OUR OPPORTUNITY:— On April 10th last in this little city of Decatur was exhibited a community spirit, an evidence of good and, an outpouring of sentiment so beautiful that the whole community was' uplifted and exalted. The occasion ■was, as we all know, the meeting ■welcoming Mr. Farmer and his friends who were on a mission seeking a location for the Home for the children of Yeomanry’s deceased members and others. It was conceded ami joyed over that the spirit evidenced at that meeting was not a manufactured spirit. That it was really and truly a manifestation of the real thought and attitude, of our people. For many days afterwards, in our homes and on our streets warmer handclasps and greetings i were given to each other and “what I a wonderful and inspiring meeting” was the theme of conversations. All of us are very proud of our people. Proud of their grasp of what the : finer things of life mean. Proud of the fact that they sensed what was in the hearts and minds of Yeomanry.

We always knew and felt that Decatur and vicinity was the brightest spot on earth but that night made us doubly sure. Wo felt that Yeo- *■ munry could find no cleaner, purer, . brighter atmosphere in which to r ' place their children than here? We . would take them to our heart and so would all Indiana. We flatter ours selves that Yeomunry was inclined " so to think and that sre Is still in--5 dined so to think. J on August 22nd next we are j g*ing to have as our guests all the 1 national officers and administrators _i of Yeomanry. It is a distinct honor that they are showing us. We approdate thnt thoroughly. We are going to try on that day to show our ap-

pretlatlon. We fondly hope that on I that day the evidence of our appreI elation shall not be lowered into something that might resemble sim- ' ply a glorified "circus day.” That would not do at all. What we want Ito show, IS WHAT WE ARE. That j we appreciate Yeomanry’s ideal of a marvelous philanthropy and are happily and thoroughly in perfect sympathy with it. We want to show Yeomanry more beautifully still that ! same spirit that we showed in April. Have we the ability to do so? Certainly. We are not a selfish people. We, equally with Yeomanry want a location selected that will be BEST for the Children. We think Indiana and Decatur the best. Why not? We feel it, believe it, breathe it. We believe that Yeomanry will think as we think. Now we are preparing for that day. All Indaiana will help us. The fiftytwo "Homesteads" of Indiana are with us. The prominent of Indiana will aid us. Sliq.il we hope that each of us shall put his best foot forward testifying to our intelligence and our full sympathy for a great cause’i May not we all hope that on August 22 there shall be shown to Y’eomanry and to the world, in truth and in fact, that our community is a really glorious one, filled with Christian people whose hearts beat true to

glorious ai|d| that that day shall far eclipse in every way that night tn April of which we are so proud? - Now all together for a big happy day on August 22nd This Is just ouc more opportunity to prove to the world that this is a community united, of one thought and that a desire to do things for the benefit or the children. We will have a big chorus, two excellent bands, orchestras and drill teams, a thousand school children in parade and pageant—a big day for every one and a time to be happy. The celebration will be unique and fitting to the occasion- honoring our guests, the officials and directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen.

’ Pass the buck to congress. That's - the place just now. lor there any [ problem presented dies after a quart rell of several weeks. There finishes > all matters for which the country has waited now for four years. A proud . record and now to the long list of . pigeon holed woes is to be added the strike muddle. A fine outlook with winter approaching. One of the things difficult to understand there days is how one coal company offiers fuel at four dollars a ton, others seven and others even higher at the mines. Page Mr. Hoover who fixed a price of three dollars and very emphatically declared that no company would be permitted to charge more. ■ ■ —•—— — OBITUARY Felix Caslin Summers was born in Van Wert county.

‘ BERNE BOY IN r JAIL HERE ON THEFT CHARGE (Continued from page one) r .us Melchi were notified of the theft 5 yesterday. • Yesterday morning when Mr. C. L. Musselman, a farmer living near the , Biberstein farm, was doing his morn ing work, he found a strange horse in his pasture field, lie went to Geneva yesterday and told several people 1 there thnt he had found the horse in > his field, and he was told of the theft , of the Ford horse the preceding night. Suspicion was placed on the Biber stein boy and town marshals Shep ’ herd and Hollingsworth, of Geneva, obtained search warrants for the Hl ■ berstein premises. They went to the Biberstein home and found the buggy and harness in the barn. Sheriff Melchi arrested tho boy andbrought him to this city. The boy told the sheriff that he had taken the horse from tho bitch rack and driven it to a place near the Mussellman home, whelre he unhitched the horse and turned in into tho field. Then, he said, he pulled the buggy home three and threeuarters miles southwest of Berne, and tho next morning told his parents he had purchased the buggy in Berne. He had purchased some paint with which to paint the buggy. The biberstein youth has been working tn Berne, but he said, he saw Sheriff Melchi drive past and he thought the officer was looking for him, so he quit work and fled to his home. A large scope of territory had been searched by Mr. Ford and several others in an effort to locate the outfit, before it was located yesterday. A charge of grand larceny was filed against Biberstein this morning and he was given a hearing in the court of G. F. Kintz, Justice of the Peace. He entered a plea of guilty and was bound over to the circuit court under bond of 3500. The bond was not furnished and he was return ed to the county jail. However, it is said, that his father. Adam Biberstein, will furnish the necessary bond for the release of his son tomorrow. —-c — MEET TO RATIFY LARGE PURCHASE (Continued from page one) building and every member is urged to be present at the meeting Tuesday.

tive Engineers, scouted the statement that an Immediate walkout was i scheduled on the Illinois Central. ' "There will be no general walkout.” he said. "If cur men are fired on In the coal fields of Kentucky and Illinois train service may stop to these sections. Officials of the Illinois Central stated emphatically that they did not expect u walkout of brotherhood men and declared they had received no re ports of their train crews being fired on. The telegrams to local brother hood representatives Instructed them to take up the matter of danger with the railroads, "Endeavor to eliminate the danger. If you do not succeed the men will not be required nor requested to work.” Officials of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern, at Joliet expressed confidence that brotherhood men on strike there would return to work within a few days. They refused, however, to give reasons for their statement. National guard units were on guard at the Chicago and Alton yards at Joliet, which threatened to spread the brotherhood's walkout to that road. Labor agencies along west Madison street today declared that they were experiencing difficulty in getting men to take the places of striking shopmen in Illinois. Repetition of the Herrin slaughter is feared because of inadequate protection they claim.
