Carl Hubbell is still the king of the National league. He held the Yankee murderer's row down and kept control of the ball game, winning the only game of the five played in the series. Tax paying time is here. Your gross income report must *go in by Thursday evening and you have just three weeks to get your receipt from County Treasurer Jeff Leichty. Both are important. Get the rubbish out of the basement before you start burning the furnace to capacity. It's dangerous and authorities claim that many fires start from old piles of Tags and rubbish. It looks better and is better. 1 ! -» The Giants made a good fight but were clearly outclassed and the Yankees continue world champions. Next year look out for the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago Cubs.

It may be different. — During the year 1935 but fortyone people in the United States 4iad incomes exceeding a million ■dollars as compared to 513 in 1929 Jhe official report for 1936 is not ."put yet but it is expected that '36 _and '37 will show that many more than 41 had a profit of a million. Boys who think they derive pleasure from destruction of property particularly as the Hallow’een ffieason draws near, should know That they are taking grave chances it’s a violation of law and the city officials have given warning •that arrests will be made if necessary. There were several surprises in . Saturday's football games. Illinois and Notre Dame battled to a tie, ■ Ohio State lost to Southern California and Indiana held Minnesota Jo a six-point victory. These things happen on the gridiron and that J>erhaps is what makes every game "Interesting. «. Walking along state highways' after dark is a dangerous practise. Os course pedestrians have that right but they do so largely at their own risk. It is often impossible for the driver of a car to see the pedestrian in time to avoid hitting him. The walker can see' and hear the car coming and should get out Os the road. A half dozen were killed over the week end in that way. Halloween will be observed in I Decatnr on Monday evening, November Ist this year with a big , Calithufflpian parade. These events ,< were started some years ago by the late Jesse Rice and have been very successful, providing much 1 amusement and entertainment. The ( dtHeWd of the Chamber of Com merce have decided to carry on — .LZ • e

and will try to make this one the best ever given here. Ogden L. Mills, former secretary , of the treasury and high in the councils of the Republican party died suddenly from u heart attack : yesterday. He was 53 years old and was recognized as a states- . man. philanthropist and patron of the arts. He was frequently men-. ’ tinned as a candidate for the presf-| dency and was considered one of- ' the big leaders of the conserva- ' tlves. He resided in New York 11 i: City. ~ ~ - - President Roosevelt will give one of his fireside talks tonight and it is expected he will discuss the war situation in the far east. He is. striving to prevent this nation 1 getting into any difficulties but | ! there are serious sides to the prob- ’ lent and it is not one that should be used by those politically inclined. Tune in tonight and hear what the President has to say and keep ’ in mind he is working for your interests. Street safety signs are to be erected here this week and it is hoped that every one gives attention to them. There is little need for serious accidents in the city if . drivers will watch their speed and keep the car well under control. It's mighty important that every care be taken to avoid accidents, and that means that every driver I should do his best all the time. Watch for the new signs and I please observe them. — The Zion Lutheran church of this city observed its 35th anniversary Sunday with an excellent ' program and a crowd that showed much interest. Congratulations from many sources far and near were sincere and genuine and Rev. Schultz and his congregation have a right to feel very proud. The church has grown steadily and its property is one of the finest in this .city. We wish for them ' many happy returns of the occasion. As was expected by most special 1 writers and commentators, the supreme court .turned "thumbs down" on the Justice Black ques- i tion of fitness for a job on the bench, going on the theory that so far as they are concerned he was ; regularly appointed and qualified and that the petitions did not show they had sustained any direct in- , juries or were in danger of being ' injured by the appointment. It ' seems to settle the affair for the , present at least. Discovery Day, marking the 145th anniversary of the landing of Columbus on an island of the i Bahamas, where he planted the cross, called it San Salvador and took possession of it in the name of Spain. Wonder what would have happened if this great soldier of fortune had listened to the pleas and threats of his men and turned his sailing vessel back. But he didn't and after a series of historical events covering the nearly four and a half centuries, this has be- ! come the greatest nation in the world. Today the anniversary is again being observed in varied manner in many cities and towns, a great occasion for all who Iwe this land of the free and the brave. o ♦ : ♦ Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE I* = ♦ Q. Is it all right for a girl to give a party for her sister, who is to i be married soon, or would it imply gifts were expected? A. It certainly is all right to do bo. You can emphasize t? your friends that it is not a shower. Or, you can give the party In the evening and invite men also; this should relievo the merest suspicion that it is in any form of a shower.

