Those who have thus provided for the occasion are smiling. Your Christmas Shopping? Now | is the time and here is the place. You will find the most attractive gifts in the local stores and shops. The roll call for the Red Cross is a success hut it can't be too much so. Every one who can possibly spare a dollar ought to be a member of this greatest of all re- ( lief organizations. Put an electric candle in the window. trim your Christmas tree, let’s make it look like Christmas. Many are doing this now and the more display we have, the more evident is the spirit. The new license plates, for 1939, will be on sale in Decatur, Berne and Geneva next Monday. The sooner you get yours the easier it will be. for as the time limit draws nearer the crowd will increase. Use Christmas seals, buy a health bond, aid in the continued fight against the dreaded disease tuberculosis. Much has been done the past two decades along this line and the battle must be continued. Most of the stores in Decatur and in the other towns of the county will remain open evening until after Christmas, giving those the opportunity to trade, who otherwise might not be able to arrange the time. It's Christmas season and you can tell it by watching the number of people carrying gayly wrapped packages these days. Everybody is busy getting gifts for loved ones and prepared for the glad holidays. It's a great old world any way and most folks can forget their trials and tribulations when they get to planning for Christmas. It s a gay time for young and old and the wonderful occasion when we realize what it means to “ say, "Peace on earth, good will towards man.” The postoffice examination to be : held here soon is under civil service it has been announced. Whether we favor that or not it’s the law and should be so understood. There will be a number of applicants and we are sure that who ever is selected will strive to give the very best service to the people. Au unusual number of birds seem to be planning to winter in Deca- " tur. From several sections come

reports the feathered flock has be-1 . come a great nuisance and there's a problem. If they are shot there will be a huo and cry and if they are permitted to stay those who are annoyed will think they are not having protection. What do you think about it? Adams county Democrats will have twelve delegates in the next state convention and Republicans will have nine. This is based on the vote for secretary of state and one very unusual fact is that each i party will have exactly the same ' number of delegates, 1,937, In the ' next convention, due of course to the close vote in the recent elec-1 tion. Ralph Meyers of Rensselear | wanted to dispose of his father, who is worth $75,000 and it is al- I leged planned to do so. He was | tipped off to two men to do the job and agreed to give them »1$ for the job. The trouble is that the two men turned out to be Fremont Lemler and Ed Rose, state police- I men, who immediately arrested Meyers. He faces two to twenty- ’ one years in prison and will probably lose out as to his father's fortune.

In Atlantic City, N. J., William • H. West lost his race to be a can- 1 didate for the state legislature. Os j most interest to citizens was not I that he received 817 votes, or that I he ran as an "Independent Repub- | Mean," but that West was an in- j mate of the Atlantic County in- 1 sane asylum. West, who used to contend that he insured President Roosevelt s nomination in 1932 by sending "thought waves' to the delegates, was arrested recently ' for sending threatening letters to , the White House. Fifty years ago yesterday, Mr. ' and Mrs. William Beineke were : united in marriage. That event will ■ be celebrated tomorrow with a din- . net, to relatives and open house to ! all friends and they have many. I For years they resided on their farm in Kirkland township and were recognized as earnest and successful workers. Since retiring about twenty years ago, they have , lived in this city. Sincere, kindly and in every way excellent citizens they deserve the best and we join their hundreds of friends and admirers in offering sincere con- : gratulations and wishes for many j more anniversaries. The cause of justice has been advanced everywhere through the courage and sense of duty on the part of Ohio's Governor and courts. They declined to intervene in behalf of Anna Marie Hahn, who paid 1 the penalty for her crimes in the electric chair. She was the first woman to be electrocuted in Ohio. Mrs. Hahn was convicted of one specific murder more than a year . ago. For more than 12 months her lawyers exhausted every legal means, including final arguments on the day of execution, of averting the extreme penalty. It would have been easier for Governor Davey to commute the sentence on the basis of sentiment. So long as capital punishment, remains on

the books, however, no individual deserved it more. Some may shudder at the thought of the state's legal killing of a sobbing woman wailing about her boy. Terrible as the death chamber ordeal was to those compelled to endure it, no I display of sentiment could erase the murders with which the woman was charged. Crimes of ambition and passion are committed in drama. history and this workaday world in which the observer can detect some mitigating circumstances. Mrs. Hahn gave poison to 1 four elderly men, the state chargI cd. plotting cold murder to get I their small savings and thus re- ■ coup gambling losses. Those who j protest against the spectacle of the woman in the death chair would ' do well to think of those victims, dying in the agony of poisoned 1 food prepared tor them by her.
