Don’t forget to clean the outside while dusting up the interior, ft all counts for health and then the appearance you known means much. Many strangers are visiting Decatur each day. We want them to be well impressed with the city. The remarks they make when leaving mean more than we know. If we don't care what they say, however, let's do it for our own good. Every paper you pick up, tells of some great fire disaster. We have called attention many times to the fact that Decatur is not prepared for a real conflagration. Just whose fault it is that something isn't done along this line, we are not prepared to say. It must be someone’s. Business men say they are prepared to guarantee the necessary equipment and let the city pay for it when they can. Certainly a building could be secured that will serve temporarily until a city hall can be erected. Are we going to act or just keep on talking about it? Invitations for commencement exercises will be sent out within the next few days, announcing that on the twen-ty-fifth of the month eighteen young men and women will make their bow to the world. They have devoted the necessary years and work in preparing for a diploma. They are fitted to begin their real education. Some will enter college, some will devote their time to business. In either'case they will find many new lessons, and will discover that they have only prepared themselves well for the commencement of doing things. The class of 1911 is a standard one, clean boys and girls, who will make their way in the big battle. Scott Hughes of Fort Wayne was a business transactor here this afternoon, FOR SALE—Range.
