OUR GREATEST ASSET:— The success ot Decatur's unseen future lies largely in the hands of its j boys and girls. Os course Decatur has no boy or girl problem, but we

have a man and woman problem because boys and girls of today are going to be the men and women or tomorrow that the fathers and mothers of today make them. If the greatness of Decatur, or any other civic unit for that matter—is entirely dependent upon the people who make up its citizenry, then it follows that its greatest asset is bound to be its boys and girls, who will bo the citizens of the future. The period when real character and citizenship is built is during leisure hours. These times are also the greatest hazards in the life of children, therefore your children’s success or failure in life will depend largely on how they spend their spare time. The average child spends a little over 3.000 hours in bed, a little less than 1,000 hours at school, from 100 to 200 in church, about 1,500 hours at home for meals, chores, etc., which leaves 3.000 hours per year or onethird of the time for leisure. During the age of adolescency, twelve to eighteen, the youth’s burden is shifting. Naturally these are the years of great moral importance; thesg are the years when youth needs the help of maturity for his balancing. A weak character will go down under the burden, a strong character will draw strength unto his strength and as one would expect, these are the years from which crime and religion alike recruit the largest number. Unorganized influences are educating the youth over more hours than do the church, home and school. The city, county or nation cannot ignore one-third of the child's life and expect him or her by accident to do the right things which lead to character. Personal attention to the present generation is the greatest need for most delinquents are not wayward but wayless. Children need more formatory and less reformatory correction. Mr. Paul Schulte, the Chicago man who is financing the development of a Blue Creek township oil territory ami who is without much fussing around building one of the finest country clubs in this section of the country, just south of this city, called on us yesterday and we found him a very pleasant, unassuming gentleman who impressed us as one who knows just what he is doing and why and how. He will proceed with the work as rapidly as possible and Mr. Telfort who is in charge ot the work here assures us that by the middle of summer we will have a very attractive golf course. Its fine news to our folks who appreciate it and when called upon will give their full share i of support. The big top for the Better Homes exposition which opens here Monday arrived today and the stir of preparation will begin tomorrow. There are a lot ot features that could be told about but its better to keep them to surprise you with. Suffice that you will have a good time it you attend this event and every evening will be a good one, a little better than the night before. The Babson company, which gathers statistics on about everything in the world, says that during periods

They continue in these ways until adversity overtakes them and then they turn to the churches again. There they imbibe honesty, thrift and industry aud once more head for prosperity. Babson says the greatest enemy to business is lack of Sunday observance and lack of religion in the home.

Judge Alton Brooks Barker, well known New York lawyer, democratic leader and in 1904 the nominee sot president, died suddenly yesterday afternoon while driving through Cent ral park in New York, enroute to his country home. Mr. Parker was a native of the Empire state, served as judge of the supreme court and as chief justice. He was recognized as one of the nation's greatest lawyers and thinkers and for many years has been prominent in politics. He was seventy-four years of age. Take a drive around Decatur and notice that the prediction made several months ago that a number of new homes would be built here, is coming true. At least twenty houses are now under construction and it is the belief of many that from fifty to one hundred will be erected within the year, a fine show of progress and growth. Cleaning up and painting up and fixing up are important at this time of the year. And we are proud of the fact that everybody here is doing it. Wonder if its safe to use up the last two or three pounds of coal or whether we will need it worse in a week or two. ■' 'O ——.
