Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The new Athletic hall will be au ideal place for the summer union church meetings, the Chautauqua and for various other events making it a necessity besides a great place for indoor sports during the winter months. It would certainly seem that at this time when enormous funds are being raised for about everything under the sun, this local improvement could be easily financed. Os course from all the various drives good results come. There is no argument as to that but in most cases you du not see the results. Hero is a chance to do something for every one in Decatur and see the good of your Investment It would be so easy if every one would help do it. The Liberty Sweepstakes auto races at the Indianapolis speedway provided all the thrills advertised and more. It was a most wonderful exhibition of nerve as well as ma-

chines and no one watched the daring drivers but wondered at their endurance and skill. The accidents which caused the death of several of these famous autoisls marred to a large extent what would otherwise have been the greatest sport event ever held in the world. For sixth place in the race DePalma pushed his twelve cylinder Packard across the tape at the finish just ten seconds ahead of Gaston Chevrolet in a Frontenac and there were ten cars finished within an hour. Among those who are being groomed for the democratic nomination for governor of Indiana, our old friend Dick Miller of Indianapolis is prominently mentioned. That he would make a splendid candidate and a great official every one who knows Di< k is certain and if he submits to the pressure now being made upon him he will land the place. He is a self made man, one of the best business men in the state, popular, honest i and worthy of the honor. - ' 1 The mid-summer meeting of the ' Democratic Editorial Association will ( be held in Fort Wayne, perhaps the f

third and Fourth of July. The headliners are Secretary Daniels of the navy and Governor Cox of Ohio, two of the greatest men of the nation. The event promises to be one that will attract wide attention and the public is invited to participate. The exact date and the program will be officially announced within a few days. Well other things are out of the way. Let’s complete the organization of that Chamber of Commerce befoie something else gets in the way. The waterway project is just one of the hundred things that need attention and without an organized body progress is impossible. The people of Adams county responded splendidly to the plea of the Salvation Army for $3,300 as our

share of the thirteen million dollars they are raising to help humanity. The money thus given comes back many fold. The corn crop is in and the farmer is smilingly wishing for a shower now. The indications for a great harvest was never better and Adams county will continue a prosperous part of the middle west, SOCIETY ITEMS Club Calendar Munday. Delta Theta Tan —Mrs. Will Bowers.

WOMAN. A woman may be a fool, a sleepy fool, an agitated fool, a too awfully noxious fool, and she may even e be simply stupid. But she is never dense. She's never made of wood through and through, as some men are. There is in woman. always, somewhere, a spring Whatever men don't know about women (and it may be a lot or it may be very little,) men and even fathers do know that much, And that is why so many men are afraid of them. —Conrad.

Mary had a little lamb, With her it would frolic. One day it kissed her on the cheek And died of painter’s colic. —From the Arkansas Thomas Cat
