Rah, rah, rah! Honeywell.! 1 •»* « » , These words proclaimed their mis- i sicn; banners told it further; but these < would have been unnecessary, as the < buoyant steps, the bright, happy faces : of the 201 women who entered the ; tabernacle lost evening in a body, lead i by the city band, proclaimed them 1 members of that great, busy, useful 1 satisfied factor of Decatur's life —its I business women. This night they < were special guests of the Honeywell ’ evangelistic party. < There were big girls, little girls; fat ! girls, lean girls; tall gi.’ls, short girls < —every kind of a girl hut an ugly girl. ‘ They inarched from the banquet hall ' in tlie M. E. church. At the banquet I hall Mrs. McCombe said they were a i good-looking crowd—much better ; looking as a class than the business s ; mtn of the city. There was much cheering, and as no men were present, no one said her nay. Therefore, it 1 goes unchallenged that there was not I an ugly girl present. There were of- i I flee girls, teachers, ‘ bachelor girls,” 1 sales girls, miii.'ners, dfess-makirs, i nurses, maids, waitresses manufactur- 1 ers, reporters -in fact girls from all 1 departments of the city’s business , life —those “who work for a living and < get \>aid for it —for you know there is j a difference,” some one of tho evan- I gelistic party said. “There are scores i of women in the home who work for < their living who do not get paid for it.” i There Were Exceptions. Before tlie Icng file of girls, led by Mrs. McCombe and Mrs. S. D. Beav- , ers, chairman of this department, i reached the tabernacle, however. < there was sure-enough evidence that < there are always exceptions. They met • one class of business men who were I just as good looking. Lined up in front 1 of the Murray House were forty- 1 three horsemen —local as well as for- i eign—who were ready for the horse ] sale today. This was the first local , individual business delegation. They , were led by’ Dan Beery, and every one ; of their whole-souled, fat, good-natur-ed, merry faces beamed the “good locks” that come only from a big, full 1 eart. They fell into line behind the 1 u-.iness women. Noah Weber bore the banner, “We are the Horse Men.’ , Entering the tabernacle, which was , already full, and in the midst of the ; seng service led by the big choir and Professor and Mrs. Clase, the delega- . tions of honor were heartily cheered. The business women took their places in the center while the horsemen had seats at the north side. The banners carried by the women bore inscriptions as follows: “Bachelor Girls for Christian Hames;’’ “Our Business Women;” "Bachelor-Salesia-1 dies for Christ;” “Office Girls for Christ;” “Business Women Stand for Clean Living." “Now,” said Professor Clase, musical director, after the noise from the I yells which were given under tlie leadership of Ruth Hammell had subsided, “What special song would you like us to sing?” “Work for the Night is Coming,” was the response from tlie business women. And it was sung. “Sale On. “Now,” said he to the horsemen, “What would you like?” The number was given and it proved to be a song t that has been a favorite during the revival, and one most appropriate as . tlije great horse SALE is ON toI day. It was the sond “Sail On!” Rev. Grimes of the Decatur Methodist circuit, gave the invocation. Inspiring Song Service. The song service was inspiring as usual. ‘Help Somebody Today” was sung by Professor Clase, then by the audience, then by the women, witn men’s whistling chorus. "Master, the]

Announcements. Among the special announcements made by Rev. McCombe was the' men’s sermon, “Paying the Fiddler,” next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. At the same hour, Mrs. McCombe will give an address to women at the Presbyterian church. Her subject will be “Women’s Greatest Memorial” Next Sunday morning’s service hour has been changed to an ear-1 Her one —10:15. This will follow the Sunday schools in the individual churches. This morning at 10 o'clock were given the last prayer meetings of the week. The afternoon services at 2:15 are proving very helpful. Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock will be the “special train services" —the Honey ( well Limited —for the boys and girls. Some of them are engines and each is trying to get a train of boys and girls. Some engines already have seventy-five or eighty cars. Asbestos Suits. Before Evangelist Honeywell launched into his sermon last evening he spoke of the appreciation of the presence of the business women; also his friends, the horsemen. His special message had been intended for the business women, as it was not until late that he learned that the horse-1 men were to attend in a body. However. he said he trusted that he might I give something helpful tc them also: ■ but that if they would wait and come. 1 to the men's fleeting next Sunday afternoon and wear “asbestos suits” he would have a special sermon for ail men. Power of Woman. He paid a great tribute to the power of woman in the world. “They are tho conscience of the world." he, said. There is nothing worth seeing. | or hearing, or noteworthy that has not a woman in it. He named many not a-, ble women, or those used as types in : literature, who prove a power: Deborah; Portia, the judge; Queen Victoria, Frances Willard. "Woman was last at tlie cross, first at the sepulchre. We would have to close our churches, if it were not for the women," he said. A Worse Lot. From generalizing, he specialized ind told of the great factor in the! world and its work that the business women are proving to be. Then lie continued: “I take it," he said in effect, “that the greater number o’you here in a body tonight are single. ’ There’s lots worse things than being single. You carry your own purses. You do not have to nag your husband i for every quarter you get, and have to give an account to him for the quatter he gave you at Christmas time. Tells Story on Self. Turning to the horsemen he said: “There is no class of bigger hearted men than the horsemen. If I would go broke tomorrow, I don’t know’ of (Continued on Page 4J TABERNACLE PROGRAM.

