Some Decatur citizen can make his name immortal if he will suggest ; plan whereby the city can obtain : modern hospital. There is scarcely a day but that some resident of this county is taken to some other city tc undergo an operation or treatment next to impossible outside a hospital Can't we have such an institution ir this place? It would save much in expense. Clean up your yards. Get ready sot the summer. There is no one thing that shows the spirit cf thrift and enterprise and a good community like well kept lawns, clean yards, clean streets and alleys and well built sidewalks. It denotes cleanliness, and the stranger is sure to notice it. And this is a part of helping the city that you can do no matter how poor you are. A hovel looks better if kept tidy and if you start in now it will be an easy matter. The Muncie Star calls attention to the fact that seems to have been generally overlooked in the past decades that there are as many women lodges as tnere are mens, and that this is shown by the recent meetings of the Rebekahs Eastern Stars, W. R. C. and others and concludes by saying: Just why the lodge has been overlooked as an element of danger in the life of twentieth century women which their grandmothers knew nothing of is not quite clear, while the club in which women unite for study and exchange of thought is taken as a target by the critic and humorous paragrapher. The Star does not by any means regard secret societies or any of the organizations which women have formed or any cf the outside activities in which they are engaged as being otherwise than admirable and useful in their several ways. On the contrary, it recognizes the fact that women have very properly ceased to be bound by the four walls of their home and are going about their part cf the work of the world in ruch way as seems best to them as they have a right to do. It merely calls attention to a phenomenon that seems to have escaped observation, namely, that woman as well as man attends lodge in large numbers and shares equally with man
