Perhaps yob do not realize that a great amount of interest is just nov being manifested in the movement to ■ build a Y. M. C. A. or a boys' gymnasium in this city. From every church j and lodge and many individuals come ‘ "remises of support and when the hidden force breaks loose one of j these days Decatur will have a boys' i and girls' home, equaled by but few i cities our size, it may be of inter- ; est to many of our readers to know . that one man has promised a donation of several thousand dollars, while a hail-dozen will each subscribe SI,OOO. A committee of business men went to Auburn Thursday where Mr. Eckhart is giving the city a Y. M. C. A. The plans used there were discussed and it is likely that a meeting will be called in this city soon for the purpose of organizing a concerted effort for a bulding here. .Such a building and institution means a great improvement for a community. It means a clean and well kept place of amusement for the young people, where the boys and girls may have the pleasures which go with a gymnasium, a reading room, an auditorium, , surrounded by uplifting environments i that tend to make better men and women. In connection are the night schools, training work, tne social, educational, physical training and other departments which combined make the place attractive and delightful. Every act we do toward making better men and women means much toward the future standard of this community. it works every problem and it is the big and broad way to solve them. • T. F. Theime of Fort Wayn* is fighting for the Koenig bill providing for a commission form of government for Indiana cities. He talked four hours to the committee on cities and towns Thursday, butaction was deferred. Mr. Theime and a number of other Indiana men have4>een agitating, for months the commission ferm of government for cities, with the idea of taking the affairs of the municipality out of politics. While there is much to be said for it, there is also some sound argument against it EPWORTH LEAGUE PROGRAM. Another good program for the Epworth League is announced for Sunday evening at the M. E church, when Mrs. C. L. Walters will lead. The program: Song Service. Devotional. Instrumental Solo—" Nocturne,” by Chopin—Miss Rose Smith. Paper—“lTospects In Africa’’— Neva Brandyberry.

Kinna, corner of Court 1 ' and Third streets, was given a very complete surprise Thursday evening I by about twenty-five of her class ’ mates and friends. Her mother had j invited the guests late in the afternoon, and while Miss Beulah was expecting two little friends, Geraldine Brandyberry and Alta Teeple, to come for the last “doll party” before these pleasures were relegated forever to the happy past of childhood, she was totally unprepared for the large num- ■ her of friends that greeted her when* she answered a knock at the door at 7:30 o’clock, as she went there with j her doll, tucked under her arm. The I surprise wore away, however, in time 1 for Miss Beulah to join heartily into the good time that followed. There were games and music and merry-1 milking until the party was ushered into the dining room, for refreshments. A subdued light fell there, from the fourteen twinkling candles that glittered from the top of the large birthday cake, adorned also with myrtle. Mrs. Kinna was assisted byMrs. Mary Eley in serving the delic-' ious supper, which was eaten by thelight shed from the candles. The pretty cake was then cut and its in-I terior was found to be as beautiful. 1 with its many colored layers in pretty , delicate tints.
