Entered at the poatoftlM in Decatur, Indiana, as sceond cUmi omiL The cleaning up day has not yet been announced. It won’t be unless some one makes up his mind that he is going to see that it is done. Its so important that we hope that it is not lost in the shuffle. Decatur is still the best town on earth. We love it and its people, and we want to see it progress steadily and forever. Let's go out and land a good factory, lets build those parks we need, lets do all the things to be done, forget our ill-feelings towards the other fellow, and it will be amazing how quickly we will all be pulling together. It does not matter how clumsy your feet are if they are pointed in the right direction and moving. In the opinion of President Wilson the bill California proposes to enact regulating the ownership of lands in that state and barring out foreigners, is a violation of a treaty which exists and is in full force between this country and other nations. It is the further opinion of Ppresident Wilson that the enactment of such a law will do no good as It will be pronounced void by the supreme court. Inasmuch as the law has failed to get the approval of the national administration, it is a foregone conclusion that Japan will not take the action of California at all seriously but will patiently await the action of the supreme court of the United States. —Columbia City Post.

It comes under the auspices of the Euterpean club. J. O. Flox of Columbia City and | Louis Flox of Plymouth will be guests iover Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. I. Bern- ' stein. They are brothers of Mrs. Bernstein. An evening in newspaperdom was the pleasing experience of the senior I high school class and the high school teachers when theywere entertained by ■ Dan Tyndall, a senior, at his home on Monroe street last evening. A very cordial greeting was extended by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tyndall; who gave over the home to the party, and passing within the house the guests were soon mingling in animated freedom. For on the back of each one was pinned some head-line from a newspaper on a current topic of the day. These were guessed by the bearer from the answers to his questions and the convo-satiqn carried ont about him by the others. This free mingling soon did away with any formal constraint that might attend a gathering

of this kind and paved an open way for the other delightful entertainment series, \A. number of familiar, nicely illustrated advertisements were pinned about the rooms for guessing, and Miss Ethel Fuhrman was awarded a dozen carnations for being the most successful. Representative of the art department was the guessing of the, names of famous paintings, by articles placed on a table, this contest being in the nature of charades. Illustrated by inanimate objects. A dozen carnations was the prize in this also and was carried off by Miss Mary Erwin. .Partners for the luncheon, which was given in two courses, were found by matching paragraphs from a news paper. On the dessert plate of the second course came the joke department of the paper. Clever jokelets were cut from newspapers, pasted on a card, tied with purple and gold ribbon, the high school colors. Assisting the hostess in the luncheon were tlrb Misses Caroline Gerber and Bertha Heller. Every minute of the evening was filled with pleasure, and between the entertainment series were sandwiched other games and music. Spring flowers and blossoms were used in the decorations. The fragrance of the flowers filled the rooms with a spiciness and fragrance that was delightful, for there were many vases filled with violets and branches of sweet apple blossoms were twined about the chandeliers or placed wherever their effect was the best. On the porches also the guests found the May-time sweetness in the air for the evening was an ideal one. The teachers present were Mejgrs. J. c. Tritch and M. F. Worthman and the Misses Clara Williams. Frances Dugan, Fannie Fr'slnger and Lena Sutton. Besides Felix Holthouse the other guests were the members of the senior class as follows; i Lulu Atz, Electa Baltzell, William i Beavers.
