The Decatur Industrial Association Is now a member of Chamber of Commerce, this step havt jug been decided upon last evening, without a dissenting vote from the hundred men present. During the past sow years the State Chamber .alias proven its efficiency and its power to do a great good for the people of the state. Time was when demagogues won applause tiy denunciation of American business but now we all recognize the fact that without clean business we could not progress. The success of the laborer, the farmer, of every one depends largly upon the methods of the business of the country. “Victory lies in well directed organization” is a motto of the SI to Chamber and a good one and it is just as important that each local business association bo members of the state body as it is that each good citizen should be members of (he local association. “He profits most who serves best” and "The gauge of our success is the assistance we give others to succeed.” These arc the real inspirations hack of the local and state industrial hoards and they mean much. We congratulate the Industrial Association upon this progressive step, believing that it means much for their success. The State Ohaniber has a number of departments, including freight and traf’fle, educational, agricultural, legislative, retail merchants, information and finance and you are urged and requested to use the departments as needed. It is more important to do our part to retain an industry than to land a new one. We know what the sugar factory is and we know it has been a great help to the community. Take

MAI BE AN ASSET Children of the Near East Aided hy the Generous People of America HAVE GREAT FUTURE Observation of Independent Observer Gives Conditions of Orphanages Indianapolis, Jan. 10.—Prof. Francis \V. Kelsey of the University of Mich igan, who was sent out by his university to do research work in the Near East, found himself constantly thrown into association with the Near East Relief workers. Tho impressions formed by this independent observer of our work will, wc are sure, interest contributors and al! friends of the cause at Rome. We arc therefore submitting a few excerpts from a recent article by Prof. Kelsey under the title of. Some Aspects of American Relief Work in the Near East “The orphanages claim first consideration. When you visit only one or two the case may be different. But when you go from orphanage to orphanage, visiting several in a day in a single city, and look into the faces of homeless and motherless children counted no longer by hundred totals but in the thousands and perhaps tens of thousands, if you have had children of your own, you become subject to a depression not easily thrown off.

“Y'ou cannot help thinking back behind this array of human salvage, re calling, as you hear the story of individual waifs, that in many cases one child is the only survivor of a large and prosperous home, saved almost hy a miracle. Words cannot convey an impression of the misery and filth of the great majority of them when they were brought in. some found wandering in the open as wild creatures, naked and half starved, others rescued from the hardships of virtual slavery; all having in their mental background in effaceable pictures of murder and violence. "But there is a brighter side to the picture. You find efficient men and women who have left comfortable homes, many of them also well-pay-ing positions, in order to come out for this work, receiving as compensation only tiieir expenses and perhaps an allowance of twenty-five dollars a month, exposing themselves to risks not dreamed of at- home. “And the children are not left in Idleness. Both boys and girls have teaching suited to their years. When they are old enough the boys are distributed among the trades, the girls learn work for which they are adapt ed.. At the same time instruction in studies is given to all. The purpose is to make the children independent of assistance at the earliest moment consistent with their future welfare. “When you see such work going on, you realize that the orphanages, if they continue to receive adequate support, will train up a new generation of men and women detached ' from old traditions and moulded according to new and higher ideals. They may become a leaven of the right kind of living and of life for the whole Near East beyond the Aegean and the Bosphorus. They may be made an asset of incalcuublo value for civilization.” BREAD PRICES DOWN Bread prices have come down in-De-catur according to an Ad. in tonight’s paper. A local bakery is selling bread at thirteen cents for a single loaf or two for twentyfive.

Tho Geneva high school boys’ varsity basket ball team, accompanied by a number of rooters, journeyed to this city yesterday afternoon and were forced to how to the local high school cagers in one of the most exciting battles staged in this city this year, the locals proving victors by a score of 26 to 18. Walter Geller, of Fort Wayne, welt known to the local fans, acted as referee and performed his work in a very satisfactory manner. The visitors outweighed the locals man to man, having one of the largest teams to visit this city this year Both teams got under way early in the game, the visitors being tho first to score with a foul goal, which was quickly repeated by the locals. T!.e teams continued to work back and forth, both registering a basket at frequent intervals, the score resulting a tie at 10 to 10 tho first half. The same spirit was resumed the second half, with first one team forcing ahead of the other, the score varying only several points at a!! times. The score was again tied at 18 to IS with only three minutes to play when the locals opened tip and began to drop the pill through tiie ring, the visitors being unable to score, tho game ending 26 to IS in favor of the locals. The game was undoubtedly the best and fastest ever exhibited on the local floor and kept the large crowd in a continuous uproar. Bobby Meyers proved the big point getter for the locals, he registering many field baskets and foul goalswind played an excellent floor game, followed hy Linn who also played a fine floor game, and although shooting in hard lines, was aide to register several.
