Jim Crow in the Indianapolis Star says. “The pessimist kicks on taxes and the optimist is glad he has something on which to pay.” I The condition of St. Mary s river: was helped by the recent rain and j most of the trouble from the stag ! uant stream passed with the showrr. • Another good downpour would be appreciated. Is it dangerous to save? That; question is asked following action taken by the employers of a New York man who died and left a fortune of $133,000. The employe ■ earned only S4O a week and his former employers think something is wrong or he couldn't have put away that much. The employe i probably worked while his bosses slept, jealousy being the cause of action now. Beginning next March the city of Chicago will operate on eastern time throughout (Tie year. The council adopted an ordinance establishing fast time next spring ■ and unless the courts rule it un-1 constitutional, inhabitants of the; Windy City will be in line with | those who live in Detroit, except l in the summer time, when states ■ east of the Indiana line operate on daylight saving time. The “ower of advertising is well demonstrated in the remarkable| record made by the Coca Cola' company. The bringing back of beer did not curtail the company in the least, but set the sales and j advertising managers to work. More money was spent for adver- ■ tising, with the result that 1935 profits will be among the greatest ever. The soft drink concern showed a net of more than five million for the last quarter. The Democrats won again 'in Berne and Monroe, while the Re-1 publicans re-elected its ticket inl Geneva, from which results no one will attempt to interpret any significance as to the Roosevelt administration or the New Deal. The election in the first ward in Geneva was the closest contest, Alvin H. Windmiller winning over Fred Lindsey, Democrat, by only two votes. The voting was near normal in size and the contests r> * WILL ROGERS MEMORIAL FUND Local Committee for Decatur, Ind. Date —..

Lust [ Sunday in the general plebiscite 1 the Greeks voted 95 per cent for the return of former King George.: Os a million and half votes, only| 32,(100 were cast in opposition. i Greece is the first country to recall its king since most of them] tell during and after the World War. At least he starts with nearly every person in favor of his reign, but a mismove might change the picture in a few years. THE FIRST DECADE: The Berne Review, established! ten years ago deserves triple con-1 gratulations. Felicitations are ex- ' tended on the completion of its I decade in the weekly newspaper field, the service it has rendered, ' its community during this period• ! and on the wonderful supplement l I published by the paper in obser-i . vance of the anniversary. In October. 1925, C. H. "Christy''. Muselman, founded and began publishing the Berne Review. It has ■ made a gallant fight and today is one of the militant and progress- * ive semi-weeklies in the state, i ! Great credit is due Mr. Muselman for his untiring efforts in carrying the paper through the years and I for the service it has rendered | subscriber and community. The 80-page supplement, “The Progress of a Decade Issue,’" is ; something novel and new in pub-: • lishing a vivid and interesting story of the town.'its churches,! schools, industries, together with l 1 items concerning individuals and enterprise in general, it is a real I I piece of work, well edited. artiS-1 tically compiled and an achievement that only a zest for one's profession, hard work and diligent effort brings about. Highly honored with a congratulatory letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, published on page six of the’Wlition. the Berne Review, its editor and founder has a ! right to feel proud of its. achievements and carries with it the conj gratulations of fellow publishers ! and the wish for continued suc- ‘ cess and service. o i *TWENTYYEARS ] AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrax File November 7, 1915. was Sunday. o_ NOTICE I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife, Helen ■' : L.

RESOLUTION Whereas: Death has parted the 1 portals of our chapter and enteri ing. an unwelcome guest has taken I from our defending circle our coj worker. ■Whereas: Co-worker, Grace Martz, was our friend in fraternity, our co-worker in all good j works, and a faithful, and loyal j co-worker. Therefore: Be it resolved, that to her family and immediate ! home circle we express our belief in the worthiness of her life, the uprightness.of her cjyiracter and i her genuine love for her co- | workers. Resolved further: That in the ' death of our co-worker, this chapter loses a firm and a faithful : member, her family a devoted and j loving mother and a generous and helpful worker. She served well here: she will live well in the hereafter. Adopted this fourth day of November in the year of our Lord, j nineteen hundred thirty-five. Tell the fainting soul in the weary form There is a world of the purest bliss That is linked, as the soul and , form are linked By a covered bridge with this. To reach the realm, on the other shore We must pass through a transient gloom; We must walk, unseen, unhelped and alone Through that covered bridge—the tomb. But we all pass over on equal terms. For the universal toil Is the outer garb, which the hand of God Has flung around the soul. Tho' the eye is dim and the bridge is dark And the river j; spans is wide Yet “faith” points through to a shining mount That looms on the other side. To enable our feet in the next I days march To climb up that golden ridge. We must all lie down for one night's rest. Inside of the Covered Bridge.

Returns from 771 pretincts gave 75,828 for repeal and fi2.775 against. Voters also sided with the new deal in instructing the legislature to enact old age pensions. Returns from 73" precincts gave 110,110 for and 13,601 against. Democrats apparently succeeded in carrying all major offices. For j lieutenant governor Keene Johnson, Richmond publisher, had 98,927 votes from 733 precincts while I J. J. Kavanaugh, Republican, had 73,939. The colorful campaign tactics of Chandler were held responsible for a large share of the record-break-ing vote. The 37-year old lieutenant governor, an able orator of the Huey Long type, rode through the countryside in a sound truck topped by a slapping red rooster. Swope, an aristocrat jurist of the Blue grass country, conducted a more quiet campaign and did not discuss national issues. Bffui candidates denounced the state sales tax enacted by the Laffoon administration. It was Chandler's denunciation of the tax that estrang- :
ed laffoon with whom he campaigned four years ago. Chandler was running ahead oi’ Laffoon’s totals of four years ago in all precincts compared. Laftoon's 72,062 majority in 1931 was a record for the state since reconstruction days but Chandler apparently will set a new record when final votes are tabulated. In ac cordahce with state law tabulation did not start until yesterday and all votes will not be in until later in the week. —o Fake Indian Relics Appear Montreal — (UP) — The antique market here is suffering from an young MOTHERS to b t,me ' j us d > y rub on * J I
