THE YEOMEN AT DECATUR:— The national officers and directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen must have been profoundly impressed by the enterprise, the generous hospitality, the wholesome atmosphere of Decatur, when they visited that progressive little city yesterday, to see the flags fluttering a thousand welcomes, and to receive the cordial handclasps that are never quite so 1 warm as in Adams county. Having in mind the location of the ten million- 1 dollar home for the orphan children, the officers must have found in the clean, homelike atmosphere and spirit of the community and in the beauty of the surrounding farmlands, than which there are no better, most all of the essentials they were seeking. The best place to establish a home of the kind intended is where the people of a community want it. The most pathetic thing in the world would be a home for orphans in the midst of a cold, unsympathetic people, indifferent to its presence among them. We have seen a few such and they have always seemed more like mausoleums. Should theYeomen decide to locate this home among the people of Decatur the orphan children will live in an atmosphere at warmth and welcome, and the institution will be established in a community holding forth all the physical and material advantages that must enter into the determination of the practical problem.—Fort Wayne. Journal Gazette. . The day belonged to Y’eomanry. We'll say it did. From seven o’clock yesterday morning until midnight last night there was a conftamis program of unique, appealing, effective demonstration, all par excellence, all genuine, manifesting the most wonderful community spirit ever exhibited in this locality. The speeches were fine, the community singing wonderful, the bands delightful, the parade a real one, the spirit of that brand which made every one better for mingling 1 with the crowd. It was a success we 1 are sure and whether the school and ' homo comes to Adams county or not ' this community has derived a benefit that will never be erased. .■ Charles (Guy) Tingle is some chorus ' leader. He is more—a community 1 loader who assisted the local men in 3 a hundred ways and who never let up ' on steam and pep until the meeting 1 closed with “The end of a perfect day.” Needless to say that our people hope to know him better and to see him of- 1 ten. When this city tries tp do $ things in the future they will think of $ Tingle who “Tingled, tingled, tingled $ '-■<2 1 ■!!_■■ mi

until the Yeomen agreed with him. He's a real “guy.* We are proud of the special Yeoman paper published from this office yesterday, of the organization which made it possible and we cannot exp ess the sincere appreciation of the support given by the advertisers. Muy *e call your attention to the fact that every one of the advertisements is a gem worth reading, demonstrating as could be done in no other way the unselfishness of our people and the sincerity in the ideals expressed. Secretary of State Ed Jackson. Dr. Harry Hill, Mr. McKee, R. L. Hill, Mrs. Malone and the others on the program yesterday expounded words of wisdom and were entitled to the round after round of applause given them. It was a great occasion according to a hundred visitors to whom we talked and as one railroad official told us, would be a big help to the na tion if it could lie staged in every county in the United States. The round table talks at the K. of I’, home last evening were an inspiration. Our visitors were deeply moved by the many expressions and did not hesitate to say so. Mr. Dugan as chairman of I the meeting did himself proud and per formed like a veteran toastmaster. It was three big hours of the kind which makes men bigger and better and those present will remember it as long as the/ live. We appreciate and we know the Yeomen officials and members likewise do, -the splendid messages from Governor McCray, Senator Taggart and ex governor Ralston, expressing a welcome from Indiana that cannot be misunderstood. Sorry these men could not be present but the messages sure helped. Decatur lodge No. 1608, Brotherhood of American Yeomen now has a membership of about 350 having trebbled in size with the initiation of a splendid class yesterday. The lodge will step forward rapidly it is expected and will one day be the largest in the state and a mighty strength for good. The Lord must be with us for he gave us perfect weather for the big celebration. It could not have been better if made to order and not a single thing occured to mar the pleasures of the wonderful occasion, unexcelled in the history of Yeomanry. Dr. Roy Archbold presented a book containing the resolutions and other important documents gathered and which Mr. Frink promised would have a place in the new home wherever it is located. His part on the program was most effective. To chairman Schirmcyer. to Clark Lutz, to Hugh Hite, to Herman Yager, to Charles Dugan, to all the other chairmen and assistants who gave their time, energy and ability that the day might be a success, 'our hats are off. »■—» The officials of Yeomanry will remember for years to come their vusit to our state, county and city. That they were impressed is not doubted and we are assured by Mr. McKee and others that they will return to complete their Investigations. We “jist" 'aint got nothin’ again’ nobody. _ s_s_s_ W ANT ADS EAlJN—s—s—s S—S—S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
