The holiday rush is on. do your shopping now when you can be comfortable and have a wider selection. The sale of Christmas seals will start this week and ot course everyone will want enough of them to paste a couple on each letter sent out. each package and a few left over for good measure. The Mississippi river is frozen over at Winona. Minnesota, and this is the earliest that has occurred in thirty-eight years. That looks like an early winter but don't be too sure. In this part of the country we often have cold weath- • er when we expect warm breezes and vice versa. The same men who are earnestly and honestly urging a thirtyhour week now may in a year or two be asking for longer days. If this nation reaches the peak of production that now looks assured, it will require all our workmen more than thirty hours a week to provide the necessities. ~ I The U. S. Treasury has made another demand on the foreign countries for the war debts owed America. Chances are we won't receive any payment, except from little Finland, but we do have the satisfaction that the borrowing books are closed and that we don't need to loan them any more. It's probably cheap insurance against any future wars. We don't quite get this mystery stuff about Sir Basil Zaharoff. It was his life and if he engaged in selling munitions to waring countries and fomented revolutions in others, he probably had a right to keep under cover. He is credited with great wealth, but it seems that he did not enjoy much of it and contributed very little to the betterment of mankind or to the welfare of any country. President Roosevelt is out preaching peace and he has the support ot this nation. We do not want war and we hope the gallant leader will be able to secure such agreements at Buenos Aires and - secure them so enthusiastically, that the western continent will always stand pat for peace. War is not only terrible but it is useless and never accomplished any thing except when fought for defense. — ■ CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are roquested 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.

We can well be proud of a chief executive who gives his time to; preventing war. Off on another busy week. The winter shoppers and the folks look-; t' ing for Christmas gifts will keep t the stores on the move right up to . the day of all days. It is estimatl’ed that shopping this year will be the largest in a long time and may I set an all-time record. In this * community there is every reason , to expect that for the situation is i a prosperous oue, with every one i 1 working and the outlook for a betJ ter 1937. Let's go. Van Groom, motorman on the 1 North Shore express which crash!ed into an elevated railroad train a few nights ago, says that tor some reason his brakes failed to work. Ot course there was some ! reason and it is doubtful if this' poor fellow was to blame, but the results are there and he will per-1 haps never be sure in his own mind. What is justice in such a case? To punish this motorman ■ so that others will act with more i care or be merciful to one who is now and will for years suffer mental anguish, than which nothing is j worse? No wonder the Europeans are. investing their money in America ■ and they are. it being estimated i that more than two billion dollars i has been rushed over here the I ' past few months. About a fourth { of it went into U. S. bonds and the i rest into the rising stocks, which is almost a natural thing for them! to do. They know its safe and 1 they can make more than they can i by keeping it at home. The danger I is that some day they will start I pulling it out and then we may I notice a rather decided depression. , However the Washington author-I , ities are on the watch and it is i likely that some restrictions to! safe-guard danger will be announcSenator Gottschalk, according to ( the Berne Review, favors a reduc-j tion of the gross income taxes of fifty per cent, which would be a i tine and much appreciated thing' to do. if the receipts are sufficient. •to meet all requirements. One j great difficulty is that the coming 1 legislature is already being urged , to increase the appropriations fori educational institutions, penal and other state organizations, a total of some ten million dollars to be 1 added if they get what they want.' These things .are all tine but they I must be paid for and to do that and I reduce taxes makes it a tough job. However with such veterans as Gottschalk, Chambers, Eichhorn and others on the job, we are sure the tax problem will be solved. o A « STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVI NE 1 1-or persons wao Believe that human destnly is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by i a noted astrologer.

Mr. Roosevelt began his journey : to the American embassy with a I background of docks, shipping, and railway stations, while facing him were the skyscrapers ol Buenos Aires, whose skyline is as famous in its part of the world as New York's. He passed palatial residences, modern apartments, business buildings, he traversed avej nues lined with native lilac trees, : in bloom, and in the heart of the I capital he passed balconies from where Argentine women, famed for ; their beauty, waved greetings. Alternate lamp standards along

the route carried the Argentine and United States colors and coats of arms. The national holiday brought out countless thousands to pack the spacious sidewalks and parks. At the American embassy, President Justo took leave of President Roosevelt, who wished to prepare to call officially on him at government house. The president went , to his quarters overlooking Paler- , mo park and a famed rose garden. Thus ended the first part of President Roosevelt's reception, an occasion that Buenos Aires had awaited with the greatest of excitement, and undoubtedly oue which Mr. Roosevelt never will forget. g m ADAMS COUNTY i (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ into every item they found in the ' budgets and unless they were con- • vinced that the proposal was an • absolute necessity .they did not ■ hesitate to use their pruning . knives.” !

MUNICIPALITIES TO FIGHT ACT Municipal League Opposes Section Os Service Commission Act Indianapolis, Nov. 30 — (U.R) —! Repercussions ot the imprisonment of Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs of Huntington will resound in Indiana legislative chambers when the fight to life restrictions agn.’nst municipal ownership of utilities opens before the 80th general assembly. While the 46-year old executive languishes in Huntington county jail, the municipal league of Indiana is rallying opposition to sections of the 1933 public service commissiou act which governs the Requisition or erection ot a municipal utility in an area in which a private company is operating. Bangs is serving his second sentence in Huntington county jail as result of his fight to establish the city’s "toy" electric plant in competition with the Northern Indiana Power company. The municipal league has endorsed the fight of the militant editor-lawyer-mayor, who spent 101 days in jail in 1935 and returned to his cell on July 6 after refusing to heed a circuit court order to disconnect the plant’s lines. The public service commission law provides thal a municipality I desiring to establish a utility in i competition with a private company operating under an indetenn--1 inate permit, license or franchise i must defend its action in courts. , unless an agret ment is reached 1 between the parties. Opponents of the bill contend difficulties experienced by municipalities attempting to dislodge established private utilities are not conducive to municipal ownership. Under provisions of the law. the municipal council must first declare by resolution that public necessity ajid convenience require such a municipal utility. That decision mus tbe favored by a maI jority vote of. the electorate. Any public utility operating in I the area may appeal within 30 i days after the council resolution I to the circuit or superior court in j the area for the purpose of ob- ‘ mining a judicial review and de- ! termination of the question of : such public necessity and conven- , ience. Until the court rules, no further action can be taken by i the municipality. Either party ma.y appeal from the judgment to the slate supreme 1 court. legislative leaders contend it would be necessary to rewrite the I entire public service commission ‘ act in order to fulfill the league’s I objective. Repeal ot sections governing I only the acquisition or erection of utilities by municipalities would I result in legal technicalities, it was pointed out. Under the public service a.et. j most of the private utilities in tho ; state exchanged their municipal i franchises and licenses for indeI terminate permite from the com- ! mission. It would be impossible for the municipalities to re-enter the utility field as long as the private utilities held such permits since ' such action would result in a. breach of contract by a unit of the state. In the event the act should be repealed, the measure provides that the indeterminate permits issued by the state commission shall expire. The utilities shajl regain, however, the license, permit or franchise previously held ! with Hie municipality and such a ; contract could not be terminated | for at least five years. o Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Hemstitching Hint The drawing of threads ill hemstitching will be simplified if they are first gone over with a wet brush that has been rubbed over a bar of soap.
