Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Too bad the last legislature didn't change ground hog day to November. “She carries mercy in your name,” is the title of a Red Cross placard. Your membership enables this great charitable organization to function in time of disaster. Repair the sidewalks and remove the unsafe cellar grates in the interest of public safety. Weather conditions still permit the pouring of concrete and under the WPA plan the cost is small to the property owner. George Ade, famed Hoosier humorist is enjoying life at 70. He still does a little writing, main tains a sense of humor and when the weather gets bad packs up and goes to Florida. Such are the rewards of genius. Local merchants are getting their stores ready for the holidays and withtin a short time will announce the opening of the shopping events. If a citywide event could be staged, we are sure it would be successful to merchant and appreciated by Mr. and Mrs.' Shopper. Tuesday's downpour should clear the atmosphere and give the sun a chance to peep through. It’s not unusual to have a stretch of dismal weather at this time of year and since we have lived through drouths and the 1918 winter, we should survive the present wet and cloudy period. Among other towns that will celebrate their Centennial in 1936 is Cleveland. Plans are underway to stage a great industrial exposition along the lake front and to advertise to the world that the city lived through the first one hundred years. Plans for Decatur's big birthday party should be taking shape. - .. There isn’t anything wrong with the city’s water supply. True, the water may be a little off color at the Homestead, but that is due to the new mains. When the coating in the pipes becomes set, the trouble will vanish. The source of supply for the Homestead is the sane as that furnished to other parts of town and a weekly test is made by the State Board of Health and no foreign matter has ever been found. Postmaster Macklin urges early mailing of Christmas parcels. Additional help will be employed in the local office to aid in the quick dispatch of mail and with the cooperation of the public the task can be made easy and no disap-1 pointments will arise over delays. Postal employes and carriers are glad to aid you in your problems and by looking after these duties ahead of Christmas, you’ll enjoy more peace of mind on the great feast day. It should be only a one day’s job'

| to raise the money for the Boy Scout budget. Conditions in this I city are prosperous, men are working, stores are doing business and factories are running steadily. Such is the picture. Youth is the greatest asset in the Community and a few dollars donated to the cause of building manhood is the best investment you can make. I We are not bothered with many | drives or campaigns for funds and 1 the Boy Scout cause should be easily subscribed. Ix't’s make it snappy. Members of thte Masonic lodge and the Eastern Star formally dedicated their new lodge and club ‘ rooms last evening. It was a happy event and the feeling which comes with possession of a newly furnished and commodious home was prevalent among the members. Attended by men prominent in Masonic circles, talks of Interest were given by Rev. Frank Rupnow, D. ; Burns Douglas and others. The dedication of the new temple is another mile stone of progress in civic endeavor and fraternal achievement. = ffThe hospitality and “good neighbor" spirit of Dale W. McMillen and his associates was again demonstrated here today when about 400 feed dealers from several states came as guests of the McMillen Feed Mills. Everyone in this community realizes that Mr. McMillen is proud of the great industrial lay-out in the north part of town and he has a righff to feel i that way. Decatur is equally as I proud and is happy to be the host ! : city to hundreds of visitors who ■ come to town to see the industrial, plants and become acquainted with those who man the organizations. Col. Frank Knox, wealthy Chicago newspaper publisher and I prospective candidate for the Rej publican presidential nomination, believes all the troubles of the 1 country and the running of the great American government can I be solved with his four-point program. It sounds simple enough, but if the able and esteemed publisher were placed in the presil dent's chair he would find that it was easier to write out theories I than acting in every day events required by the executive. President Roosevelt saved the country from ruin and his program is bringing benefits to all. o *— ♦ « Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. ♦ ♦ 1.
