Watch the bride wake up Monday afternoon, at the Adams, first of the three afternoons of cooking school. The world series will be on next week with the two New York teams again fighting it out for the big honors and the big cut in the net proceeds. We near another week end and those who contemplate enjoying the beautiful aufumn weather should start and finish with a determination to drive carefully. Justice Black will speak to the people via the radio and he is assured a large»listening audience. Whatever he has tn say will be of interest to a public somewhat disturbed. The radios will be crowded tonight when the populace gets on a nationwide hook-up to hear Justice Blacks explanation of the < harges that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The tax rates as finally parsed by the adjustment board will prole ably stand as they should for in each case they seem to be fair and, as low as is compatible with good government and administration. Carl Hubbel wou the game yesterday which placed the Giants in an unbeatable position for the pennant in the National league. This will give him a chance to try his skill against the Yanks next week The firemen did a good job at the Ktiapke fire yesterday morning. For a time the blaze looked as though it would not only destroy the entire property but would spread to other buildings in that locality. The bays worked with speed and judgment and soon had the flames under control. The slump in the stock markets has been quite noticeable and no doubt rather painful to mttny who got caught, but business continues good, the outlook is for an improvement, there is nothing to discour age those who wish to push forward. Don't worry about the times as long as the prices of farm pro ducts hold up. Those who have to work in the court house these days arc finding their sweaters and top coals con i venient apparel and those who must appear ib court feel their reception is even cooler than normal. The new furnace is being installed and will soon be in apple-pie order but 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 t ?us to change the paper from route one to route two. •

in the njeantime the folks are shivering. Visit the special soy bean car at the Pennsylvania railroad Saturday and see for yourselves the varied uses to which this product is put-. With the largest plant of its kind in America located here, I we are all interested in the possibilities of the future. There is no ‘ telling how big we will grow with the present foundation. The new city directory lists 5.750 people who reside in Decatur, which, with those who are here for a few weeks at a time as the various industrial developments go oil. probably place our population at well over the 6.000 mark. Any way the directory shows a ten per cent gain over the last census and we are just getting well started. It should be remembered that if we pass up th® grant of 1110.000 now we will never have another opportunity to save that amount of money and the need for the new school building will be just* as ■ great as ever. We hope that those ' on whom the burdens of decision | fall will not make a mistake in - this very important matter. We 1 do not believe they will. Don't overlook the screen lined cooking school next week given] toy the Daily Democrat and spon sored by a number of leading' manufacturers. The ladies will en , joy it a lot. It's Monday. Tuesday | and Wednesday afternoons and you are invited to attend as many times as you can. You certainly will get there one afternoon at least. The school board will petition j the city council for assistance in , building the house and taking advantage of the SIIO,OOO I government grant. That we should i take advantage of this opportunity I is clearly manifest for this will be 1 the last chance in a long time for this kind of aid. We need the building if we are to keep up with progress in the community and every one should enthusiastically be for it. J years ago an ordei WM ’ issued from the postmaster geuer- , a.- etln, that all mail directed to < girls under eighteen or boys under twenty-one years of age. must be 1 delivered to parents or guardians. } It would look as though that might slow up some love matches, but ac- f cording to those who watched the t enforcement of the order, it didn't 'work any better then than it would now. The wise boys and girls e usually found a friend old enough f to receive mail who would pass the • letter inside the directed envelope to the sweetheart or lover. Doc Hardy, a dentist at Midland. * Michigan, believes the only good ; bandits are dead ones and he car- 1 ried out that idea Wednesday when 1 four men were routed as they were ( trying to hold up the Chenical , State Savings Bank and after they 1 had shot and wounded three men 1 including the president and cashier , of the bank. As they left the trank, ethe doctor grabbed his deer rifle and let fire. He killed one of the i bandits and wounded another, while a third was captured. That's really doing business and is about the only way to break up the crime I era. o * Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ - —• Copying Patterns If you see a pattern in embroidery or crocheting in the newspaper that you wish to copy, but find that it is too hard to follow because of the small print, use a magnifying glass. It will be much easier to follow the fine stitches. Window Screens Before packing away the window screens, brush and wash them thoroughly, then dampen a cloth with linseed oil and rub over them. They will not warp and rust during the winter months. Muffin Pans Iron muffin pans should be heated. then greased. then kept warm until they are filled with the bat- ■ ter. I
