These are typical November days, reminding us that the old 1 year is also nearing its end. Going up 14 miles is higher than ' mortals are supposed to climb in 1 this life, but still it is a long way ’ from Heaven. “The Republicans won a head 1 line victory but the election figures down in the dispatches put a coin , pletcly different light on the result," is the way Raymond Clapp. . political editor for the Washington Post, sums last week s election. A half dozen men were seriously: injured on the first hunting day of the season. Several were shot as' they attempted to take their guns tint of their cars. The moral is. j don’t carry a loaded gnu in your, auto.

‘ Roosevelt Is ‘slipping.’ They have not been out in the agricultural regions, where the folks know they have a great and loyal friend in ' the White House. They surely have not made much of a study ' of the despair of the stundpHt pollI icians who continue to say to one i another: “Whom have we got that can possibly beat Roosevelt?*” — Portland, Oregon, Journal. The grandson of the last Henry Cabot Lodge. Sr., is figuring on running for the U. S. senate from Massachusetts. His name will no doubt bring him much support in the Bay stale, and they say he is more or less of a liberal, compared to his grandfather. He has served in the state legislature and Iras made a study of labor and tax matters and no doubt will be a fighting candidate. Massachusetts however will probably return the Democratic senator. The name Lodge sounds too “stand pat.” Bluffton feels sure that its application for a sewage treatment works will be approved by the Wl’A and already hns adopted an ordinance calling for a bond issue of $74,000. The estimated cost of the project is $135,000, of which $61,000 will be a grant, providing Jhe proposed improvement is approved by the government. Bluffton proposes to charge the cost of its share to the water customers, liquidating the bonds over a 21year period. City officials there are endeavoring to obtain the allocation of funds made to Decatur. I which offer was rejected by the | council. In view of the robbery of a Huntington store where yeggs got away with alioul S4,WK* worth of merchandise, merchants and police are cautioned to be on their guard. In Decatur a majority of the stores ' are protected with electric alarm systems and other safeguards have been taken against a wholesale ! clean-out of the establishments. A check-up should lie made every evening that the doors and windows are locked and bolted. The police will appreciate it if a light is left burning in the stores and obstructions are removed from the windows, affording a clear view when the officers inspect the places. Inform the police about your alarm systems aud what lights should lie burning during the night. Its needless to say that robbers caught in the act of ransacking a store will be met with a hail of lead. There is much interest in this state and others concerning rural electrification. In many counties the venture is entirely new. Under the Rural Electrification setup, groups of farmers can organize a distribution line, build the lines and then purchase current from an existing utility. In Adams county the rural light program was started several years ago and at present more than 70 miles of line extend from Decatur, all served by the .Municipal plant. More lines are under construction and will be placed in service in the near future. Under the Rural electrification administration, the farmer group or cooperative pays for the entire cost of the line, from a loan made by the government, while here it has been the custom for the city plant to share a part of the construction cost. Evidently the prospective patrons prefer the local plan, as no organization has yet been made to build lines in the nearby district. — ♦- « Modern Etiquette Sy ROBERTA LEE Q.
