We are nearing the time when it would be wise for the turkey to play 'possum. When the child of the 94 year old New York man grows up he should have the right to refer to his parent as “the old man.” Each year the Callithumpian parade grows bigger and better. In '36 it will be a Centennial year so look out for the grandest of all. The boys in and around Decatur are gentlemen and believe in act- ; ing that way on Halloween. Tbeyj had their fun, played their prauks, i but did not destroy or damage pro-j perty and have the thanks of pol-j ice officers and citizens for their' fine spirit and cooperation. Oliver S. Hanna, pioneer and i ♦ prominent citizen of Fort Wayne and donor of Hanna-Nuttman park west of Decatur is dead. He was a' public spirited citizen, a leader in civic affairs and business circles.' To him the community and especially the lovers of the park area he donated to the city will always be indebted. The community sale at the Riv-i erside barns yesterday attracted another large crowd and buying, was heavy. The sales establish a i market for the farmer who wants to buy and those who want to sell | and also bring additional shoppers. to the stores. They serve a good; purpose all the way around and contribute to the expansion and importance of the Decatur market. We're not disputing the need ofa sewage treatment works in this city and believe that the time will come when most communities enjoy such adjuncts in the interest I of public health. Also, we don't' believe Fort Wayne's sewage is any "sweeter’’ or better carp food' than the brand they accuse their southern neighbors of dumping in-1 to the river. — t An article on the Farm I’age in yesterday's issue of the Daily) Democrat recalled the old days when Decatur was one of the leading horse sale markets between Pittsburg and St. Louis. Twenty: fine geldings were sold this week' to the park board in Allcghency, I Pennsylvania, the deal being made by E. J. Ahr of this city The horses brought a good price and will serve to advertise Adams county as still being a leading horse market. The retail district will not look the same when the Yager Brothers furniture sign is taken down and the firm quits business. For 79 years a furniture store has been, located in the building bearing the family's name, being established by the late Leopold Yager, a pion-, eer in the cabinet and furniture business. The store enjoyed a wide’ patronage through the years and was always numbered among the leading retail establishments in the city.

i Something is always happening that makes you sick at heart. The accident which befell George Hill, faithful employe of the city street I department causes sorrow among | his friends and associates. Mr. Hill never shirked from performing the various tasks assigned him and you could always depend ou him doing them well. His condition is still serious, although hope is extended for his recovery and it is the wish of everyone that he wins in his tight for health. ARMISTICE DAY Seventeen years ago, on the : eleventh of November, 1918, the whole world went mad with joy i because an armistice had been signed which had hushed the cannon's roar of the World War. People everywhere were delirious with happiness in the relief which had <-ome from the awful strain under which they had suffered so long. They fell upon their knees and ; thanked God that peace had come ' at last. Ever since that first Armistice Day. its anniversaries have been quite generally celebrated ia Ami erica. And whatever patriotic fervor may have attended them and however much they have been made the occasions for prideful, even boastful, declarations, they I have always been designed as peace celebrations; and have been marked by a spirit of devout thankfulness that the blessings of peace have continued to rest upon us as i a nation. They have been intended to encourage the high purpose to retain those blessings as a continuing heritage to our people. This year there is more reason ; than usual for the anniversary to I be observed in that spirit. As this ' is written, events are impending which may again draw a number ’ of countries into a terrible con--1 Diet. When it comes to the hands ' of the readers, actual hostilities I may have begun; although international agencies are yet striving : to prevent such a catastrophe. The sentiment of the American people, definitely expressed by Congressional action, is against permitting our country to be drawn I into the threatened conflict. But ! there is always danger that the conflagration of war may spread 1 beyond control and that incidents may inflame popular passion and I lead to involvements not originally intended. The celebrations of Armistice Day this year may well be planned with a view to strengthening the purpose of our people to remain at peace with all the world, and to encourage a spirit of patience and I calmness that will tend to preserve . America's neutrality whatever other nations may become embroiled . in war.—Elk's Magazine. ♦ ♦ Answers To Test Questions i Below are the answers to the ] Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

DISPELLING THE FOG By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity. Democratic National Committee

