and without advertising, at a cost of $1.50 per month. We shall soon know whether its considered worth that much not to listen to the announcers who tell the good qualities of patent medicines, ties, gasoline, tooth paste, etc. We read a partisan Republican newspaper Sunday and we were impressed with such headlines as “Stocks climb to year’s high,’’ “Industry is moving ahead," “Indiana retail stores report sales increase,” "Corporation earning's higher.” “Northern Pacific nets over $2.000,000 in September," "Staples ten per cent higher than year ago,” and many others similar. Then on the first page and in the editorials we noticed how the country has gone “to the dogs.” how the administration has failed and how we are in for a tough winter. We know r its politics but we can’t see how they make the whole thing fit together. o

The only states leading Indiana are California, New York. Washington, New Jersey, Missouri, Massachusets, Illinois. Michigan and Pennsylvania. The FHA business under both titles one and two of the national housing act ha's passed the $400,000,000 mark. Os that amount, $185,338,724 has been loaned under title one, $200,190,239 under title two, and $21,371,874 for low cost housing mortgages accepted for insurance. These figures represent private capital that has been loaned, inasmuch as the government does not loan funds under the national housing act. R. Earl Peters, state

Q CHINESE POKER' IN HOMES GETS LEGAL SANCTION Shanghai <U p) — If you are a '' Chinese and want to invite friends > I 'i to your house for an informal 1 game of Nah Jong, it’s within the ' law provided you play for small stakes. . The new Chinese criminal code. , enforcement of which has begun I reverses an earlier court ruling on , i gambling in the home. , i Under the earlier pronouncement anyone playing any game for any amount of money was liable to i criminal prosecution. The law a- ! ] roused considerable opposition a- , i mong the 'masses, to whom a tsoci- ! able game of Mah Jong is what , 1 poker is to the American business -. man. The law. accordingly, was revised to permit playing for stakes in • I the home, but the line demarcation between friendly playing and : gambling was not too clear. If the • game is played primarily for ai museinent, rather than for profit, I the act will be allowed by the law, > Exactly what determines the pri-

, mary motive of the parlor game i was not defined. Nanking, however, will continue its ban on gambling in dens, whethi er for profit or entertainment. The ■ courts, presumably, will decide when a home has become a gamb- ! ling den. o nt Modern Etiquette Bv ROBERTA LEE Q.

To intimate friends it should 'be'Martha M. Brown. Q. What is the proper length of a man's coat sleeve? , A. The sleeve should be short ( enough to expose one-quarter to one-half inch of the shirt cuff. Q. When attending a ball, or a large dance, at what hour should one arrive? A.

PLANS TO AID FARM FAMILIES Indiana Families Included In Rehabilitation Program Lafayette, Ind , Oct. 29.—{U.R>— Preparations were underway here today to care for Indiana’s share of an additional 175,000 farm fam Hies who will be brought under the rehabilitation program by the resttlement administration on Nov. 1. E. H. Shideler. state director of rural resettlement, is administering the program in Indiana, which with HTinols, lowa, Missouri, and Ohio, comprises region three. R. O. Smith, regional director of rural settlement, and Paul Maris, assistant director, rural resettlement division, Washington. D. C.. discussed the program before state executives recently. Families in drought regions and other acutely stricken agricultural areas will be given preference in administration of the additional program, it was said. These families will be provided temporarily with subsistence pending the development of rehabilitation plans by which they can be placed on a self-supporting basis. This new group of emergency rehabilitants will be added to the 350,000 farm families already on the division’s rolls, making a total of 525,000 farm families for whom individual financial programs will be worked out and to whom loans will be made to enable them to keep off relief and become permanently self-supporting. The additional 175.000 families will be assigned to resettlement by existing state relief agencies, j which will function as central up-1 plication bureaus to assign relief clients to the various federal relief agencies. The central application bureaus will assign to resettlement only those famines which are on the relief rolls which can eventally be placed on a permanent rehabilitation basis in the judgment of the resettlement administration. Selection of the fafiffTies to be given assistance will be simplified and duplications will be avoided by the central application bureaus, it was explained at the conference. The new families represent les* than half the number of farm families now on relief. Families not accepted for rehabilitation by the resettlement administration will continue to be cared for by the other state and federal agencies. RETURN OF SSO BY CAB DRIVER WINS REWARD New Haven, Conn. (U.R) —Honesty was a profitable policy for Stanley Maueavage, relief taxi driver. A fare, evidently in’ a great hurry, pressed a bill into his hand and told him to “keep the change.” Mancavage found a SSO note in his hand, realized There had been a mistake, and ran after the retreating figure. He received a $2
