Now with the cooking school over, it's up to each housewife to show how much she benefitted, by producing some of the palatable dishes. T; is fire prevention week. Have you gone over the furnace, taken a look at the roof, the flues and the stoves? It's important, not so much for the insurance companies as it is for your own comfort and safety. Lindy went to England and now Eddie bf Windsor is coming to America. That's a trade of citizens that will cause discussion for years to come. The duke and his fair wife will receive a hearty welcome in this land of the free and the brave.* We hear a number remark that the weather is unseasonable. Well, you can remember back twenty five years to 1912. That's the year Decatur gave its first big Home Coining. The dates were October' 9th to 11th and the weather was perfect, as warm as this year. Several of the men and women who write special columns for the purpose of making money as well as enjoying themselves are having a gopit time these days talking ‘‘white hood” on the Supreme bench. It makes material and that's not always so easily found. The 1. U. football team, heartened by the victory ot Nebraska over the widely advertised unbeatable Minnesota eleven, are putting in extra licks this week to get in condition to meet the Gophers. While the odds are against them, the liposiers will give the best they have. For.,Ute next week w« will all feel like Hubbell and Melton and Gomez and Ruffing and Gehrig and Ott an? the rest of those Yanks and Giants are old friends. After a few Innings of a world series, the names are so familiar that we can see them in a visionary way as they step to the plate or go after a hit ball. We are glad to have had the privilege of entertaining some eighteen hundred ladies and girls at the- cooking school the past ! three days and we hope you enjoyed it thoroughly. We will be glad to repeat the performance with a new picture and a different line of gifts if you liked it. We will be glad to hear from you. RogeT Babson thinks the chain store movement has reached its peak TO that those now established will remain. He estimates there are 1.475,000 regular stores and 140.000 chain units. In other 1 words there are ten times as many ' local stores as there are chains 1 and he figures the chains reaiiy ‘ have helped by inAiug the old fashioned merchant more alert. 1 —— i We admit *we know nothing of i foreigfi diplomcy and little about ’ the situation but we are inclined' :

i to believe the president is right in I his position that the time has I come when Europe should tell Japan where to get off in their persecutions of Chinese and it they don't do it, to see that they do. This nation would assist in police duty ot this kind because it looks neces ! sary to prevent a war that may! i eventually embroil the whole I world. There is talk that railway fares 1 may go to a cent a mile. That: would be the answer to all those! neadtng and desiring transportaI tlon. at least to those points cov-j ered by railroads, but that cannot. and will not come until these transI portation lines have sympathetic encouragement instead of vicious legislation and there is no doubt that some of the states have made it almost impossible to operate a railway, it is something worth ! thought. A couple of Amish boys near LaGrange have confessed to au ati tempt to extort >2.000 from Dan Yoder, a farmer. They sent him | a note in which the demands were! stated in words cut from newspapers. but they said they would blow his buildings to X X X, which is the Amish way of writing hell. From this clue they caught up with! Miller, who confessed, and implicated Troyer. The boys were [ taught. differently and the arrest I caused much surprise all over this 1 part of the state. Earl Adams is sponsoring an idea to salvage the bell from Cen-1 tral school and house it in a build-1 ing of stone from the foundation ' of the* old school house, the ex | pense to be met by the graduates I of the old high school. For several decades this bell called to | classes those who are now mature in years and the preservation of the old bell as a memento of the good old days will no doubt meet with approval by many. If you are , interested, tell Earl you will help. “How happy wc are that the cir- ! cumstances of the moment permit us to put our money into bridges and boulevards, dams and reforestation, the conservation of our soil and many other kinds of useful works rather than into huge standing armies and vast supplies of implements of war. No nation ever ( loses its dignity or good standing i by conciliating its differences and by exercising great patience with and consideration for, the rights of other nations.”—From President Roosevelt's Chicago speech. HIGHWAYS OF TOMORROW: Compared to the roads of a generation ago. modern highways are marvels of excellence. Yet, in spite of this phenomenal development, today's system is woefully inadequate, as Frank T. Sheets points out in an article in Public Safety. "Progressive strides have been taken and must continue to be taken in driver education and in providing safety regulation for vehicles," says Mr. "Sheets, “but the ultimate in traffic convenience and safety will not be reached until we actually provide adequate highways and build safety into them.” Today's engineers have designed tomorrow’s highways. These magnificent roads will include terminal facilities in cities whet«by traffic will move to various points with a minimum of congestion; main super highways of many lanes, with divisions in the center to prevent head-on collissions. will carry cross-country traffic, avoiding congested areas enroute; intermediate highways will serve local traffic needs;’ even the lowest grade, little-used roads will be given some cheap form of allweather surface; arterial urban streets will carry into and through cities and towns that part of rural main trunk traffic which has business in the metropolitan area. This seems a far off ideal, but not long ago the automobile, the radio, the airplane, the telephone seemed so. too. The cost of de veloping highways and streets ot maximum safety oh a national

ZION LUTHERAN (CONTWUKP FROM Meß.Qjqft, church. New Church Dedicated For the last several years the old church building proved frequently inadequate for the increased membership of the church. The present congregation therefore erected a new and larger building 1 last year, which was dedicated in December. The new building is a beautiful structure and is a dls-| tinct achievement of the congre-l gallon. All new furniture In the; church, as well as a new pipe organ. were also purchased last year The congregation was organized by the Rev. J. Klaueing and the late teacher H. Lankensu. Resident pastors of the church were the Rev. G. Wehmeyer, now of Bridgeport, Conn., who served from 1909 to 1915; Rev, A. Hinz. Cleveland. O„ from 1915 to 1925, and the present pastor, the Rev. Paul W. Schultx, who has been with the congregation for the past 11 years. The public is cordially invited
