Who wouldn't after he had'heard all the things that have been said about him, pro and con, the past month? Germany needs a million bushels of grain and that's the cause of the jumps in prices in this country this week. The farmer is sitting the best he has in a decade. Boost the Good Fellow club. Let's make every child here laugh and be merry during the holiday season. A few hundred dollars spent thus will go a long ways. Time is slipping by and you will soon have to stand in line an hour or two to get your automobile license and tags for 1937. Don't put it off longer. Get them now. Two weeks from tomorrow is New Years day and 1937, brightest looking youngster who has been seen in these parts in some seven or eight years and for many twice that. The shopping season for Christmas is at its peak and during the next several days every store will be busy. You can make it easier for yourselves and the clerks by making up your lists. Use this paper as your guide. The Good Fellow fund is lagging and that's a shame for it means that some boys and girls cannot be taken care of unless we pep it up. Give a dollar or two or a five or ten to this x. .nderful cause of making every one in the community happy on Christmas day. President Roosevelt is back in Washington and according to reports from there, every one is “up ou his toes” again. In other words when the “cats away, the rats will play" seems to have been the rule while the big boss was looking over the outlook in South America. A few days ago King Edward of England, now plain Edward Windsor, in voluntary exile, sad and morose, is reported to be financially “broke.” Included in his expenses, according to reports, is a 5600,000 bill at a Paris jewelry shop. What a play boy he turned out to be. If two or three hundred houses are built in Decatur the coming year, the census will increase from 1,000 to 1,500. It’s up to us to show a population of 8,000 to 10,000 by 1940 and we can do it if we can house those who wish to live and work and be happy here. Don’t worry, there will be snow for Santa, according to the professors who know and if not, you kiddies have certainly heard that the old boy has in reserve the finest airplane ever made that will sit lightly on top of the house, while he slips down the chimney. Every thing is going to be alright. Prices on farm produce slipped a little while stock markets shewed strength but the general inclin-

ation is up and it will so continue I for some time to come, according! to those who study these problems, who realize we are entering, an era of great prosperity and who; have faith in Amcrka and her 1 government. Tradesmen who construct bulld- ; Ings should be careful about their demands for such an increase of > wages that will make improve--1 ments impossible. This is the only 1 thing that will stop a building prot i gram that will continue for years. 1 There should be a point of fairness i that is right for each side that should be strictly complied with. An Adams county farm sold at auction this week for a hundred dollars per acre, indicating a come back that is sure to develop. City properties also are worth , double now what they were a couple years ago. We should guard against these prices going too high but you are certainly still safe when you can buy for what the improvements would cost you and pay nothing for the ground. You can still do that if you look around, but bargains are getting scarcer each day. A modern school house and a city auditorium combined would aid the city in many ways and be another step towards the best town in the country. We believe public sentiment is for the proposed improvement and we believe it wise to do it now when we can secure a grant of 45% of the cost from the government. That's just that much money found for whether we use it or not does not effect federal taxes. The billions appropriated will be used and this community should have its share. Otherwise we are only paying the bill for others. The cost of the proposed new building will not be felt to any painful extent. We have to do something about the school ’ house situation here and while we are at it, we are foolish not to add 1 the auditorium. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

What does the bridegroom usually provide for his best man and ushers at a church wedding? A. He usually provides the ties, gloves, boutonnieres, and a gift to each of a small piece of jewelry. Q. How can a child be trained to appreciate each one of his Christmas gifts equally? A. By teaching him thoroughly ■ that to be remembered is far more important than the actual gift. Q. What kind of dress should 1 a woman wear to an informal dinner? A. Any pretty dress may be worn, with special attention to the i coiffure. o Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee The Kitchen Table Instead of tacking the next piece of oilcloth to the kitchen worktable, fasten it with flour paste. This will prevent cracks and wrinkles, will be more durable, and will , look nicer. A Stocking Hint If a thin place, a small hole, or a runner is noticed in the stocking, mend it before putting It in the , laundry. By doing this, the break will not become larger during the washing process. Cold Beds A cold bed will be unknown if several layers of paper are placed smoothly between the mattress and the springs. o Miss Margaret Campbell of BluffI ton is the guest of friends in Decatur.

1 child, Huntington, secretary; Har-' ■ old Pribble, Goshen, treasurer, and James Fagan. Terre Haute, legislative chairman. Recorders elected John P. Bal- ' lard. Jr., Princeton, president;; i Frank Boreman, Crown Point, vice president; Fay Heddon, Vincennes, secretary-treasurer. i Isaac Kane, of the inheritance ; tax division of the state Tax com- ' mission, told the groups yesterday ' that the legislature will be asked , !to enact a gift tax. There is no I such tax on the statute books at ; present. The division also will recommend that the inheritance law raise the exemptions allowed at present to widows, widowers, chil- ! dren and stepchildren. The gift tax is proposed to halt evasions of Inheritances taxes which begun when the national ad. i ministration raised federal rates on inheritances. EX-KING WILL .CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) I ' woman who tried to enter the castle grounds yesterday with a j . letter for him. Police stopped the woman and | could say little about her except

1 that ehe arrived by automobile, wearing a fur-collared coaj. and insisted she must deliver person-; ally a letter to the duke. Refused admittance, she drove away rapidly. At first, the secret service men ! decided to do nothing, but when they got the idea that the duke | might like to know the identity oft his mysterious visitor, they started a, search for her. I Chagrined gendarmes strength- i ened their guard of the castle today because of the success of a ; photographer yesterday in snap- > ping the duke as he played golf. The photographers paid a. group ol local youths $lO to guide liim| along a devious path into the castle grounds. There he covered himself with leaves near a golf tee. ADJUST YOliR BRAKES P. A.
