Any body ought to be glad t > give towards this fund to make the children happier. About every other day we have a crisis it seems and just now it is the Mexican situation, but we have avoided so many apparent breaks that we are getting used to them and it is to be hoped that this trouble will be ironed out and the affair settled without bloodshed. The Clover Leaf is to spend a million dollars on repairs and it is sincerely hoped that this expenditure includes that depot for which Decatur has so long waited. Os course we would also appreciate the location of the division here but if we can't get that we will be thankful for the new station house. The American Bankers’ Association according to its executive committee now in session, is organizing a thrift campaign for the purpose of teaching the American people to save $8,000.000,000 that they waste annually. Presumably this effort is to be directed toward the prevention of wasteful spending and the encouragement cf saving of pennies, dimes and dollars, millions of which go in small and needless expenditures. It is a movement in the right direction, for Americans, as a class, are careless spenders and take little account of their small change. In larger matters, too, they lack thrift and this lack ig shown throughout their entire social fabric and extends to public affairs. Such a thing as real public economy, the close and careful management the efficient man gives to his private business is practically unknown in this country.--Indianapolis Star. George Krick went to Indianapolis to attend the clay makers’ convention.

But as it happened to be her .birthday anniversary great was her surprise, when about two tiours later she was again called upon to act as hostess to the same company. with about thirty-five added guests. After recovering from her surprise she proceeded to make her guests feel at home. The evening was pleasantly spent in conversation, music by Miss Lillian, and John and Simon Lehrman. also with the vietrola.
