The citizens of Decatur should realize that to give an "Old Home Week" there must be a fund and it is most important that you participate in this part of the program as in the entertainment part. You want tq fee] that you are paying your share. And Mr. Roosevelt is organizing an honest party with such men for its pa-| triotic fathers as Perkins of the Haivester trust, Flynn, the Pennsylvania boss, and others notorious for various reasons. His theory is good, but he should run his own men through the same test that he puts the opposition to. Morning dispatches said that the Chicago convention was being extended by the old guard for the purpose of making Roosevelt look ridiculous. They do doubt know their business, but they are monekying with a past grand master of politics who is liable ar most any time to turn the tables. The hall in which the democratic national convention will bo held has seats for more than 15,000 persons. Maryland has spent $35,000 in putting the hall in shape for the convention, $7,000 of this sum being tor decorations. It is said that fourteen men and six steamstresses were busy for a month putting together and banging the 34,000 yards of cream, gold and white bunting, 6,000 yards of red. white and blue bunting, 1,000 rosettes and the 500 flags that beautify the interior. The hall is described by a Baltimore dispatch as the largest of its kind in the country, being 364 feet wide and 284 feet deep, while the floor is 200 feet by 300 feet. From the sixty-foot walls of granite a dozen carry the arched roof to , . . . . ;li'6te feet. Huge wina height of eighty, z , , w.W-of winrin-; each end aniri dows at each side give amnle light while more than 106 powerful electric lights will illuminate by night. It can readily be imagined that the scene of the democratic gathering will be one of unusual brilliancy and beauty. DIPLOMAS AWAP!) p D 'Continued from Page T> but willing to work will in the long run hold advantage over the bright lad, who in h:L early years of schooling secures his lessons but when the time of work and more difficult problems come, and whom, if tyis energy lacks, will never prove a success. The ; opportunities of today, said Mr. Trav- ■ era, arc golden and plentiful. The farmer, say fifty years ago, who owned perhaps two or three hundred acres, and the wealth held in the hands of but few, is today shared by thousands of farmers who own much smaller acreages, perhaps a hundred, ’ even less, and ho also remarked that the time was coming when tracts of but only five and ten acres would be inhabited by many, and the wealth of this great agriculture field which com"rises one-third of the country's riches, or more than fourteen billion dollars, was another advantage being

1 enjoyed by many today over years ago. Hie talk treated along the linos of the ma&v advantages offered today and closed with a short talk to the - class. His talk was one which dwelt upon every-day, and particularly the present-day events and congratulated them upon their success at which they had arrived. His talk was a splendid one and the many present enjoyed it from beginning to end. A song, "God's Calling,’’ by Frances Deininger, Vera Clark and Elmo Smith, was well received, which was followed with the valedictory, given by been Crawford. He, in behalf of his class, bade farewell to Father Wilken, who for years has been their guide, the sisters, their untiring teacher, every-day classmates and friends of the class room. Father Wilken then presented the diplomas, also congratulating the class upon the success which they had achieved and asked them rot to forget the many good thing? in religious and secular training which were | taught (hem In the St. Joseph's school ; rooms and to make good use of the opportunities (which come in their daily path. In addition to the class diplomas for success in the Palmer i penmanship method were awarded by the faculty of the Palmer Method company for the occasion. Those receiv- i ' ing these were Dreda Parent, Naomi Raker, Helen Starost and Arthur My-1 era. j Give Class Play. Following the exercises a two-act i j play, “The Bell in the Forest," by the ! class, assisted by others pupils, was ■ rendered, and was also an excellent 1 rendition, and spoke well of the train-1 ing received in the school. Previous to the first scene Elmo Smith favor- i ed the audience with a solo, which I was highly interesting and well re- , ceived. The opening act was a morn- | ing scene in the forest. Daniel ( os-1 tello as Prince Percival, with his nobles clad in their robes of best attire, and surrounded by his many attend- ' ants and servants appeared on the stage, rendering the opening chorus. The prince becomes somewhat annoy . ed that his game preserves are infest-I ed by poachers and accusation falls • to Alexis as the guilty poacher, while ; Karl Krag, the guilty poacher, denies j the charge and the blame is fixed upon Alexis. Krag tries to entice Alexis, ] who yielding, is saved when the toll from the bell in the forest is heard. The second scene, as evening of the same day, the guilty is overtaken. Alexis despairing, he is tempted to robbery, but is again saved when he hears he peals from the forest bell. He is falsely accused of the theft, b'j' the guilty is brought to answer, x an ,j ■ !•=■ is again freed when the j^ e i] j n t h e forest always meant -fa him sa ] va . i tion, aga:n rew^^ s innocence. It was an ' n^ r “o.ing rendition through- ? ’i am' p ar t s were well taken by , all. Th{ y had be „ n un (jer the care i ?! .'’ster Aloysia for several weeks.! pi’eparing for the event and were well | received by all. The costumes worn j during the evening were secured from a Cincinnati house and added much to the interest of the play in the cari rying out of the program. It was the I best undertaking of the school and | the close of 1912 will be a long and • well remembered one. WASHINGS WANTED.
