Life Building, Kansas City, Mo WELCOME YEOMEN:— Wo extend to President Frink, the officials of Yeomanry who are here with him today, the board of directors, state and district officers and all visiting Yeomen, our deepest appreciation of your visit to our fair city. Greetings and a welcome which conics from the hearts of our splendid people. We are sure you cannot help hut see ami know that it would he impossible to secure such cooperation as is manifested today except in a community where your ideal appeals to those who comprise that territory. The work of preparing for this day has not been work but rather pleasure for our good people. If we have failed in any way or omitted anything we assure you it has been only an oversight. Our efforts have not been directed towards a noisy, unwelldy dem onstration but rather to present a program which will inspire our guests to go on with their announced intentions to build a ‘City of Childhood” which will prove epoch making in the field of philanthropy. We believe this is the garden of Eden of central America, where a hundred years of history fails to dis close a single nonproductive year where we have the advantages of splendid drainage, a healthy climate, the four seasons and a people unexcelled for Godliness and llie brotherhood of man. If we can but partially convince you of the things we know of this county we are sure you will agree that no bet ter environment can be found for your children. We point to our churches and schools and roads to convince you that we are a peace loving and progressive people who build always for the future. We are ”just folks,” with no fancy garments or snobbish customs, we have no millionaires, neither do we have poor people. We pay our debts and wo love one another. Your ideals have found a most generous response here and we of Indiana feel that it would he a pleasure and a duty to help you work them out. If we wi’l i be permitted to thus serve we will feel we have accomplished something worth while and left a small foot print on the sands of time which will never he erased. —-1 1 I THE CRYSTAL I Last-Time-Tonight j& “THE LAST TRAIL” {£ A William Fox produc- |l lion ol Zone Grey’s fl greatest work 11 featuring an Hg All-Star Cast Ip A romance of outlaw- H ry in the border conn- II try.

WE ARE PROUD:— Some where In the United States during the next few months, work will will start upon Yeomundule, a city of childhood, to be erected by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, u» school and college uud homo for fatherless ami uiotherluss children. More than three hundred cities are asking that this great home bo located with them. Decatur is among thorn and our efforts today aro to attract to Indiana the attention of the directors who will make tho final decision. Let it be understood that if mmiii other -pot in this state is more attractive ir for any reason better serves the aims and purposes, our loyal citizens ye for that location. We believe we have u right to be seriously considered aud Ibat we will be, for along with the other cities we have all the ulvanlages uud we -believe we have shown today that we have the right ideals. There is nothing commercial about our efforts. Not u real estate dealer is taking advantage of the opportunity to Interest the Yeomen, not a business man here who has not entered into tlie spirit of the celebra tion, not a citizen Who is not eugerly ind consistently doing ail they can.

• We are proud of the community spirit h shown here anil we challenge any one d to point to a similar celebration. In p which there has boen a more untied i- mil sincere effort. it ~ - s ADAMS COUNTY: — g We call-attention of the visitors to he fact that this is one of the very y nest counties iu he middle west, with B ine towns, high class farmers and . stockmen; we have seven hundred , miles of improved roads, excellent •heels, fine churches, a modern hos- ] . pital under construction, every facil . dy to make home life happy. 1 )ec at u r If as' Tt 1 ) ion, owns its own modern light and , 3 power plant, fifteen miles of paved , t -streets, pure water, good sewerage, I 1 parks, fair anil square citizens, nine •hurdles, seven school houses includ f ng a new and up to the minute high i school, three steam railroads, a trac , . tion line, the only sugar factory iu lit , . diuna, a branch of the General Elec ' f rlc company, fouuderies, tile plant. ' , lller factories, glove factory and nu merous other industries. We have a , happy, healthy, industrious and splen . did community. Aud we are so proud i we just nearly "bust” telling people ■ , about it, modest as wc are. THEY ARE IN EARNEST:— , If you will read the story of the 1 , Ives of the men interested in the ' i 'City of Childhood” you will be con vinced that they mean what they say. , Most of them are men who have made 4 their own, several of them have ment i >ry of a ehildrihood, unhappy and with ! nit chance. They don’t want others to have to prepare themselves for thi , big battle as they did. Mr. Farmer • was a foreign waif and his success is * marvelous. Little wonder that he tells his story of the Yeomen ideal from the heart. The greatest men of the United ' States have endorsed the efforts now I being made to save the children and , to educate them. The plan will grow and eventually the seed now being sown will bring forth a groat and a real philanthropy. MUCH CREDIT DUE: — To those who have given their time and efforts to make today a success there is much credit duo. Every chairman and his committee have been faithful, all who have been call- . od upon have responded splendidly and financial support anil eo-operation has been generous beyond expectation.- ■ The big chorus is a real feature and the children have their parts perfectly. Organizations are taking part today and it’s all a demonstration of what community spirit will do. Mr. Tingle tho song loader says he has never witnessed a better display of working together than exhibited here and Tingle kuows for that's his business. We have been given much publicity along this line aud it all helps to attract attention to the "sweetest little city iu Indiana.” WE ARE YOURS: — This day belongs to you, Yeomen.
