Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every Where, at any and ah times These are those October days 1 with bright blue skies you have < heard so much about. Order Crystal White Sugar, plenty of it. You know it's a pro-. duct that won't spoil and it’s always good. Democratic headquarters are open and you are cordially invited to visit the rooms over this office any time. The fans are up on their toes as the Pirates and Cubs fight it out for the championship. The big series will be on next week. Bluffton's annual street fair is in progress and that's always the signal for a lot of folks to enjoy their annual reunion, get together and a good time. Give to the Krick-Tyndall plant I rebuilding fund. This is not intended to hurt or worrv you but to help you by a revival of business that can be deny in no other way. Putting a hundred men back to work on steady jobs is worth something to any community. That's what the rebuilding of a modern plant for the Krick-Tyndall Company will mean. ——c: Merchants who are wide awake 1 will profit by advertising heavier than usual at this particular per-' iod. The people are preparing for winter and are deeply interested in what you have to offer. The large and enthusiastic crowd that attended the smoker at Demo- . cratic headquarters expressed con- , fideuce in the results and their ; , readiness to get busy to see that , the victory is a decided one. The new wage and hour law be- j , comes effective October 24th and effects every industry which does an interstate business. It will be well for you to get posted for after all disobeying federal acts is never a very remunerative method, i ( The collectors tor the Krick- | Tyndall fund will start to work I next Monday morning and continue until the job is completed successfully. The preliminaries arc being made this week aud the gen- j I oral committee is busy with plans. — Less than two weeks for you to . 1 qualify as a voter if you have never registered, have moved or changed your name. Don t put it off any longer. Go to the county clerk’s office and see that your name is properly listed on the registration cardsThere is only one kind of sugar for the folks of this community and that's Crystal White, made by the Central Sugar Company right j here in old Decatur. During the , present JKi-day campaign they will spend for labor and beets and that's sumetjung for any city to crow about.

! Judge DeVosS. J. Fred Frucbte, j j Mayor Holthouse and others ad- ■ dressed the voters at the smoker j j aud all the candidates were Introduced and spoke briefly. It was a ! good session and the boys are at | . work. The election comes six j weeks from today and there is I ' much work to be done If we would I ; get out the vote and see that they ; 1 vote right. If they are bound to have a war over in Europe they might as well get at it and have it over. We don't see the need of it and still ; feel that war doesn't help either side, win or lose, but perhaps we | j don't understand ail the problems ; of operating a government over 1 there where the army is the lead- I mg business and about the only means of a livelihood for millions ’ of boys and young men. The threatened railroad strike. I dated October Ist, looks serious.. | The officials of the lines insist ' that a 15% decrease in wages is ■ necessary while the men say the | way to cut overhead is by reduc- 1 ing hours. It s a deadlock with the men voting almost ninety per cent in favor of a walk out. Aud a railroad strike —if you can re- 1 member the old days when we had them —is something to really tie , up the nation. It may be neees-1 1 sary for the government to inter- ( , cede and perhaps that's what the I bosses and the men want. The i problem will attract more and! . more attention as the next ten! days roll around. Usually the Old Guard uews < papers publish an analysis of the | vote in Maine. They didn't this year. For one thing, the state I ticket as well as the three con- [ gr< ssional nominee* all on. nly en- < dorsed the Townsend plan. Also . Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of j the Republican national committee : , was too busy "interpreting" southern Democratic primaries for the ; CrOR press. So there was silence i as to the figufes from Maine. The j truth is that the Democrats showed astonishing gains in Maine, i aggregating 10 per cent over the votes cast in the last presidential ! election. This year Gov. Barrows j received a total of 156,54 b. coinpared with the Landon vote of 168,823 in 1936, a Republican loss , of 12,274. But the Democratic 1 nominee for governor this year received 142.846, as compared with President Roosevelt s vote of 126.333 in 1936, a Democratic- gain of 1 1 1 1 16,513. There was therefore a reversal of 28.787 votes in two years ■ Among the other interesting j items in the Journal of Commerce was that August sales reports indicate increased retail trade —a circumstance that is typical of the earliest stages of business upturn, i Likewise it was recorded in this solemn journal of facts, and figures, and coiqioration sentiment that I steel ingot production in August was the largest in ten months and that carloadings — which is the technical measure of railroad ac- , tivities had jumped, to the extent; of 30.000 carloads in a week. It is • also mentioned in the same journal that the New York department j store sales had hopped up over; last year's trade, an d another fugitive item was to the effect that | the steel companies were shelling ' out a hundred million dollars to - expand their plants. These tilings i naturally do not assure that we are I going to be prosperous for ever and a day. any more than does thr twenty-live billion dollar increase! in the value of all securities listed i on the New York Stock Exchange . over what they were when the New Deal began its devastating I career. ft would, however, be; rather difficult to find, in the condition illustrated by the wide-1 spread increase of business, any- ! thing to brace up the views of the professional pessimists who are j ! trying to scare the country into a ' ret urn to reactionism. —By Charles I Michelson. o » J , Trade la A Guud Toon —- Decatu* 1
