Well you have to give this community something harder than raising a company fund of fifteen hundred for a bunch of boys like those who left today. if you want to make us take the count. The new high school building is go- I ing right along and it’s too bad that I the gymnasium and auditorium isn’t ’ going along with it, but say, it’s not t too late even now. Let’s wake up and < build it right while we are at it. < Let's get down to business and go I after a factory. There is one actually | just waiting for the invitation. Shall J we bring it to Decatur or shall we ’ just sit and wait for some thing to hanpen? This is the best town in the state but let's make it better. Well the boys have gone. Let’s set- ; tie down to business now and so conduct affairs at home that we will prove ] we are just as good soldiers though fighting in a different position, as 1 those who have left for more exciting scenes. We owe it to thise boys who j will return some of these days to check us up. We must make good. Let’s be patriotic and faithful to our government, to our community and let’s progress in all things. And after all why borrow trouble. The boys of company A are perhaps a year away from the trenches and may never see them. It will require a year of training to fit them • .for service. The next six or eight months will be spent in this country, and the boys will be given the very best care and attention, physically and morally. Even after being sent abroad it will be several months before they see active duty as is shown from the fact that General Pershings men have not yet gone to the trenches, though they have been in France many weeks. The nation is not sending untrained or unprepared men to the front as did England. In the meantime the war may end at any time and there are many who predict that another winter will bring every COPVIWgHT »»»« » flubarl*. fctrrn & -rx--/Safflhk AA Wl/o - I m S ■ y Sarar ?

’nation to lhat place where they will be ready and anxious to make terms. Just the same our boys go forth as brave as any who ever fought for the flag and we are all so proud of them. Here’s hoping that every one comes back in better health than they left today. We promise you a real reception when you do. And the wonder of it all was that the soldier lads and the crowd displayed real nerve, the kind that inalets phis the greatest nation in the world. •Os course there were tears as there should be on such an occasion, but they were held rtack bravely and only an occasional sob was heard until the train had moved slowly out, then many let go of their pent-up feelings. Taken all in all 1- er, it was a splendid American scene. Business stopped and thousands w nt to the train, the good-bye words were said with feeling but with good cheer, the band played lively music. Our beys go to represent Adams county in the worlds greatest war. God bless them and keep them is our prayer and that of hundreds, yes thousands from this community. a 10t:0c:ur,u....; a::3EscS ■ j § DOINGS IN SOCIETY | » isc:::: an orscor uc:::: w*. • WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

The county commissioners this morning fixed the turnpike repair tax. ' setting the levy at 23.9 per cent on the hundred dollars. This levy figured on the total county valuation of $1,745,060. will net approximately $41,706.33, which will be used by the high- . way superintendent in the repair and upkeep of the 544 miles of macadam I roads in the county. This total seems like a large one but when it is figured down to the mile the average cost of i repair per mile will only be about seventy-six dollars. Dr. S. P. Hoffman was reappointed I physician for the county infirmary ' and county jail for one year at a salary of $250.00.

The county commissioners will meet in continued session on the 15th as I September for the purpose of award--1 ing the contracts for the building of three bridges. They adjourned after finishing up the business this morning. o MAY GO TO CUBA. Word has been received from Corporal Joe Johns, who is stationed with Company L, at Fort Benjamin Harrison, that he is expecting to be ordered to Cuba within the next two weeks. He says although no definite orders have been given out, the men have been furnished with mosquito netting and other equipment that would be used on that island. Joe was one cf the Decatur boys that enlisted at Ft. Wayne and was sent to Fort Thomas, Ky„ but was later transferred to Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis, in the infantry. o RUMOR WAS FALSE The rumor that Fred Sheets, son cf Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sheets, of Eighth street, had committed suicide at Fort Benjamin Harrison, seems to be false, as late this afternoon, his mother had received no word of it. Fred is one of the ten boys of Company A who were sent to the “Rainbow division” a short time ago. He is said to be quite homesick, however, and in writing has seemed inclined to suicide. The origin of the rumor of his death, probably originated in that way. THE AMISH WILL REFUSE Rev. Jacob Schwartz, of the Amish church, called, on the military board today and told them thit the two Amish men, Schwartz and Mezelin, drafted for the national army, will refuse to go and will take the consequences, whatever they are. Their places will be filled and the matter reported to the authorities. MOOSE DANCE THURSDAY Beginning Thursday, Sept. 6th, the regular Moose dance and dancing class will open at the Moose hall. Fred Scfaurger will be in charge, and will give lessons to the class at seventhirty. Dance will begin at eight o’clock. Every body invited and the usual good time assured. Come and enjoy the evening. 2t .—————o BEULAH CHAPEL PICNIC.

WAS ADJOURNED (Continued from Page One) commented upon the way the tMffifr ere took hold of the music work and hoped that they would keep up the Binging of patriotic songs as the year’s work went on. Professor Barr tok up his period in discussing his subject of “Spelling and Eliminations.” He pointed out many errors in spelling, giving reports from various tests which had been used throughout the country. Mr. Barr brought out the point that a few words well taught and drilled upon in after work was far better than to teach many words and then push on to still new words. Many teachers make the mistake of giving pupils words which they do not use in their every day work and withwhich they do not become familiar and consequently they get only a partial notion of how to spell them. “We had better go a little slower, learn a few words well, and spend more time in going over these words as a review. In closing his discussion he gave a list of fifty words taken from a list of 100.000. which were in making a test and showing the number of times each word was used in the 100,000. If this be true we may see at a plance that the words which are most frequently used are very simple. The list is as , follows: Jhe. 6393 times; and. 3438; of. 3422; to, 3217; I, 2387; a. 1911; in. 1904; that, 1422; you, 1306; tor, 1241; ’ it, 1197; was. 991; is. 931; will, 873; . as, 854; have, 846; have, 831; with, . 822; be. 186; your, 793; at. 698; we, 695; on, 667; he. 619; by, 611; but, 573; my, 557; this. 551; his, 543; . which. 540; dear, 523; from. 488; are. 468; all, 448; me. 444; so. 432; one, 428; if, 408; they. 400; had. 397; has, 391; very, 383; were, 368; been, 370; would. 362; she. 359; or. 348; there, 341; her, 311. Total, 49,615. Mrs. Adams took her period in describing to the teachers how she was taught in her early years. She told , of numbers of cases in which she was taught songs which meant nothing to her and which she has failed so far to be able to class and give any definite place in the work in music. She , warned the teachers to be very careful in teaching songs to the children ’ that they should choose songs which were patriotic in natnre, or songs which had some meaning and significance in the woik of the school. Omit the things which are not in harmony with your period and take ■ only the music which will serve to 1 awaken an interest in the child or will serve as a recreational. Put (he life, the rhythm and the swing into the work so that the boys and girls wil go on in life and have these ; things by which they may recall the . school days of the primary work and : be able to live as oung and active , men and women. Professor Smyser took up his per- . iod in discussing his subject on influence in literature of oui own time. Mr. Smyser turned aside from the [ regular outlined lecture and took up this subject so as to get what he considered a very helpful start in his series of discussions in this subject.
