Right now is the time to buy your Red Cross button and aid the annual roll call. Only twenty-four shopping days until Christmas. It may not seem Possible but it’s true. Santa is coming December 6th. Plan to bring the youngsters in to watch him and his reindeers. They will enjoy it. The Red Cross had $675 of its SI,OOO quota raised Saturday and will go on until they are over the top and some to spare. It's a great cause and you surely want to help it along. Make this a good week by advertising. We offer you daily opportunitities to reach the people \ and to tell them your message. It costs but little and the returns are sure to be satisfactory. According to reports, various cities in Indiana are being flooded , with ten dollar counterfeit bills. It may be well to examine those you handle and of course if they are bad and come from strangers, report to the police. You may help in breaking up the gang. You can get your 1938 auto license any time between December, 10th and the 31st and if you expect to take a pleasure drive on New Year's day, it will be safest to have it by that time. Orders are that the 1937 plates will be no good after the 31st. Better get in early and have it donePerhaps no item that appears in the newspapers is of such general and consistent interest, as the weather. For that reason we have! arranged for a new and complete' service, to run each Thursday, predicting the weather for the following week. Follow it and decide for yourself whether or not it is dependable. When things get heavy at the White House and President Roose-, velt begins to get dizzy as a result of the burdens of his important duties, he wisely sets things in order, closes his desk and goes fishing. He is doing it now off Miami and will stop on his way back over next week-end for a short visit at Warm Springs, Georgia. The football season is practically over, except those special exhibitions in Pasadena and New Orleans on New Years day. The season has been a good one. with numerous upsets and only one major team, Alabama, coming through undefeated. Now the basketball fans go into action with the hot I stove league discussing the trades in baseball. The lull in business the past few weeks, call it a recession or what you will, is really just a final gasp ■ of the 1929 depression. Recover-’ ing from the depths of that onej has proven a big job and of course it must have an occasional slowing up. That was predicted by all I

Tthe wise men several years ago. Hut President Roosevelt is meeti ing it and will solve it, so do not be alarmed. Mayor Bangs is awaiting the deI vision of Judge Clawson of Marion In his impeachment trial. The court heard the evidence and took it under advisement after saying however that he couldn't understand why the mayor failed and refused to obey orders from the court of jurisdiction. That probably is not causing the mayor to sleep calmly but he is a scrapper and may be enjoying it. We hear much these days about who is for labor and who is not, most of which talk, we believe is pure propaganda. In a community like Decatur, every one is for labI or, recognising in those who work with their hands, the very backbone of America. We want them to have every right to which they are entitled, to live happily and to aid in keeping the old ship going in a straight and steady course and the fine thing about it is that labor here has no quarrel with any one I else. They just attend to their business and let others do the I same. It won't be long now until poli-' tics will start getting warm for next year's election is important, particularly because of the fact that almost every local office is to, be filled. The county will elect a judge, senator, representative, audi-, tor, clerk, sheriff, treasurer, surveyor and assessor. The city will i choose a mayor and council, the ■ townships will name trustees. Besides this there will be the state I and congressional elections, with , the primaries in May, conventions in June and the big battle nextf November. So get ready for plenty of politics. Business is good in Decatur, re- ' gardless of the few squeals you may hear. If any of those complaining will compare notes with a few years ago, and will show you actual figures, you will find we are still running along nicely. Os course there must be an occasional slowing up but fundamentally we are sound and we anticipate a wonderful 1938. Plans for build-, ing a number of new homes here , are now on and if the proposed I new plan of President Roosevelt goes through, so that those so de-. siring may borrow 90% of the funds necessary to build a home, watch for a real boom. The civil service has made more' inroads into the American system of political parties. Election board inspectors and ballot clerks at Milwaukee were compelled to take examinations before they were allowed to serve at the polls last November. Some 350 workers, who: were formerly appointed by partyl chairmen, were chosen by this* method. We believe that the best assurance of an up-an-up election: and count of the ballots is to get , persons of opposite political faiths ’ on the board. Each party head knows before he names his representatives that they will not tolerate any funny business. When a Democrat is watching a Republican, and vice versa, the chances of any crookedness being pulled is as remote as it ever will be. o 4 * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two • 1.

The Federal Housing Administration issued a commitment to insure a $7,000 mortgage on the property which is located in Topeka, Kans. A feature of the house is the large master bedroom with open fireplace. The plan permits the addition of an extra bedroom over the garage at a future date, if desired.

When nature smiles on Adams County soil And the farmer applies bis labor and toil, He is sure to reap most bountiful crops. Counted in tons as his sweat is in drops. Then why should you go hence to get you a home When Adams County offers the best that is known? If you have energy and fairly good health You can get you a home and accumulate wealth. I But you must apply your labor and toil , And never neglect to tickle the soil. For this must be done in all country’s known 1 Unless you should reap what others have sown. —R. E.
