Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Nothing very serious about the | nation as long as her bonds sell i I ’ above par when they pay only from ( two to three per cent interest. The Daily Democrat now goes to - 3,600 families, almost all of them ' in this trading radius, a wonderful opportunity to send your message out through advertising. There are a lot of cars still! carrying the 1937 license tags and j 1 in three weeks the extra period of, 1 leniency will be up. You can get ■ 1 into the bureau now without delay ■ There is considerable controversy now as to whether the groundhog saw his shadow, but we 1 might as well argue about that as a lot of the other subjects hat l take un so much space in the news- ’ paper and on the radio programs. Please do not sign some one else s jiaine to contributions you send to your newspaper for publication. That might get you into trouble if turned over to postal • authorities. You have no right to use the mails wrongfully. The 'little business men " got off , to a bad start, due to the fact that those invited to join the 1,000 included several who apparently prefer to play politics than to get ■ down to real matters and might aid the average business man and j manufacturer. State highway commission workmen are trimming the trees on the streets over which the stale routes operate-. Nothing serious about it. they are just trimming off the branches that hang over the streets, so they won't blow down in some spring windstorm and cause a bad wreck. Joe DiMaggio wants $40,000 to knock a few home runs for the New York Yankees this year and has turned down an offer of $25,000. He was voted the most valu- , able player in the country and evidently figures that the wise thing , to do is to get tjie big money while he is ill demand. The merchants who are up on their toes right now are making a good showing while those who sit still and wait for spring will have the usual slowing up. This is the time to advertise. Turn your stock over and buy new goods for spring. That's what the people want and that's what will make your business show a good year. According to a bulletin from Agricultural News Service not more than half the people living in the villages of America, own their owm homes. We had the idea that from 75 to 90% of the people in the small communities were home owners, but according to the i house-to-hous.e canvas taken by the I department of agriculture, this is; not true. The dime is one ot the insiguiiicaul pieces of money in this coun-

try but If you can get enough of them, they count up. A movie actor started a "inarch of dimes’’ to the White House recently, to i aid the fund for fighting infantile paralysis and an army of clerks I Is still busy i polling the letters' and tossing the diyies into the I fund. So fur they have opened 384.900 letters for a total of about $40,000. A New York research and labor relations specialist has found that persons over 40 years of age are better satisfied with working conditions affecting their efficiency, wellbeing and happiness than younger employes. In tests made of 7,500 men and women depart-| ment store employes in six states. | the specialist discovered a "more ; settled attitude toward life" among ; older men and women. —Richmond ‘ Palladium The Huntington Herald-Press has j increased its subscription price to I six dollars a year, because of a 40% increase in the cost of production the past few years. Other newspapers, in fact almost all of them, have made similar boosts. We are sticking to the old price of three dollars a year and hope to continue to do so. Subscribe now at that price if you receive the paper by mail in a one hundred mile radius of this city. Os course, this newspaper as many others do, welcomes coutri- - butions to the "People’s Voice'; column, which however doesn't | mean that you can use this column to libel some person or group with whom you wish to get even- Under the law, we would be liable slid so would the writer. Os course we will not publish unsigned articles. We will, if you request it, withhold your name, but We insist that your articles are more effec- I tive if signed. • Senator Minton will give a reception for High Commissioner McNutt when he arrives in Washington and three thousand iuvitations are being prepared for the 1 occasion. That should be some j party and of course its significant i since there is so much talk that the former governor may be the choice for the presidential nomi- 1 nation in 1940. Paul McNutt is a great man, able and courageous, experienced and with a host of supporters that will go down the line all the way with him, and for him. f Several commentators and polit- ’ leal writers declare the way to J balance the budget is to spend i f less. Sounds reasonable but in the | next column, we find a demand of the small business man for a huge fund from which they can borrow; in another is the urge for a larger navy to cost a billion, the farm-1 ers need continued relief and before we get through, we find about every one looking for government aid while howling for decreased j costs and lower taxes. After all | two and two are still four and no j trick has yet been discovered by j which we "eat our cake and have i it.” I The electric department of the Deeattir Light and Power plu.l showed a profit of $73,000 for last year and the water department a profit of over SIO,OOO. The showing is excellent and >is due of |1 course to the fact that business ; was unusually good last year and ] there was a decided increase in the j use of the current. The reserves I on hand will enable the city to 1 keep up their splendid plant, plan for the future and provide a constantly decreased light and power rate, while at the same time holding down the city tax rate to a low figure. Decatur is in a first ' class financial position. Let's keep) it there and let s keep going on the efforts to make this the finest | place to live in all the laud. I .
