The lip stick used by the women of this country in a year was suf-, ficieht to paint 40,000 barns, but who in the heck would want to kiss a barn? Decatur stores have thousands of beautiful gifts, just what you want for the loved ones, for Christmas. Select yours now and have them I put away if you don't want to hide them in the closet. Use Christmas seals on your; packages and mail. They don't cost much and the funds are used to aid the fight against tuberculosis. The big campaign opened yesterday with W. Guy Brown as chairman. Old Santa in person will be here Monday, with his aide Slim and their deers and a pack of wolves. and a lot of stunts that will please, the boys and girls and which you will enjoy likewise. Come on and do your trading and have some fun. The best Christmas present this, nation can have will be an agreement between industry and labor and notice that the wheels will hum during 1938. The average person will take care of the rest l of it if they have plenty of work at good pay. Decatur merchants invite you to trade with them at this important season of the year. Buy your winter supplies now and get the greater use of them. Read the advertisements in this paper. They tell the story and make it easy. for you to get just what you want. Baseball magnates are meeting in Milwaukee this week and talk; * of trades of players is the big topic. And it’s not all talk. Before the week is over there will no doubt be some swapping that will surprise the fans and give them food for argument that will last until spring. The Pittsburgh football team acts like professionals, staging a sitdown strike on the Rose Bowl invitation, demanding a couple of. hundred each for spending money, a two weeks vacation and recognition of the entire squad of sixty men. Sounds like a lot for school boys to ask. Justice Willis Van Devanter, un-j til recently a member of the Supreme Court of the United States is visiting in Marion this week and having a good time. He is wise and of course refuses to comment on matters pertaining to the high court which he graced so long and so well. He and his sister, Mrs. Rariden, are meeting the folks they knew long ago and just visitin' around. Taking care of the unfortunates of this country when disasters occur is a big job and requires A big or ' ganizatiou with plenty of money for . i

expenses At this time the annual ’roll call of the Red Cross is In pro-1 gress and the quota for Adams county is SI,OOO. That amount has almost been raised but it is hoped | every one who can afford a dollar, . will join or renew his membership. Half the money is retained here and is used carefully as needed to relieve suffering and distress. j President Roosevelt suggests a' building program to revive business and in a special message to congress suggests aid in financing home construction up to -30% and wisely suggests that costs be held down. If that can be arranged there is no doubt that the nation i would enjoy the greatest boom of this kind ever known for millions would love to own their own homes. i with the thrill of building what t they want and it would assure goou ' times and busy ones for the next i several years. December 10th is the first day you can get your 1938 automobile , license plates and it will be well • to get in early and avoid the rush. Also we might mention again that the new driver licenses are not as easy as heretofore. For new drivers there are some regulations that , may cause inconvenience but ought to help in the fight against traffic accidents. The first drivers must ■ practice several weeks with some one and then report monthly for a year. Failure to do so means a ■ lot of trouble if an accident occurs or the state police catch up with I you as they are almost sure to do sooner or later. MORE HOMES: Strange thing about money and prosperity. The more that is spent. ( the greater is prosperity. Only ; when money ceases to work doi there come depressions. As a part of his program for. raising the standards of living for ' the “ill-fed. poorly clothed and badly housed, ' the President pro- . poses creOUXo those who will build homes. Under his plan, the government would guarantee 90 per cent of I money invested in the building of ■ homes. The emphasis will be plac-1 ed upon those which cost $6,000 or less. By paying 10 per cent of ■ this amount, the rest will be bor-I rowed from banks or building com-i panies. The government will' guarantee the loaners against loss, j In the past seven years there has been little home building. As a, i result, a large portion of those en-, gaged in this industry havie been idle or forced into other occupations. But they want to work at the trade with which they are familiar. They want to go back to their own work. As a result of this stagnation, I there is a very large percentage who are living in houses which are j far below the standards of decent j j living. Families are crowded to--1 gether. To own a home is one of the most primary instincts and ambitions of the normal man. It is the ambition of every young ' married couple, who wish to rear a family in a place which will furnish shelter and comfort. It is the ambition to have some place to which they can retire, in times of stress and trouble. But the fact remains that’ 60 per cent of our . people live in rented homes. To restore the carpenters, the brick-, layers, the plumbers to work and provide homes for the many is the dual goal. The plan is simple. It is merely ; to use the credit of the people for I the people. It merely says that those who work shall have the chance to own a place they can call their own. It means one more step towards economic freedom and liberty- And Instead of costing, it ! actually produces more wealth and greater prosperity. o 20 ZT days till (fliristmasi, -71
