There will be no efforts made to force you to join the Yeomen lodge though it will of course be more than appreciated if you do so. This part of the program is a courtesy only and not a necessity but this should not prevent us from having the largest class ever initiated. Join —but join in the right spirit. It's most too hot to hold political meetings any way and the people will not respond until the interest of the campaign reaches a point when it leads all others. In the meantime organization, taking the poll and looking after registration is about all that can be done for a month or six weeks., Congressman Vestal spoke to a few of the faithful at the court room last evening, Mr. la'sh and Mr. Cart wright who were also billed, being unable to be here. The representa tive insisted on registering the vot< and securing a poll of Adams county. As a “pep” session it resembled i meeting of creditors called to mak* an extra assessment. No explanatioi was offered regarding the New York World charges or of his record. Two months ago you were advise* to put in your winter’s supply of 6>n' and it’s still a good thing to d* though the price has advanced ; couple of dollars on the ton and fc still showing an upward trend There does not seem to be much op portunity to get a reduction with th* strike on and the surplus about use* up. The danger is that a coal famin* will result while the boys in Wash ington play politics and conduct amature investigations. There are some serious days ahead unless some thing is soon done to end the strike of the miners and the railroaders. The committees in charge of th* Yeomen day celebration are soliciting the funds with which to conduct the event and it should be understood that the same care will be used as was exercised in the Home Coming several years ago. A complete re port will be printed showing the re ceipts and expenditures arfd not a penny will be unaccounted for. There will be no wild expenditures but to put the day on as it should be of course requires some funds. The finance committee with Mr. Ehlnger’e as chairman is busy now. Make their work as easy as possible by giving cheerfully and liberally. Unique, unusual but absolutely fair is the method to be used next Satuiday afternoon by the Civic Section of the Ladies Club to increase their treasury balance, the fund to be used

' tor the very splendid purpose of furnishing the rest room at the library. The plan to be used Saturday Is a big public sale at which will • be offered moat everything you can ’ think of except old clothing. This week the ladles are gathering the articles which are being stored at the Carroll offices on South Second street, fancy work which is to be left at Mrs. Burdg's millinery store. They will have baked goods canned fruit, furniture and a thousand articles used in the home and the faculty and students of the auction school will sell the goods. It’s a community affair for a good cause and you can't lose. Be sure to attend the sale and be a booster for the rest rooms which mean so much and which are so badly needed. The fact that nearly a hundred members of committees on the Yeomen celebration braved the hot weather last evening and reported at Industrial rooms, is the surest sign of the success of the big event. By August 22nd every one in this community will be interested in the occasion. important as an uplifting influence and an unusual event in the history of the middle west. The program as outlined and adopted will include a busy day, not of noise and show, but with which we hope to impress our visitors with our grasp of their philanthropic ideals. An auto tour to the sites will start the day. followed by a parade of civic and fraternal organizations with delegations from many cities and from every township. A picnic dinner at Bellmont park with drills and speeches, the initiation of a large class of Yeomen, a dinner at six o’clock for the visitors and a short program at Water Works park in the evening, will fill the day. A chorus of a thousand voices led by one of America’s greatest songsters will be a feature and there will be many others. It is to be a day of surprises and a different celebration than you have’ ever witnessed. With the one hundred per cent co-operation being given, August 22nd will be Decatur’s greatest day in history.

WHEN A PINT IS A PINT One of the helpful auxiliaries in a canning campaign is an enameled ware measuring cup. The “cups” usually called for in recefpes are such a variable quantity that it is often guesswork as to how much a “cup" should contain. There is fortunately no doubt at all that a pint is a pint and a quart is a quart and these measures can be depended upon for accuracy. In making fruit juices to be canned or bottled for winter use theee measures are especially useful as enameld ware ,will not be affected by even strong acid nor will it darker the most delicate coloring. r - PICNIC Zion Reformed church will hold thei annual picnic at Bellmont Park o Thursday, p. m..

Dallas, Texas, July 18— Flappers before you decide on a husband, see him first in a bathing suit. So advises Frank E. Morris, execu tive secretary of the Texas Retail Dry Goods Association, He says: “If I were a woman I would never decide on a man until I have first seen him in a bathing suit and that

uft(<r he had had a dip In the water,' g 0 that I could determine just how ugly a creature 1 was about to en courage as a possible haabßni ’’ ••Men are as clever as women In hiding their defects under a tailors &rt • "Too, 1 would recommend to men that they see women in their bathing suit before popping the question. • There is a fine chance for deception on the part of women and men might be disillusioned and suffer a good many regrets, just as the woman would, were they to ask the young lady to take a swim before becoming too strongly emtneshed in Cupid’s spider web.” Morris is a defender of the flapper. “The flapper is a much abused person," he says. "There is too much of a modern tendency to make evil out of everything.” »— — WANT ADS EARN—s—s—3 t—WANT ADS EARN—
