The rabbit, quail and pheasant hunters are getting their guns greased up for next Wednesday when the season comes in and most ot them are superstitutious enough to believe that the early bird gets the worm. Colonel Lindbergh, lone eagle, is planning to return to the good old U. S. A., according to letters received by several well known citizens. He will mid it just about as difficult as ever to dodge the reporters. for he is still good copy and that's what they get paid for getting. Safety signs are being installed at the various corners in Decatur and your cooperation is again requested. Drive carefully and observe the signs, give attention to the-fellow lines and help the officials make this the best regulated city in the state. That would be a good reputation. Advertising pays. If it were not so, the millions annually spent for. this commodity would not be expended by the greatest merchants in the world. If you want to step up your business this year and next year and every year, give more time to preparing your copy and use this paper more often. Brazil has given up her efforts to control coffee prices by regulating shipments and after a sevenyear struggle, will pour twenty million bags of 132 pounds each into the world market. If that doesn't cause a flurry it won't be the fault of that nation. Seems to have been another fine but impractical idea. There is no depression in this locality, based on the business being done in the local bank, where • I clearings are more than a million and a quarter dollars a month and where a decided increas? in all totals are shown for the month of October. That’s a real thermometer for after all money and its circulation is what makes good or bad times. The duke and duchess of Windsor will tour the United States, visiting the centers of industry largely, looking at our public works and otherwise informing themselves on what is being done here to aid civilization and keep up with the 1937 program. They will he given a hearty welcome and will no doubt have a very delightful visit. Word from J. 11. Williamson of Findlay, Ohio, president of the Franklin Highway Association, sends word that an important meeting will be held at Wadsworth. Ohio, next Wednesday and he would like to have Decatur represented. We all should be interested iu maintaining a place on this coast to coast route. You will enjoy attending the meeting. •WrWßawx; asonw After January Ist, when the new law regulating state highways through towns and cities goes into effect, the state will pay for the

cleaning of these thoroughfare- 1 Under plans agreed to between the commission and the city, the work will be supervised locally as it has' been and a bill rendered to the state. This will ease the burden 1 some for it is after al) quite a job L to keep the streets looking spic . and span all the time. t — As the Thanksgiving season ap- > proaches it is well to he thinking > over the many things for which we 1 should be grateful. This nation is i > at peace with the world, prices of > farm products are better than avj erage, millions of men have re- I turned to work in factories and shop, we are much better off and happier than a few years ago, we live in a country that believes in ’ God, in helping humanity, in living under the Golden Rule. We have much to be thankful for. Tuesday's election again demon- ■ strated that the trend is with President Roosevelt. In Virginia , James 11. Price, openly a Roosevelt supporter, won easily over the j forces of Senator Byrd who has opposed the president. In every i instance where national affairs entered the campaign the favorable , action towards supporters of the .administration, was in evidence. It will be so next year and those . who expect or wish to gain office ■ as Democrats will wisely get on ■ i the band wagon. " ' ~~ Effective January Ist, one hour 1 parking in down town territory and ' no double parking, will be the law , in Decatur, under an ordinance now being adopted by the city , council. This is done of course to ; regulate traffic, prevent accidents and comply with the requirements of the state highway commission. The routes of state and federal . roads through this city will for the present at least and probably for several years to come, remain as they are now, unless we fail to obey the regulations as fixed by the commission which includes the mew parking rules. Maurice Early, political writer for the Indianapolis Star has made the startling discovery that the unfortunates of Indiana are getting “handouts” as he terms poor relief, for a total of more than seven million dollars in excess of 1 1929. Os course some one has to pay the bill and such money has to be raised by some form of taxation. Whether those who can pay must do so or whether we wish to return to the plans of former days when we just let the poor get along the best way they could, is a matter for one's own conscience. Perhaps we owe the unfortunates more than we used to give them, though there is of course a limit to which we can go along that line with safety. Let's be decently careful. i • There seem to be sufficient Republicans opposed to the off-year convention plan of Mr. Hoover, that even if he puts it over, he will have a tough time making it any thing but a frosty meeting. Most of those sly politicians realize that once they go on record the opposition has something to shoot at and instead of being on the offensive they immediately become defenders. Also it would be impossible for such a convention to adopt any program that would really mean sufficient to the average voter to excite him, for the conservatives would certainly not subscribe to it. Senator Borah is right in his contention that there is no legal machinery for the selection of delegates and that such a meeting would be an affront to the voters and so taken. GIVE FIGURES — (CONtini;ed from page one) _ taxes without penalty a consider-' able number of persons have made their payments. It was pointed out today that the major reason why the fall installment of taxes was lower taau thp spring is because many persona, make both payments in the spring. This is especially true of those who pay only small amountso Trade la A Good Town .— Decatur '