PRESIDENT TO SPEAK TONIGHT Roosevelt To Broadcast “Fireside Chat” At 8:30 Tonight Washington. Oct. 12 — (U.R) — | President Roosevelt will discuss six subjects tonight in a “fireside, ichat ' with the nation. The address is scheduled for; I S:3O p. m. CST and will be broad- i I casted over all major radio net-I ! works. ' Except for a White House an- j 1 nottucement that the "chat" would | | include six subjects, its contents j were guarded carefully. It was I believed, however, that the preai-*; 1 dent will give a comprehensive reI view of the national situation, and include personal observations of his recent tour of the northwest. Congressional leaders were es- | pecially anxious to hear what the i president had to say, hoping that 1 he would indicate whether he will ' recall congress for a special ses- , sion. The president probably will not make a definite announcement i of an extra session tonight but his | remarks were expected to reveal I whether he will do Bo soon. | In view of the agriculture department’s reports predicting bumj per crops in all commodities, ft was believed certain that Mr. Roosevelt would emphasize the need for immediate enactment of crop control legislation. Other possible subjects which I may be included in the speech are ! flood control, power generation, 1 wages and hours legislation and i judicial reorganization. | . -o— —- | Waterloo Shooting Trial Continued Auburn, Ind..

"LOCKOUT'IS UNION CHARGE Union Charges Indianapolis Dairies With Causing “Lockout” Indianapolis. Cct. 11 — (U.W A committee of the milk wagon drivers' and dairy employes' union today was to appear before the state milk control board to charge Indianapolis dairies with causing a "lockout’’ through suspension of milk deliveries while strikes are in progress. Hngh Gormley, Indiana representative of William Green, president of the American federation of labor, urged that the state revoke licenses of dairies not on strike which have refused to deliver milk to homes, drug stores, groceries and other business establishments for five days. Action of the union was voted ' after discussions last night col- ' lapsed without an agreement to end suspension of deliveries over 400 city milk routes. The Indianapolis milk council stopped deliveries during strikes at the Weber Milk company. Capitol Dairies, Inc., and the Furnas Ice Cream company. Negotiations Intended to bring a truce in the three strikes and end the council's delivery suspenI sion order have made little pro- ' gress despite an endless series ofconferences and intervention of Gov. M. Clifford Townsend and the state labor 'department. Union officials rejected a fivepoint plan submitted by milk companies last night. It called for immediate negotiations for an agreement with the union and return to i work of employes now on strike, pending negotiations leading to i final agreement. Strikes Continue Indianapolis. Oct. 12 — (U.R) — . Strikes of truck drivers, helpers and loaders at 16 Indianapolis ' furniture stores continued today after efforts to open negotiations • failed. Leo M. Rappaport, attorney for several furniture stores, said he offered a proposal to open negotiations but that Joseph Williams. I president of Teamsters' and Chauffeurs' Union, local 135, which call- ‘ ed the strike, rejected the plan. The strike of union drivers of

! the Beech Grove bus line, also I called by the teamster#' and chanf-1 ferns' union, np American federation of labor affiliate, remained in I ' "status quo " Non union drivers : I continued operation of tho busses i The furniture truck drivers and . bus operators went on strike in demand for shorter hours, Increased wages and union recognition. Meantime, a truce until Thnrs-' day afternoon averted strikes at | wholesale grocery firms and a, bakery and restaurant supply | house. The truce was agreed upon at a I meeting of representatives of the wholesale firms and the state division of labor.
