You can make up lost time by ; looking over the advertisements in this paper and writing down the list of gifts you need.

David Windsor, ex-king of England and Mrs. Simpson can no more get away from the front pages than can President Roosevelt or others who are doing interesting things. The Daily Democrat will make al Christmas gift to those away from home that will be enjoyed every week day for a year and the cost by mail within the first or second zones, about 100 miles, is only $3. Put it on your list. Christmas seals are used to carry on the expenses of the local antituberculosis society in a work that has done much good and will so continue. Be sure to use these seals during this holiday season and thus aid one of the greatest of all causes. A Chinese proverb that you might think about reads: “If you wish to I be happy for an hour, get intoxi-1 cated. If you wish to be happy for | three days, get married. If you wish to be happy for eight days, kill your pig and eat it. But if you wish to be happy forever, become 1 a gardener.” The efforts now being made to complete arrangements for building a new school house and public’ auditorium at the site of the Central school building is a project, that should be enthusiastically supported. It can be financed without worry to any one and with but slight increase in the taxes. The government offered seven hundred million dollars of bonds, to bear 2%% interest and the issue was over subscribed four times, indicating great confidence in the government of the United States. As business absorbs the surplus of money now in circulation the bonds will probably not be in such great demand but it all shows a prosperous condition that is improving each day. — — After all is said and done, King Edward ran away from a big job, I in which he could have served his millions of subjects to great advantage. He was popular, he was trained, he had the support of his people and he turned it down. Wise or foolish, only the years to come can prove. In the meantime, every one wishes he and his bride-to-be all the happiness in the world and long live the king. More than 150 people have been killed in automobile accidents in ludiaupolis alone. That's serious and Governor Townsend should

have the support of every good j ■ citizen in his program, whatever | i it may be, to eradicate this terrific loss of life. In the state the deaths I will total about 1,000 and in this 1 county there have been nine casualties. It's time to really do some-, thing about it. The question of whether Mayor , Bangs will be ousted, will serve the rest of his term in jail or just what will happen, is expected to be cleared this week and the citizens of Huntington will no doubt, consider it a good Christmas gift, | regardless of results. No city can progress under such circumstances' ias those that have existed there and any compromise that will bring peace should be acceptable. Electors chosen in the November election met in the various states yesterday and voted for President and Vice-President. As was predicted ever since the election, the , vote resulted 523 to 8 for Roosevelt and Garner over Landon and Knox. It is of course an empty formality in these later days, but a century ago the electoral college really had a job of greatest importance, really choosing as among a i number of candidates. Proposals to reduce the gross in- ■ come tax by placing a tribute on a whiskey, tobacco, cigarettes, theaters, etc., may solve the question for some but it will impose a burdien on others and as always, those who feel it, will be just as loud in their protests as were those who . carry a heavy burden under the present system. It's far too early to predict what the legislature will do but Mr. Townsend proposes to keep his promises to the voters by urging in his first message, such changes as he feels will remove unfair taxes against a few bus;messes. o ♦ . < Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

LOYAL TROOPS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) drove the rebel legionnaires and fascist militia recruits beyond the village. Tho rebel attack then turned to Valdemorillo, where Col. Juan Barcelo was entrenched with a regi- | meat of government troop*, threatening the insurgents’—line of coml munications with San Martin de Valdeigleslas, 10 miles northwest of Madrid. Several attacks were beaten oft. An official government report said the new attack on Madrid had 1 “tailed to gain ground” and that an offensive against Boadilla del j Monte, in the course of this attack, . was “easily repulsed.” (a rebel communique claimed Boadila Del Monte, which stands as a constant threat to the rebels’ left flank in their assaults on Madrid, has been captured. —ed) Reports from government sources speak on repeated successes in the Basque sector where loyalists are fortifying their positions. —o JAPANESE NEWS — i (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) confidential adviser. Officials hoped that Donald would be able to report that the ■ young marshal would accept, for the generajissimo's release, terms less startling than his demand for war on Japan. Donald was expected to fly at once to Nanking, the central govi eminent capital. But pending the generalissimo's release, the central government \ prepared for action against the army of the young marshal — reported to number 100,000 in all and 10.000 in the Sian-Fu area. It was announced officially at Nanking that two divisions had surrounded Sian-Fu from a distance of 15 miles and that orders to attack were withheld only spending negotiations for Generalissimo Chiang's release. More loyal troops have occupied the towns of Tungkwan, Hsienyang and Weinan, on the main highway west and east of SianFu. Native areas of Shankhai were I put under martial law today as a precaution against disorders resulting from the new crisis.
