Let’s don’t put off what should be done. It doesn’t mean a great outlay of money, the increase of taxes or anything else, but a little "do-lt-ive-ness.” The building of the Waring factory, the Decatur Automobile company’s addition, the remodeling of a dozen or more dwellings, the erection of three or four school houses in this vicinity, and other building being planned, should make Decatur a busy place thia summer. Clean up your yard. Nothing so helps the appearance of a city as clean, well kept lawns, and don’t forget the back yard. It’s a very necessary preventative of disease. Owing to the dry weather, you should be careful in burning rubbish. If you do so, watch the sparks, but* better haul it away. *’ So far the month of May has been a record breaker for hot weather, the first twelve days having been the warmest in ten years. A year ago the cold weather and the frosts were killing the fruit. Now the hot weather is causing human death. Tuesday the thermometer registered ninety in Cleveland and the hot sunt sent four to the hospital and one to the morgue. In Chicago the heat registered eightyseven. Guess we can’t just figure on the month of May. QUEER RACE ON AT COLUMBUS. (United Press Service.)

The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette gives the following account of the wedding of Arthur Sawyer of Ft. Wayne, who is known to Decatur people, having visited here often with the Charles True family: “In the midst of exquisite blossoms from orchard trees, arranged by the loving hands of her associates in the Altar Guild of Gethsemane Episcopal church, Miss Charlotte Tuttle Alden of Marion, Ind., became the bride of Mr. Arthur Glenn Sawyer of this city at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Branches of snowy apple blossoms hid the choir rail, and the tall vases of the altar were filled with the fragrant fruit blossoms while smaller ones held bride roses and ferns. As the bridal party entered the church Miss Alice Goldthwaite sang an Episcopal hymn, The Voice That Breaches O’er Eden,” and as Mr. Sawyer met his bride at the choii steps she sang another beautiful hymn, ’Oh Precious Love.’ As the bride entered the church with her aunt Mrs. Harriet Alden, of Kansas City,

Mo., who gave her away, she was preceded by the ushers, Messrs. Clarence Bittner and Isaac McKeever, of the editorial staff of the Marion News-1 ribune, of which the bride was a valued member for three years. The bridegroom had no attendants and walked with the rector. Reverend Howard Russell White. The double ring service was read and at its close the triumphant strains of the Mendelssohn chorus from Midsummer Night s Dream,' sounded as a recessional. The bride was married in her traveling costume, a smart tailored suit of dark blue, with blouse and hat of the same colo r . A feather band of blue encircled the chic little toque, and pink roses added a Frenchy touch to the whole. Instead of a bridal bouquet a corsage of white rosebuds and for-' get-me-nots was worn. The marriage ceremony was read in the presence of one hundred guests, who numbered the nearest friends of Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer. In the number were the groom’s parents and his sister, Miss Ada Sawyer. Mrs. George P. Torrence of Las ayette, president of the Woman’s auxiliary of this diocese, a particular friend of the bride, was also one of the guests. The bride and groom motored part way to Fort Wayne, arriving here last evening and will be at home at 514 Fairmont place until June Ist, when they will be at Crooked lake un til the first of October. The bride is charming and cultured and has taken a prominent part in the civic affairs of Marion since coming to Indiana from her childhood home in New Hampshire. Mr. Sawyer is a graduate of Purdue university at ayette and is one of the most successful of the younger mechanical engineers of the city.” The life and works of Charles Dudley Warner were very thoroughly and interestingly studied Thursday evening by the Euterpean club under the leadership of Mrs. Ell Meyer at the home of Mrs. John Parrish. On this evening the annual roll call was also held, this being for the enrollment of those for the new year’s work. There will be one more study period this season. The last meeting will be held next Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer and there will be a study of national Russian music, the program to be given under the direction of. Miss Midge Smith and Mrs. E. B. Adams. The committee on the outline of the new year’s work will report at this meeting. Geneva residents are just becoming aware of the marriage of two of their young people—Miss Sarah Miller and Guy Shoemaker—which took place April Ist, at Hillsdale, Mich., the ceremony being performed by Rev. Connor. After July Ist Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker will be at home at 524 Kinnard avenue, Fort Wayne. Mr. Shoe-

maker was graduated from Purdue university last year and is now engaged in electrical engineering in Fort Wayne. The members of the Evangelical Ladies' Aid society In the number of thirty-two were royally entertained Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Leonard Merryman, on Rugg street.

Miss Ruby Miller will be hostess to the Entre Nous club this evening instead of last evening.

The United Brethren Ladies’ Aid society had a large attendance at the meeting at the home of Mrs. John Wisehaupt, the interest and collection being also accordingly large. A very good social time was spent. The wedding of Louise Kizer and Martin Frosch, two prominent young people of near St. John’s, was solemnized Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the St. John’s Lutheran church north of this city by the Rev.
