St. Mary’s Scare — CONTINUED PMOM Page one ‘ The Western Ohio sent over a number of cars to be used in conveying people out of town, but the scare had so far subsided that the ' kindness was accepted by only a few. “As a precautionary measure, and to in a measure allay the fears of the panic stricken public. Service Director Schirenbeck made arrangements to send four or five car loads of stone to a siding near the north end of the bank, to be used in filling any washouts that may occur. A force of men will patrol the bank all ni;;ht for the purpose of watching for any danger that may arise, therefore there is no chance ’of the public being taken by surprise even though the unexpected should happen.” o - - COURT HOUSE QUIET.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY „ .. , . . . ■ bourne of Time For tho from out our • and Place The may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. —Tennyson’s Crossi/g the Bar. The Mite society had a splendid session at the home of Mrs. Milton E. Hower Friday afternoon, when the collection aggregated nearly sl2. The music and readings given by several contributed to the pleasure before the refreshments were served. Mrs. Fred Fruchte gave a piano solo, Miss Shimon sang, the Misses Vera Hunsicker and Muriel Leonard gave a piano duet, and Mrs. Mary Eley gave an excellent , reading, “The Price of a Boy.” The Zion Lutheran Aid society worked busily on quilting Friday aft- . ernoon and evening nt the parochial school house, stopping now and then Ito chat and to enjoy the luncheon served at the supper hour by Mrs. Christian Gotsch. The Woman’s Home and Foreign I Missionary society of the Presbyterian church will meet Tuesday, April 1 at 2:30, with Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer. The reports of the year’s work will be read and the first lesson will be given in the new study course. All are requested to be present Carnations and swansonia, combined prettily with smilax, filled vases for the pretty floral decorations of the Dr. Roy Archbold home Friday afternoon, when Mrs. Roy Archbold and Mrs. Angeline Archbold entertained at an informal tea. Fully seventy ladies called during the hours from 3 to 5 and enjoyed the social mingling and [the dainty refreshments provided. Assisting the" hostesses were Mrs. R. L. Semans and Mrs. J. H. Heller, who poured the tea. Other assistants were Mrs. Jesse Helm and Mrs. Jesse Sellemeyer, who served the tea cakes, sandwiches, tea and other refreshments. The affair was very much enjoyed. This afternoon, Mrs. Roy Archbold is giving a big “five hundred" party. The Rev. Ball and family were happily surprised last evening when forty, six of the members of his church and their friends swooped down on them, [completely loading them down with good things to of value. Among the necessary things for the housewife was a beautifulu aluminum tea kettle, which the minister’s wife prizes very highly; canned fruit, sugar, coffee, honey, rice, eggs, flour, bananas, oranges, etc., etc. The preacher and ■wife don’t care if they come again. The Baptist people don’t believe in doing things by the halves. As a church they have surely demonstrated their high appreciation of their pastor and family, which will long be remembered. After a good social time refreshments were served, after which the pastor madea few remarks and the song, “God be With You Till We Meet Again,” was sung, followed by a prayer. All returned to their homes feeling that the evening had been well spenL • The Little Helping Hand met with

Daily Democrat, Decatur, Ind.: Dear Editor:—lt really matters little, but for the sake of having things correct, I wish to say that in your write-up about the high school-Con-cordia game you make a great error when you say that we had several boys of the first Concordians on our team. When we challenged Decatur for a game we stated that we were all members of class of ’15.” I handed in my line-up as: Luerson, forward; Rehm, forward; Becker, center; Dashner, guard: Roesler, guard, and every one of them is a fifteen man. Now, ft one will take the trouble to inquire, one will find that Luerson plays forward on the first, and Becker center on the second team. Rehm, Dashner and Roesler are some "awful” fast chaps, but as yet play neither with the first nor with the second team. Yours sincerely, O. UNNEMEIER. — "" <r- - PUBLIC SALE.
