Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall. it’s time to begin doing something on the Home-coming. There is much to arrange. If we can't give it right, let’s forget it, but who said we couldn't do it better than anybody else. We can have a grand old week, if a little enthusiasm can be produced, but you’ll have to stir it up quickly if you would serve it in September. The primary election tomorrow will probably settle the Roosevelt-Taft controversy, though this is about the thirtieth time it has been settled. It is likely that if Taft wins, he will be able to secure the nomination. The same is perhaps true if Roosevelt wins, though neither admits it. The biggest problem is, what will Roosevelt do if Taft is nominated, and nobody knows the answer. Commencement week for the Decatur high schools is here again and the days will be tilled with events that should and will leave pleasant memories in the minds of the twenty-three young people who are finishing the old school days. The parting is, in a way, sad, but the hope that fills the breast at graduating age overcomes all other things. May they all make I good in the big school. "On to Baltimore” is the slogan for democrats all over Indiana. The Hoo- ] sier state will send several special trains to the national convention to i boost for Marshall, and the governor will be well advertised at the big j meeting. It 'ooks now as though a tie-up will result between Clark and Wilson and the Indianians believe that when the tie comes, Mr. Marshall will be the strongest compromise candidate. In causing the arrest of the first hand worker brought into this county by their agents and found drunk in the streets, the sugar company proved their statement that they would do all they could to secure a good class of people and would assist in governing them. Out of over four j hundred foreigners brought in here, this is the first arrest, and it speaks well, proving them a good class as an average and proving that the company means what they say.

Five high schol senior grils gave a leap year entertainment to five senior boys, the affair being truly in the nature of a leap year affai,r. The girls took the boys to the moving picture shows, held their hats there, treated them to chewing gum, and later to ice cream at Joseph & Lang's, escorted them to their homes, the girls walking at the outside of the walk. When they reached the gentlemen's homes they were of course invited in, which invitation they accepted for a short visit. The party included the following: Dallas Elzey, Jennie Long, Gladys Kern, Charles Brodbeck, Rose Green, Carl Batenberg, Neva Brandyberry, William Bowers, Margaret Mills, Sherman Beery. The affair was the result of a banter made by the boys which the girls took up. The Misses Frances Coffee and Josephine Lang have issued invitations to the Poinsettia girls for a friendship shower to be given at the Lang home Tuesday evening for one of their num her, Alma Starost, whose wedding to Mr. Clarence Holthouse will occur on Tuesday, May 28th. o Farewell Discourse CONTINUED FROM T aGE ONE graduating class of 1912 to enter the race of life with a full purpose of winning the good race, and to choose those things that will make them winners. The sermon was one of the best ever delivered to our city’s young people, who, as set forth in their class motto, are about to step "Out of School Life into Life's School.” It will without doubt prove to be the source of inspiration to them during the coming years, which are opening before them, when, now they separate and each pursue the way which branches from the first stage of their education, the highest which can be secured in the public schools of this city. An anthem by the choir, which rendered C. L. Ashford’s “Te Deum Landemus,” was appreciatively received, and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. E. A. Goodwin of the United Brethren church. The graduating class this year comprises twenty-three young men and women and is the largest class since 1897, when the four-year course was established following the three-year course. The graduates are: Ruth Baltzell, Carl Battenberg, Sherman Beery, William Bowers, Neva Brandyberry, Charles Brodbeck, Frances Cole, Naomi Dugan, Dallas Elzey, Helen Fonner, Rose Green. Gladys Kern, Velma Lenhart, Jennie Long, Blanche McCrory. Paul Meyers, Margaret Mills, Gregg Neptune, Zelda Schnitz, Orpha Sheets, Ben Teeple, Edgar Vancil, Milton Yager. o DIABETES.

over a large majority of all cases yield to the treatment; below fifty, and approaching forty, the percentage is not high—probably not much over half yielding. Under thirty the percentage is less and in children recoveries have been very few and most of these were obtained with the aid of skilled physicians forcing nutrition with alkaline treatment to prevent formation of acetones. The new emollient treatment is known as Bloodine Blood and Kidney Tablets. They can be had in Decatur at the Holthouse Drug Co. We desire every patient to write us who is not noting the usual improvement by the third week. Always state age. Literature mailed free, and mail orders filled bv the Bloodine Corpora-
