Earl Peters will bring you a; great message. Hear him at Berne tomorrow night. Hear R. Earl Peters at Berne tomorrow evening. It s to be a regular Berne rally with eats and a good time. Give what you can and all you feel you can to the factory fund. Every tax payer and every citizen can afford to give something and , will feel better if he does. Plan to vote ou election day. It’s a great privilege and one that many perhaps do not fully appreciate. It's your opportunity to say who and what you favor in government. The warm weather has slowed business down considerably but the wise folks are buying now , when they can receive better attention and the best selection of goods. This is a fine time to pay taxes. The rush hasn't started and you can be speedily waited upon. County Treasurer Leichty will appreciate it if you will come in now for your receipt. Don't let the factory fund drag. l Within $2,300 of the goal we cannot let this fine enterprise go because of a lack of interest among ! the workers. Go after it boys and clean up the remnants. Remember that the subscriptions to the factory fund will be publish- | cd. showing the contributors and the amounts given. You want your name on that list for it shows j what you think of your community. And while helping with the cam- | paign, don't overlook the fact that the committee can use a few dollars. It costs money to operate a campaign and any donation you can make will be sincerely appreciated. Those who fear the rebuilding of the Krick-Tyndall plant would mean a recurrence of the dust nuisance should realize that the new factory would be built with the most modern machinery, designed to avoid any difficulties of that kind. The Decatur stores are filled with attractive articles of wearing apparel of every description and at surprisingly low prices. Now is the time to buy. With the upward trend of the markets, prices will be higher if you wait. Make your fall and winter purchases now. Don't burn leaves after four o'clock in the afternoon. That’s the warning from the police and those who do so may get into serious difficulties. The leaves are very dry and there is danger of a conflagration that might destroy

the property of your neighbor. Be careful about tossing a cigarette butt into a bunch of leaves and i cooperate with the authorities in handling the situation. The average cost of the Amer- , lean house this year is $3,559, ap--1 proximately SBSO less than it was 10 years ago. and yet the coin- ’ parison of a 1938 model is like 1 comparing two automobiles ot corresponding years. This observation was made today by R. W. Slagle, secretary of The Indiana Lumber & Builders' Supply Association, after an analysis of the 1 Department of Labor statistics on 1 average houses covering the 10year span. Ip 1928, the figures show, the average cost of all types j |of dwellings was $4,407. “It is j i estimated,' 1 Slagle said, "that to- | day's home buyer gets from 25 to 40 per cent more house for the ' money today than ever before. This I can readily be appreciated when i consideration is given the advances I in design, construction, equipment, the improvements in quality of i materials and the reduction in ■ 1 financing costs that have taken | place during the past decade. Only a few months ago the ‘ ! nation was told by Senator Vanden-; berg of Michigan that investigai tion of the Tennessee Valley Authority would prove a greater scanI dal than Tea Pot Dome. Instead, i it proved the great enterprise had ' been constructed without graft and 'at a lower cost than any other I government project. Under Re-, ! publican rule, the oil fields of the I ' nation were sold to the man who i contributed to the election of a ‘ Republican President. Under a | Democratic Senator, who investigated. one cabinet member was sent to prison. Others were smirched with scandal. The black ; bag was the symbol of party mor-1 ality. The New Deal has gone ■ through five years of spending the ' ' nation's money without scandal I i and above suspicion. Yet it is to ] the Republican party that Repub- . i lican orators invite you to return. I They must believe that the people have forgotten the sordid days of Harding and the Ohio gang. The police intention to curb the premature celebration of Hallow- i een should have the indorsement : and co-operation of parents. There I is no excuse for the annoyance of having the windows of stores, houses and automobiles smeared with soap during the next two weeks. That seems to be one of the most popular diversions of the exuberant youngsters at this time of the year. Citizens indulgently accept the penalty of upset garbage cans and other pranks on Halloween, but balk at being victims for weeks in advance. Chief 1 Morrissey has instructed policemen to put the lid on young demonstrators who are rushing the seasj on. They should be forewarned. Those under 16 will be taken to the Crime Prevention Bureau for a lecture. Those more than 16, who arc old enough to know better. will be slated at police head- ' quarters on formal charges. — Indianapolis Star. o ♦ ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two * * 1.
