Christmas seals on your pack ages make them look cheery and show those who see them that you have the real spirit for you are I thus aiding a great cause. You still have time to beat the ' big rush if you get your 1938 auto-, mobile plates and your license this■ week. After that it will be necesnary to get in line and wait. ——— Dr. Franks favors a middle of the road policy between the New Dealer and the reactionary which | means of course that nothing would be done. That wouldn’t get them far. With the farm income for this year nearly nine billion dollars, it's i the best since 1929, which isn t bad for those inclined to look on the pessimistic side of thing. Last call for the Good Fellows I club. You know Hext Saturday is Christmas and the buying and distribution has to be made before that, so if you are going to help, please hurry. Remember a subscription to the i Daily Democrat —only three dollars by mail within a hundred miles and $3.50 beyond that —makes the most delightful Christmas gift any one can receive. Don't get so busy with your Christmas shopping that you for get to join the Savings Club for next year's holidays. It's a wonderful system for saving easily so you will be ready for the big occasion when a few extra dollars help out so much. You can t shop early any more for Christmas but you can shop early this week and that's something for you still have a good chance for selection and a great display of wonderful goods hi the local stores. Watch the paper; and shop in Decatur. It pays. We are inclined to the belief that those who want to “redeal the New Deal” are Jnst hoping for a better hand. The present game, it has been proven is beyond their limit and the players are far too good for the “outs" who are willing to deal from the bottom, if it will put them back in. Schmeling, the prize fighter, won a $30,000 purse the other evening . and probably thought he was all fixed for Christmas, until he went to draw it and found that Uncle Sam had an attachment of it for $23,711 back taxes. He discovered that it’s as hard to beat that game here as it is in his native Germany. Be a Santa Clause this week. It’s the time of year when you can do that without being laughed at. You know this is the season when 4 days l ilr OmtmasWZ

I the fellow who is generous Is the I hero, the smart guy and the happy one. Help those who need it as well as the loved ones. Lets’ make i ‘it the most genuine Christmas lever. —T- | The Good Fellow fund Is growing and will be sufficient to take ! cure of the list, which is slightly i higher this year by the way than ' lit was last, but the more money ’ turned in the happier they can | make the youngsters. Drop a dollar in one of the boxes. It will make you feel more like Santa Claus. Industry likes Indiana and wants to locate here. Governor Town-, send wishes to distribute the faci tories over the state in those local- ■ ities where they are needed most that labor may be absorbed. He, lis wise, honest and awake. Farm-] , ing, labor, Industry, go hand in > hand to make a great community j and great state. We can have it. What will 193 S be? It will be what each community makes it. ( Decatur is in excellent position to; I enjoy the best year in her history. Several factories will add to their J facilities in one way or another, I I there is to be much home building and indications are that every one will be employed. We have. no depression here and there need i be none. It may irk you to drive at a reasonable rate but if you don't j you are almost sure to wind up ! with an accident that puts you in ' a class from which you will find I it difficult to continue your license. Indiana is tightening up on regulations regarding driving in the * campaign to lessen the number of . traffic accidents and the laws are laws are to be enforced. Isn’t it rather peculiar that the I committee chosen to work out the destiny of the G. O. P- should be I headed by Dr. Glen Franks, famous educator, after all the abuse heaped upon President Roosevelt for | seeking aid and advice from such a source. Wouldn’t think they would want any “brain trusters" I if they have been honest about their criticisms. Earl Crawford of the state highway commission assures us that the program for 1938 has not been fully made up and that he has Adams county in mind for some improvements. That's fine and we feel certain that with a proper organization here, not one that will be silent but one that will keep urging our needs, that we can have about what we want. The commission wants to be fair and will | do the best they can but naturally I they take care of those problems which are presented with the great ■ enthusiasm and for which they ; are thus convinced there is the greatest need. The G. E. here will distribute .'slß,ooo among Its employes, a fine ; Christmas gift that will be appreciated by those employed for this great corporation. When we think of the General Electric we think ( of one of the largest industries in the world, which it is, but it is not ' owned by a few individuals. Re- > ports show it has about 200,000 stockholders and that each of these t profit with the business. Besides ; this however they have plans 1 whereby those who work for and > with the officials, receive a share > of the net profits, much to the ■ I benefit of every one concerned.

If Indiana has an extra road cop It is my opinion he could te used to Rood advantage in Union township to teach those dark skin guys the rule of safety on the public highways. Just yesterday they ran over three shoats for one man, and j have killed lots of poultry. I will admit any one Is Hable to tun over ' a chicken now and then. But talk to I those who live near the road and 1 see If they don’t say these guys kill more than their share. When a man drives a car on the public highway faster than an ordinary locomotive travels on Its own track it is time to cat a halt. If something is not done to slow down those sun burnt guvs from Mexico some human will probably meet the fate of the shoats. Frank Mclntoch.
