Watch the columns of this paper for announcements that will be in-| teresting to those planning for Christmas. An elevated wreck in Chicago» sounds like the old days when train wrecks were the big features of every edition of the newspapers. It's really time to start your Christmas shopping and you will .find a wonderful assortment of goods in the Decatur stores. Make your selections early. One of those guys who is always taking the joy out of life, predicts! the coming winter will be the toughest on record. Hope he gets his ears pinched for bringing it up. You may feel today that you won't ever want any thing to eat again but it's surprising how soon you are ready for another feast., And Christmas is less than a month away. The extra dividend wave seems to be rolling right along and by the end of the year is expected to have reached the four billion mark. If there is any way to head off a i prosperous era with such a distrl-: bution of money we wouldn't know how. About the only way would be for every one to turn miser and! you know the American people are ! not built that way. Looks like a tobacco tax in In-| diana to meet the counties share | of the social security program. It may mean a couple of cents extra on a package of cigarettes, a penny on a good cigar and so on. Well that's better than putting it on necessities and tobacco is probably not regarded as that, especially by those who are not inflicted withi the habit of using the "filthy weed'' in any form. The death of O. P. VanSweringen places a heavy and undesired responsibility on the shoulders of the financial backers, George A. Tomlinson, shipping magnate of Cleveland and George A. Ball, glass I' jar manufacturer of Muncie. Both these men are over seventy years , of age and have many other affairs < to take up their time. There is no doubt room for a good man to occupy an executive chair but he ; will have to be good. 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 us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new' address.

Just what the big manufacturer , who made such a howl about the New Deal taxes wants is hard to understand. The Christiana Securities Corporation, family holding trust of the DuPohta. who spent t millions to save "their profits and business from the New Deal" is t paying sllß.lO a share on its com- , mon stock this year, exceeding the I previous high of 1819 which was $lO9 per share. Evidently the I taxes have not taken everything 1 from this struggling family. 1 ——— I The Central Sugar Company em--1 ployes each received a ten per ' cent cash bonus, based upon the : entire amount of salaries received during the campaign, this week, appreciated by il/em and a gesture of the right kind by Mr. McMillen, who paid it to show his good will | towards those who had striven to make this the most satisfactory run in the history of the plant. Coming at the Thanksgiving period it demonstrated the eSort nowbeing made to create the “live and le, live" spirit among men. E. D. Brown, a presidential elector from Oklahoma, conceived the I idea of making the election of Roosevelt and Garner unanimous and wrote the electors in Maine and Vermont, suggesting this profeedure by a motion when the college meets. It got along nicely until one Charles A. Gilman of Brunswick, Maine, an elector from that state, heard of it and then did he swell up and almost burst. He rehashed all the New Deal stuff and as you would expect a blue blooded New Englander to act, stood pat and told Brown, most politely of course, to go to the “divil." So that's that. It will be almost unanimous, but not quite. The National Retail Dry Goods Association has left the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and you would never guess why. They are going to organize an NRA of their own. cooperating with proprietors, 'clerks, the government and the 1 state. They will ask laws protecting them and covering hours and wages of employes, outlawing of advertising abuses and proper relations between retailers and coni sumers. The step indicates that many business men, large and small, now realize that the purpose of the much discussed and apparently despised NRA was gopd I and should have been supported, i With the election over, tht peri spective of many seems to be muph clearer. .

In addition to information of general interest, it outlines 'nformation <-f special interest to persons born on the designated dates. November 28 Those most affected today by the planetary influenced are likely to have birthdates falling between .'lay 21 and June 21. General Indications Morning—Doubtful. Afternoon—Changing. Evening—Confusing. Do not fight with those in power today. Discord is noticeable in most departments. Birthdate If Nov. 28 is your birthdate, 'be careful that you do not enend your energies in some profitless pursuit. During July and August, 1937, you ■•should steadily make progress in a ' conservative way. Elderly people and old reliable concerns should be- < ome fortunately prominent. December, 1936, should be a good* financial month. Danger—March 22 through May 2 and August 16 through 25, 1937. o ♦ # Answers To Test Questions Below are the answer* to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ • 1. Oakland. 2. Hurricane*,. 3.
