With a membership of over 150 members and more coming in the directors of the Decatur Industrial Association feel that they are supported by the Athens of Decatur in their efforts to do things and that if help is needed it will be given freely. It's a fine community spirit. An effort will be made to have the old cemetery on Winchester street cleaned up. the grass cut and the dead trees removed. latter, it is hoped that the lot tan be turned over to the city and a park made out of it. The location is ideal for a city park and with the place fixed up a little it would add to the attretiveness of of the city. The battle to free the sons of the multi-millionaires who kidnapped and killed Robert Franks, the son of another Chicago millionaire, is on and speculation is rife if the death penalty will be inflicted. The state will ask that the Leopold and Loeb boys, students and "Intellectual" scholars, be ( tried <>n first degree murder and that the maximum penalty be given them. The trial will be watched with inter eat. As a result of the membership cam palgn made by Will Linn and his com mittec, 158 individuals have renewed their membership In the Decatur industrial Association, an increase of to over last year a/ld the campaign is not yet over. Several new members Were also secured. It shows a splendid spirit on the part of local business men to support their organisation and Is evidence that Decatur can and will do things.

Face io Face With Miss Belle Sherwin President of National League of Women Voters (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) • Women do not go so fur in their worship of heroines as men do in their worship of heroes." Miss Belle Sherwin, recently chosen President of the National League of Women Voters, was chatting with me after a strenuous session that had proved her point. A thousand women front all parts of the country had been deliberating on practical questions with-| out the usual "hoorah" for leaders that seems a prelude to most conven- ■ tions. The new leader chosen was Belle Sherwin, born in Cleveland. Ohio, the daughter of the late H. A. Sherwin, founder of the Sherwin-Williams Paint Company. Even in her girlhood ' days in Cleveland. Belle Sherwin was noted as one’young lady who could be depended upon to carry out any I project with which she was identilied. wh< ther it was a social function, a spelling match, or a mass meeting. Graduating fiom Wellesley, she continued for a number of years afterward as trustee of the College. After a year’s study at Oxford. Mins Sherwin decided upon making her own career and put aside her personal income for organizations that were hi Ipfng needy ■ people. She taught history for six years and was one of those-instructors who seemed able to understand the real value of the histofy of the past as a guide to future achievements. Returning to Cleveland. Belle Sherwin became active in the Cleveland Fonndation Committee, the first community foundation in the country. An director aMarge tor the Association for Criminal Justice in Cleveland, a member of the National Municipal League, and the American Ixibor Asaociatton. she found vent for her leadership From an afternoon tea Belle Sherwin has often left to take charge of clubs (or Kiris in Italian settlement*, where she has been at work for many years. In suffrage campaigns, the off position understood that matters were not going by default. There is a charm of intelligence and peranasive force In her personality that counts for results. Now that women have the vote, she Is as relentless in her catnptrgn to arouse women to tit themaelt* s for using the ballot as she was in fighting to s<*cure the right of suffrage. “Efficient citizenship requires a real process of edmation.” she con-’ Editor's Notes Sand ten n,mr< of your Mitchell Chapple, The Attic.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1921.

MISS BELLE StfERWIN says: “Voting is being to be a more intelligent function in the future. No! woman need feel herself too old to learn anything she wants To learn.” , lH>ard* heralding a curriculum of voter education. , United as we looked at the bulieUni "It is the habit today for many I young women to go out into the world j I with the determination to devote their lives to something worth while. Vot ing is going to be a more intelligent - function in the future." The National League of Women Voters have launched a systematic campaign to get the women's vote at every-election .Miss Sherwin is particularly fitted for this work because ! she inspires the impulse. "No woman need feel herself too i old to barn anything she w .lifts to I learn. The time will come when mature women who have brought up a famdy will look forward to middle ago not as the time when work to ; ended, and there is nothing ahead but helping raise the grandchildren, but as,/he time when she is rally free to take up new and real life stadteu. becked by th-* experience that dire<ts intelLg. nt effort. Ilotne and family Is not the eml of a chance for education for women, hot rather a time for pr< lairing for the real education.” Miss Sherwin drvases modestly uni ; most b-eomincly. impressing one at once as a woman of quiet, dynamic force. Her big blit* eyes fairly beam wlu-n she *s talking in a wi-llnoslu lated voice upon the subject that ll<‘» ho close to her he it I. Sb<- has devoted her life to wotoanbood. and child hcod in particular, and one of her n< wspaper friends in Cleveland remarked: “Belle Sherwin a- a personality has bee n a power in more diversified forward tnnv» ;n< nt>. in Oh o and the giowing city of Cleveland for a long er ih-iLmI than any other one tdngfF individual whose name is included in the poll list (if the State of Presidents." • favarite famous folk now living to Joe Astoria Hotel.

Gixulncss —-lovely vine and fruitful Dropping in ttie lap of cure Luscious grapes of cheer and comfort To each one, o'erflowing share. Peace—a flower of wondrous habits, 1 ■“ rinsing if the wicked pass; Petals white and bloom abundant. Often rudely plucked, alas! Joy—a kind of sweet petunia.
