The turkey crop is reported big and the prices very reasonable, another reason why you can plan with safety to observe Thanksgiving day. The hunting season opens tomorrow and those who enjoy this sport will be out bright and early to bag a few quail, rabbits and pheasant. Be careful. Old Indiana took Ohio State across iq a football game last Saturday, upsetting the dope bucket and knocking the Buckeyes out of the race for the Big Ten championship. Bo McMillen seems to have a lighting bunch of Hoosiers. Mrs. Hahn, called by some “Arsenic Anna,” convicted of the murder of Jacob Wagner at Cincinnati, refuses to believe it and is planning a determined fight for her life. She was convicted byeleven women and one man and the evidence must have been convincing. The death of Dr. C. L. Blue, 6S. of Tocsin, brings sorrow to this community as weil as his own for he was well known here as a high grade citizen as well as an outstanding physician. Death came In his car near Tocsin as he was answering a call from one ot his patients. It's the season for slippery pavements and from now until late spring drivers of cars cannot be too careful. Spinning along at from fifty to eighty miles, any thing can happen and it's all over in a few seconds. Keep control of your car so that whatever occurs you can manage it. This is Armistice week. Nineteen years ago yesterday we celebrated the end of a war to end war and three days later when the official news came in we observed it again. Just now the sacrifices made then seem to have been w asted, at least in a number of the European countries, but America is at peace and if the desires of the people control, as they will, we will continue at peace with the world. Bishop McConnell of New York City, one of the present day leaders of Methodism will preach at the M. E. church here next Sunday, giving all an opportunity to hear this learned and forceful man. He was formerly president of DePauw University and in 1928 was president of the Federal Council of Church of Christ in America. Decatur is honored by his visit and all will be anxious to listen to his words. Serving on a jury during a murder trial is by no means a pleasant job and the action of the eleven women and one man who convicted Mrs. Anna Hahn was courageous and was proof that women will measure up to a severe duty when called upon to do so. No doubt the women jurors were favored by the defense because they are supposed to be more emotional. Whatever the future result of the case we

I cannot help admiring these ladles who stood the ordeal and made igood. The slight lull In business generally over the country has as it always does affected Industry and the outlook for the winter Is not' us bright as It was a few months ago. In this particular community we are fortunate In having diversi tied industries which so fur have been effected but slightly. We hope that every one will cooperate in such manner as to continue the the operation of shops and bus-1 iness. so that all may be hujjpy and self supporting. There Is no reason why mer-. I chants here should not be optlm-, istlc. The sugar factory pay roll to the farmers, a bonus to the factory workers, every plant oper-! ating fairly well, the farmers receiving average prices for their i crops. They all need wearing ap- j parel. foods, hardware, shoes, dry goods, drugs and every thing else. Naturally they read the Daily Democrat and they read the advertisements. If you wish to increase j the receipts of your business, advertise consistently. Pity the poor county clerks at the 1938 election: Or maybe the Democratic and Republican county chairmen need our sympathy most. Under the present Indiana registration law, voters who> failed to vote in the last two consecutive I elections have lost their rights of franchise. Voters who did not go to the polls in the 1934 and 1938 elections were notified by the county clerks that they were disfranchised unless they asked for reinstatement. They were given 30 days to respond. The majority of, I course, ignored the notice. For ex- j ample, out of 25,000 notices sent I out in Allen county, only 3,000 voters replied. To get these voters < re-registered next year so they can vote in the May primaries, and the fall election is going to mean day and night work for leaders of both parties. And for the county clerks, , too. How many persons holding public jobs through the merit system do you think are going to get ! out and work on registration? Few. if any. They are outside politics. They should care whether ( people vote or which party wins, j But those who hold appointments I through party victory are going to ‘ be vitally interested in registration. < Next Monday will be McMillen 1 l day in Decatur at which time the , employes of the various industries t of this organization will entertain in honor of Dale W. McMillen. founder of the business. Visitors will include bankers, railroad heads, board of trade officials and other leading business men from ’ Chicago, New York. Cleveland, De- . troit, Fort Wayne, and other cities and on the program at the bani quet to be held Monday evening in 1 the Catholic Community Center , building at Fort Wayne, will api pear Governor Townsend and . Lieutenant Governor Schricker--1 This community appreciates the wonderful progress made by this company and will sincerely coopi erate with the employes in extend- j - ing every honor to this man who ’ t is credited with having made the - greatest advancement in agricUis tural pursuits of any one in the . United States during the past five - years. The occasion is an importi ant one for Decatur for while the 1 employes are showing their faith . and approval of “the boss” we are l given she opportunity of selling our i city and county and this entire section to those of the outside world, who do not realize perhaps ' how- important this great agricul- ; tural section is. , t o Boy Bicyclist Is Killed By Auto 1 Columbus, Ind .

