Looks | like a great season with a lot of* mighty fine teams in this part or! the state. Look in the windows of the De- 1 catur stores and catch the Christ I mas spirit there evidenced. They ! are wonderfully attractive and you can select gifts for most any one you have in mind. The city will be lighted sor 1 Christmas and within another i week the decorations will be com- ’ plete. Each residence and each business house can aid in making it more attractive by adding their Christmas tree or window lighting. i_ - Join the First State Hank Christmas club. It will put your shopping for the 193 ti Christmas on a cash basis. Saving $3 a week will bring you a hundred dollars in time to do your next year’s holiday shopping early. Those who have used it for years are the best boosters. Wise business men are planning I now for 1936 and included is a sub- j stautial increase in advertising appropriations. It’ you wish to get your share of the best business in many years plan to go after it aud there is only one way to do it — ADVERTISE. We will be glad to] talk with you about your contract. Another large building is to be added at the McMillen plant, this to be an addition to the feed plant. We scarcely realize how rapidly and how splendidly this company is improving, making it one of the best concerns of its kind in the entire country, providing labor for many people and in every way adding to the community. The state highway commission gives the county assurance that road 101 is to Im* taken over, improved aud maintained, giving us another stretch of state road. that, will be appreciated and will help. The road extends front 224 east of this city through Allen county and on to the lake region and later will b* extended south to Union City. With the installation of a new turbine in the new addition to be built to the city plant. Decatur will have an installation unexcelled any where and equaled in few cities this size. We may well feel aroml of too prc-gi’esr. «£ this great institution, which now shows an

| annual earning that helps in many ways, while providing extremely low rates to our people. The Republicans are going to ■ have u tough time interesting the young voters in their conservative plans, especially with such leadership as that provided by Hoover, Watson, Fletcher and the rest. The youngsters do not want to sit still or back up. They want to go forward and the program is attractive to few except those who wish and expect jobs. The Good Fellows club has made a good record for the first week with over a hundred dollars subscribed. The money as you know will be used to bring happiness to those children who otherwise would have to just watch other | children and listen to their laughs. After all Christmas to be real must include gifts and acts of kindness to those who are not otherwise supplied. The Hauptmann case has reached a new angle and the latest news has everybody wondering again whether or not Bruno was alone in the kidnaping and murder of the famous Lindbergh baby. Governor Hoffman of New Jersey is putting out some strange predictions and seems to get his information from Ellis Parker, said to be one of the world s greatest dei tectives. Perhaps the newspaper stories on this case have just started. It lias been forty years since big ] business put on a campaign such as they are now engaged in and i will continue in until the aext elee- i ■ tion is over. And this notwithstanding the fact that we have i made the greatest progress the l>ast three years ever known under , i such conditions. Why are they’ 1 doing it? Because they cannot con-1 trol the present administration and ! get favors for which the public pays far greater than in any taxes ever assessed.

He was glad he had walked to his office. Otherwise he might not have seen the lamb. He would stop en his way home and get It. But one of the men in the office offered to drive him home, so the lamb was forgotten until he heard Polly as she was being put to bed tell her mother she hoped “Santy” wouldn't forget about the “sheep.” Ross looked at his watch and decided the shop would probably still be open. Anne called to him to ask w here he was going, and be answered, "Back in a few minutes.” When be parked his car before the shop, the thought tha' the lamb might not be there struck him for the first time. He felt much relieved. therefore, when he saw the lamb in the window. As lie tucked the package under his arm and turned to leave the shop, a little boy came in. Ross heard him ask the proprietor if be still had the lamb that was in the window that morning. He was told the gentleman just leaving had bought it. "Oh.” tlu- disappointment showed in his voice. Wasn't there sometliiug else he would like? But there didn't seem to be anything else. As he got into his ear Ross caught sight of a small boy standing before the window, his gaze fas-

Ross thought as be drove away. But probably something else would catch his fancy and he would forget all about the lamb. Children were like that. Ross wondered though if Polly would have forgotten so easily. He scarcely thought so. The poor little thing would have been mightily disappointed. He was glad be had remembered before it was too late. p.ut try as he would he couldn't get the picture of the little fellow out of his miad. Halfway home he turned his car arouud and went buck to the shop. The boy had left, so Ross asked the proprietor if he could tell him where five hoy lived. He lived just around the corner. lie often came into the shop. Tonight he had come to buy the little lamb for his small sister, and was so disappointed w hen he found It gone. The proprietor had tried to interest him in something else, but he hadn't been successful in doing it. Bess interrupted to know in just which house the boy lived. Then in order to have some satisfactory excuse to offer at home, he bought a baby doll for Polly. When somewhat later he came into the iivisg room wtwre Anne wots busy trimming the Christmas tree, she wanted to know w here on earth he had been. He shook his head and put ilia finger to his lips as a warning not to waken Poliy. He placed the package under the tree and with a happy smile he began helping w ith the work of trimming. The next morning lie was awakened by i'ollj's happy cry tliat she knew there wan a "Santy Claus'' because be had brought her a “sheep" and a baby doll just as she asked hiju to. Robs sprang out of bed aud into the living room. Where •■'Mild *hs “sheep” have couse from? For there was Polly with a lamb naffer one arm and the doll under the other. "Where'.''' Ross asked, pointing to the lamb. Anne whispered that she had bought it. "There is a Santy Claus, isn't there, Daddy?” Polly's voice implied she was giving information rather than asking fit. Ross heartily agreed with her: “There certainly is a Santa Claus beyond n doubt.” ©Wtiterii Xew&iNtD&r Uniuii.
