Chi cage, A PAID SERCETARY:— Several weeks ago we urgpd that the Decatur Industrial Association try a paid secretary for one year. At the annual meeting the proposition was discussed from several angles, tie general opinion being evidently divided. We have since that time been watching the progress of business associations in this section where paid secretaries are employed and we have not changed our mind that the way to do things is to employ a man whose business is to t ike ittre of public matters. Me have just received bulletin No. 2. sent out by John G Roul7.cn, paid secretary for the Van Wert Chamber of Commerce in which he reports activities for the past three weeks. Here are a few of the things he has taken care of: — Planned a Dollar Day for the 2Sth with a special newspaper edition of Iti.taiu copies; Star!' d plans for cheaper Height rtite:; with progres; Be. m negotiations for securing two immll imlnstri-s; Hated Die members $1,200 by eliminating live non-worlhwbile advertisitu; ■.ijietiie., and driving out one hook agent who solicited mom in udv.mce of delivery; Appealed to < ity c.mncil for new street signs; Appropriated money for equipment for dental clinic; Inaugurated plans for free camp site for tmists; Organized committee Io sec that widow':; monies ate properly invc led; Airanged for Schick test to be given io children as gin.rd against diphtheria; i'cok ear:; of 162 items for Xsuolilted Charities. Don't you believe these things would keep a secretary busy and that tii • community beeping that brand of aclivity up for a year will surpass those towns which cling to the oldfashioned methods? .Think it over boys. It’s “doggone” important. Houator Jo ■ Cravens and his b meh of frisky colls, who bolted the Indiana sc ram I'lid'went over Io Dayton to take a few lessons in air fl'ing, motored back to Indianapolis in the lam<ms blue Ims early this mottling. \Ve presume they have been duly and truly asmred Hint (he Penrod bill is ;■ dejid as the ‘ fourteen points.” if they haven't we will never forgive th- tn for we still believe if they had cm lined in the senate and quietly permitted the Republican leailor; to bi ■■ stoh-n the second district, they ••'.lull have coi’tieilfed a worse crime i<any a.ny for which they could have on indicted. Information was :,• r" r th?; morning as to detail bitt a Lietilenant Governor Van Orman !> "! charge of the settlement, it i: likely that there is a distinct I'nderstiinding that will be kept and I lint, the Cravenites have won a signal victory for the right. The next day or two will tell as the work of the legislature will practically bo over l>> tomorrow wh<’n many of the Hefr'dit .it: plan Io leave for Was'tlngl'"i Io 'attend the iuaugtiration. f iveraor Jackson has vetoed the ith h.i' t| pupii'il btii’l hottift; by dc- •' ’ d in,-'jorlf !<•: and provided for a : 'i m mortgage exemption instead of Jl.C'di.

THE MINISTERS MESSAGE “True worth is in being, not seeming,” Who lives thus, lives not in vaiti. To give is liettrr than gain. Lift 's highest purpose is not in vnin. Men have more value than mountains Though forests the mountains adorn Are bettor than fertile valleys O cattle and tended corn. r If men would be strong they must labor Jbscrve and think to be Wise; So, the helpful, only, are happy Who, self, daily sacrifice. In songs of unearthly sweetness In passion pure as sunshine The minister pours forth tbi.i message Th" mersage of Christ the divine. —A. D.

Feb. 27. On the theory that much of the crime in the United States is caused by eye-strain and cross-eyes Henry J. Schircon. Chicago surgeon, today wrote Governor Small for permission to make a survey of Illinois penal institutions with a view lodeterminc the part unbalanced eyes play in crime. In letters to Governor Small end Senator Dailey of the Illinois senate judiciary committee. Dr. holds lhal most irrational acts can lie traced Io eye strain, and cross eyes. “j want to determine the relationship between crime and defective vision,” Schircson said. Sixty five per cent of the Aniericr.n people suffer from eye muscle balance and many thousands suffer form cross eyes, the surgeon stated. “Those eye defects, in Hie majority of cases can tic allcviateil by n very simple and painless operation taking about three minutes time". Dr. Seliirson declared. "There arc six million cross eye sufferers in this country*, main of them with potential criminal instincts provoked by undue eye strain and nervous disorganizat ion". _ o , Fishermen Rescue Deer > From Icy River Water (UNITED PKESS SEliVli'El Indianapolis, Ind .

' • f The doer evidently had been chased many miles for it was very hot and 1 nearly exhausted when it sought 3 sanctuary in the dull waters. The • cold caused temporary paralysis and when it started to sink, the fisher- ■ Inen. attracted by the commotion, rcs--5 tueil it. They got in touch with Warden Itaumun at llockport and he turn ;i ed the animal over to th'' Haiuei; Park near llockport, where it is now t' safe from liouiids and limiters.
