Entered at th e postoffice in Decatur, Some hot! Well, what do you expect in Indiana from now on until the hickory nuts are ripe? It’s a safe time to take your northern trip, out if you can only stay a week or two, better put it off a while for it’s our guess that there will be some weather even more unbearable. The Knights of Columbus were here yesterday, coming from various parts of the state, to assist in the initiation of a class of thirty-seven. The lodge is one of the good ones and the men who came here were gentlemanly in conduct and appearance. The lodge is composed of the active men of the Catholic church and made an excellent showing as they marched from the lodge rooms to the church.

Now Secretary Bryan announces that he's going to carry a lunch basket to work with him mornings, and figures that by this method he can not only save an hour's time each day i but have the additional advantages of i a bit of home cooking at his noontime lunch. Mr. Bryan will doubtless soon have the pace at Washington i toned down so that residents there will not be compelled to use the highspeed clutch continuously in order to keep step with affairs.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

the wayside. Instead of bringing their best to God and his service; at the end offer him a broken life and service, when he deserves the best and first. Many have time for everything, but' no time to worship God. Not even one hour can they sjtent on the Sabbath day in his temple. W’hlle others overtax themselves, some by force of necessity, when they do come to worship, they are tired, weary and exhausted, not in the mood to render acceptable service," Here the speaker related where a young man in South. Bend attended a banquet every night iu the week. “How can such an individual be of any value to the services on Sunday, after sacrificing his best during the week Not a few sacrifice their love and affection, upon which the home life is built, upon forbidden altars by the wayside, and when they get Into their home circles they are cross, and out of sorts. The once happy home is said and desolute. Why? Because the love for wife and home has been offered upon some undesirable individual. God, home and church deserve our best first." Christian Church. Rev. Benjamin Borton of Garrett preached again at the Christian church Sunday, his sermons being very fine. He is planning to move to this city and will do so as soon as he can secure a house. Rev. Borton was recently secured to serve as regular pastor here.

CHOPS OFF THUMB Velma Shroll Makes Misstrike With Hatchet— Severed End of Thumb. OF THE LEFT HAND Physician Called to Dress Wound—Other Notes About the Sick. So many jokes have been written | about women not being able to strike where they aim. It may hold true all I right, but the sequel of a strike this morning, was no joke as it proved unfortunate for Vetma Shroll, an employee of the Filler factory. She was using a hatchet and in some way chopI>ed off a half inch of the end of her left thumb. The wound was a very ' painful one, and it was neccessary to call a physician to dress the injury. Miss Neva Brandyberry is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Homer Underwood of Fort Wayne, bringing the good news that Miss Leah Underwood who suffered a concussion ofthe brain and a broken arm in an automobile ' i accident Friday evening, is getting I better. It is thought she will be able to leave Hope hospital today and that she will b e able to go through with the commencement program Friday evening. Miss Underwood is class treasurer and is assistant editor of The Caldron. Miss Brandyberry planned to go down tomorrow to visit with her this week, and to attend the commencement festivities, but has now postponed her visit until Thursday.

KICKED BY HORSE Three-year-old Son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Butler Seriously Injured. SKULL IS FRACTURED

Was Found Unconscious in Yard With Gash in Head —No one Saw Accident. The three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Butler, living about two miles north of Preble, was very seriously injured just after noon today, when h e was kicked over the right eye by a horse. The child was playing in the yard where the horse was on pasture and in some way got in the way of thp animal’s hoof. No one saw the Occident and the first known was when some one found the child lying unconscious in the yard with an ugly gash i> the forehead. Drs. D. D. and C. 8. Clark were summoned and an examination revealed the fact that the child’s skull had been fractured, a good-sized piece being removed, exposing the brain. Everything possible to relieve the little fellow's suffering was done, but it will be a day or two before the exact extent of the injuries I can be told. Mr. and Mrs. Butler formerly lived In this city, Mrs. Butler being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Winters. —* —a «-».

Miss Marie Bultemeier gave the invitation to have supper and spend the evening a tthe grand old home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bultemeier, seven miles north of Decatur. The supper was a success, being well prepared, well served and well disposed of. The n came an evening when all were young together. They played “drop the •handkerchief,” “What will you do when the black man comes?” and other games so well suited to a large grass-carpeted lawn, such as they found there. Other friends and neighbors of the Bultemeier family were present, the company numbering about thirty. Later music, both vocal and instrumental, were much enjoyed, after which came the walk down the picturesque country road to the interurban, ending in a little run and scurry to catch the car. All voted the occasion one of great pleasure. It is an ideal home and family, and one may well be proud to be counted a friend and guest of such good folks. A number of Decatur people who attended the St. John's picnic Sunday afternoon in the Wischmeyer grove were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bultemeier at their beautiful country home nearby, at supper in the evening. The spread was a sumptuo/s one, and the menu consisted of the delicious plenteousness that only a rich, country larder can produce. Guests were Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Walters and children, Kenyon, Helen and Dorothv; the Misses Sue and Naomi Mayer, and Rose Smith and Mr. Cecil Cole of this city. A number of neighbors and Miss Minnie Schroeder of Fort Wayne were also guests.