Political campaigns follow a patThe pending one shows no variation. Inevitably, at some: stage, the Outs accuse the Ins of, violation of platform pledges. So! just now the theme song of the Republicans—genuine or synthetic; —is that President Roosevelt went back on his pledge on the money; Question. Because he subscribed to | the doctrine of a sound currency, and later on took us off the gold standard, and changed the gold content of the dollar, he is accused of faithlessness and inconsistency. The incident that the American dollar is the soundest unit and most stable of value in the world today, and that our Government : bonds are above par, is ignored, j Even my old campaign colleague.! and later chief in the NRA, Gen.l Hugh Johnson, records, more in! sorrow than in anger that, the otherwise perfect NRA was wreck-; ed “by the fiscal heresy and the ! currency-tinkering experiment.” Now I am the last person in the ; world who w'ould charge our lov- I able volcano with insincerity, but I an inconvenient memory sends me back a little over a year. The Gen- j eral delivered a great speech at the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago in August last, year. He did say then: “The charged debasement of the currency is a joke. Nobody knows what makes the value of money.” He elaborated on that theme: "Why should anybody fear the President’s current management? Who saw to it that our gold reserve remained plethoric* Who took the steps that facilitated our exports and controlled our imports to afaavorable trade balance* Who refused to forego one jot or title of our creditor position? Who insisted that our regular budget remain within balance? The President did all these things, against every urging and assault. We can trust that canny, cool, quiet mind and that courteous but immovable Dutch stubbornness. The ‘Roosevelt dollar' will remain the best money in the world as long as he sits in that, chair, in spite of all the theorists and doetrinairies this side of the Scilly islands.” Mr. Kent's Imperturable Neutrality Quite naturally, the Republicans made much of the General's recent magazine article in which he. in effect, set forth that all of the New Deal, except that of which he had charge, had gone awry. This statement is not entirely correct, for he included Joe Kennedy?’ administration of the Securities Commission among the virtues. Not only did the Republican National Committee issue the critical parts of it as a campaign docuI meat, but Mr. Frank Kent, that un- , biased recorder of the Roosevelt I administration's misdeeds, became aluiost lyrical in his appreciation ' of General Johnson’s new tangent. ; I mention Mr. Kent’s unbiased at- | tilude. because he is thoroughly neutral as among the administra-

, tion's acts. They are all bound to be wrong, because they are Roose- ! velt's. And there the inconvenient memi ory manifests itself again, aud reminds us that a year ago Mr. Kent | was daily grilling the man whose j criticisms he so jubilantly ap- . plauds. j “Those,’’ said Mr. Kent a year ago, “who find offensive the temper and intolerance at times displayed by General Johnson, who are bored 'by his lurid adjectives and view with impatience his truculent heroics, should make certain ' allowances and not judge him too harshly.” Then he went on to explain that the publicity the General had received had gone to his head. Another source of delight to Mr. Kent is the General's denunciation ;of the “brain trusters.” These, wrote the Ex-NRA Chief, were re-; sponsible for freezing operations j in the investment market by their i "obscure and threatening attitude" ; , while they were drafting Securi- ■ | ties and Exchange legislation. In fact, according to the General, they i were able to make their "starry-' eyed or fiery-eyed” idealism effective all through the emergency' establishments except the NRA.' which was naturally kept inviolate of them by the General. The Brain and the Trust And yet, it seems to me, that in a speech at Nashville on June 21. 1934, General Johnson discussed the Brain Trust, and said; "You take a couple of college professors , of standing and mix them with maybe two hard business men and then sprinkle them with a garnishment of practical politicians and you have fierhaps the ideal dish." And later on in the same speech he said: “Whatever Brain Trust Franklin Roosevelt maintains is going to be a trust of the brains of a cross segment of the whole United States. There will he professors; there for reasons already stated ■ but nobody will dominate. I would like to see anybody dominate that , man. Behind the sweetest aud most ! considerate manner of any man I 1 know is a determined courage coming from a long line of Dutch an- - cestry that makes him the indivi--1 dual master of any decision. There is a Brain Trust in Washington al 1 right but the Brain is the brain of • Franklin Roosevelt and the Trust [ is the faith of Franklin Iloosev . is the faith of the whole American • People which—believe me—is well . placed.’’ He reverted to the topic two mouths later, and after talking about the men in the Government, 1 he said: "It doe« not io®k like an academic layout to me. It looks - like a cross section of leaders in t American life and that is wbat it • ought to be.” 1 Deletion from Campaign Document It may be noted that General . Johnson, despite his objection to a lot of things and a lot of Govern - meat officials, insists that what he

calls the “mess" can only be cleared up "under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt as the single I' effective exponent of the policy of 11 do-something as against all the ex-:: ponents of the policy of do-noth-, 1 ing.” That tenet of the General's I creed, of course, fails of mention by the Republican National Com- i > mittee. The Gen. ral says that he is now I merely a private citizen whose vo ■ cation is that of a columnist for newspapers and free-lancing for the magazines. As such, he naturally picks his market for his wares. It is not very probable that the Saturday Evening Post would have been eager to buy the General s story if his views as to the Brain . Trust and various branches of the Government were still in accord I with his 1934 speeches. As a fellow columnist, 1 must congratulate the new’ recruit to the ranks of columnists ou the happy coincidence of his presentday opinions with the magazine's desire for such material. — q | Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee *— —♦ Fruit Pudding When warming over a fruit pudding which has already been steamed, place it In the top part of a double boiler and set it in boiling water for about thirty minutes.