IAT HIGH_SCHOOL Members of Honeywell Party Again Delight Stu- - dents at Chapel. MR. M’COMBE TALKS Advises Young People to Watch Words and Actions—Song Service. , Members of tlie Honeywell parly made their second appearance in the High School, tills morning, assisting Mr. Hilderbrand in conducting the I Chapel exercises. Rain and icy walks made things look bad outside, but you never find the thrifty party lying down on tlie job and surely all tho sunshine was on tlie inside shining out this morning. Tlie young people have by some means learned how to get tlie party to sing, and after Mr. Clase had sung two solos, “Macushla" end “I Hear You Calling Me” and with Mrs. Clase a duet, they insisted on mere. In presenting Mr. McComb Mr. Hilderbrand expressed a desire for once in his life to hear a real Irishman, and if Mr. McCombe didn't meet his desire this morning he surely will never have the pleasure of hearing one. Mr. McCombe’s speech was brief but full of good meaning, and each word whether it was taken seriously or humorously was right to tlie point. Using the word Watch as a leader lie illustrated how it is necessary for anyone to watch their words, their actions, their temper and thoughts, their character, their habits and above all their hearts which represent the main spring in one’s life watch. Before the exercises closed Mr. and Mrs. Clase were kind enough to sing a duet. /‘The Mercy He Will Ever Show” responding with “Sweeter As The Days Go By.” MANY AT BANQUET Two Hundred One Business Women Guests of Ladies of the Churches AT M.

Tlie first of the series of socials tor the business women of the city, l ■ a movement connected with the Hon- j eywell revival, was the banquet given last evening from 6:15 to 7:15 by the , ladies of all the churches, in the Me- ] thodist church parlors. Soon after ] the last whistle for six o’clock clos- , J ing time for business had been sound-11 ' ed, the last one of two hundred one I I business women entered the churcn , 1 ’ where all were cordially greeted by \ 1 a receiving line including the wives 1 lot the ministers of the city—Mesdam-1 les D. T. Stephenson, Floyd Rogers, J. I H. Rilling, Benj. Borton, F. H. liar- 1 mon, L. C. Hessert. During the as- 1 sembly, Miss Vera Hower, pipe or- 1 ganist, played. | The scene was then transferred ] to the banquet room—into which the' Sunday school room had been temporarily changed. The wicker seats I had been aranged in rows of ten each I double file, facing each. In the small-1 Jer rooms, tables for groups had been j aranged to accommodate the remaining number. At one side, on tables vases of exquisite pink roses perfum'ed the air and added beauty to the ■ scene. At a table at the side, coni- ( I tnanding a view of the entire assemI bly, Mrs. S. D. Beavers, chairman of I the entertainment committee; Mrs. 'J. W. McComb and Mrs. H. C. Clase ( of tlie evangelistic party were seated. | “We will sing our blesing” said Mrs.' McComb. And all sang” Praise God j from Whom All Blessings Flow.” As the time was limited, it was suggested that it would be necessary to do two things at once — eat and listen.

SAVE STATUTES ■ Governor Ralston Notifies Legislators That Books Must Not be Removed. ■ ■ 4 STATE TO CELEBRATE Hoosiers, to Observe One Hundredth Anniversary —Lawmakers Finishing. (By Lew Ellingham) Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. s—Economy is still working. Not only is economy working at the old stand but Governor Ralston intends to use every precaution to stop a practice that borders on theft. For every legislature there is provided quite a number of sets of Burns Revised Statutes, and for the use of the members of tho present general assembly there were I purchased for the house five sets and seven sets for the senate. The purchase of these statutes is one of the regular bi-ennial duties of those officers who prepare the house and sen■ate chambers for the degislative sesI sions. The reason that it is necessary to purchase the statutes every two years, is because some of the en terprislng members or employes always conclude that anything loose around the legislative chambers belongs to the person who has the inclination to nail it down and appropriate it to his own use. Governor Ralston has sent to the president of the senate and to the speaker of the house a message in which he has decried this practice as one that is offensive to the dignity of the state of Indiana. It is not only offensive, but it is expensive as well. Every one cf these sets of Indiana statutes costs the state of Indiana just twenty-two dollar and a half, so should the ones in use now disappear In the usual way, it would mean a loss to the state of just twelve times twenty-two fifty. That is a nice little Christmas present and is one of the many holes that is found in the transaction of public business. The governor recommends that each legislative house see to it that the secretary of the senate and the clerk of the house turn over these twelve sets of Burns' Revised Statutes to the state librarian who shall act as custodian. One of the duties of this latter officer will be to preserve and produce for the use of the seventieth general assembly twelve sets of Burns’ Revised Statutes. Should tho governor succeed in reali.iing upon this recommendation he will have accomplished what was never attempted before. It is a contemptible practice and one that long ago should have been put out of business had any governor stiffened his back-bone to the point of saying to the face of the legislative members what every one thought behind their backs. Governor Ralston has proclaimed what both his private and public opinion is of sucli petty grafting, and it is a ten to one shot that Mr. Burns and his revised statutes will be saved for the use of the state for a good many years to come. Another administration measure Is about ready for the governor’s signature. In his message to the general assembly Governor Ralston recommended an appropriation of twenty thousand dollars to be placed with a non-political, non-salaried commission of nine members, the money to be used to fittingly celebrate the onehundredth anniversary of the admission of Indiana into the union. Such a celebration is worthy of tlie best consideration of the best people on earth, and that means the citizenship of the good old Hosier state. Indiana is one of the most important states in the union, and its importance is not confined to any one class of our people or to any one industry, trade or profession. We are a diversified people and there is nothing we can not Jdo and do it a little bit better than the next fellow. There is every reaj son for a fitting celebration of one hundred years of progress and pros- ' perity, so get ready to cut your belt 'and show the world how great is the greatness of the commonwealth of ' Indiana. There will be a busy season ahead for this commission. While economy has played an important role during this legislative session, yet there has been no dispoj sition of stinginess when it comes to protecting the state against those I (Continued on Page 3.)
