Christmas
Club
Delaware Trust Company Of
fers Easy Plan TO Provide
Money for Christmas.

Everybody needs money for
Christmas. Many people have
trouble in providing a sufficient
amount to buy all the presents
needed when the time comes.
The Delaware Trust Company
of this city offers an easy plan
to meet such a contingency On
December 26 it will start a
Christmas Saving Club. Mem
bers will pay in a small amount
each week for fifty weeks and
and at the end Of that time will
receive checks for the total
amounts they have paid in. The
plan is simple and systematic.
There will be different classes
of members. For instance, one
class will start in by paying one
cent the first week. two cents
the second week, three cents
the third week, and so on for
fifty weeks, the last weeks
payment amounting TO fifty
cents. Members in this class
will receive checks two weeks
before Christmas for S12.75, or
they may reverse the order
of payments by paying fifty
cents the first week and paying
one cent less each succeeding
week, which brings the last
weeks payment down to one
cent. There will also be classes
starting with two cents and FIVE
cents. Payments must be made
promptly every week or in ad-
vance for as many weeks as
may be convenient.
1t will not only prove bene-
fetal TO grown people, but will
prove very popular with young
people. Ii is very simple and
the details are easily understood
when explained. Everybody is
welcome 10 join and the Dela-
ware Trust Company will be
pleased TO have those interested
call and learn all about it.
Those desiring TO become men,
bers can join Thursday, Decem-
Der 26th and after.

REALIZES POLITICAL
SITUATION IS MIXED
John Dern, on Return From
Eastern Trip, Finds Demo
Gratis Encouraged.

John Dern and Mrs. Dcrn returned
Monday from month g visit to French
Lick Springs, Ind. and in Chicago.
They also visited in Fremont, Mob,
Mr.. Dern s former home, on the return
trip,
While at French Lick Springs, Mr.,
Dcrn took occasion to learn what he
could Of the political situation in In
diana and the middle west from Thorn
as Taggart. proprietor of the resort,
and from other leaders In the affairs Of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties.
According to Mr., Taggart,' said
Mr.. Dern Yesterday, the sentiment of
the people OF Indiana as regards the
candidacy Of Colonel Roosevelt or
President Taft is about equally dl-
vided. The members of each faction are
earnest in the support Of their candi-
date and serious split is likely to re-
suit in tho event of the nomination OF
either candidate. In such case, i think
the Democrats would have an excellent
chance of carrying Indiana at the cleo
tion next fall. Though the Indiana del
egation TO the Democratic national con-
vention Will probably 90 instructed Tor
Governor Marshall Of Indiana, there is
no way of figuring to whom the delega
tion will give its support after a com
plimentaTy vote is cast for Marshall.
The financial interests Of Indiana and
the middle west seem to favor Judson
Harmon, but the mass Of the people
and the conservative business interests
have apparently narrowed their choice
down to Wilson or Clark and the speak
er seems to have a shade the best OF it
thus far.'
In regard to business affairs in the
central west, Mr.. Dern said that all
him and though he did not come in di.
rect touch with business interests, be
was of the opinion that whatever ru-
mors are afoat about so.called business
staGnatiop apparently come from too
much politics.
