songs still thrill you ? "Home, Sweet Home. ‘Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home” THEY are very rich. Those memory-laden song 3of long ago— th® songs your mother sang for you. Mother —are you giving your children —your family—all the happiness that this great big world has to offer? Not if music is absent from your home. Without music, you may never know those tender moments —when the hearts of mothers ®;id daughters draw close, and sons discover that fathers are pals. Music is all the more appreciated when produced on an instrument of the high grade quality of a PACKARD PIANO — or — PLAYER PIANO and our easy payment plan makes it convenient for anyone to own one. You are cordially invited to call and let us demonstrate the superior merits of our instruments. E. A.

We had notices in the daily paper three dlf ferent times for players to attend the practice at Bellmont Park, and will say very few players turned out. We also call attention to the public that Mr. Koos stated that the baseball the Legion club was playing was not strictly clean and on the square. Let us take for instance, the baseball club we had here two years ago, one of the best Decatur ever had —but does the public realize fhere was three or four home players who did not receive any money because they did not have sufficient funds to pay •he hoys. Does the public realize that the Legion played an excellent game at Hartford City, also the Huntington gime ln-re which the gate receipts did not pay the visiting team. The Legion would be glad to put a team on the field, one of the best around here, but the gate receipts ar t . so poor we can’t pay the men for playing. If the public would like to have a good team here, Walter Koos would he a good man to refer to as he once managed the Bobo team and probably the visiting team which Bobo could give more information re garding his management. If Walt Koos thinks he can put a real team in Decatur he is welcome to it as he will not interfere with the Legion and it he does the Legion will play three games out of town and it will be a booster and not a knocker tor the home team and we would do our share to make the home team a success. Yours for Clean Sport, Mgr. Chas. Starost. Capt. Hez. Cochran.
