Join the Red Cross and help those who are trying to help every body. If you have been a member of the Red Cross, renew by paying , your dollar dues. If you have not start now by doing the same thing. Your contribution is needed. The annual roll call of the Adams County Chapter of Red Cross is now on and you will soon be asked to renew your faith in this great organization. Os course you will do so for it's a wonderful opportunity to show that your heart beats for those who are in distress. The tax rate in Decatur for every thing, state, county, township, city and school will be $2.69, which isn't so bad for what you get. Most of the money required by taxes is for schools, roads, various institutions and for special assessments. In many cases the improvements are petitioned for, so that after all we make our own tax rates by our demands. Tod Whipple, well known Portland attorney, believes that some of those interested in the famous Wabash ditch case are charging too much for too little service and though he was for years one of the attorneys for the petitioners, has now announced he will oppose •he payment of $30,000 for what he calls a "$30,00 gift to contracting firms." The plot thickens. The CIO threatens to boycott those who do not agree with their auto workers organization, which shocks those who thought boycotting illegal in this country. As better times appear again there should be, it seems to the average citizen, some way in which all labor and all manufacturers could meet under a happy understand- I ing that will permit continued progress. Farmers in this section who ! raised sugar beets will get their first check December 15th, it is announced and we are sure these checks, most of them for handsome amounts, will make a lot ot people happy. We have the advantage here of a beet and bean market that means much to Decatur and it s industries, the entire territory i owes much to them.

Republicans who were candldktes for the legislature from Marion county now plan to contest the winners in the house, going on the ; I theory that since they have a ma-1 t jorlty of one or two, they can be ' seated, regardless ot the election 1 . . returns. Surely they wont get far in such a brazen attempt to usurp j offices to which they were not . I elected. If they do, they will find • themselves in an ugly position . 1 when the next campaign rolls a-1 ’ * 1 I round for the voters do not like 1 such tactics. James Dalhover, last of the fam-, ; ous Brady gang, trigger man and j generally tough citizen, concluded a misspent life early yesterday morning, when he was electrocuted at the state prison at Michigan City. By various legal tactics, he ; I lived an extra year but efforts to stay his execution, though carried to the president of the United States, were decisively refused. He was a bad boy and a wicked man, , I who with associates, robbed and ■ killed and was headed for the doom 1 that finally came. — "If I tried to read, much less answer, all the criticisms made of me and all the attacks leveled a- ■ gainst me, this office would have to be closed for other business. I do the best I know how — the very best I can. I mean to keep on doing this down to the very end.” I This extremely practical advice to | executives might have been writ- j ten yesterday, so aptly does it ap- , ply to the demands of modern bus- : iness administration. As a matter ! of fact, it was written approximately three-quarters of a century ago. Its author was none other than Abraham Lincoln, who penned it when he was President. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Charles E. Hocker, retiring as assistant postmaster of Decatur 1 after twenty-eight years of service, has a record of good service. He has been courteous and capable. He made a thorough study of his work and of the numerous laws 1 which control the affairs of a postoffice of this class. Few men were as well posted on postal regulations and laws. Not a word of criticism has ever been uttered against j him and he has the satisfaction of having performed perfectly in an important post. Carrel Cole who will succeed him is well qualified, is educated and ha»'> had several years experience in the postoffice, where he as served as clerk. We are happy to join the many friends of both these excellent men in extending congratulations. Mr. Furnas of Yale University, speaking at the Purdue Research , Conference, this week, declared : that social problems are up to industry and warns business against letting politicians solve unemploy- ; inent. Fine and we are sure no one will appreciate that more than the so-called politicians themselves, but different strides will have to be taken than those in recent' years. Annually many improve-, ments are produced and invented, | to increase production with less labor. This is evident right now, j due perhaps to sit down strikes and other things that stopped pro- | duction and then made it necessary | i that goods be produced with great- j er rapidity. What to do with idle j men is the gravest problem this , ‘ country has ever met and we doubt ‘ ; if it can be solved by the advice of any student or professor. It will require the combined efforts of business, manufacturers, politicians and statesmen. We congratulate this community on the success of the factory fund campaign. Every one was splendid | in their loyalty and their desires to help restore a hundred men to gainful employment. To Theodore Graliker, Rev. Graham, Will Bowers and many others go the credit i for continuing the drive until the

It is to be one of the j finest plants of its kind in the country and we are sure every one who gave to this project will be glad of it as the years roll along. , That's the difference between a ; good town and the average. With I the right spirit, worth while things I can be accomplished, as has un- ! doubtedly been done in this instance. We congratulate those who worked at the job, those who subscribed and the entire community. You did a real deed for your neighbor and indirectly for yourselves.

Otherwise, it might be a good idea to dispose of the breeding herd. 10. If feeding beef cattle for | next spring's market, better get j plain quality animals and plan to | sell a “good” grade rather than a , “choice" or “prime” grade If feeding for next fall's market, better get light weight cattle of good grade. 11. Feed the dairy cattle liberally,'at least, during, the first part . of 1939. while farm grown feed supplies are abundant. 12. The price of hogs marketed in the spring of 1940 is likely to be based on increased numbers. Therefore, do not let the present favorable price ration be too encouraging to eNter the hog business on a big scale. 13. Keep as many laying hens and pullets this winter as can be given proper care and feed them ■ well. Then, cull more carefully i than usual unless 1939 feed supplies promise to continue unusually abundant. 14. Continue to keep a close I watch on economic and legislative I developments and on conditions in foreign countries. This is a period when price relationships have ' ;«> at temporary fluctuations and | when important developments of a more permanent nature may take place in a hurry. Do not change the “ business unduly as a result of new situations which are likely to be temporary but keep an eye out for any developments that might have a long-time effect ” on the farm business and try to plan in the light of them.
