We Salute You, Mr. McMillen With admiration and respect, we greet you Mr. McMillen, on this day, dedicated to you by your employes and participated in by a host of loyal citizens of this community and many leading and successful business men from far and near. Decatur considers it a happy privilege to take part in today’s celebration, honoring you and the McMillen Company because of your marvelous strides in industry designed to aid the farmers of this section. You came to us in the dark days of the depression with a promise of reopening the sugar plant, providing a market for the sugar beet growers, employing labor and again starting the great mill which had been silent several years. And you have more than made good. Not only did you keep your promises but added for good measure, the soya bean, feed and fertilizer plants and other auxiliaries that have aided every one immeasurably in this territory. We assure you the good people we represent in Adams county appreciate more than mere words can express, your fine spirit in every thing you have accomplished. We repledge you the support of every one here. If sincere cooperation and fair treatment, mean anything, you have it here, to the limit of our supply. We are proud of the fact that the entire nation is watching your progress and marveling at the rapid growth of the McMillen plants. All are important links in the agricultural program of America and we realize how fortunate we are to have such an institution as yours in our city. It completes as fine a group of diversified industries as can be found in any community of moderate size, in the country. These advancements have been due to your high class method of dealing, to your ability to look ahead, to the wonderful corps of assistants you have surrounded yourself with, and to the courage and excellent judgment demonstrated. This is a proud day for you. Mr. McMillen, because this celebration was planned and is being given by the hundreds of employes who recognize in your leadership, the fairness and wisdom which they respect. We are happy with you and know you have earned the congratulations and good wishes you are receiving today. May you and your business long continue to prosper in the work which is aiding many thousands in the great* game of living and being happy. We salute you. JOHN H. HELLER, Publisher Daily Democrat.

Indiana football teams did rather I well in Saturday's games, all things considered. Notre Dame defeated the strong army team in the annual classic, Indiana scratched out | a three-to-nothing victory over lowa and Purdue tied Wisconsin. The postal census of those un-l employed or employed only part time will start tomorrow here and all over the nation. It is of vital importance that every person who is idle reply to the questionnaire card. It's late fall and there are signs of the brand of weather that makes every one wish they could load up and go to Florida or California or some where else in the land of sunshine aud warm breezes. Bruce Barton, newly elected Republican congressman says he is not going to make speeches or try to get his name in the papers. Believe it or not. The special session of congress is on. Here’s hoping they do their job with speed and with such wisdom as will help business and general conditions. President Roosevelt asks all to cooperate in the unemployment census now being taken. It is important and will take but a few moments. Join the Red Cross, wear a button and be proud of it. There is no finer movement in the United States than this. McMillen Day — We salute you, Dale W.

No. After the toast has been given he may rise to acknowledge it and speak a few words. Q. When speaking to a person,, when passing on the street or in a public place, is it improper to call his name. A. It could not be termed improper but it is preferable merely to say, “How do you do.” Some people do not like for their names to be called publicly. Q. Shouldn’t a hostess wait for at least a half hour if a dinner guest is late? A. No. Fifteen minutes is the maximum length of time and she is perfectly justified if she dees not wiat longer than five minutes. Nothing is more rude and ill-bred than for a dinner guest to be late.

What makes the moral significance of this safety movement is the fact that we can, if we will, elirrfinate to a very large degree the appalUng dangers of modern life. We should realize and appreciate the avalue of a human being. Not all people seem to realize or appreciate that. The carelessness regarding human life is the great tragedy that No Hunting!
