Are you enjoying the autumn with it's bright foliage, blue skies and delightful temperature? It will soon be over and now is the time to breath this fresh air and look at the loviest pictures of nature of the year. ■BBSSMS IMi ■ ■ ■■ ■ Almost every merchant up and down the street has signed a contract for advertising hi the Daily Democrat during the next year. Os course we appreciate it and will do all we can to make it pay you excellent returns. Halloween is over and the youngsters Can now begin to plan- for Thanksgiving, the next holiday of importance to them and it's not too early to start being good so that Santa Claus will bring you that sled, doll or airgun. Will Erwins new job will give hint plenty of material to write about but we would bet a few lead nickels he will never put into story many of the real incidents that he discovers by having a ticket to the inside parlors of his partyMerchants who have used consistent advertising the past year tell us they are more than pleased with results. Your name in the paper every day will help a lot. but if feel you can do it by once a week advertising, we will be glad to assist you in doing that. The greatest asset any common ity can have is the full cooperation of its citizens. We have that nere and we are sure it has had much to do with the growth of the past few years. Keep it up and this will continue to he pointed out as the best town of Its size in the middle west. The run at the sugar factory will be, over in about three weeks, after the most successful campaign in the history of the mill. While the tonnage has not been as large as in other years the content has been very satisfactory and those in charge feel they have done well for a rainy season. The jokesters who send in false fire alarms are in business that may prove to have a serious roar back for that's a rather expensive proposition. Each run of the department costs money and if the police can pick up those who send in fake calls, they wall be prosecuted to thd fullest extent The Decatur Yellow .Jackets and' the Bluffton Tigers battled to a draw in their football contest, which indicates there isn't a great deal of difference and the dance ■ and good time by players and boost ers after the game, gave further' evidence of the cordial feelings between* these old school rivals in the field of sport. It seems quite probable that Mr Hoover will succeed m holding his I convention next spring, giving him and others so inclined the opportunity to explsin how Mr. Koose-: i

velt has made a serious mistake in' making general conditions battar and how they could have done the job to their greater satisfaction. Perhaps he can be induced to even explain why he didn't. The Gates faction of the Hoosier G. O. P. finally elected Will Erwin as national committeeman while 'the compromise gave the Emison crowd Archie Bobbitt as state | chairman. It was a bitter fight and the sad part of It is that the com- • promise was so forced that it 1 doesn't solve the problems which have tormented them the past year. The Japs killed three Englishmen and the ' Britains are mad | They declare it will take more than apologies to appease them and de- ‘ maud reprisals. The spots seems 1 to be getting hotter and hotter and if they slip through without some real fighting it will be a surprise to many who have followed the up-side-down business of that part of the world the past several years. Tuesday will be election day in six or seven states, the most interesting contests being in New York City and Detroit where mayoralty fights are on. The predictions are that LaGuardia will win easily in the big methropolis and that Reading will defeat O'Brien in Detroit. However these advance returns have sometimes proven bad guesses, so perhaps we had all better wait for the official returns. The famous clergyman was 4 transferred to another city Shortly after going there he required the services of a physician and on the advice of one of fata parteMon- , era called in a doctor noted for, non-attendance at services He proved very satisfactory to the clergyman but for some reason could not be induced to render a bill. Finally the clergyman, becoming alarmed at the inroads the bill might make in his atipened,: went to the physician mid said: 'See here, doctor. I must know how much I owe you." After some arguing the medico replied: "I’ll tell you what I'll do. reverend. They say you're a pretty good clergyman and you seem to think I am a fair doctor. So I'll utake this bargain- I'll do all I can to keep you out of heaven —if you do all you can to keep me out of hell. And ii won't cost either of us a penny."—Wall Street Journal. OUT FOR A GOOD TIME: The list of Indiana's automobile tragedies has been increased by' the crash in Road 67 just east of Oaklandon, in which two men were killed and four injured. One of the dead apparently was an innocent victim of the speed craze. He was killed when the other car struck 1 the sedan 'n which he was riding alone. The five you! hs were headed for Anderson, “out for a good time, ' one of the survivors said. Their conception of a good time apparently included traveling at an estimated speed of 80 miles an hour at night over one of the most congested highways in this part of the state. State police had chased the quintet, but were outdistanced. The* accident occurred on a curve. If the same high speed had been ■ maintained at that point, the driver • apparently could not hold the car in its lane. Most of the sweeping curves can be negotiated at 60 miles, hut few can be taken safely al higher speeds. There is little that can be done' to avert tragedies under such cou-i ditions. but. if responsibility can be placed on drivers guilty of Violating all the rules of safely, steps should be taken to bar I hem permanently from operation of any inot-J or vehicles. There should be no second chances for such offenders. They have forfeited all right to use the roads, where they are a menace •to th< traveling public. That penalty alone will provide adequate safeguards for innocent victims of! the speed craze.—lndianapolis Star. _ c ,_ — | i Trade In A Good Town — Decatur

Lyons of Australia recently r received a letter enclosing a onepenny stamp from a man who desI cribed himself as “a patriotic Aus- ; | tralian." The patriot had read an announcement tliat the national debt es Australia was 1,252,911,646 pounds and one pence. He sent the penny to "reduce die debt to a round figure.” Premier Lyons replied, expressing his thanks luit a checkup revealed Australia lost two pence on ■ the transaction. The gift was more than offset by the cost of the stamp on the official letter enduing the receipt and by the cost of a telephone ca’l from the Prime Minister's office to the Treasury to arrange for the disposal
