Send it to your I friends and tell them the town is even 1 better than we claim it is. It pays to boost. It’s old fashioned to have a knocker either outside or inside of your bpuse. There seems to be a good chantfor a three-cornered fight for the municipal offices. The republicans gat 11- j cred somewhere some time Saturday) ii'ght and decided to place a ticket in the field and a meeting will be heldi Wednesday evening of this week, we. are informed, for the purpose of fix I ing a date for the convention. This morning, Al Graham, district, county, township and city chairman of the bull moosers, t ame along with a call for the progressiva for the same pur-' pose the same evening. Wow, therej may be something doing! State representatives of the Y. M. C. A. were here today, keeping an eye on conditions generally, with hopes of establishing a branch here, in the not very distant future. No one who, has watched the growth of this splendid organizaion. but would welcome such a place among the instituticns of Decatur and it is hoped that development w’ill come soon. Just now a great work is being done in the small-

er towub and in Hie country wnere tranche* are organized without building and equipment, thus pref aring the way for better things. • ndiana is today paying her respects to one of her greatest and most sinCf'dy loved mon, Janies* Wbiteom! Riley. Other men have won fame !n battle, aa statesmen, as leaders, as financiers, aa doers of great things, but no citizen of the Hoosier ntate has brought more pleasure to the youth and grandsires of this and other nooks of the nation, than our greatest poet. The celebration tendered him today at his home on Ixtckerbie street in Indianapolis was a wonderful one, that will no doubt be cherished fondly by the great man.

No ease quarantinea will be released and admitted to ’ the school room until cultures made I from the nos;> and throat of the jmI tients are found to be free from the J diphtheria germs by the state board II of health, and it is the duty of every ! practicing physician to practice strict ’ i conformity to the laws of the state.
