That should be easy and will be if every one helps just a weeny, teeny bit. Be a booster for the Red Cross. It’s the greatest of all organiza tions of its kind, has for many t years done a great work and will , continue to do so as long as it is , supported. i Collections in the state gasoline s department for October exceeded . those of a year ago 5219,875, giving some idea of the progress of , prosperity. This is further iudi . rated by the report from the , license department and from the ( increase in the sale of cars. The President is oil on a well deserved vacation which will include good-will stops at Latin American republics. It will no doubt be a delightful ocean jour- | uey and here's hop’ug Mr. Roose- ( velt comes back completely rested j and ready to enter again upon his j strenuous duties. ' l { By the first of the year a million workers will have beeu taken from the relief rolls and given regular and private employment. ( It is assured that within another j year we will be well out of the woods on the unemployment prob lera. which after all was the most j serious part of the depression. The three toughest and most heartless bandits on record robbed a hospital in Philadelphia, holding up nurses aud visitors -ad escap- , ius with |4,o(iu. They ought to bring them back there for treatment and permit the attendants to wait on them with plenty of carbolic acid aud other antidotes for i meanness. A public conforenco to consider changes in the gross income tax ■ law will be held at Indianapolis December 10th at which time M Clifford Townsend, governor-elect will make an earnest effort to: satisfy those who feci they arc being unjustly dealth with under the present regulations. That was his promise during the campaign aud lie is keeping faith by making it his first order of business. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribera arc requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. K. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

Senator Thurman A. Qottachalk of this county hus again been named u member of the budget com- 1 rnittee aud because of his long experience and his natural aptitude tor such work, will carry his full i share of the responsibilities. The work of compiling the approprl- 1 .1 turns will start this week so thut the committee which is composed: of two members from each house, 1 will be ready to report as early in, the session us possible. They will visit each state institution and will discuss with those In charge the proposed expenditures for the next two years. New buildings for various inI stitutions and a proposed new office building for the branches of state government in Indianapolis, will necessitate the increasing of the appropriations by the coming legislature, it is predicted by those in the best position to know. Os course these things ull indicate activities that point to better times . for it means employment of more people and a general improvement, so there is nothing to complain about. After all its more pleasant to go along with an upward trend than to drag behind a lowering market. It has been discovered that the i Federal social security act has a provision which will bring insecurity for persons employed in illegal occupations, provided the inex- ] pertly drawn law remains on the statute books. For officers of the security board have ruled that after January 1, the "boss ’ crooks, such as gang leaders, racketeers and gamblers will have to face the same obligation as law-abiding bus- 1 iness men to fill out applications for employer identification numbers, in which they are asked to ! "describe fully the exact nature of your business" and to state "principal goods or services sold." They will also have to deduct 1 per cent from the pay of their hirelings and remit it, with an equal sum 1 representing their own coutribu- 1 tion, to the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Thus Uncle Bam will have another club over the big crooks which will prove as effective, or perhaps more so, than the; j income tax law, the violation of which has sent Ai Capone and other big gang leaders to the Federal ' penitentiaries. For the big employers of gangsters will find themselves “in jake” with the law if they do not report On the other hand, if they do report their illegal acts truthfully, the Department of Justice and its G-men will have I , invaluable information on file; which they can use in effects to break up dangerous gangs aud racketeers engaged in illegal business,—Elkhart Truth. o • — ft Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Testing Rubber Gloves To test rubber gloves for leaks, j inflate them with air. then hold' under Bubbles will rise it there are any small holes or leaks Freshly Painted Room Set a tub of cold water over night in the room that has been freshly painted.
