Up to the last week they had made a splendid record, but there is danger that during the rush of the last day or two several "jokers” that. will be hard to explain, may slip' through. Every act of the representatives and senators is being watched and carefully studied by the people of , the state. The next day or two will 1 tell the story. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, will probably be named as the United States minister to Switzerland. Sec-1 retary of State W. J. Bryan will make the appointment. Frank Jacque, of Portland, who is seeking the place of controller of the treasury, also looks like a winner. The announcements will likely be made soon. Mr. Lamb ; is backed by many of the Indiana j leaders, including Senators Shively and Kern. Let’s be friendly. Some how or other we are so constituted that we don't like these queer feelings that are always abroad when important questions are being considered. A community can't go ahead very rapidly unless they are working together. | Let's join hands and go after a good big industry; let’s beautify Decatur; let’s forget everything except that we have work to do, important work for the good of everybody and to do which there must be no division of opinion. President Wilson's cabinet appears in to-day's issue looking at you with serious or smiling faces as caught by the camera man. They have an important place in the history of to-day and it is the belief of those who have studied the subject that they will make good with a capital “G.” Each is an expert along that line on which his advice will be needed and the cabinet will be ably presided over by the president, who is well versed along general lines. New York is preparing to enter upon a thorough bouse cleaning in the spring to the end that the city may be cleaner and healthier than ever before. Dirt and rubbish are to be removed from cellars, yards and vacant lots; the streets are to be thoroughly cleaned and kept clean; the city is to be freed as far as possible from smoke and cinders; the fly and the mosquito are to be destroyed in their breeding places. Let’s clean Decatur. ROOM TO RENT—3O9 North sth St.; room has modern conveniences and is suitable for two persons. 56t3

Garnishee Bill fCout'nu d f...u. < axe 1) until his judgment was satisfied. The bill provides that not more than $3 costs can be collected from the debtor, and that the rest of the cost of obtaining judgment should be borne by the creditor. "No deadbeat ever asked me to vote against this bill," said Spencer. What the bill's chances are in the senate is a mooted question. The labor lobby has obtained nothing from the senate and it is possible that the defeat of the garnishee bill will be arranged to placate labor. The demo- ' crats fear the passage of the bill will ' cost it many votes in the next election and this attitude may further in- • crease the chances of defeat. On the other hand, the merchants of the state have one of the largest and strongest lobbies in years working for the bill. One creditor only could collect nis ten per cent, at one time. Other creditors would have to wait until the judgment first obtained was satisfied. C.O.D. AFTERJULY I Parcels May Be Sent By Post C. O. D. After July Ist Is the Order SAYS THE BULLETIN New Postal Order Will Go Into Effect—What the Rules Are. Postmasters have received in a copy oi the daily postal bulletin the full order regarding the new order making , it possible to send a package through the mails under the parcel past law collect on delivery. It is believed the i new feature of the parcel post system will prove popular. Extracts from this order are as follows: "The parcel post regulations are amended by the addition of the fol- j lowing as section *6, effective July | 1, 1913: "The sender of a mailable parcel on which the postage of the articles and the charges thereon collected from the addressee in payment of a fee of ten cents in parcel post stamps affixed, provided the amount to be collected does not exceed SIOO.

The Eureka club held another one of Jts interesting meetings when the | Misses Hope Hoopengardner and Lenh i Hammond entertained at a joint meet- , ing at the Hoopengardner home.

tne quaint old styles of furniture studled were the Chippendale and Heppenwhite, and the various kinds of China were each given their part in the discussion. A little art gallery was conducted to which each member contributed with pieces of rare old Chipa and other things which were handed down from generation to generation in the family. Among these were nn old snuff box, an Episcopal prayer book and vases of great age, valuable because of their assocications.
