LADIES’ APPAREL Is Now Being Manufactured in Decatur by the Teeter Garment Factory WOULD BRANCH OUT If Proper Encouragement is Given—Moved Here a Short Time Ago Perhaps it is not generally known to Decatur residents than we have an industry here that has been in operation for the past several months, manufacturing a necessity that all ladies demand. The industry is known as the. Teeter Garment company, and they manufacture ladies house dresses, aprons, ladies night dresses, middie waists, underclothing, table and bed linens, and also do a general line of hemstitching, and other similar work, in which the ladies especially take considerable pride. There has been much demand for the articles manufactured and they have a special representative on the road. The compaily is cramped for room, and much better headway could be made it this was provided. It is likely that the matter will be presented to the Decatur Industrial association at the meeting Monday evening.

gPg NEWS Boys Lose; Girls Win. The Fort Wayne high school boys and girls basket ball teams, old-time rivals of the local high school, accompanied by several hundred enthusiastic rooters, clashed in a return game with the locals last evening, the local boys being forced down to defeat by a score of 25 to 15, while the girls continued their victorious march and defeated the Fort Wayne ladies by a score of 20 to 10. The games were probably the best ever staged in this city and were witnessed by an exceptionally large crowd, the Athletic hall being filled to capacity, and many were turned away. The Fort Wayne boys showed good form and proved entirely too strong for the locals, they starting their scoring machine as soon as the game opened, gained a lead over Decatur boys which they could not svcrcome, and were leading at the end of the first half by a score of 17 to 9. The battle ’continued in the second half the locals seemingly unable to get-to-gether and failed to stop the bombardment of the Fort Wayne boys, this.period of the game running pretty Sven, the Fort Wayne Irnys still leading when the final whistle blew by a score of 25 to 15. The game staged between the girls teams was also an exhibition out of the ordinary, aiid was probably the hardest game oh the locals’ schedule this season. The first half was ‘nip and tuck,” neither side being able to gather many points, and ended with the locals leading by a score of G to 4. The locals performed in their usual manner the last half, registering baskets at frequent intervals, allowing (heir opponents only six more points, and came through with flying colors with a score of 20 to 10. Geneva Defeats Hartford. The Hartford township boys’ high school basket ball team was defeated by the Geneva’ high school eagers at the latter .place last evening tiy a score of 35 to 11. Both teams are strong ones, and will participate in the county tournament to be held in this city on February IS and 19, tin Genova boys playing their first game vzitli the Decatur boys Friday evening. ' .DEMPSEY TO VISIT EUROPE. . New York, Feb. 5. —(Special to the Democrat).—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, is to ivnade Europe, it was learned hero today. With his manager Jack Kearns, he is to sail next week for London where he will start an exhibition tour that will include England, France and probably other countries. Kearns could not be located today but the story was confirmed by one of his closest associates. The champion can engage only in exhibition work as the terms of his agreement with the promoters of the Dempsey-Carpentier bout prohibit him from engaging in a contest in Europe until he meets the French man.

Money Grows If you had a handful of wheat it would not make you a meal, but if the handful of wheat was planted, the harvest would serve to supply many meals. The same thing is true of money. The little savings will not purchase much, but planted in a bank, they accumulate and with interest added make a sum big enough to be worth while. Come in and start your savings account and save a part of your salary and see how fast the account will grow. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co “BANK OF SERVICE’’
