It is an important time in the history of Decatur. Have you done your part toward securing this big industry that means so much for our fair city and the surrounding country? If not, you are the one who will feel badly. We are not saying this in a spirit of threat, but we we believe that the fellow who really feels good is the man who has done his part toward a public enterprise and knows it, rather than the person who has dodged and shirked. The campaign to raise the fund for securing the sugar factory has been a glorious one There were some who said it couldn’t be done, but like the man who was in jail for something they couldn't put him in for,” it was. The community has responded in a manner that proves we can do things, when the thing has merit. When it hasn't, from this date we shouldn’t try to do it. Many have contributed liberally, whom it was supposed would “backtrack,” and few have not done their share. If you haven't done enough in this campaign to make yourself feel right, get ready for the next one.

A good i word don't cost you anything and the f I compound interest due you in a few years of this will be the greatest in vestment of any you have. President Taft is goihghome, after s a several weeks’ trip across the big ® ] lot. He has had a good time, but the s i ■) j coast to coast flyers and the base ball ’ series attracted much attention and i ■ the president has not caused the excitement that usually accompanies a , presidential journey. lie must have .felt the pulse pretty thoroughly, however. and his future actions in preparation for the 1912 campaign will be watched by the masses with keen !□- i t erest. , The democratic state administra- ■ i tion has conducted the public as-! [ fairs of the state at a saving of about ■ i $35,000 over the last republican ad- ', ministration, but because they have I ’ iiad to pay up debts contracted by the i republicans, it is now being advertised by the republican pi ess that the pres . ent administration has been extrava■'gant. If such nr&leading statements 1 i get votes, after the matter is invest!-, ■ gated, the intelligent voters of Indiana ! will not show the wisdom accredited 5 ; to them. r - > We met a farmer from Tipton coun t ty today who said this was the greatest community he ever struck. "Why." t he said, “Everybody I meet seems to > be a booster, a neighbor, a friend to i everybody else. I believe I would • rather live here, where the atmosphere , 'is clean and bright, than any place 1 - ever struck," and he is looking for a , r I farm right now. Don't it sound good? i Come to Decatur, “sweetest little city 1 in the Hoosier state." You can’t make a mistake.

Williams, a reading by Mrs. Jennie Fuhrman, who gave in I her inimitable way a sketch of Josiah Allen and his wife’s visit to the art J I gallery; a ghost story by Mrs. Mary, ; Eley, were features of the program, re- > freshments of nuts, candy, pumpkin I pie and coffee coming later. The decorations of the home wore in keeping i with the Hallowe'en occasion. The Rose Polly girls entertained • tbeir friends —and their enemies, w’ho were the gentlemen, of course —at the ; home of Miss Esther Heckman on | Marshall street Tuesday even'ng at a, Halloween party. The Hallowe’en col ; ors in red and green were, suggested I in the crepe paper streamers, while autumn leaves were used to hood the I chandeliers and in making festoons, and pumpkin faces twinkled cheerfully I here and there. In a tasting contest, , Otto Green won the first prize, while the booby went to Joe Hunter. Hal- ! lowe’en games of all kinds, with mu- ' sic and dancing, and several more contests, rounded out the hours' picas 1 ure, and at the luncheon hour, a lunch • tn four courses was served in the dining room, the table being tastefully . decorated with the season’s favors. The menu included oyster stew, celery and olives, potato salad, pickles, sandwiches, pumpkin pie. coffee, ice cream and cake. The party comprised Frances Baker, Inez Coverdale, Sylvia Droppieman. Pauline Heckman, Agnes Starost, Joe Fahrenbach, Otto Green, Paul Reinking, Joe Hunter and Don Smith. The Misses Louva Stoneburner and Lucile Coppock entertained twenty of their classmates at a Hallowe'en masquerade party Tuesday evening.

I Needlecraft girls at a delightful HalI lowe’en affair Tuesday evening, the ■ members coming masked. The light j from the cheerful open grate, and from ; candles and pumpkin heads, provided ' the appropriate setting for the even- ; ing, with its old Hallowe'en stunts, I such as biting from a swinging apple. trying one's fortune in .various ways, two interesting contests coming later. In one, in which Hallowe’en figures were to lie formed from transposed letters, Miss Etta Mallonee won the first honors, a passe partout pen and ink , drawing. A magazine contest was also interesting and instructive. Refresh- ! ments, which were very delicious were j appropriate to Hallowe’en, as were the decorations of the home which were of autumn leaves and branches on chandeliers, draperies and mantels, and! ' chrysanthemums in bowds. When Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Welfley returned Tuesday evening from Fort ! Wayne they found a masked host of ■ little friends of the neighborhood I ; waiting to give them a happy surprise. l ' Mrs. Welfley’s sister, Mrs . Florence j ■ Bradbury, had entered into the con-I spiracy with the masqueraders and ' had some fine pop corn balls which i were enjoyed, together with fudge, which they made during the evening, j I A very good time was spent in a social way, and fun prevailed. The party included Dreda and Orval Parent, Mildren, Adrian and Henrietta Coffee,' Ida and Ada Gunsett. Miss Lucile Hale, who will be a No I ' vember bride, was the guest of honor I at a linen shower given Tuesday aft-! ernoon by Miss Pansy Bell, the guests | being the members of the Tri-Kappa ; sorority, with a few others, including' Miss Marie Allison, Mrs. W. H Gleis-' ' er, Miss Zoa Miller of Fort Wayne. | and Miss Madge Ward of Sanford, Fla. Autumnal and Hallowe’en decorations' ' carrying out the color scheme of yel- • low and white gave the home a truly ‘ festive air. Autumn leaves were twinI ed about the chandelier or festooned : on the curtains and walls, and in the] i archways, and vases held a profusion , 1 of white and yellow chrysanthemums. I ' A button-hole contest was a most appropriate one. The pieces of cloth given each guest was decorated with cats standing on a yellow quarter moon against a midnight sky, and near the unworked button-hole, inviting the busy fingers of each was a threaded ■ needle, with yellow floss. Mrs M. A. Frisinger was the most expert in but-I . ton-holing and was given a pretty blue lawn apron and apron bag. while Mrs

! J. O. Sellemeyer won the booby, a ■ card of pearl buttons. These prizes were turned over to the bride-tc be. I All joined in the fortune hunt that followed. English walnuts whose "goodies” were replaced with another | “goody” in the form of a fortune in j poetical form, the halves of the nuts I being then closed with yellow ribbons, were hidden about the rooms, and eagerly sought for, the reading of the for tunes creating much amusement. The ' lunchen in three courses, was served ] on paper plates, and carried out the pumpkin scheme prettily and temptingly, after which came the shower. A large slipper, fully twentyseven | inches long, that was probably lost by the old woman in the Mother Goose book of long ago, was brought in. The slipper was covered with white crepe paper and tied with a large white bow, and was very “bridesy” in appearance. The gifts were wrapped in yellow paper and laid in the slipper, and these the bride was invited to open, reading the interesting and appropriate little original verses which accompanied each. The gifts were varied and beau- ; tfful and a very material evidence of CONTINUE?, ON PAGE TOUR
