When the folks all get together. for Thanksgiving it may be well to hint what they will appreciate I for Christmas. —. Memberships continue to roll in for the Red Cross and those in charge are confident of going over the top this week. Tlie sugar factory campaign will close in a few days with employes, i farmers and employers all well I pleased. That’s something in any business, any place. Os course there have to be upsets in football as in all other sports or there would be any attraction. It’s the unexpected that makes the fans enjoy the sports.] And there were the usual number Saturday. It’s Thanksgiving week and we hope it will be a happy occasion for every one. It seems that there is more to be thankful for this year than usual and that people i are getting back to a normalcy that has not been known since the days before the World War. The Decatur merchant is fortun-' ate for he is located in a live com-1' inunity where about every ablebodied person is at work, where the future looks bright and where profits can be made. If you will' 1 advertise your wares you can sell them and enjoy the largest bus- ' iness you have ever had here. Go after it and you will get it. The Literary Digest is still trying to explain its recent bad guessing, but so far haven't convinced very many that with all the in-j formation they must have had, they couldn't have at least hinted that there might be a chance for mistakes in some of the thirtythree states they were claiming for Landon by large majorities. Only about thirty days in which | to do your Christmas shopping and| no fooling, it's time to get at it. Those who plan to go right after this job next week or even this week, will be that much ahead and will be getting a tough job behind him. Buying now gives you better CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are 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. R. 2. instruct 1 us to change the paper from route one to route two.. When changing ‘ address to another town, always give present address and new address, i

By the end of the year it is estimated more than forty thousand ' I citizens of the United States will have met death since January lai, as the result of automobile accidents. If M. Clifford Townsend, can remedy that as he plans to try, he will be doing about the I greatest thing for his people that he could possibly accomplish. Any i way its a worth while goal. R. G. Pieffer of V’an Wert, driving near Monroe, Michigan, picked 1 up a hitch hiker, who poked a gun 1 | in his ribs, forced him to drive two 1 > miles on a side road, shot and . robbed him and then drove off in his car. Any punishment we can i think of is too good for such a stony hearted criminal and the affair should be another warning to those who kindly pick up strangs ers along the road. The United States Chamber of’ Commerce demands that relief i work be ended because they have. i promised to absorb the jobless., They already know that the adi ministration will be very happy to' stop furnishing relief and will do so as rapidly as is possible. How- , ever they will retain the neces-, sary organization so that when- | ever private business and Indus-i ; try lets down, there will be no re- j ' turn of the terrible days of a fewyears ago. The usual toll of accidents over | the week-end, most of them as the | result of automobile smash ups of. one kind or another. While its | true that there is more traffic over i Sunday than at other times of the 1 wees, it has never been made quite I clear why drivers should appar- j , ently be more careless then than at other times, but it looks as though they are. The collision , near Fort Wayne Saturday morn- 1 ing when three were killed should t have been averted with a little i care on the part of the drivers, if I reports are true. — The world loves a winner. Some • idea of that is shown by the fact*' that a number of special writers' who for four years have pounded Rexford Guy Tugwell, charged him with every thing from crookedness to dumbness, are now actually re- 1 grelting that he is retiring from | governmental activities. Now he is highly competent and talented and has been of great assistance to President Roosevelt. He refused to quit under fire, but now that he has taken the heat and feels he has completed his job, he is ready to enter other and more profitable!

o•* n*’ II w - BRAUM * i i »O ' Every day the papers write of hunting accidents. "Hunter acci’dentally shot" "Rifle or at hot gun explodes when hunter drops gun.” And no on. A loaded gun shock! no» be taken into a house, hunting ehack, or car. Many times some other person tries out the “sight" pulle the trigger and a fatality Is the result. Pulling a loaded gun through a tenoe by i taking hold of the barrel is a dan--1 gerous stunt. Do not clean a gun until you have made positive inspection of chamI er and carrel. Never point a gun at anybody. Its a foolish and senselew | action. The supposedly unloaded gun is the gun that has killed many people. If you cannot handle a gun, stay away front it. —— * Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee • Loose Nails In Wall A loose nail in a plastered wall can be made firm as follows: Saturate a email piece of wadding with glue; wrap as much as possible around the nail and reinsert in hole, pressing in firmly. Remove excess glue with wet cloth. When dry the nail will be rigid. Any loose chunk of plaster can be fastened in place with the glue.
