Entered at tbe postoffice at Decatur Indiana, as second-class mall matter Let’s give a long, strong pull, all together, and see how far we will push ahead the next year. There is scarcely a day but that some one is here seeking a location for a new industry. Each is given consideration, and some of these days there will be some good news to circulate. It is said that the county council, at their meeting next month, may consider the proposition for a county hospital. The Lord knows we need one and it is to be hoped the matter can be arranged in such a manner that will provide one quickly. We have received three subscriptions of twenty-five dollars each, substantial encouragement of our effort to secure a free feed yard, for the farmers who trade in Decatur. There are many more who have said they will aid. Os course every man who can do things has his hands full in these busy days, but here's a golden opportunity for some one to build himself into the hearts of the farmer, .lust a little effort on the part of some one will secure this badly needed convenience.' We realize the farmer does, not. want any more than is due him and we are not trying to injure the business of any man, but we believe that this thing is an absolute necessity. In many places they have the old-fashioned Pitching rack about the court house or somewhere else. We haven’t even a place where the farmer can hitch without being subject to a fine. We don’t believe this is right. Neither do we want to go back to the old idea of a hitching place about the court house, but at a small cost we could provide a lot for the purpose, with racks and shelter, a watering through, etc., and as soon as possible add thereto with a rest and parcel room. It would be a popular place and would more than any one thing we could do extend the glad hand of welcome to the class of people who keep up this community. Who will take hold? Jesse Rupp, president of the Adams County Sunday School association. has prepared statistics which show that Monroe township, with a population of 3,566, has a Sunday school enrollment of 2.037, with an average attendance of 1.527. It is a wonderful showing and far outclasses any other township in the county. The next highest is Washington township with a population of 5,824, and a Sunday school enrollment of but 1.387, and an average atendance of but 885. A note to the report says that there are a number of parochial schools in

the north, half of the county, which is given as a cause for Monroe leading, but we doubt if that is the real cause for such a difference, for Wabash, including Geneva, has but 626 enrolled and an average attendance of but 413. The facts are that Monroe township has made the most wonderful strides in Sunday school and other religious advancement of any in the county, and we doubt if they are excelled in the state. The real reason of their success is that they work for it. Mr. Rupp is a banker, but he finds time to devote to Sunday school work, as do others of the leading citizens there, and it pays. The report should inspire others to work, for if there is a time in one’s life when he needs spiritual instruction, it is when he is young. The lessons taught during the Sunday school days are never forgotten and every man and woman is bet ; ter for having had it, and for keeping at it. The report should inspire the other townships. However, we believe that to be fair the parochial schools should likewise be included.

IN MOTHER EARTH Were Three Adams County People Placed After Sad Services. GOTTEMOLLER CHILD Seymour Worden, Veteran and Citizen, and Mrs. Craig of Berne. • Many of the friends and relatives of Irene Henrietta Gottemoller, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Gottemoller. whose death occurred on Tuesday morning, gathered for the last time to pay their sad respects, which were held this morning from the St. Mary's church, with Father Wilken officiating. Interment took place in the St. Joseph's cemetery. • The town of Berne today showed by the large attendance at the funeral service of the late Mrs. John Craig, the high esteem in which she was held by the people, when they gathered at the home this afternoon to pay their respects to one who had been near and dear to them. The services were conducted by the Rev. Kattman, who paid a glowing tribute to the estimable lady, and one who was respected by all. Burial took place in the M. R. E. cemetery. The Salem church east of the city was crowded with friends and relatives of the respected citizen, war veteran and ex-public official, Seymour Worden, for whom last earthly rites were held at 10 o’clock this morning, with the Rev. D. O. Wise, pastor of the Evangelical church, this city, officiating. The officiating minister paid a deserving tribute to the respected man, who was beloved by all with whom he made an acquaintance. A number of people from this city were in attendance, as well as many from throughout the county.

LANDSATNEWYORK Aviator Harry N. Atwood Arrived at Journey’s End at 2:25 O’clock. CHEERED BY MANY • / Old Soldiers Reported to Have Been Killed on Way Home from Rochester. (United Press Service.) New York, N. Y„ Aug. 25—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Harry N. Atwood | today completed his St. Louis to New York flight, passing down the Hudson river in front of Manhattan at 2:25. He started from Nyat at 1:40 and headed down the river, rounded the battery and then sailed to Govern-' or's Island, where he landed. Thousands jammed the water front and whistles from the steam docks and factories blew forth a mighty wel-' come. Nyack, N. Y., Aug. 25—(Special to’ Daily Democrat) —Rain that fell all night added to the trouble of Aviator ! Atwood and it appeared that he would not be able to start from Hook Moun tain to New York before this after- i noon. Rain was falling from thick.l heavy clouds, but from appearances it j seemed that it would terminate. Atwood was confident, however, and. showed no signs of dismay. Pelsen, Germany. Aug. 25—(Special’ to Daily Democrat > —Twenty-five per-j sons were killed and 60 injured when the choir loft of a church at Binew collapsed today. Scores of persons were hurt in the panic which followed after the crash. Rochester, N. Y.. Aug. 25—(Special to Daily Democrat) —It is reported that two cars on an eastbound Lehigh ' Valley train went through the bridge near Manches this afternoon, killing and injuring a number of the passengers. The first report states that 25 had been killed, but this has not been confirmed. Many of the passengers were old soldiers and were returning from the G. A. R. encampment.

The office employees of the Ward Fence company are loafing today, at least those who work on the books are, and from an unusual cause. The big vault door is locked and all efforts to open it have so far failed. Recently one of the men changed the combination and when it was thrown Thursday night it could not be opened. The combination has been tried in every conceivable manner, but without res ilt. and it is possible that an expert will have to be secured to open the vault. - — GIRL WANTED—To do kitchen work.
