Entered at the postoftice In Decatur, Indiana, as second cla»a mall. President Wilson has ordered the Department of Commerce to make diligent inquiry into the whys and wherefores if any factory closes down, giving as a reason the reduction of the tariff, and if it is found that the real reason is to affect the congressional elections next fall, there may be something doing.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. The most successful men are not necessarily the ones noisily attracting public attention. The best and most useful women are not the bright butterflies of fashion or the stage, whose press agents incessantly flaunt their pictures and their little nothings before the public. The unlauded men and women who are quietly attending to their own little tasks, every day contributing something substantial to industry, prosperity and progress, rearing children in habits of honest labor and right living, and supplying example that elevates the moral and intellectual level of their little communi-1 ties —these are the men and women of real influence and power. The Richmond high school girls who ' have decided on a uniform and inex-1 pensive style of dress to be worn at their graduation exercises, many of them making their own gowns, are setting a good example. In the same line of reform is the movement of the j Fort Wayne Mothers' club in favor of unifonn dressing for all public school j girls. This will do away with the; needless comparisons between the often over dressed children of the rich and children with poor clothing—comparisons that often cause real suffering to the latter. Grown people do not enjoy bringing their shabby ga r b into contrast with rich and handsome garments, but they can be philosophical about it. Children have no philosophy to comfort them. —Indianapolis Star. Sy a vote of 281 to 139 the house of representatives Thursday passed the tariff bill. Five democrats—four from Louisiana and one from New York— ' voted against it. On the other hand, , two republicans, four progressives and one independent progressive voted for it. So the democratic loss was made 1 good, with two votes to spare. The bill now goes to the senate, where it Is , said that it will meet with vigorous opposition on the part of the republi- i cans. The prediction Is that a final 4 vote cannot be had before August 1. It is said that republican senators un- ,

; DOINGS IN SOCIETY I J WEEKS SOCIAL CALENDAR. Saturday. i Little Quilters —Laura Gerke. Monday. " Ruth Circle—Esther Enos. - The Mother of 5 Your Heart Mrs. Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is the founder of Mother's Day, which will be observed throughout the coun- , try, tomorrow, Sunday, May 11. Many and Adams county churches will observe the day with special ser- ' mons and services. A red carnation • will be worn for the mother who is living, and a white one for the one who has ‘passed beyond.” “It is a holiday of theheartand home,” says I Mrs. Jarvis. “It is a celebration for ■ all nations, races, classes and creeds. ! It is in special honor of ‘the best mother who ever lived' —the mother of | your heart. Help to make it a great t home-coming day, a day of family reunion and of uplift in the home and ,church and the individual lives of men and women.” Whether only a short temporal distance, or that of the “Great Divide” separates us from mother, tomorrow, Elizabeth Barret Browning's beautiful poem, “Borderland,” telFs us that the space is only a very little one, if we will it so. She srys: There is a mystic borderland that lies Just past the limit of our work-day ' ! world,

And it is peopled with the friends we meet And loved a year, a month, a week or day, J And parted from with aching hearts, I yet knew I That through the distance we must lose the hold Os hand with hand, and only clasp the thread of memory. And still so close we feel this land, |So sure we are that these same hearts | are true, That when in waking dreams there ; comes a call , That sets the thread of memory aglow, iWe know that just by stretching out the hand In written word of love or book or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more Across the silence, in the same old way. , Why does some one not originate a “Fathers’ Day?" Some one suggests that a father is deserving of nearly as much praise as a mother. Mrs. Mary K. Jenkins and Miss Virginia Carnahan have returned from Philadelphia, where they spent the winter. Miss Carnahan is spending a few days with Mrs. Creighton Williams, and Mrs. Jenkins will remain at Hope hospital until Mrs. Carnahan returns and opens her home on East Wayne street. —Fort Wayne JournalGazette, On account of many other things that will come later in the week, the Ruth Circle will meet Monday evening with Miss Esther Enos, instead of on Thursday evening, the regular day. The Zion’s Lutheran Aid ladies were busily engaged with their sewing

tn the parochial school room Friday afternoon until the luncheon hour, when Mrs. Henry Gunsett provided toothsome refreshments. The Misses Laura and Ella Lindenmann of Delphos, Ohio, will be tne week-end guests of Miss Agnes Meibers.

