Chicago Charter Member of The Indians League of Home Dailies Can you take It? Throw a little feed to the birds. And a happy birthday to old Adams county. The weather, like history, seems to repeat itself. They call them "baby bonds," but the total mounts large. We feel the same you do about this coal shoveling business. By golly, Jake admits we are having an old fashioned winter. After it drops below 10. the average fellow doesn’t see much difference in that point and 20 below. It's cold anyway you read the thermometer. The one hundredth anniversary of the tounding of Adams county and the establishment of Decatur as a county seat, both occur this year and can be celebrated at the same time. The Centennial should be a great commumnity event. Don’t let anyone suffer in the community for the want of fuel, food or clothing. If you know of some one In dire need report it to agencies of government, church societies or to the individual, charitably inclined. No one should freeze to death In this county and if needy cases are reported we are sure the hand of charity will answer the call. There is a lot of pomp about the king business and countries tb»' wish to have such a ruler are welcome to that brand of government. Over here we wouldn't like to have our head man referred to as "his majesty" and he to address, “my subjects." The English people no doubt kid themselves, for they act' pretty independent and changes I in their government are more rapid ' than those in this country. The king might think he has ‘“subjects," but we wonder if he really believes it. Farmers braved the storm and came to Decatur yesterday as guests of the McCortnick-Deerfog management, who celebrated the opening of their modern new store in this city. Each year trade and market facilities arc expanded here and as time rolls on the importance of this city as a convenient trading center are enlarged. Events which bring rural and city people together are not only happy occasions, but serve to build a better community. Friendships should be numbered the greatest treasures in life. Wonder what kind of weather they had 100 years ago today in Decatur? Wonder what the men of Ihe day were thinking about? The century has brought progress, uu- j 'old improvements and inventions! and even when it's 20 below zero, we of today are comfortable and the greatest worry seems to be Loi keep the roads open foi the auto-1

inddiiles to travel. Speaking of autos, what would one of the founder;; of the county think if he could return and see the traffic jams, paved streets, electric lights and sit back in an easy chair and listen to the radio. Decatur now offers lower power and cooking rates through its municipal plant. The reduced electric rates have been approved by the state and all you have to do to receive the benefits is use more current for manufacturing purposes or in preparing your meals. Savings made in the past year in the operation of the city plant are being turned back to the patrons in the form of lower rates and this practice will be continued as long as profits warrant. Light rates will be the next considered, city officials state. The lower rates are appreciated and should further increase the demand for electric current. o ♦ ♦ Answer To Test Questions Below are Ihe answers *o <he Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
