Put on your best appear1 t •an up the yard, decorate the house, get out your broadest I an.: i and your warmest handshake. Lei give the guests the best wel- i come we have, so they will have to j say we are all right. I _ rhe crops will begin to move this ' week, and such a crop. It's equal has never been known. It will take a large amount of money and the usual tightening up for a few weeks, but we are all sure to be prosperous in the fall. The wheat, hay, corn and beets' are especially gne at this period. Decatur needs a hospital. This fact is apparent every day. It’s a shame and a disgrace tluft a man has hung about the streets for three days with fever 104 and no place to go, until he is finally carted off to the county infirmary. What would you think it your boy was a thousand miles from home and this happened to him? Would you call it a good community? We know of a half-dozen cases this summer where people have come here, knowing no one, become sick or were injured and had to be taken to the jail or county infirmary. Thing of it! Rev. Stephenson took tor his text at his Sunday evening service an editorial from this paper concerning the building of a boy’s gymnasium, or a \. M. C. A., and he told his congregation, as we have told you for a year, that the way to save the men is to start with the boys providing them a clean place for clean amusements. Rev. Stephenson suggested that the

| matter be placed in the hands of tin school board and that the school yards be turned into play grounds for the children. His advice was good and should be heeded. It’s a big problem and one than can be preached upon, talked about and boosted for all it’s worth. Then let's do it. DOINGS IN SOCIETY WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. W. C. T. U— Mrs. D. G. M.

A PITIFUL CASE Was That of Young Foreigner Who Arrived in City Last Friday. WAS TAKEN SICK Unable to Talk the Englisi* Language or Make Himself Understood. One of the most pitiful cases eve seen in the city was that of a young foreigner, supposedly a Greek, win nrr'vod fn the city Friday afternoon Several different stories are told as ' his mode of arriving here, the mopopular one being that an automohib party picked him up and brought him into the city. Upon his arrival Met shal Peterson took him in charge and went to the Erie railroad, where r number of men from different nation alties were working, in the hopes thn‘ he could find some one among them who could talk the young fellow's lan gunge. This, however proved to b' a failure. He then took him to John Joseph, who endeavored to make him understand but could not. Having no other resource to fall back upon, the man was placed on the Interurban ear and sent to Fort Wayne in the hope that some one of the Greeks there could converse with him.. In this respect he seemed to be successful for he reappeared in Decatur yesterday with a letter in his pocket, explaining that he had a brother in Eli gin, Ohio. He slept Sunday night in ’ the court house yard and this morning I Trustee Butler had him removed to ' thg county farm, where he will be tak- ! en care of tor a few days until be ■ shows signs of improvement. The ycung fellow was completely down and out when he arrived In the city Friday, having a fever of 104 degrees, which added to the misfortune of being unable to make himself understood, made his case very hard to handle. . i /■

Ini he Churches (CONTI NV ED FROM PAGE ONE) [ slon. Are we going to prove our- J selves equal to the time on which our j I lot has fallen in the community and j [ church life?" Methodist Church. At the Methodist church Sunday the |< Sunday school had entire charge of I, the morning services. An excellent ■ i program was rendered by the children L , who had been prepared by Mrs. R. D ■ Myers Miss Nellie Blackburn and Miss Doris DeVoss. There was a ’ large and appreciative audience. The i church was beautifully decorated with , lowers and an offering amounting to, nearly S2O was taken for the Children’s Educational fund of the Methodist church In the evening the pas tor took for his theme, " T ositive Christianity." It had been suggested to him by a recent editorial in the Daily Democrat. He dwelt upon the fact that it is better to interest ourelves in wholesome and helpful > things as a preventative from wrongdoing than merely to be saying to ourselves all the time that we must not do this or that. Moses’ law was: largely a law of negation, that Christ while not denying the negative commandment, emphasized the act of doing right rather than merely not doing wrong. Rev. Stephenson made a local application of his subject by calling attention to our lack of facilities for the training of our youth in their' amusements and play. It is not. enough to say to our young men that they should avoid the saloons andl pool rooms, but that some provision should be made to give them more i wholesome entertainment. He suggested that cur school yards should , be turned into public play grounds; | that a gymnasium should be built by ; our board of education, a pool room i and bowling alley provided and a di-1 rector should be employed to directl the play and amusements of our j young the same as we employ teach-: ers of mathematics, music, etc.; that the play and amusements of our boys and girls were as important factor:; I in the development of their lives as, were the studies in the school rooms. , Mr. James Battenberg, a visitor in the | city, rendered very efficient help at all of the services by his excellent I singing.

United Brethren Church. At the If. B. church the Sabbath services began with an excellent Sabbath school. All officers and teachers were present. Following the Sabbath school an hour of worship was enjoyed with the order of the Maccabees 1 present. Two verses were read from: the First book of Maccabees as fol- ! iows: “Yet will I and my sons and, my brethren walk in the covenant of I out fathers. God forbid that we should forsake the law and ordinances.’’ The text was, “For me to live is Christ.” I The pastor spoke briefly of the influence of those who have fallen, living on. Memorial day calls our minds to review the past. We should study! the true uses of the past. The past, is rightly used when it deepens our | sense of personal guilt; when it illustrates the greatness of divine love and mercy; when it inspires us with hope and courage for the future. The : personal stand of Matathiasfor princi-| les of righteousness, the influence of I homo rule, the influencce he would exert for good over his brethren are alll hown by his words yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the "ovenant of our fathers. But this he

ould not nope to accomplieh in his own strength for he said, “God forfd that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.” The wisdom of •nen realizing the limitations of their own strength, the forming and keening of resolutions making for rightcusness was insisted upon. The example of Matathias in refusing to listen to the commands of an unrig l i. ious king but saying, "We will not go from our religion, either to the right hand or to the left," whs accepted as a safe rule for all. May the God of peace so take possession of all that the words of Paul may be true in each life. ’For mo to live Is Christ.’ Christ accepted, Christ believed, Christ honored and followed in love. ’ o THE GUY PLAYERS TONIGHT.
