Entered at the postottice tn Decatur, Inditna, as sceond claoa uail. H. G. Niles, a South Bend manufacturer of woolens, contends that free wool will make the price of that product higher for the reason that it will make London the center of the wool market of the world, and as the demand for wool at the present time exceeds the supply the world over the competition will be stimulated and the price will rise. This same individual objects to the lowering of the advalorem duty on woolen goods, claiming that the foreign mills can turn out goods much cheaper than the American mills. The contention in this country for some time past has been that the woolen goods have been too high, and the framers of the tariff bill, no doubt, had that in mind, when the bill was framed. What a surprised bunch sheep raisers would be if free wool raised the price!—Columbia City Post. A visitor in Decatur told us this morning that he had never been in a city of fivethousand population which impressed him with being so good a town as this. It does one good to hear such remarks. That’s why we are telling you. We can make it better, if we will just devote some time and energy to it and the future will be brighter and better for everybody. A live community is the best for everybody, and a live community is one where the people are all hustling and working for the general good of that community. There is no hidden meaning in these lines. We are not talking local option or anything else except that we ought to line up for a prosperous and busy season, that we may all be happier, and that visitors here may continue to say, “Decatur is the best town we have ever visited for its size.” If we expect to go forward in the industrial line, we should be getting busy. Woodrow Wilson has already made good as president of the United States. You may verify this from the first man you meet in the street, regardless of his political creed, race or color. It seems to be in the air everywhere. The people appear to understand that Woodrow Wilson Is on the job at Washington, working carefully, courageously and conscientiously in their interest, and they stand ready to hold up his hand as often as he may need the backing of the public sentiment. President Wilson's action ii reading his message to the members of congress face to face is being applauded everywhere. Here is the story of the president's visit to the capitol, told in minutes: 12:42, cabinet meeting adJSL. \ Job * YOU’LL never know how distinctive you look in a tailored-to-order suit until you leave your measure and select one of the handsome woolens we’re showing at a cost way below your expectations.

Nevah, little daughter of Mrs. Anna lonian, will be eight years old Sunday but the event is being celebrated this afternoon. Fifteen little friends of Miss Nevah are spending the afternoon with her and enjoying the round of games, music and refreshments that come, each in its turn. The birthday cake with its candies is a feature of the luncheon. Miss Minnie Orvis left today for Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she will be a guest for two weeks of Mrs. M. E. Brackett, formerly of this city. Tre officials of the Rebekah ladge announce a ten cent social for the public for next Thursday evening. Each member of the Rebekahs is invited to bring four friends and enjoy the excellent entertainment outlined by the committee. MAL BE PROGRAM LATER Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Semans and daughter, Sarah, were royally entertained at 6 o’clock dinner Friday evening by Mrs. J. S. Bowers, the same \ being in the nature of a farewell dinner before they leave for their future home at Goshen, where Rev. Semans has been assigned pastor of the First M. E. church. The hospitality of the Bowers home was opened in full for the Semans family and a very delightful time was spent. The Misses Ruth and Alma Bowers served the dinner. It Is not often that Christmas joys last so long as they have for the Dr. W. E. Smith family. Fine red oak leaf branches were pressed and dried for holiday decorations. When these were being taken down, a cocoon was found in one. This was carefully sav|ed In the hopes that the butterfly would emerge, although It was feared that the cocoon might have been destroyed in the pressing of the leaves. The branch was placed among the oth;cr plants in the bay window and the , family had the pleasure of seeing the butterfly emerge nt 2 o’clock this afternoon. It is a very beautiful speef- ' men which the doctor has identified as a “Death Head Moth.” Another cocoon which they have will also be watched with interest. Miss Effie Rex of Ossian was the guest of the C. H. Colter family at dinner today. Mr. and Mrs. N. • I. Kiracote and daughter, Ednar, of Wren, Ohio, arrived today for a week-end visit with their son, J. B. Kiracofe, and family. R. D.

