YEOMAN DAY:—Decatur is to have a Yeoman day and the people of this community will be asked to participate in an unusual celebration in approval of the splendid work proposed by this lodge to provide for the unfortunate children of tomorrow. The event will be an unusual one, not the general boistrous and fire cracker hub-hub which often marks July celebrations but a program devoted to ideals which wil limpress ail who gather for the picnic occasion. Plans are now being made and within a week the exact date will be announced, having been tentatively fixed but awaiting the approval of the national officers of the great order for it js planned to have the directors and officials as our special guests on that day. It should be understood that the occasion is one to impress the people of the middlewest with the great movement now underway to provide a home and school for the orphan children and the widowed mothers and should ap peal to all who feel an interest in humankind. This proposed celebration will therefore be carefully planned to impress our visitors not by noise but by sentiment that we

realize the great importance of this work to which a number of the great men of the country uro now devoting their attention. It is not so much that we land the home as it is that wo do our share towards popularizing in a sympathetic manner the great work in hand. Hear these facts in mind as we progress with this work, remembering that this is not au industrial movement but rather a desire to uplift the unfortunate boys and girls and make of them better citizens. It's a glorious cause and the day should be the greatest in our history. Recently we held a community meeting at the gym and the good feeling demonstrated is still apparent. It pays to yet together for a great cause and that shall be our efforts now. The Fort Wayne friends of George Bittier, and they are legion, cannot but be delighted at the rapidity of his rise in the banking world during the last few years. He has just been importuned to accept the presidency of the West Side Bank of Evansville, one of the strong financial institutions of that city. The bank was one of the institutions with which the late Ben Bosse was intimately ident ified, and of which his brother-in-law, Fred Riechman, who died two weeks after the death of the former mayor, was president. At the present time, Mr. Bittier is the vice-president of the Merchants National Bank of Indianapolis, familiarly known over the state as the Frenzel bank. Whether he elects to remain in his present position or to assume the presidency of the Evansville institution, his growing prestige in banking is demonstrated by the confidence in his ability displayed by the directors who have extended the invitation. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The following editorial metion appeared in the Youngstown Citizen and concerns a brother of P. J. Hyland of this city: ‘Efficiency in the administration of city affairs is often obtained by continuing in office those who have provlen themselves capable, painstaking

J FCIGAR ■ For the smoker who knows S ■ how good a cigar ought to be S I for Sc. * Ask for It by full nemo. a F. MCCONNELL A SON Distributor* and able administrators of the city’s various functions. Youngstown has several examples of this theory. As an instance of excellent public service, we wish to cite the career of CityClerk M. F. Hyland. In our judgment Mr. Hyland is the kind of man whose public service exemplifies the qualification of efficiency in its highest sense. It wil be recalled that Mr. Hyland has served the city of Youngstown for many years and each year he grows stronger and more efficient in the administration of the affairs of his office, partly because of his native ability and aptitude for that sort of work, and again because of the experience he has gained through the years.” , Mrs. Carrie Haubold. splendidlyqualified, very popular and a woman interested in this city and our school work, was chosen last night to be the first woman member of the board of school trustees. She will take her office August Ist, succeeding Mr. Cal E. Peterson who has served most efficiently for three years, and who retires with a clean and splendid record. There is no doubt that Mrs> Haubold will prove of great value as a member of the board. In other cities where women have acted in this capacity the results have been all that could be asked and we are sure her selection w-ill prove satisfactory to our people. Get set to boost for Yeoman day in Decatur. Plans are now really under way for a big day and a program which will so impress the vis iting members of the national board of directors that they will know we have caught the big idea of the wonderful work proposed and will decide to locate in this community. It will be different from the usual celebration in many ways. “FIGHTIN’ MAD" LOVE STORY OF ADVENTURE There is a wealth of romance and adventure, with daring feats of horsemanship and perilous escapades portrayed in "Fightin’ Mad,” a Metro release for William Decmond Productions, Wednesday and Thursday at the Mecca Theater. There is never a draggy moment. The youthful hero gains the friendship of his comrades of the Border Patrol by his expert use of his fists and then proves that he is just as good a rider and fighter when they set out to rescue his sweetheart who has been captured by bandits. In this screen adaption of the original story of H. H. Van Loon, Wiljliam Desmond once again demonstrates that he has few competitors as an all-around athlete. Virginia Brown Faire was excellent as the girl who found many strange happenings in the big outdoors. Rosemary Theby as the sweetheart of the bandit chief and William Lawrence as the chief were both typical of their parts. ‘‘Fightln’ Mad" was directed by Joseph Harry A. Gersted. Matinee —Wednesday only, 10c and 20c; Night, 10c and 25c. o —— MUSICAL AT U. B. CHURCH The King’s Daughters Sunday School Class of the U.
