-A DRAGON-FLY FLYING MACHINE One of the most graceful of all flying machines, and one that has succeded in making several short flights, is described with illustrations in the July Popular Mechanics. It has two wings and a long body and tail, not unlike those of a dragon-fly, from which fact it is so spoken of. Unlike other flying machines, the motor is above the wings, as also the operator, who rides upon it almost as one would ride a beast of burden, instead of being seated in a framework hung beneath it. The operator guides the rudder of the machine with the right hand, directs the stabilization wings with his feet, and controls the engine with his left hand. A pair of bicycle wheels at one end of a long, narrow framework and a roller at he other end form a support for the machine when on the ground. — o Miss Laura Helm returned from Peterson, where she visited with Miss Georgia Beery and attended the childrens’ day exercises at Beulah chapel. o SOCIETY COLUMN Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid Society to Meet With Mrs. Jesse Sutton Soon LADY MACCABEES Chidrens’ Day Exercises to Be Held at Christian Church The Lady Maccabees are all requested to’ be present at their regular meeting Wednesday evening as there is business of importance to be transacted. * * * The Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will hold its meeting with Mrs. Jesse Sutton at her home on Short Sixth street.

o I WAS GREAT BIRTH / 132nd Birthday Anniversary of the American Flag Celebrated ■ IN DECATUR And in Many Other Cities —The Good Old Stars and Stripes One hundred and thirty-two years ago today a birth was recorded in the United States which signaled national praise as no other birth before or since has done. Though not a human being, an emblem was born and so christened that It has since represented the patriotic inclinations of millions of free people. The stars, the stripes, the blue background have floated proudly over land and sea and never yet has the unfurled American flag been lowered by the onslaught of foreign powers nor for another reason. She floats today on her 132nd anniversary with more vigor and as unsullied as the day she found inception. The altruism of a free people’s patriotism has caused the defense of this national ensign during the passing of the years and the flag today is revered by the eighty millions of people over whom it floats. Flag day has been observed in many of the cities appropriately, as it should be. Every American citizen should consider it a pleasant duty to pay respect to our good old stars and stripes, for the preservation , of which miny, many men have fought, bled and died. , o— DISGRACEFUL ACT Miscreants Destroy a Number of House Plants Saturday Night ■ AT BOLLINGER’S Guilty Parties Are Known and They Will Be Prosecuted i ’ Some miscreants who, by the way, ! are known by the officers, destroyed I property belonging to John Bollinger last Saturday night and consequently , affidavits will be filed against them this evening or tomorrow morning un1 less they make good the damage they * have done.

IT WAS A BIG PICNIC St. John People Certainly Know How to Entertain Visitors HAD A GREAT TIME Yesterday By Those Who Attended the Big Picnic

A social success from every viewpoint was the picnic held at St. Johns yestreday where about a thousand people from all parts of the countv gathered to enjoy the hospitalities of the St. Johns congregation in the beautiful grove contiguous to the church premises. The affair was indescribably delightful and those who were fortunate in being present were greatly inspired by the clever program which was rendered. The Sunday school class entertained the vast assemblage by recitations and songs and the Decatur Juvenile band contributed to the interest of the event by the rendition of well received musical selections. The St. John people know how to entertain. They are hospitable to a fault and no one attends their functions without going away well satisfied with treatment they received. These folk believe in giving their visitors the best they have and all events which are conducted under their auspices are dispatched to the delight of all who attend. --O

NOME FOR AGED Old Peoples’ Home Day to Be Observed by this Conference OF M. E. CHURCH To Create Interest and Bring to it Positive Encouragement

The Sundays of June 27 and July 4 will be of special Importance to Methodism within the bounds of the North Indiana conference. In every church , the Home of the Aged will be the theme of appropriate sermon and special song: all of which will be significant in behalf of the movement founding the Home. It is expected soon to erect the main building and at an early day the home will be carrying out its beneficent purposes. It is a matter of gratitude that this worthy institution is so near the realization of its promoters, and it will be, in its active operations, a source of genuine pleasure, that this home gives expression to a distinctively Christian philanthrophy; a philanthropy that makes its appeal to, and has its rightful claim upon, the benevolence of all who sympathize with the worthy dependent aged. The active work of the home will redee|i the church from the oft repeated charge that her aged are often the subject of neglect. This general observance in behalf of the home will be productive of enlarged interest, and will bring to it the positive encouragement of the entire conference. Indiana Methodism has two great institutions in operation, one each within the bounds of the northwest and the Indiana conferences, respectively. The establishment of this Home for the Aged at Warren within the bounds of the North Indiana conference gives to each of the three Methodist coni terences of the state a representative institution —one for education, one for ; healing and this for the care of the dependent aged. The North Indiana . conference will do itself worthy hon- ! or, in planting this home on a basis of largest service in this department of Christian activity. , oCONVICT FOUND NOT GUILTY Frssd Frsm Murdsr Charge on TesItimony of Fellow Prisoners.
