Get ready to give thanks for the million things you have been blessed with and enjoy. How about some Christmas special sale days that will attract people from a wide area? It pays. The weather before and after election day was bright and sun shiny even if the day itself was somewhat dark and gloomy for some. Use Crystal White sugar. It's the best on the market and besides that is made right here. Every pound used is helping the laboring men aud tbe farmel ’ s iu this territory. Rev. Graham and others of the general committee for the KrickTyndall fund will start the first of the week to close the campaign for the SIO,OOO factory fund. They should have your support. The 1939 session of the legislature will he interesting and no doubt exciting, though there will probably be little accomplishment. Thee-house is so close that they probably will not agree on many proposed acts. Do your Christmas shopping early. Decatur merchants will be happy to assist you in making the right selections on lay-away plans and by starting next week you can save a lot of time and be more than pleased with results. Governor Townsend doesn't permit elections or election returns to worry him. He Lad a hard six weeks fight, did every thing he could to put over the Democratic tickets aud then went hunting, declaring the rest of it was up to the people and he would be happy about any verdict returned by them. After the state returns have been definitely determined and every one has settled down to regular business, politics will be tabooed for a year or so at ‘east. Therewill be no more general elections for two years and the people will enjoy a rest as will candidates and politicians. That's a good thing and we will all enjoy giving our entire attention to making this community a better one.

The Central Sugar Company will , I close its most successful campaign [ in u couple of weeks, turning out ' millions of pounds of the finest quality sugar made any where in > the world. Some three hundred men have had employment there. ! working in three eight hour shifts. It's u wonderful impetus a.l this , autumn season aud the community I appreciates it. — The many friends of Franklin Buckner of Bluffton are happy ov- j er his reelection as mayor of our! neighboring city. He has an excel- ! lent record for four years and with that experience will be able t< 1 help his home town all the more, i "Buck'* is a tine young man, de- | ' serving of all the successes that j ' come to him and we hope there will be many more. Those who think the state election was close are reminded that in 1926 James E. Watson was de- ' dared the winner over Albert Stump by about 10,900 and that , the results were not determined for several days awaiting the re- ■ port from Lake county. In 1924 ' George Denton. Democrat from Evansville was defeated for the supreme court by Benjamin Willoughby of Vincennes by one vote. , No contest was conducted. The community appreciates the splendid contributions made by the i General Electric Company to the Chamber of Commerce factory fund. It comes at a time iu the campaign when it began to look as ‘ though interest had waned and that perhaps we could not reach the goal. This subscription, bringing the total past the $9,500 mark ; , practically assures its success for i we are sure the good people of! this city will now see that the bal- j ance of a few hundred dollars is I quickly made up. About every oue you meet has a theory as to what cause the upset in politics here and elsewhere. Some feel that it is a repudiation of the New Deal, others that it ‘ t was caused by those jealous of ap- . I pointments, by lower prices for i farm products and a thousand oth- j er reasons. The political pendulum i swings back and forth iu this j country and perhaps that's a good j thing for the nation. We are gov- ( ! erned by a two-party system of! polities aud it is always a healthier condition when legislature bod- ' ies are close. However in Ulis state it appears we will have it a little too close with a divided assembly which cannot or will not do much. Perhaps that's even a good thing. In the meantime we will all smile I ' and go on. With the coming of colder ■ weather, many of us are congratulating each other on our good I fortune in having the beautiful autumnal days continue as long as ' they did. Elderly residents will tell you that rarely if ever in the history of northeastern Indiana has such a lovely fall lasted into the second week of November. Aud i those who are younger aud whose ! memories fail to stretch back into the “good old days” can recall no such perfect mornings, afternoons or nights in recent years. The colorings of the foliage, the crunch of the crisp leaves underfoot, autumn flowers blooming late, Jack i Frost behind his schedule —these | have been some of the character-I I izations of the early autuinn of j I 1938. An almost ideal summer, not too hot except during parts of two weeks; a September, October aud I early November of the ne plus ul- | tra kind — these seasons have ! been pleasant in the extreme. Now we go ahead hoping that the late fall and early winter will treat us with equal kindness, even when | snow is in the air and the north wind blusters — Fort Wayne Jour-: nal-Gazctte. o 500 Sheets B’Axil, 20-Ib., White Automatic Mimeograph Bond, nealy wrapped $1.05.

* Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE Q. Who should give the signal . for leaving the luncheon table? A.

This added ' shine also produces a glare which makes it more difficult to see through from the outside. The Garbage Pail A coat of paint on the inside of rhe garbatf pail before it is used for the first time will cause it to last twice as long. Salt Cellar A pinch of corn starch added to the salt will keep it from clogging in the salt cellar. o Bolt Turns Sand To Glass Tampa.
