While it is not known, of course, just what is going on behind those four walls, it is rumored that several important matters are being investigated. Anyway, some of the boys will feel considerably relieved when they know. Advertise —It's the foundation of every business, the back-bone that stiffens the trade, the life-blood that keeps it going.

Claus to pack, Mr. Business Man, say so. The national congress will soon convene. President Taft is even now at work on the message that he is to read at this time. It is expected that much important legislation will be productive of this session, the last one the republicans will have full sway for some time at least. There never was a time when the people needed It more. The great mass don’t care half as much about the Panama canal, the big rivers and harbors bill, and the others which will eat up a I billion dollar appropriation bill as they |do about the high cost of living and the throttling of industries by tne great trust and combinations.

The Jonesboro (Ark.) paper gives the following social item of interest to Decatur people: “Mrs. Fred Falk entertained some thirty of her friends Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o’clock as a special compliment to her sister, Mrs. John Falk, of Decatur, Ind., who is her guest. The hospitable Falk home, which is one of the handsomest in the city, has been the scene of i many pleasant social affairs in the' past, but none more delightful than the one on this occasion. The entire I lower floor was attractively decorated with beautiful foliage plants and magnificent white and gold chrysanthe-| mums which attain such perfection at this particular season of the year. The guests were received by the hostess and her eldest daughter, Miss Lillian Falk. Tables were arranged in the drawing room and library, and the guests enjoyed a progressive geographical game which proved exceedingly Interesting. The score cards were ornamented with a Thanksgiving harvest scene. The highest score was made by Mrs. Robert Lee Johnson, and she was given an exquisite hand-made centerpiece. The highest score among the out-of-town guests was made by the guest of honor, who was given a Jonesboro souvenir spoon. Mrs. J. L. Burns cut the consolation prize, a hand-nalnted plate. The score keeper was Miss Dolores Falk. The hostess’ three sister, Mis. B. G. Lynch, Mrs. Fred Puryear, and Mrs. Frank Winter, assisted in entertaining and in serving a delicious two-course menu. Mrs. W. W. Cate added to the pleasure of all present by giving two of her best vocal numbers. The guest list was made up of the following: Mesdames B. G. Lynch, Fred Puryear, Frank Winter, J. F. Mason, F. X. Keller, J. L. Burns, H. W. Graham, E. J. Mason, J. B. Mason, R. L. Montgomery, r’ M. Whitley, W. A. Somervell, J. Y. Turner, R. L. Johnson, Henkel Pewet, W. W. Cate, W. T. Nash, William Hetherington, H. S. Underhill, J. A. Boston, J. G. Jones, James Hopkins, H. C. Thornton and Miss Mary Mason of Chicago. To receive her guests the hostess wan handsomely gowned in blkck. Mrs. John Falk, the guest of honor, who is a very intellectual woman, and whose cordiality and charm of manner have made her many friends during her visit here, wore an afternoon gown of blue silk with Persian embroidery. Mrs. B. G. Lynch’s gown was of pale blue broadcloth and embroidery. Mrs. Fred Puryear wore a dress of apricot messaline satin, and Mrs. Frank Winter was becomingly dressed in blue chiffon broadcloth.” Miss Eula McKinney entertained the members of the Mrs. A. D. Artman’s Sunday school class Monday evening at its regular fortnightly meeting, in a delightful way, and while the storm raged without, good cheer reigned within the McKinney home. The business session occupied the first period, during which time it was decided that the class become identified with the “Loyal” movement, taking the name of “Loyal Daughters,” the local circle to become known as “The Ruth Circle of Loyal Daughters.” The class is planning to give a chicken supper soon. A very delightful social time followed in which a number of contests were played.

One was a test in which questions were answered with words ending in "gate," in which Miss Nellie Daniels won first honors, materializing in the form of a dainty picture. A second contest was unique, each guest being asked to write a piece of humorous advice. The slips were then exchanged and read. Miss Eula was assisted by her mother, Mrs. W. C. Kinney, in serving a very delicious luncheon. Miss Lydia Miller, a guest other than the class members, provided some very good music. The Ruth Circle will meet in two weeks with Miss Jessie Magley of West Monroe street. Mrs. Dr. H. E. Sowers, who leaves soon with her family for their new home at Sharon, Pa., entertained the members of the Historical club in a happy way Monday. The regular club session was to have been held with her in the evening, but she invited the ladles to come in the afternoon and bring their sewing with them, remaining for supper and the evening session, thus delightfully merging the social and study hours, as this will probably be the last meeting of the club with her. Mrs. Sowers, always original and witty, and devising original ways of entertaining her guests, which add much to the zest and pleasure of her entertainments, was at her best Monday. A unique puzzle, a poem of her own composition, in rebus or conundrum form, was given each guest, who derived from its intricacies the club name, “The Historical Reading Club.” This with sewing and conversation, passed the time till supper at 5 o’clock, the supper being served by the Misses Donna and Winifred Sowers and Florence Meyers. Places at the table were found in a unique way. Mrs. Sowers stated that she had often wished to tell each one what she thought of them, and would be thus able to do so. On each place card were a series of adjectives characteristic of each, the initials of which were the initials of the person described. Mrs. Jesse Sutton had an interesting paper on the evening's lesson, which was on Harrison and Tyler’s administration. During the evening songs, such as Ben Bolt, and others, taking one back to the early days of long ago. were sung by Mrs. D. G. M. Trout and Mrs.P.B. Thomas, and much enjoyed. Those wno shared the pleasures of this happy evening were Mesdames Crabbs, Schrock, Beavers, Sutton, Trout, Thomas, Burns, Congleton, Gillig, R. S. Peterson. Sarah Fisher, Dan Meyers and Miss Nellie Blackburn. J Harold Magley entertained thirtyone of his little friends at a party from 3:30 to 6 o’clock Monday evening at his home on West Monroe street in celebration of his tenth birthday anniversary, which occurred Sunday. Pinning the tail on the donkey, and a number of other games which children like and find ever new, were enjoyed, with music by Ireta Butler and Ireta Beavers, after which came luncheon served in the dining room, his sisters being assisted in serving by Miss Harriet Wilder. In the boys’ contest Herman Houk and Noble Lachot tied, while Myrtle Wilder, of the girls, proved the winner. Quite a number of highly appreciated gifts were received by Harold, with the best wishes of his friends. Those present were: Rolland Smith, Ireta, Gladys and Arthur Butler, Ireta and Glen Beavers, Harold, Paul and Robert Daniels, James Dawson, Myrtle and Jessie Doris Wilder, Harold and Archie Smith,- Harold and Kenneht Eady, Pete Bolinger, Herman, Mary and Huldah Houk, Myron Franks, Don Hower, Gregg McFarland, Dewey and Noble Lachot, Merrll Buckmaster, Dora Marie Magley, Max Williams, Naomi, Margaret and Fred Christen. As Is customary with the Pythian Sisters, when any of their members have a birthday anniversary within the month, they entertain the members of the lodge. Monday evening after the usual lodge session, two of the members, Mrs. Sam Hite and Mrs. Fred Fruchte, announced themselves celebrants, and Invited the others to join with them in the festivities. A tempting lunch was served in the dining room at the K. of P. Home, accompanied by a jolly good time, with music, both Instrumental and vocal, by Mendames Fred Vaughn, George Henneford and S. E. Shamp. A birthday party was given at the home of Miss Jeanetto Kinney on South Fourth street Sunday evening in honor of her sixteenth birthday anniversary.

Dunn gave a very enjoyable party at their home, corner Monroe and First- streets, in compliment to his father, Mr. Dunn, of Illinois, who returns to his home after a visit here.