But Democratic leaders here recalled that VanNuys fought Minton’s nomination in 1934 with his own candidate. Reggie Sullivan, mayor of Indianapolis and added that there was no doubt but that Min ton would be on the side of the Democratic organization against VanNuys when the time comes. “Indiana is in fine shape politically," Minton asserted. “Governor Townsend has been doing a fine administrative job. and the party has no organization battles. I Moreover, it doesn’t look like the I Republicans will be in a position Ito put up a serious struggle in 1938." Minton was asked about the posI sibilities of former Gov. Paul V. i McNutt, present U. S. commission- ' er to the Philippine Island's, as the I Democratic nominee in 1940. MinI ton declared himself for McNutt I before sailing for Europe last sumI mer. | “Discussion of that now is a lit- , tie premature.” Minton said, “but I there definitely is McNutt-for-presi-I dent sentiment and he may be an I important factor when the 1940 I campaign takes shape.” ‘ “What about La Guardia's reI election in New York?” he was asked“He's much more of a new dealer than he is a Republican." Minton . shot back. “I wish we had a lot I more like him. That can't be considered a defeat.” Minton declined to comment on ■ the legislative program before the special session of congress opening Nov. 15. and added that he will be ! unable to attend Governor Town- ! send s 14-state farm conference I here next Monday at which Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.

for the right to guide party poll- . cies. Effect of the statements by Landon and other influential leaders was a crystalliation of opposition sentiment. Although the most outspoken opponents are not members of the committee, the overpowering influence of their sentiment appeared to have forced the committee to switch its plans. John D. M Hamilton, national ' chairman. 1936 campaign manager, and hitherto principal supporter of the Hoover plan on the committee, said last night he did not believe the committee should “at this time" set a time and place for the interim meeting. Motivating influences in this abrupt change iu committee sentiment appeared to be the statements of six leading party members: Landon; Col. Frank Knox. Landon's 1936 running mate; Sen. Ar- : thur Vandenberg. Mich., frequently mentioned as a presidential candidate in 1940; Sen. William E. Borah. Idaho, veteran insurgent; Rep Joseph W. Martin. Jr., Mass.,

Hamilton told a press conference 1 1 that "appointment of a policy committee of 75 or 100 members should be the first step looking toward a later national meeting.” Martin, leader of the committee j opposition to the plan, later said he ; had no objection to the appointment of a "program committee” but reiterated his opposition to a party: . meeting in 1938. He had announced previously that he believed a convention in January or February. 1939. “might be of real benefit.” "I can say definitely.” he added, “that the committee will not approve a meeting in 1938.” He declined to say how many opposition votes had been pledged but indicated he was satisfied with the success of the last minute cmpaign urged by Republican representatives and senators.

MINNESOTA MAN' HUSK CHAMPION: Ray Hanson Wins National Corn Husking Championship ! Marshall. Mo., Nov 5 —(UPi I The new national corn husking ' champion was driving back to his ! 1480 acres near Bingham, Minn., today to do his work. He had his own ■ corn crop to get in. Ray Hanson was something like 1 a tortoise among the hares yester- j day out at the Weber farm, bin when the 80 minute race was over, he had a pay load amounting to 1.- ! 497 pounds net, and had beaten the' other best 19 corn huskers in the i country. They outdistanced him from the i I time the starting bomb exploded,! and when the contest was over, I Hanson's Wagon load looked small ' .ompared with some of the others, ■ but his corn was cleaner. There wasn’t so much to be deducted as penalties for husks in the wagon ; and so he won. It rained all afternoon rnd the original crowd of 103,000 war near--1 ly dispersed before the results were announced. WhenhHanson took oft his glasses and started down the quartermile - rows he hadn't so much of a gallery : sloshing along in the mud after him j yelling and shouting, as did the favorites. He wasn’t interested, , either in showing off to th-3 crowd I and tossing half-cleaned corn just to I prove that he could keep one or two ' ears in the air, or rattling against , the wagon’s bangboard, at one time. 1 “When it started raining'' he said I “1 kney it was going to be hard on tile fellows who didn't shuck clean so 1 used a little extra care in j getting the husks cff. Rain on a I husk is just like water on a .blot-
