The Daily Democrat by mail a whole year for three dollars in ad-’ vance. You can’t afford to be withut it. Unless you have your 1936 license tags on your car by New Years Day, you are subject to arrest and the additional costs which that brings you. Don’t put it off any longer. The first cold wave of the season —and it was an old fashioned one—was appreciated most, because of the shortness of its dur- j ation. It broke on Christmas day and continued in high until Saturday morning. Start the new year by resolving that you will be as generous and helpful to others as you can. That not only helps them but you will > be surprised how much better you will do for yourself and how much happier you will be. County Audtor John Tyndall is now engaged in distributing the 3208,000 collected by the county, treasurer during the fall. That’s! a big job and of course a mighty important one, for this money helps 1 to operate each department of government Coming soon will be important supreme court decisions, conven-, tions and primaries a d elections,’ congress, a special session of the j legislature, cases in court, social, events, the days happenings and all of these will be covered in the Daily Democrat. Renew now. City officials will go to Indianapolis next week to present the petition for a reduction of power rates in Decatur, a worthy effort for a good cause. The local plant is progressing in every way, build-, ing as good equipment as can be i found any where, taking care of 1 every one’s needs and constantly reducing the cost to the consumer. The Old Adams County Bank | and the People’s Loan and Trust Company each has several good properties, farm and city, for sale and these can be purchased at a bargain. This is a splendid opportunity for those who wish to make safe and sure investments, that in due time will double in value and in the meantime bring in a return on the money. Young Caleb Milne wanted publicity and he got it. He kidnaped himself and after a several days hunt, was found bound and gaged in a ditch along a highway. Now he has confessed and is getting plenty of newspaper space, but it is doubtful if it will help him as an actor or story writer. After all, the only fame that is worth while is that which is earned. The Citizens Telephone Couipafty is putting otil its 1935 directories, showing a much larger number of

patrons than a year ago and in dicating that they are keeping j right up to the front in giving service and takiug care of those who tiud telephones a useful and neces- '• sary adjunct. We are proud of the t Citizens uud the service it gives at such reasonable rates. ' Samuel lusull proposes to build i back a fortune in a new field, that of a broadcasting radio station. i Perhaps he will tell the spectacular > story of his own life, which would ' be interesting ineeded. especially i ( I to those who backed him in the > days when he was reputed to be worth a third of a billion dollars. The big thing about it “is that even at his age, about 75. he still has the will and the hope of a youngster. Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. Each year at this time we make a sixty-day effort to have every subscriber renew and we are hoping this year’s campaign ‘ along this line will be as successful as have those of the past. | There is no reason why it : shouldn’t. We are entering upon a big year—l936—predicted by Rog- i er Babson and all other author- j ' ities. to be the best in a decade, j . You will want to keep up with the] | events as they break and we will give them to you, along with the local news, the social affairs, politics. sports and every thing else that goes to make up a live modern newspaper. Albert Stump, well known In-! dianapolis attorney and former candidate for United State's senate, will give the principal address at the annual meeting of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. A fluent speaker, he will discuss the var- . ious phases of the new securities act which affects every business man and every one who employs help. He will also tell about the numerous other taxes, why they i have been levied and how they can be met. The selection of both speaker and subject is wise and the Masonic hall will no doubt be taxed to capacity at the banquet to be held Thursday evening.
