This delegate will also assist in the election of a delegate to the national conference to be held in Minneapolis later. I j Mr. and Mi’s. Vincent Forbing, who 1 : were recently married, are comfort-1 ably at home on the Peter Forbing , farm in St. Mary s township. This I, is the sixty-four acres recently pur-1. . chased by Mr. Forb'ng from Deputy ■ Auaiiut Paul Baumgartner, who has ' moved to Mercer avenue, t1..0 city, to i make his home. I | Owing to the fact that the interurban cars were running off schedule, i Mrs. Stella Phillips, the domestic science tc-acLer, r >uld not arrive until -Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock, Instead • f 10 o’clock, and therefore could not ■gel things in readmess tor the first I section of the high school cooking ! class. This section was accordingly j dismissed and me next two took their regular instruction. This first sec I tion '< was, however, a lesson ahead , of the others, so this sets them even I again, and makes things more coni venient for all. The classes made ginger bread Monday, and the first ! section postponed its plain butter cake ' i making until next week, when all will work at that. It is thought thaf paI per bag cooking will be taken up the week lollowing. The lessons are giv- : en by the Indiana Lighting company ,at the local office. It is said that i the announcement of a pleasant little . surprise will be made at the next j week's lesson. — A PIONEER DIED I Mrs. John Studabaker of i Bluffton Passed Away at 9 a. m.

REGULAIE TRAFFIC I I City Council Prepares Ordi-' | nance Governing Traffi in City of Decatur. E IN CASE OF FIRE { I Penalty is Attached to Those J Who Violate Law and I Soon to be Enforced. An ordinance regulating the traffic I in the city of Decatur on occasions of; | fire was prepared and brought before ■ the city council Tnesdav evening at I Cite regular session, for the public 11 safety, and governing people and mov- | ing vehicles alike. The ordinance, j | which was read by the clerk was j I quite lengthy and covers many rules | to be observed in case of fire. The or- | dinance reads that when a fire alarm | is sounded all pedestrians are to take 11 the right side of the walk as the statute by law requires; if not, safety protevtion is adverse to them, and the city is not responsible should accident occur. When an alarm is sounded all moving vehicles wagons, buggies, automobiles, motorcycles, bicyclbs and J other vehicles are required to stop to ascertain the whereabout of the fire, and having done so arc to give the full liberty of the street to the fire department, should it be in the diriection in which they are traveling. Should any one, either person or moving vehicle, be found violating this ordinance, they will be -guilty of a misdemeanor, and a penalty of a fine of not less than $.7.00, nor more than $20.00 can be affixed for the violation, with also a sentence not to exceed thirty days of incarceration, if it is so desired to attach. This was done for the better protection of the citizens of Decatur, and when the new city hall is completed, and the new chemical engine in operation, such a law* will be necessary, as is the custom in all cities. It is a good one, and if al labide b ythe laws as laid down by the city officials there will be cause for no violation to the law, and all accidents can easily be averted.

The approach of St. Valentine's day February 14th, is being heralded by 1 the windows and book and drtr stores, where there is on display ev- i ery kind of appropriate missives, from ■ the gorgeous and expensive creations of celluloids, tinted paper, tinsel ami pasteboard, down to the plainest of i postcards. More noticeable this year than ever in the absence of the old time penny-a piece comic valentines-.. These were generally coarse produc--1 tions, usually with caricatures of hu- | man forms depicted upon them, and were often meant to reflect upon the personal appearance, habits, charac- ■ ter, etc., of the recipient. They have ■ been replaced by the post, card, none ' the less satirical and humorous, but lacking the vulgarity and offensiveness. The sensational and amatory kinds become more and more elaborate and their popularity does not seem to wane, each new generation falling into the ancient custom. According to the old love-making formula, a young man or woman betrothed during this season could consider the promises broken if the other failed to give a present or entertainment of some kind before mid-Lent. It is a
