Representative SCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies The Red Cross needs your membership and the annual roll call is on. Join now and help a great cause for another year. Some one wants to know whether we will have static with tele- ; vision and if it will look as bad as it sounds. That really is something to worry about. On the recount of the first seven precincts in Indianapolis, not a single vote was changed and one candidate had the good sense to withdraw his contest suit. Candidates in the recent election. whether they spent any money or not, must file an expense report by Thursday of this week. Don't put it off any longer. ■■■nnMMbw mm* Right now is the best time to join the Christmas Saving club for next year. It's a fine method of budgeting for your 1939 gift program. The sooner you join the Good Fellows club the easier it will be to raise the funds necessary to assure every poor boy and girl a Merry Christmas. "Higher education." the Louisville Courier-Journal asserts, "is epitomized in the forward pass." Well, a home run with the bases full isn't a kindergarten performance.—South Bend Tribune. The Christmas seal campaign is on, the purpose being to raise , funds with which to fight tuber- j culosis here and elsewhere. The i stamps are attractive and should be used liberally on Christmas packages and letters. The opening of the new gym was a "honey” and every body enjoyed it. not only because the Yellow Jackets won in a close contest, but because they were comfortable. It s a real basketball hall and will also prove popular as an auditor- j ium. As we approach the new year it would be wonderful if labor difficulties could be straightened out and we could enter 1939 ready to go forward in an industrial way. Just now. however, there is not i much indication of that as each day strikes are announced from ' various sections of the country. j Wc are still hoping for a united front. The next Congress may have a "patriotic front.” Os the new members elected to the House, at least 37 served the nation in war time and who belong to either the American Legion or to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Among these are founders of the Legiou and

former commanders und high officers of it and the V. F. W. —Newcastle Courier-Time*. There might be some chance of I crookedness in a primary for the officials representing the minority I party might not be greatly inferested in the candidates for the j other party and give it little if any i attention but in a general election | each side watches the other so ' closely that even if there was such intent, which rarely is true, there would be practically no chance to "pull" any thing. Recounts over I the state are showing very little ■ | change. At the Baptist Temple in Phila- , delphla next Sunday members of j the congregation, in fifteen-minute; shifts, will read the New Testa- ' inent through, starting at 3 a. m., in the morning and continuing until ten in the evening. Just what ' the purpose of such a hurried scanning of the Great Book is, was not given in the newspaper accounts. It would seem that more benefit would come from a more deliberate study than could poss- | ibly be given under such circum- ' stances. While the quota for beets for the Central Sugar company is slightly less than last years, nine per cent , j to be exact, it provides for 14,228 acres and those who have been ; using this crop as one of their rotating products, will be given ! first opportunity to sign up. Re- • suits this year have been very satisfactory and beets have be-, come a real part of the modern farmers production in this territory. While there may be more , work in growing beets than in some crops, it brings an excellent return and has become one of the most dependable of any thing the . farmer can produce. - The entire community joins us | in extending hearty and sincere • : congratulations to Mrs. Jane An- i derson of Thirteenth street, this \ city, who Saturday observed her , 101st birthday. She is a remarkable lady and until she was 97 years old. managed a boarding and rooming house at Warsaw.then she retired and has since resided with her daughter. Mrs. W. H. Foughty ; here. A devout Christian lady. Mrs. Anderson wants to live as long as she can but is ready if the Master calls. There are but eight persons living in Indiana who have reached the century mark of life and Mrs. Anderson is one of these. An important two'-day session, beginning next Friday, will be held in Indianapolis by groups interested in the history of this state.; The gathering will mark the 20th I annual Indiana History Conference j and will attract members of the Indiana Historical Society, the I Society of Indiana Pioneers, history teachers and others interested in history subjects. The date of the conference always is set near Dec. 11, the anniversary of Indaina's admittance into the Union. It is significant that this I conference was not organized until 1918, indicating how belated ! was the emphasis on the wealth of Hoosierdom s historica material. The centennial celebration two years earlier inspired much of the i subsequent delving into its early I period, with the further incentive of numerous county and city observances of a century's growth. Prior to that period, the history of Indiana received scant attention, either in the schools or by those engaged in various fields of research. While Hoosiers made a belated start in their appreciation of the state’s historical record, they have atoned for that previous neglect by steadily increasing zeal in . probing the records and achievements of territorial days dtid the earlier period of statehood. — Indianapolis Star.

If a lump of sugar saturated with vinegar is eaten, it will also remove onion odor from the breath. Make Meat Tender A tablespoonful of vinegar, or a teaspoonful of lemon juice, added to tough meat or corned beef, while it is boiling or roasting, will make it more tender.

Can you answer questions on rules cf ’the road correctly? Here is one: When you make a right turn from one street into another, should you ’ turn from the lane nearest the right .edge of the street? You should, but many persons drive in the middle of the street and Ulen make the right turn. Drivers should get in the lane' nearest the right edge of the street when making a right turn from one street into another; otherwise, i there is danger of collision witli cars in the right-hand lane. Do you agree, and do you make; jour right turns correctly? — o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
