Attend the Democratic meeting , at Monmouth Wednesday evening. Vote for DeVoss for judge. Let's support a home man who has earn ed this recognition. The Minton meeting inspired the ■ workers and they will be a busy bunch this week with plans to get out the vote. The girls in headquarters are busy this week with the rusk ol the close of the campaign. Final instructions to workers are being sent out and the many details for an election attended to. Last week's Life magazine had a picture of Candidate Willis practicing a speech before his wife at home. From what we have heard, Willis didn't practice long enough. —Greenwood News. This should, and no doubt will be. an active week in politics as the final details must be coinplet-! ed for the big event of November Bth. Visit headquarters and help arrange to get the vote out and to work on the big day. Tonight is the date for the long anticipated Callithumpian parade. Don't miss it for it's to be a dandy and following the parade will occur the free dance, planned by those in charge to complete a happy evening for every one. Many from here plan to go to Fort Wayne Wednesday evening to hear Daniel C. Roper, secretary of ' commerce, a leading business man ■ of America as well as a statesman of high standard. It should be the headline rally for the fourth dis-, trict. The Democratic party is the par ty of the present and of the ap-i proaching tomorrow. It is the party to which youth instinctively turns in these turbulent years. There is no time to wait for the Republican party while it fumbles its . shoelaces. —Kansas City Journal. I We only need about a thousand dollars to complete the campaign for the factory fund. Please give now if you intend to do so. The campaign has dragged along for more than a month and that s not the way we have always met propositions of this kind here be- I fore. There is no doubt that Judge 1 DeVoss will be elected to the appellate bench on November Sth. His friends here hope that Adams j county will give him a majority that will leave no doubt in the minds of the people of the state of the high regard in which he is ; held at home. Several new water mains are to be constructed in this city. Decatur is growing and there are i many problems of this kind to be met. New water lines, electric wires and sewerage is demanded.

■ as soon as a new section of the | city is built up. It creates quite a problem but it has been well handled by Mayor Holthouse and his assistants. Keep the good work going. | I There is certainly no reason why I Adams county should not give a three thousand majority. This is and long has been a Democratic stronghold and' those who have fought to maintain a democracy should be so happy with the progress made under President Roosevelt and Governor Townsend that they will be anxious to continue the great battle for the people. James I. Farley is a member of the banking and currency committee in Washington. He is capable and has taken a large part in the passage of some of the Im- [ portant laws enacted the past six , years. He 1s trusted by the presiI dent, is a tighter for his district, has the knowledge of proceedure that is necessary and will serve ' you best the next two years. Make I no mistake. ■ Only another week and the cam- I I paign ot 1938 will be over. It has ' not been as strenuous as some ' others but it is a very important ' one. Grave issues are at stake, par-1 ticularly the support of the greatI est president this nation has had , in decades. Give him that by electing men to office who a're in sym- | pathy with the New Deal, designed to help the laborer, farmer, bus- j iness man and manufacturer. The large crowd which listened i 1 to Judge DeVoss, Mayor Holt- I house, Congressman Farley and 1 i Senator Minton, heard the issues., i city, county, district and state fair- I ly an d intelligently discussed. 1 There was no abuse, no wild : promises. but an understandable i i explanation of what has been done l and what is expected to Im? done I if the people will support the pres ent administration. It was a splen- . did meeting. The general success for the j| Democrats over Indiana is admitted by even the most ardent Republican. Newspaper writers and others who guess on elections are unanimous in their prediction that VanNuys and the state ticket will win by a large majority. It is also accepted that the Demo-: j erats will elect mayors in most of < the cities and that except in occasional spots, the county tickets will be elected. I: The Methodist church has con- , eluded a month's observance of its I one hundredth year here, Dr. F. E. Fribley, superintendent for the i Fort Wayne district, delivering a powerful sermon last evening. This church has played a most > important pail in this community , ' I ' and under the able management of Rev. R. W. Graham, present pas- I tor, will continue to do so. Floyd ' Brittson, former Decatur citizen, j now a resident of Dallas, Texas. I I also spoke interestingly. We had the pleasure of a visit to a number of the new houses . recently erected in the north part i ot the city under the guidance of Dale W. McMillen who is getting a great thrill out of thus improving that section, providing wonder- , ful modern homes tor Decatur i citizens, making it the most attractive section here or in any other nearby city. The homes are j strictly modern, well constructed of fine materials, furnace heated. I i electric-plumbing and in every way : convenient. The lawns and the curbs are to be landscaped and in | a year or so Dierkes street will ’ be a popular drive. Another widely known and be- , loved citizen, D. J. Harkless, has : I been called from active life and | Decatur and Adams county citizens ■ mourn the loss.
