Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. A number of Decatur men are planning to attend the democratic love feast to be held at Indianapolis next Wednesday when Secretary Redfield will deliver an address to the business men of Indiana. The work of collecting the funds lor a “Gym” for the boys and girls o' Decattir is going on and a complete accounting will be made as soon as possible. The committee has not been aide to decide upon a suitable temporary location, but they are still on the hunt and will do the very best thing possible. If you have any suggestions you are invited and urged to produce them. Decatur needs more houses. It is next to impossible right now to find a residence and what will be done if the Clover Leaf division comes here as now seems probable, is a puzzle that will have to work itself out. A number of new houses are now under construction and more are being planned, but it is a safe bet that before the summer arrives we will need a large number of dwellings. It's a good investment. Better build one on that booster lot of yours. President Wilson rightly refuses to to discouraged over political prospects. Recent municipal elections in ll'inois and other states do not disturb the president's confidence that the people will endorse the democratic national administration in the presidential election next year. He believes there will be two principal factors in the judgment of his administration by the voters, and that in both cases it will be favorable. These two factors ace: The guidance of the affairs of the nation through the maze of pitfalls produced by the European war. The enactment of legislation which the president believes has liberated business from monopolistic control. The pres id ent realizes that for several months the republicans have been trying to make political capital of the business depression for which they urged the people to blame the democrats. But times are on the mend, in the opinion of the president, and within a few months the republicans, he thinks, will be bereft of this issue. Even repu'blicans*feel the same wav about the matter, a prominent Rochester g. o. p. ad herent admitting as much during the past few days. It is a year and a half until the next election, and there is absolutely no reason why democrats should worry.—Rochester Democrat.

Many who heard this band of young players for the first time, were surprised to learn the high slate of excellence which they have attained in the short time in which they have been banded together.

IS WORLD’S GREATEST CHOIR Cathedral of Alexander Nevoskl, in Petrograd, Said to Hava Finest Body of Singers. In many departments Russia has proved herself the greatest of all countries. Her dancers -are the world's finest, her novelists are certainly among the world's greatest novelists, her Cossacks —ask the Austrians! are the world's fiercest fighters. She also possesses the world s finest choir. This is in the cathedral of Alexander Nevoskl, in Petrograd, and is attached to a convent erected in honor of the patron saint of Russia. It consists of about thirty members, all monks, chosen from the best singers in all the Russian monasteries. Their voices are amazingly sweet and strong, and every member of the choir can, it is said, shatter an ordinary glass into fragments merely by singing into it, so powerful are the vibrations of each voice. These monks are trained as rigorously as any opera singer, and their whole duty at the monastery is to assist at the music at mass in the morning and vespers in the afternoon. When too old for service they are retired on pensions. Unlike most monks, they are exceedingly fastidious about their appearance, and every night put up their hair and whiskers in paper.— Montreal Herald. SLIGHT CHANGE IN WORDING Wherein Wife’s Letters to Husband Differed From Those That She Received From Him. y This little story was told by Congressman William H. Murray of Oklahoma the other evening, when the conversation turned to the letters that the old man writes to absent wifey in the good old summer time. Recently two women were busily knitting scarfs and things for the soldiers, when one of them casually referred to a summer visit she had made to the mountains. “That makes me think," was the smiling response of the other. “What kind of letters does your husband write you when you are away on your summer trips?” “He always writes very affectionately,” answered the first, pausing to see if she had dropped any stitches. “He invariably begins with ‘My precious treasure,’ and ends by sending me his love ’’ “Very beautiful,” was the smiling comment of the first. “I suppose you answer in the same loving vein?” “With a slight variation,” reflectively replied the first. “I start my letter with ‘My precious treasurer,’ and end by asking him to send me $lO.” —Philadelphia Telegraph. Potato Flour. Experiments carried out by a Danish medical man seem to show that potato flour, which is now largely used for breadmaking in Germany, has strong nutritious properties. In order to prove that albumen is not essential to the maintenance of the human system, Doctor Hindhede has since 1895 lived for months at a stretch on potatoes for his staple diet, flavored only occasionally with butter and milk. He further Induced his gardener, Frederick Madsen, to live on potatoes for 300 days at a stretch, his average consumption being nixio pounds a day. During the experimental period Madsen was so closely watched that his master can vouch that he tasted no other food, yet the diet left him stronger than be had ever been. But what a life! Beautiful Ypres. The old Belgian city dt Ypres, which has suffered much destruction at the hands of the Germans, was at one time one of the most flourishing cities in West Flanders, with a population of almost 200,000. Like other ancient cities of Belgium, it nas many architectural and artistio reminders of its past greatness in its Cloth hall, Guild halls, and churches, the burghers’ houses, many of which have now been laid in ruins by German guns. The Cloth hall, which was commenced in the year 1200, and took a century to build, has a beautiful facade 120 yards in length; while there are also the Meat hall, the Cathedral of St. Martin, and a number of fine old houses with the wooden facades Flemish architects were so fond of. Men’s Ankles. Another reform the war should bring about touches the ankles of men. Who would have thought Londoners to be ro good looking as are these recruits —all of them—as they go by? It is not the color, for khaki is not flattering; it is not the cap, though that is decidedly becoming; it is chiefly or entirely the putties. These restore to the figure of man its shape, its spring, its poise, its distinction. Why not take heart of grace and abolish the tube trousers for good and all?—London Chronicle. Tiflis. Tillis, which the czar has been visiting, and terming “a pearl of the Russian crown,” was described by Mr. James Bryce some forty years since as “a human melting pot, a city of contrasts and mixtures, into which elements have been poured from half Europe and Asia, and in which they as yet show no signs of combining.” The description holds good today, for there are said to be 70 languages spoken in the streets of the ancient city by representatives of as many nationalities. , , *
