PYTHIAN DAY NEXT THURSDAY:— The program for the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Knights of Pythias lodge of Decatur to be held next Thursday at Bellmont Park, has been offclally announced and is complete and attractive. The event is one of great interest, marking fifty years of existence tor this splendid organization in this community and coming as it does when one of the members of Kekionga lodge, Hon. Dore B. Erwin, is serving as the grand chancellor of the state, is most fitting. It is needless to say that it will be an event worth attending. for if you have read the program we are sure you are convinced of that fact. The public is invited to attend and delegations are expected here from many counties in the northern part of the state, from Ohio and Michigan. Mr. Erwin, because of his high standing in the order has secured the promise of the leading men of the lodge to attend and the event will be an Erwin reception as well as an anniversary. Our distinguished fellow citizen has made a splendid record and is recognized over the state as one of the leading men of a lodge which numbers several hundred thousand.
Decatur will welcome the visiting Knights anil will appreciate the visit here of those who attend. There will be a parade and an afternoon and evening program at the park. There will be band, orchestra and vocal music, a welcome address by French Quinn and a response by Clem V. Yoke, a past grand chancellor of Ohio, addresses by hfrs. Emma Heffner, grand chief of the Pythian Sisters and by United States Senator James E. Watson. Mr. Erwin will act as permanent chairman of the meeting. The evening session will provide a delightful entertianment with a production of the famous “Damon anil Pythias" drama. It will be a great day for the lodge and a fine event for this community. We are sure every one in the city feels that way and hopes for perfect weather and a fine time. The bandits organization are going to show us that if we try to stop their murderous plans to rob and steal and destroy, we will be sorry or dead. Ben Hance and his wife who live near Muncie gave the informstieu which led to the arrest and convic-
tlon of Gerald Chapman, known as the king of them all, and now under erentence to die. Late yesterday afternoon two pals of Chapman lying In wait for Mr. and Mrs. Hance, shot and killed them as they passed along the highway. Here's another chance for some foolish folks to work up some gob sentiment as to why these low down, white livered men of the under world should not be speedily executed. The sooner these thugs are shown by being punished in a manner that will eally hurt and frighten them, the sooner this will be a safe country In which to live. When it becomes dangerous to travel our highways, either day or night, its time to really fight that condition and we will never do it with reprieves and pardons and paroles and light sentasce* and lectures -ad spunking them ?d the wrist.

Five 5 of the best physicians in the country ' gave her every attention and every 1 thing known to science was tiled.

The crowd came early and are here for the day. Gift distributions this morning and afternoon attracted attention and pleased every one whether they were fortunate or not. There is no question that it pays a community to do things and this has been demonstrated here for several ' years. In other cities the plans have been changed to cover a half weekpf bargains and attractions with clean 1 and wholesome entertainment and it ’ is possible that some such idea will ' bo adopted here. At least it is worth ■ consideration by those in charge of the events.

The People’s Voice THAT MUNICIPAL HEATING PLANT Last spring a petition signed by more than 150 taxpayers and prop erty owners of the city was presented to the City Council asking the Council to make an investigation and ascertain the probabt’e cost and practibility of installing a municipal heating plant in this city. Wth the approaching of fall and the nearing of the time when we tradi the ice man for the coal man, our memories are revived as to this petition. May we inquire if anything has been done toward determining the cost of such a plant and whether or not it would be practical to install one in our city? Os course it is too late no-v to complete such a plant for this winter, but if nothing is ever done, we will never have one. nor even know yhethftr or not we even could have one. It is not too late to make the investigation anyway, and that is all the asked for at this time. —A Petitioner. 'hull! , ~»i WANT ADS fiAJXN—s—s—s
SEARCH FOR AVIATORS Determined Effort Being Made To Locate Three Youth* Who Have Been Missing Since July 27. Chicago. HI.. Aug. 15—By land and water and through the oir a deter- ■ mined search was started today for three young aviators yho have been missing since they hopped oft from Chicago. July 27, with Detroit their objective. The missing flyers are Morris Gathercoat, Earl Ranker, and Eugene Cottelier, I After a week's disappearance, i search for the young aviators was virtually abandoned until today when Gathercoat's father, Dr. E. M. Gathercoat, a professor in the University of Illinois school of pharmacy, announced he would resume the hunt. “My son and the others must be in the lake". Doctor Gathercoat said. "But we will never give up until this terrible mystery is solved one way or the other. If they did fail into the lake as I'm practically positive they did, perhaps we may bj> so fortunate as to recover their bodies. An airplane a motor boat and two utoinobiles were put into service to day in the search. The one hope that the three aviators did not fall Into the Lake resulted from a statement one of them made before hopping off. "Our plan is of an obsolete type and might go back on us, so we 11 stick to the land route” one of the young men said. Coast guard crews and regular plying steamers who have been on watch for the flyers have reported no trace of them on the Great Lakes. Young Gathercoat graduated as a flying cadet at Kelly field, Texas March 14, 1925.
