Entered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-elaes mail matter Have you cut the weeds? The time of year approaches when they ire most obnoxious and they will soon be dangerous. It is a well known fact that aside from injuring the appearance of a town, they cause disease. Further, it is against the law to permit them to grow. The board of health has ordered them cut and ft’s up to you to do it. This don t viean in the front yard alone, but the entire lot and the alleys as well. Don't think you are being persecuted if you have to pay for not giving attention to this admonition. President Taft is to visit Indianapolis over the Fourth and the boys are having all kinds of trouble in placing the right fellows on the reception and • other committee. One would think there might be some politics in this visit. It should be remembered that about a year ago William Howard refused flat-footed to have anything to do with Indiana. Just when and why he changed his mind has not been announced. Senator Paynter of Kentucky has read the hand-writing on the wall and has side-stepped in the senatorial fight in that state, leaving a clear field for Ollie James, the stalwart congressman from the Blue Grass region. Paynter was a follower of Bailey and his defeat is said to be the first of a series of fatalities growing out of the Lorimer investigation. The "hobo” headquarters in Decatur should be broken up some way or oth- * er. The arrest of a bunch of them Saturday night came near resulting in a serious shooting. They are, as a rule, bad citizens, and drastic measures should be taken to keep them away from here. The Fourth of July in Decatur will be rather tame from present appearances. It wouldn’t cost much or take much effort to at least arrange for a meeting at which the Delcaration of Independence could be read. Anything desired could be added.

Must Be in Best of Health to Bring 8 About Best School Work. 0 8 Within the next few weeks teacis 5 ers for all of the public schools in the s - state will have been selected. Town--1 ship and city and town school trus- . tees are making selections now. The ' state board of health, after a study of - disease ana aeatn statistics concerne ing public schools, extending over several years, has issued a suggestion to school authorities against the employ1 ment of teachers who are not thor- ] oughly well physically, on the theory that the teacher should teach and ex5 emplify health as well as culture and e that a teacher who is constantly “out e of sorts" because of ill health cannot B teach children properly and cannot t render value received for the money paid her by the state. In summing ’ up the state board of health says: e "Teachers should exemplify and . teach health as well as teach and ex- . emplify culture. 11l health is usually , the result of wrong living, and not to know how to live rightly is a terrible indictment of a teacher.” LA DELLES AT CRYSTAL. , Tomorrow evening at the Crystal ! theater the LaDelles will again appear |in public and the Decatur folks will • j have another opportunity of witnessi ( ing high class performing and singing. Clifford will be accompanied at the piano, while the LaDelle sisters will render some of the latest song hits and display their skill in the way of dancing. Several good films will be on hand for the evening and an excellent program will be the outcome j for the evening. At the Crystal. ■ o PICNIC AT ROBISON PARK.

Fort Wayne, July 20th, and, the pupils of this school are looking forward with much pleasure to the event. An endeavor will be made to j secure enough passengers to charter; two interurban cars and the trip to Fort Wayne will be a feature of the day for the little ones. o HORSES RUN AWAY. ' A farm team, hitched to a cattle' wagon, ran from the G. R. & I. railroad cattle yards near Madison street, and were finally stopped when they ran into a yard and against a tree, the tree acting as a break between the two horses, one running on each side i of the tree. A little boy, who was holding the horses, was unhurt, and no serious consequences resulted to ■ the horses and wagon. ■ o DIOCESE CHANGES. Bishop Alending Makes Fourteen Changes in Ft. Wayne Diocese.

One More Game Annexed to the Lost Column. The local base ball team which went to Willshire Sunday, where they en- ( gaged in a game with the city team of , that place, returned home Sunday evening with a look of defeat on their brows. In the first place they had only a picked team, and a number of the regular players did not accompany them, making their condition a badly crippled one, and defeat was expected from the beginning. However, the ‘ Willshire bunch did not put up such a fast game as predicted, and won out by the score of 17 to 16. o- 1 A FIBHING TRIP.

GROUND IS BROKEN. For Library Improvements — Other Building Notes. The brick for the new Waring Glove factory have been hauled to the ground and work will soon begin on that part of the structure. The concrete work of the basement has been finished. Ground was broken this morning on the improvements at the library building, Adolph Hoffman having secured the contract for the excavation of the basement to be used as a coal room, under the northwest part of the library. The room will be finished with concrete and will be large enough to hold a car load of coal or so. This room is made on account of the inconvenience in taking the coal around at the rear of the lot to the room on the south side. REV. PARKER CHOSEN.
