Well, here we are going right along with the new year and indications still pointing to a whopper. The weather man certainly dished up some fine samples for the start of 1939 and if be can pro- ( duce it during the twelve months, j we are for him not only for a secolid term but for a hundred years. ■ The subscription price for the | Daily Democrat, both city and j rural, is from a fourth to a half cheaper than any we know of and we are sure you will get more | news of genuine interest to you I from this paper than any other! you can possibly secure. mu ■ --- Herbert H. Lehman has again taken the oath of office as governor of New York state. If he serves it out he w ill have been . chief executive of the largest state ) in the Union ten years. Up to j date he has a record that any one | could well be proud of. You really only need one good resolution that will cover every thing and that's the Golden Rule. If we follow that, if we put ourselves in the other fellow’s place ! and if we try to “do unto others as we would be done by," we will be happier and so will every one else. A canning factory would employ a large number of women and girls as well as provide a market for hundreds who would engage in the business of growing sped-1 lied products. Those who raised tomatoes here last year, at least

some of them, averaged eight to ten toils to the acre and received from ten to thirteen dollars per ton. That's foundation for a lot of serious thinking. One of Hie important, things for every one to keep in mind as we start the year is Hie traffic problem. For years we have recorded a large number of fatalities annually and while there was a slight decrease last year nationally, the record for Adams coun’y was alarming. Let’s all resolve to be careful every minute and that includes not only car drivers but pedestrians as well. The new county and city officials are on their jobs today, starting with tho new year and with anticipations of successful careers. They have the best wishes of < very one and we know that eacli starts off wilh the grim determination to give an excellent; account of his form in office. Congratulations have been extended and now we get down to the real business of serving the public. Let’s help them so they can lies! do this and in doing it. best aid the city and county and stale. We have mailed letters to our subscribers who receive the Daily Deocrat by mail aud we hope every

| one will respond quickly by renewI ing their subscription. It's an ex- | pensive proposition to publish a dully newspaper and during the past few months, a number have quit trying to do it. We are grateful for the loyal support given us 1 in the past and ask for u con- : tlmtance, with the promise that • we will do our best to provide you 1 a big three dollars worth of information during the year. I — J An article on the corn borer, with an accompany tuble, issued ' from the state conservation department, shows Adams county in the alarming position of having ; 5C.1 of its corn plants infested j with this destructive insect with ( an average of 3.2 to a plant. That j is twice as many as any other county in the state excepting Allen, which shows 3-1.5% of plants infested. Those who give little jor no attention to this growing danger should awaken and a campaign that will he effective should certainly no longer be delayed. The corn crop in Adams county is far too Important to take chances on being completely destroyed. Joe Korrs, president of the Adams County Tomatoe Growers As-, sociation believes Decatur should have a canning factory. He points j 1 out that more than a hundred j farmers are now producing this i j crop and with a little effort he be- j lieves we could have live hundred t lor more to start with. The plants | of this kind at Portland, Celinu ! ; and other places have developed I business that keeps them going! i almost the year around, canning j pork and beans, mushrooms, 1 | pickles and other products. With j our various plants here to provide j a market for varied cops, we j should add a canning factory and i the Chamber of Commerce could do nothing that would please more people. The average farmer does not j seem to take seriously tile dangj ers of,the corn borer but we would think they would be "scared out of their shoes” by the official reports showing that half the corn j plants in the country were infested last year. Added to this we are told is graver dangers this year because of the long, warm season of ’3B, during which time two crops of the little worms were propagated. There is away of aiding the situation, it is stated by experts and that would be for every farmer in a community, burning the corn stubbles and plowing under. Os course if you do this and your neighbor fails to do so, it won't help you much. It i should be a community effort and its very important here where we j are so dependent on a corn crop. , Don’t hesitate, but get busy.

Frank Murphy, who today turn- j ed his duties as governor of Miehi- j gun over to his successor, immediately took the oath of office as ’ attorney general of the United States. He has been much before the public in recent years and has been a constant fricud, admirer and supporter of President Roosevelt. It may result in a fight on the senate floor when his confirmation comes before that body and thus quickly show the attitude of Hie upper house as to the president. Mr. Murphy is a brilliant lawyer and has made a wonderful I political record for so young aj man. He is forty-five years old j and has served as high commissioner to tho Philippine Islands, a judge, mayor of Detroit aud governor of his state. Even his enemies admit he is a man of unusual talents. 1 o r TWENTY YEARS *j AGO TODAY I j From the Daily Democrat File | ♦" 4 •lan.

START YOUR NEW YEAR RIGHT Many a husband and wife vow they will get up a family budget, plan their expenditure to tit the income and save systematically. But they too often put it off to “next year," when things "straighten out a bit.” The value of a budget plan sci family income and expenses is greatest just when things are not "straightened out.” And budgeting, contrary to popular belief, doesn't involve a lot of bookkeeping. It can be made simple and a lot of fun, besides its great practical value in conserving funds and putting the money where it does the most good. Our Service Bureau at Washington has a carefully compiled booklet on FAMILY BUDGETING, that tells exactly how to go about constructing the budget and the simple recording that is necessary to keep the family income working for you to its maximum benefit.

She was wearing a black dress designed by the Rue de la Paix couturiere whom she visited twice every season, the two rows of famous Matresser pearls her only ornament. She sat propped up by cushions in the center of a highbacked divan and it was understood that an invitation to sit by her aide was a rarely accorded honor. She possessed the unusual distinction of having preserved her complexion as well as her figure, and Matresser’s bow was one of genuine admiration. “You are the most wonderful woman in the world,” he declared. “I come home from my wanderings each time to find you younger.” She smiled gaily ap at him.