The Concord Lutheran ladies' aid society had a fine time at the home of Mrs. William Baker near Williams. The June session will be with Mrs. Jack Kemp at Monmouth, Mrs. May C. Bliss, the lecturer on Mormonism, under he auspices of the Methodist Woman’s Home Missionary society and her helper. Miss Scott, left this morning for Fort Wayne, thence to Redkey. They were entertained while here by Mrs. Dan Beery and Mrs. F. V. Mills. The Misses Leah and Veda Hensley , went to Magley to spend the day with Mrs. Ralph Dettinger, formerly Miss Frances Laman.

The Decatur ladies who accompanied their busbands to Ft. Wayne yesterday afternoon to attend the state T. P. A. convention, had a very delightful time. The ladies were taken to the Elks' Home where they registered and during the reception there from 2 to 5:30 o'clock were entertained by the wives of the T. P. A. officers. > Music was furnished by a harpist and I violinist of skill. In the evening, the j ball at the Anthony was a magnificent i affair. Another delightful social affair of the pre-commencement series for the ( high school seniors was the annual class party of last evening given by City Superintendent and Mrs. E. E. I .Rice. Their daughter. Miss Lillian, J who Is a graduate tms year, was also a hostess, and the high school faculty were also guests. Wild spring flowers and the fragrant lilac were used effectively in decorating, and the ideal weather contributed its share to making the party a charming one. Each

guest on arriving was taken into the picture gallery. Here a shadow picture in profile was drawn, by tracing the shadow as it fell on a piece of paper. When all were drawn, these were arranged in picture gallery form. | In guessing “Who was who,” Miss Ethel Fuhrman was the most successful. I Professor Rice contributed to the good time with a little personal puzzle for each that stimulated their wits and gave a characteristic of each. The | track meet was conceded a very orI iginal and pleasurable entertainment, i Forest Vail and Irwin Merry were the I leaders who chose “sides” for the congest. The first was a “one hundred i yard dash.” Robert Peterson and ! Clyde Hendricks were the contestants • in this, And they found it very differ- | ent from that which they learned to know in their athletic sports. They were required to see which could chew up the ends of a string the faster. Miss Clara Williams and Miss Frances Dugan were the disc throwers and were given paper sacks filled with wind to throw. In the "shot put” the Misses Fay Hammell, Agnes Eady, Mary Erwin and Ruth Patterson competed in throwing a ball through a I hoop. The “obstacle race” was a hu- ' morons one in which the Misses Fanny Frisinger and Bess Schrock vied in a series of funny maneuvers which consisted In standing, sitting, walking, and in the meantime putting on and taking off their coats. While the guests took a little stroll to the porch, a very delightful place in the moonlight, and gave their class yells and class song Miss Lillian Rice arranged a very clever little surprise for their return. Seated at the piano, she played a lively air, and a number of dolls, arranged in a fantastic way, danced to the music. Questions to be answered with phrases beginning with the initials of the guests were read and created much amusement. Delicious refreshments in two courses were served by Professor Rice and daughter, Lillian, and Miss Lena Sutton.

While the study period for the Euterpeans closed a week or so ago, they were resolved that the season should not be formally closed without a last gathering given over alone to the social side of life. This will take the form of a picnic supper this evening at the home of Mrs. F. M. Schlrmeyer, the circle including only the club members.

Albert Hudson and son, Karl, left j this afternoon for Bryant to visit with their daughter and sister. Miss Marie, who is making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Slack, of Bryant. David Liby, who has been afflicted with paralysis since seven weeks ago Saturday, is better, being now able to get around with the aid of crutehea Fine early cabbage and tomato plants for sale at Ful • lenkamps.

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN. ‘ Buy from peddlers as much and as often as possible. Denounce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods. Glory in the downfall of a man who has done much to build up your town. Make your town out a bad place and stab it every chance you get. Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment of the material inte--ests of the people.

Tell your merchant you get goods a great deal cheaper in some other town and charge him with extortion. If a stranger comes to town, tell him everything is overdone and predict a general crash in the near future. Patronize outside newspapers to the ‘exclusion of your own, and then denounce yours for not being as large and as cheap as the city papers. If you are a merchant, don't advertise in the home paper, but compel the editor to go elsewhere for advertisements and howl like a sore head because he does so. Buy a rubber stamp and use it. It may save you a few dimes and make your’letters look as though you were doing business in a one-horse town. If you are a farmer curse the place where you trade as the meanest on earth. Talk this over with your neighbors and tell them the men are rob-

bers and thieve*. It will make your property much less valuable, but you don’t care. —Milford Mail. BIRTH OF A SON To Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cole at Hamilton, Ohio, May 8.
