Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The Daily Democrat for a year as a Christmas gift would be one that would be appreciated a long time. Just a week in which to shop. You can still find just what you want, in the Decatur stores, but don't put it off. Santa will come a week from tonight either by plane or in his; sleigh, depending on the weather, according to latest bulletins. Better get that mess of quail soon. Time is up Friday, after the bst season in Indiana in years. You can still hunt rabbits until January 10th. Peace in Europe would be about the best Chrismas gift the world could receive and surely if ever it can be brought about at this time when the spirit of "Peace on earth, good will to men" prevails. Three residence properties were sold in Decatur last Saturday and at good prices, considering conditions and the fact that they were cash deals. This is a good time to buy for desirable dwellings and locations are getting difficult to secure. And talking about highway accidents. did you know that 34,500 people were killed in their homes by accidents of one kind or another last year? Perhaps a little general care in our waking hours, regardless of time or place might be good. The state highway department is taking down the "unincorporated" signs in the villages over the state because in so many cases motorists do not even slow down for these signs. All will be desig’.BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS Tl Our first fast Specie! Moil S train ron f rom ft ' New York to Chicago in 1875. i ■ days I I TO CHRISTMAS Fast mail service "was inaugural- < d in the United States on September 16, 1875. when a special five <ar train left the Grand Central tat ion. New- York City, for Chicago Four of tbs ears earned mail •iHd a "Palace" car carried officials This special most have bee* a magnificent sight. Th* mail cars were all painted white, with the words "The Fast Mail" in gilt letlorn on the side, the national coat of arms in colors above that, and th'- name of a prominent state Gov- • rnor below. These were Tilden. IMs, Todd and Morgan. The train made the run In 26 hours, cutting the former time by 12 hours.

' nated by name, without giving population or stating whether it is 1 city, town or village. Every motorist should remember • to give the right of way to cars on through streets and arterial highways, and to cars approaching from the right at ordinary street intersections. When entitled to the right of way, be absolutely sure that it is safe before going ahead. , It is better to sacrifice that right 11 than your life. I ' If every couple over sixty years I of age was to receive S4OO per month, and had to spend it, of course all the children would go home and help them spend it, wait-1 ing for their day to come, but who and how would the eight billiou dollars a year be raised. Don’t get excited over this proposal. It has a long ways to go. Our appreciation to City Engineer Martin Mylott and all others who are responsible for the Christmas decorations. They are beautiful and we have heard a number of visitors here say Decatur is the best lighted and most attractively decorated of any city, large or small, which they have visited. | These things all count. Decatur Community Sales is becoming one of the outstanding auctions in this part of the country, with weekly sales now aggregating about $7,000. That’s a big turnover and one of convenience both to buyers and sellers. Those in charge are working earnestly anii with good judgment to continue the popularity of these events. The Joe Everett trial is attract-1 ing the attention of many interested in the outcome of the case. To most of them the evidence will probably not be new as they listened to it four years ago. but a trial of this kind is all of interest and the court room will be fillea with people most of the time, watching the battle between the state and the prosecution. The average business man might not think the new securities act ’ so bad. if he knew just how to conform with it. Up to date about every scrap of information we get is different and all we know is that if we don’t keep track of the thing we will be up against a lot of trouble or somethin'. Putting into effect a new law of this proportion is a big job. After it is all smoothed out and working in apple i pie order, we will perhaps like it. The committee appointed by Chairman Fletcher of the G. 0. P. to raise the biggest campaign chest i i ever known, reports they now have over a million dollars. It is interesting to note that the first four members of this committee represent concerns whose stock have advanced from 500% to 1,000% the past three years. The combined profits of the four companies | they represent were forty million dollars more this year than the last year of the Hoover administration. Are they more concerned in national political control than in industrial sm.-cess? 0 a ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Rev. Hertry C. Powell resigns as pastor of the Bobo M E.
