Entered at the postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The admiration of the world is bestowed upon the brave and fearless aviator, Hary Hawker, and his mechanician, McKensie G reives, who gambled their lives against great odds, in an attempt to be the first to fly across the Atlantic ocean and who seem to have lost. The attempt seemed almost hopeless but one remembers the stories in history of the apparent impossibility of the attempt of Columbus centuries ago to sail around the world or to find another, land. His efforts produced a new continent and he became one of the greatest figures of all times. Hawk-1 er’s attempt required the kind of nerve that Columbus had and even though he failed the admiration of I the world is none the less sincere, j Well cheer up, if the weather man lets you. Os course it's a tough spring . and the crops have to be put in be- , tween showers but even then the , good farmer is going to come through , with his usual big harvest. Just do the best you can and every thing will be alright when Old Home Week arrives. By the way what are we going to do about it? The Chamber of Commerce is now < being built. It needs your co-opera-tion and your membership. It will ' be just as good as we make it, no better or no worse. There are many ,

p things to be done, that will help you t tn many ways. Two hundred men banded together for a single purpose, that of helping the community can make great progress. The committee 1 will call upon you in a few days. Make their work as easy as possible. Every live town has a busy commercial organization. Decatur must have one if we are going to step out and I take the place that is rightfully ours. I J — i Twenty-seven governments in all 1 parts of the world have ratified the ' league of nations bv accepting the , treaty of peace with Germany. Thiri ty-nine senators opposed the covenant of the league and threatened obstruction. Arse these senators persuaded that they still represent humanity's wishes, hopes and aspirations? Senator Lodge’s advice to some of his fellow “robins” not to discuss the latest draft of the league of nations covenant was wholly superfluous in the case of several of them. They had long since resolved to chirrup no more on that subject. A canal line between St. Marys and Fort Wayne, running through Decatur would add to the system, help the communities through which it would run, change the whole manner of as- • , fairs and is ■worth going after. Just I keep that in mind. It is going to be exceedingly diffirult for most of the thoughtful "thir-ty-nine” to make their final vote on ‘ the league of nations square with | their declarations in the “round tobin.” The Republican majority in congress will now have an opportunity to spend six months enacting bills which they killed in their filibuster in three days. UNCLE HEZEkTaH OBSERVES Ther' ain't no bigger devils in th’ wurld than “She said” an' “He said.” I —o ■ BUY HAEFLING PROPERTY Mr. and Mrs. Al Burdg and son, Charles Burdg, have purchased the Mrs. Bridget Haefling residence, formerly the Fitzgerald property, corner of Third and Adams streets. They , will remodel it in the near future and expect to make that place their home. :

DECATUR DAILY, DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1919

PRAYER MEETING The study of the parables of our Lord will be continued at the Midweek meeting at the Presbyterian church this evening. The parable of the Tares. Matt. 13: 24-30, 36-43, will be discussed by Mrs. Beavers; the Drag-net. Matt. 13: 47-50, by Miss Moses; the Treasure and Pearl, Matt. 13: 44-46, by Herbert Dauer. The pastor will follow with a short address on the topic. A splendid and helpful meeting, with good attendance and fine spirit, was held last week. It has been said that the prayer meeting is both the heating plant and the thermometer of the church; certain it is that the praying church is the church of power. We warmly and urgently invite you to join us this evening. This service will also be in preparation for the communion service to be held next Sunday morning. OLD NEIGHBORS PALL BEARERS The body of Philip Fuhrman, accompanied by the children, arrived last evening over the Clover Leaf from Saginaw, Mich., and was taken to the Gay. Zwick & Myers undertaking parlors until this afternoon when the funeral was held at the Methodist church. The Rev. C. J. Miner was in charge in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. Tinkham. Pall bearers were old neighbors of Mr. Fuhrman, being C. S. Mumma, Ross Harden, Marion Stults, Curtis Miller, Charles Rabbitt and Jay Cline.

ABOUT THE SICK Miss Emma Doehrman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Doehrman, of Preble township, was operated upon Tuesday at 11 o'clock at the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne for appendicitis. Miss Doehrman, who is employed in Fort 'Wayne, was taken suddenly ill while up town, and was taken to the office of Dr. Rothchild. and the operation was immediately decided upon. She recovered nicely from the effects of the anaesthetic and is getting along as well as could be expected, considering the seriousness of her case. Mrs. Joseph Spangler, of east of the city, who was taken to the St. Joseph hospital two weeks ago was operated upon this morning for a complication of- ailments, gall stones and possibly appendicitis. She was taken to the hospital two -weeks ago but was too weak at that time to have tho operation. Dr. Rosenthal was assisted by Dr. H. E. Keller of this city. Mrs. Spangler's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Uleman, of Bryant, accompanied Dr. Keller to the hospital this morning.

How many go forth in the morning That never come home at night, And hearts have broken For harsh words spoken That sorrow can never set right. —Margaret Sangster.

The girls of the 7th grade of St. Joseph’s school entertained for Miss Catherine Omler at a surprise party in her honor, who leaves for Hammond, Ind., soon, with her parents to make her home. She will be much missed by her many friends here. A luncheon was served. Those present were Catherine Omlor, Anna Dowling. Winnifred Clark, Marie Foos, Helena Meyer, Marcella Lengerich, Agnes Heiman, Anna Baker, and Cecelia Malley. One of the last parties to be enjoyed by the high school graduates as a body was the class party given at the home of Ralph Tyndall last evening The high school faculty were also guests and mingling with the festive atmosphere was a spirit of regret and sorrow that “edd school days” in Decatur were drawing to a close. A musical program consisted of a group of vocal numbers by Mrs. Dan Tyndall; piano selections by Mrs. Carrie Haubold and mandolin numbers by Dick Archbold. An interesting series of guessing contests followed. In a magazine guessing contest, George Schug won the honors and in a menagerie or animal guessing contest, in which animals were represented by various objects, Miss Reihbach, won the prize. Both prizes were books. Companions for the luncheon were found by matching cards. The refreshments were appetizing and were served in two courses, consisting of sandwiches, veal loaf, fruit salad, ice ' cream, cake and coffee. The class | colors of green and white were carried out prettily in the decorations and in the luncheon. The Bachelor Maids regular “five hundred’ party and luncheon was enjoyed at the home of Miss Mayme Deininger last evening, prize awards going to Mrs. Dick Boch and Miss Adelaide Dfiiningter. A two-course ulncheon followed the cards. Mrs. Jamc4 Brown will have the next club meeting. The Berne Witness saysrof the marriage of Miss Lillian Mertz who formerly made her home with the James P. Haefling family both here and after moving to Fort Wayne: “Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock. Miss Lillian Mertz and Jacob F. Moser were quietly married by Rev. Sol Klopfenstine at the pastor’s home. Miss Cora Mertz, a sister of the bride, .and her father, Andrew Mertz, attended the couple. The bride, who is a daughter of Andrew Mertz of French township, has been doing housework for Mr. Moser for some time since his first w'ife died. The groom is a son of Mrs. Peter F. Moser and lives on a farm in Hartford township. A former marriage was dissolved by death about a year ago. The couple will go to house keeping on Mr. Moser’s farm immediately. and they have the well wishes of their many friends and the Witness.” Dr. Elizabeth Burns has a letter from her daughter, Mabel Burns Sargent, that she and her husband, Warren Sargent, of Camp Humphreys, Va. have been granted a week-end furlough which they will spend in New York City.
