GETTING THEIR MONEY’S WORTH The factory committee of the Commercial club have been busy, and especially so the past several days, entertaining prospective factory propositions. The committee have decided on one thing to a certainty, and that is that they will prove loyal to every lot investor and that not one cent of the factory fund shall be spent without that protection that is so necessary to a successful business transaction. They propose to move with extreme caution and get value received for every cent expended. The committee have learned much since they first began this work, and that experience has but stiffened their caution and made more clear their duty of driving a hard bargain. Those who have purchased a lot and by so doing, have joined that element of Decatur's progress that mean to increase the business and wealth of Decatur, will have to be patient with the committee. With that patience they may rest assured that the interests of those who have made this project a possibility, will be protected in every waypossible. The committee could have located a hundred factories in the time they have taken. It is not a matter of opportunity, but a matter of getting value received for any amount expended.

wear a sl4 hat. Why not? A man does not need any flowers, or feathers, or fixings on his hat. He does not have to keep up the beauty record of the family. And then this idea of equal cost of clothing is utterly impractical. Would Dr. Quisenberry say that because a man does not wear garters hfs wife should be equally economical?—Huncie Star. President Roosevelt while coming to Indianapolis told the people at one of his stops that if two men started out on a journey, each with a kit, and one got weary and threw his kit away, he could not at the journey's end demand a share in the other fellow's kit. This is reasonable enough. But suppose at the end of the journey the thrifty traveler has in his kit not only his own property but the other man s which he obtained on the way byfraud or theft. Is there no remedy for the man who has been despoiled? Had he been so inclined, the late Arthur P. Gorman could easily have been a -mlti-millionaire. Holier-than-thou Mugwamps decried him in season and out of season. This never seriously disturbed him, though it may possibly have annoyed. He kept right on serving his constituents and proving himself useful to his friends, those whom he deemed worthy and deserv- | ing. His estate figured up about $600,000. During his life-time it was pesistently iassprted (that he had amassed a fortune of about twenty millions. —South Bend Times. ———— LOST) —A small Panama hat for a baby, somewhere between the Burdg millinery store and the Burdg residence.

GETTING STARTED Our Champions Win From Frankfort IN AN INTERESTING CONTEST Score Was Five to Three—Same Teams Play Again Today and a Good Crowd Will Attend. In one of the prettiest and fastest exhibitions of the national game played so far this season in our city, Frankfort went down in defeat before Captain Behringer’s men by a score of five to three. Way and Boyd were the opposing pitchers and for a time it was a battle royal between these two right handers. Way, however, in the end out pitched his man and having the best argument throughout. In fact it was Decatur's game from the stan to the finish, and Frankfort had no chance to win as they were out lucked, their errors came at unfortunate periods and the locals were fortunate in bunching hits when needed. which practically- tells the entire story. Decaturs first run came in the third, when Winger landed on the first pitched ball for two bases and promptly stole third, a daring piece of work, and scored when Wilson and Collins collided on a litte pop fly, the ball falling safe. Nothing was doing then until the fifth, when four runs were chalked up the result of two errors and three hits. These four runs proved to be a mountain, as Frankfort was unable to bunch their hits off Way until the seventh ipning. when they scored two runs, and came back in the eighth with one. However, they were never dangerous and Mr. Way had the situation well in hand throughout. The best chance Frankfort had was in the third inning when the first man was retired and the next two men singled and were each advanced a base by Collins being hit with a pitched bail. Hanna, the next man up hit the first pitched ball a terrific swat to left field, which Burns captured after a long run and who made a perfect throw to the plate catching Hurst, who was trying to score, by several feet. The play was a beauty, and was on the big league

order. The locals for the first time this season played an errorless game while Frankfort messed up five plays. The same teams play today. The score: Decatur.

Winger's steal of third base in the third inning after his two base hit, was a daring piece of work and won him much applause. The steal resulted in a score, after Wilson and Collins messed up Behringer's little pop fly. Burns made a beautitnl catch of a long fly ball in the second inning that had all the earmarks of being a two base drive, and he was forced to doff his cap. Frankfort's downfall came in the fifth, when two errors and three singles netted four runs. This was a lead they couldn’t overcome. Ayette played a beautiful game at third, but (was unfortunate in not

'securing a hit. a close decision at first base spoiling his chances. Burns' throw to the plate in the third inning after catching Hannas long fly was big league ball to perfection and the speedy Hurst, who tried to score after the cgtch was caught six feet from the plate. Burns certainly has some arm. Boyd pitched a nice game for Frank fort, holding the locals to seven hits and striking out seven men. Poor, support at critical moments, however, spoiled his chances of winning. Welden umpired a nice game of ball, although several of his decisions were questioned by the visitors. What the management should do is to secure a competent man, put him on salary, and give him some authority and the games would be played much smoother than when a player is forced to, don the umpire's robe. Just one year ago yesterday Frankfort played in our city and defeated us by a score of four to two, the locals winning the second game by a score! of one to nothing. Wonder if they will split even ’his time. n -— PREBLE MUTUAL INSURANCE NOTICE The Preble Townsfiip German Mutual Fire Insurance Co. of F*reblej township. Adams county.
