Tucker, writing for the Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking for the progressive spirit among Indiana democrats, says: “The indications now are that the present democratic legislature will be about as progressive as any that has met lately in this country. Already it is certain that the legislature will give the state a good public utilities commission law and an inheritance tax.” One of the most successful business ,uen of Decatur, in discussing the new school building proposition, advises that the proper way to handle the matter is to unite the township and city, tear down the Central building, and rebuild there, in doing so, we could save the lot, which means $lO,to 315,000, and perhaps as much or ; nearly so by using the old material. j it sounds good and is at least worth i your consideration. This proposition ' is one that must soon be looked square in the face, and you should be getting your nerve up to a point where you can do it to the best advantage. We know a man who will pay an amount equal to at least one-third the entire cost of building a boys home. ( This is not hot air, but a real and earnest cold fact. Does it sound good to you? A boys and girls gymnasium means a clean and attractive place fcr your children to use, a place in which they can spend their times admist surroundings that will elevate and help them to be better men and women. It will raise the moral tone of the community, give us healthier men and women and solve every problem of the future. Its coming may ccme sooner than you expect. • "The investment la men and boys,” as the Y. M. C. A. refers to its properties scattered from coast to coast, has increased in the last ten years by over 350,000,000, the total having now reached 3*1,600,000 and it is growing rapidly. One announcement Just made adds 3700,000, seven cities having accepted the offer of 335.000 to each city for Y. M. C. A. work for negroes which requires that 375,000 additional be raised. This offer was made by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who is industriously distributing his wealth in the most practical way he can find and who is particularly liberal toward Y. M. C. A activities. The seven cities are Chicago, Washington, D, C.,

While the birthday anniversaries do not come on the same day, they come so nearly together that the observance is a , union event It was held last year at the Kitson home.

Not a hint was given i that the affair was on her birthday anniversary, but one of the guests happily remembered that it was such and the company surprised her by

presenting her with six handsome cut-glass tumblers. At 8 o'clock the dining room was thrown open and the guests seated at the little tables, where a very tempting two-course lunucheon was served. Potted primroses and Cinerarias and fragrant cut carnations in vases adorned the sideboard. The appointments in detail were perfect and beautiful.

Ohio, and Romer, of St. Henry's, Ohio, In contrast to the wintry gusts without, was the warm, cheery indoor scene, where the girls played progressive pedro and listened to the cheery music, both instrumental and vocal, and then refreshed themselves with the appetizing luncheon to fortify against the war with the elements in the return home.