Armistice Day Memorable to Two Men, Former Mortal Enemies, Now Friends!

Fare Reunites Pair Years After War By GLEN PERKINS International Illustrated News Writer SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—Captor and captive! Foes to the death in 1918 on the Marne, Joseph Schultz and A1 j Reck recall World war days as j Armistice is observed. Rifles spat fire, hand grenades j sputtered and blasted and overhead j giant shells droned through the air and fell with ear-splitting crashes! This was 19 years ago as the two j youths—one in field gray of the German shock troopers; the other, the khaki of the American army—faced each other in the darkness before the Marne river. Both the German soldier and the American tried to kill each other during the Marne battle, one of the mo3t terrible four hours of fighting in the history of the World war. Reck, a lieutenant in command of a Company M 109th infantry platoon directly on the bank of the Marne, was one of the 11 men in his outfit left alive after the fighting, with Schultz in the vanguard opposing him. Reunited Years Later Reck was wounded and lay three days on the battlefield before being picked up by Schultz's regiment, the Immenstadt mountain division of the infantry in the Hindenberg western command. He was taken back across the pontoon bridge just a few hours be- j fore Allied airplanes destroyed it' ! with bombs. He spent six months j

POWER FACTS ARE OUTLINED - u. S. Chamber Os Commerce Issues Pamphlet On Power Facts Washington Nov. 9—(Special)— 1 The role of power in the upbuild ing of America is reflected in a pamphlet—" Facts about Power”— issued by the Chamber of Cone merce of the United States. These facte, from official un<i authority live sources, show that the United States not only leads the world ar an actual and potential power ustng j country but also leads in the use of power per worker. It uses more ! than a third of the world’s output of electric energy and has nearly a third of the world's developed wa- | ter power. Some of the strking facts about power are: Including transportation—principally the automobile —the total power capacity of the United States in- ' creased from 64 million to 1,663 mil- | lion horsepower in the thirty years from 1899 to 1929. The power capacity of stationery plants supplying American Industry I in 1929 was the equivalent of 780,000,000 workers. in the manufacturing industries alone each worker had, in power, the equivalent of 48 helpersj Power in the form of electric en- | ergy supplied by public utilities increased from 39 billion kilowatt hours in 1919 to 113 billion kilowatt hours in 1936. Power distributed to urban and suburban homes doubled in the perj iod 1927-1936. Power distributed to farm homes | increased from 860 million kilowatt hours to 2,014 millions In the same period. In the decade from 1926 to 1936 the number of urban and suburban homes supplied by utilities increased from 15.713.968 to 20,736,000 and the farms supplied, increased from 309.125 to 915,000. The average annual use of utility service by domestic customers increased' from 428 kilowatt hours in 1926 to 719 kilowatt hours in 1936. Os the total electric energy produced privately owned utilities supplied 95.3 per cent In 1936. Approximately two-thirds of the powe rsupplied by central plants is produced from fuel, and one-third by water power. Os the country's total energy supply 97.4 per cent comes from fuels and 3.6 per cent from water power. Due largely to the steam turbine TjST aa rkrrkm CCC Colds V V V Fever 1 hiuitl.