WILL EARN SALARY The New Truancy Law is Strict—Accurate Tab Will be Kept ON THE CHILDREN All Under Sixteen Must Attend School Until Past Fifth Grade. Truant officers wil learn their money under the new law which requires that all children under sixteen years shall attend school until they have passed the fifth grade. Under this law, which is in force now, no child who has not passed the fifth grade may be employed in any gainful occupation during the time that school is in session. Even when the child has passed the fifth grade the parent or guardian and the employer arc required to go through a mass of red tape in order to give the child work. Under an emergency clause the law becomes effective as soon as it was passed. The law’ imposes many new duties on the truant officer, who, in counties of a certain size, is also to act as probation officer. He is to nose around in the private family affairs of the people in his district and act as a sort of grandmother to the children. If a child absents itself from school long enough he is to file a charge against it, and have it bundled off to the reform school as an incorrigible. Teachers are required to keep an accurate record of the attendance at school of all children under them between the ages of seven and sixteen, i so that the attendance officer may know when and whereto butt in. If the child under age wishes to be employed its employer must do several things, among which is to apprise I the officer of what kind of work he is going to give the child, etc. Not exceeding 5 cents on each >IOO of taxable property may be levied for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the act. The enumeration of children is required to include a sworn statement of the place and date of birth of every child from the parent, guardian or other person having control of such child. Permittting any child under sixteen years of age to be employed in violation of it subjects the parent or guardian and the employer to a fine of from >lO to >IOO. o A NARROW ESCAPE. Quite a bit of excitement was caused on Second street this afternoon at 3 o'clock when the horse, which Mrs. IRoy Ballard was driving, with a singleseated buggy, became unmanageable and ran down Second street at a 2:40 gate. Its race came to an end when the buggy to which it was hitched, ran into another rig that was standing hitched to a telephone pole in front of the court house. The horse which was hitched to the buggy at the post was thrown over, but did not injure itself. Mrs. Ballard was riding with Mrs. John Ballard and her three little children, but none were hurt in the accident. She was thrown out of the buggy, but did not receive any injuries from the fall. ——o — CLAIM A VICTORY. (United Press Service) Washington, D.

SPEED KING IS READY! ; F —f 808 BURMAN. That “Wild Bob” Burman, the Speed | King, will participate in the third an 1 nual five-hundred-mile Internationa] Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, is a matter of interest to all followers of automobile racing. Burman has been closely identified with this sport for years and his reputation for speed and courage is second to none. A list oi his brilliant victories would fill a large volume and he was crowned the Speed King at Indianapolis May 30. 1911. During the automobile snow which was held in New York in January, Burman went from the Pacific coast to New York City with the avowed purpose of selecting a mount for the five-hundred-mile race at Indianapolis. He settled on the Keeton car and soon entered into negotiations j with that company. His proposition was accepted and Burman immediately went to Detroit to supervise ths construction of the car he elected tc drive. Burman is confident that he will be among those present when the prize money is distributed, after the • 500-mile race, May 30. SEAT SALE HEAVY ORDERS HAVE NOW BEEN RECEIVED FROM EVERY STATE. Foreign Organization* Anxious to At tend 500-Mlle Race to Support Their Country'* Car*. Although it is over two months b» tore the third annual 500-mlle International fiwqepstakee race will be Staged at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, a large force ot ticket sellers is now busy at the Speedway office in Indianapolis filing mail orders and sending out tickets to those who are securing their reservations in advance. The sale was opened January 13, and from the very first day the rush was unusually heavy, and never, since the Speedway races became the big sporting event of the country tour years ago, has the advance sale been as heavy as it is at present. It is a matter of record that orders have been received from every State in the Union, and In addition to these, there have been numerous orders from Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Pan- I aiua and various European countries. One of the first orders received came from a party of Englishmen, who expect to make a tour of America this summer and who will begin their trip by a visit to the Indianapolis races. These men are interested in the Sunbeam car, which is considered ths fastest of all English cars and which will participate in the race with Albert Guyot, the celebrated French driver at the wheel. English societies in Chicago, Cleveland, New York. Pittsburg and San Francisco have also reserved large blocks of seats, and two of these societies have announced their intention of coming to the race headed by military bands. One Canadian organization expects to come in a special train and will bring a band of Scottish pipers, dressed in the kilts of the Highland clans. The Alliance Francaise, one of the most prominent French *ocieties of the country, which has branches in almost every city where there is a French colony, has made inquiries regarding seat reserva-! tions, and is anxious to be represent- ' ed by members from as many chapters as possible. The interest of the Frenchmen has been aroused since it became known that two Peugeots, the well known French cars, would be en tered in the contest. 'This will be the first time that the 500-mlle race has been truly Interna tiona! in character, for although foreign cars have taken part in the previous races, they were entered by American owners and were driven by American drivers. Conditions have changed, however, and this year will see the foreign cars entered by their manufacturers ami with men at the wheels who have established reputations for themselves In the native countries. maii order* and sending out tickets to But despite the heavy advance sale, there is no danger of anyone being disappointed who wlahea to ebe present at the race. The Speedway management ia used to taking care of large crowd* and the grandstand and parking space is almost unlimited. Should it be found that the demand for seat* will exceed the present supply ,Tio time will be lost In erecting extra grandstands to take care of the crowd. It is the desire of those in charge Os the Speedway to offer first-class accommodations to everyone, and they are prepared to meet any emergency which may arise. When the Speedway was first laid out, the engineers who had charge ot the work were instructed to place the grandstands In such away that a good view of ths track oould be secured from every seat. These or- , ders were carried out to the letter, uid consequently no race track in l_tawWorid>e so weli_ arranged as th*
