A GREAT PROGRAM Was Rendered and the Three Course Luncheon Just as Great

The first anniversary, an all im- | portant event In the history of the Decatur Knights and Esquires of the Holy Grail, was duly celebrated at the church parlors of the M. E. church Thursday and ft can safely be said that It was the most brilliant event of its nature ever pulled off wihin the boundaries of our city. It was a feast of oratory and humor and the awe stricken visitors who were not apprised of the talent that characterizes the boys of this organization,were agreeably surprised to hear their well prepared and ably executed addresses. During the course of the preceding day a corps of church ladies, assisted by J Dr. Wilcox, arranged tables in the spacious lecture room in pretty style and provisions were mad© to seat ninety-six people At 8:45 the boys of the Grail and their friends were comfortably seated at tables 1 upon which was arranged bouquets of beautiful flowers. It was a soul inspiring scene to see the typical young Amer-

In

leans who are engaging in the noble work of this organization assembled not only to bestow honor upon their order, but to pay their respects to the Almighty, and as Dr. Wilcox offered a prayer, in opening the program, every head was bowed. Herald Wilcox, a Sir Knight was announced as toastmaster and he was placed in control of the session. Previous to this, however, the news had percolated through the parlors to the effect that a guest from Germany was ex peered at any moment and to the astonishment and merriment of all, a peculiar looking personage bearing all the characteristics of a typical German, made his appearance, carrying a grip of unique appearance. Vociferous applause fairly shook the structure as the young man. later proven to be Ben Beavers, submittd to several introductions and then the ladies who had charge of the banquet who wer e Mesdames B. J. Rice, C. B. Wilcox, Ella Bell, J. W. Vail, D. Sprang, Jonas Tritch, D. W. Beery and John Rex served the first course consisting of sandwiches, potato chips, olives and coffee. The large assemblage soon did justice to these delicacies after which Toastmaster Wilcox gave the opening address In substance bls talk was as follows: One year ago this month an organization which was destined to undergo unprecedented progress was launched on the social horizon of Decatur. This order, the Holy Grail, composed of energetic, worthy and God-fearing young men have spent the first year of their organized existence in doing good. We feel that our real object has been attained and the influence of our work will be everlasting. We have assembled tonight to Celebrate our first anniversary and I will take pleasure In introducing the most high Sir Knight Baumgartner, who will give facts in regard to the Holy Grail order. Mr. Baumgartner responded in a strikingly appropriate manner, revealing facts of interest to every hearer. Tom McKean was next introduced and in a well prepared talk he dwelt on the subject ‘‘The Boy and , His Country.” ‘‘Grail stands for true patriotism” he began, unselfish love for girls and thein country, peace, loyalty, honesty and friendship.’ Long may this order live. Th e second course consisting of salad, wafers and salted peanuts was then gracefully served by the ladies and although th° elaborateness of the two courses hat amply satisfied the hunger of the guests who had not even eaten supper, to make room for the good things they knew was coming, it was hinted that still another course was forthcoming. Toastmaster Wilcox, intermingling humor with startling facts about the once great Edmund Burke, a renowned orator and statesman, after stating that the Decatur castle had a Burke even more promising than he, , introduced Don L. Burke, who followed with one of the most masterly ,

talks which ever emanated from the lips of a Decatur youth. He is deserving of commendation for the remarkable knowledge he possesses for a boy of fifteen. “Ideals of Youth furnished his subject and many thought provoking assertions were made by the young man. Howard Wisehaupt was then Introduced as the ladies’ man and irremissive as he was to the toastmaster for the unkind assertion in the presence of his lady friend, the young man addressed the ladies in a manner which touched the hearts of his every feminine hearer, as well as the gentlemen and he closd his flow of oratory by the assertion “Oh, if all womankind had but one rosy mouth that I could kiss them all at once.” Laughter and applause was evoked by the witty sayings of W. Wisehaupt!. Mrs. Ella Bell and Miss Grace McKean followed with a beautiful instrumental duet,

and they responded to an encore. Mrs. C. B. Wilcox then rendered a vocal solo which Indeed was great. Loud and constant applause promptel the second selection which appealed very favorably to all present. The third course consisting of ice cream and cake was then served after which Dr Wilcox addressed the Grails in

an impressive manner. Ben Beavers, the German comedian, gave a humorous toast during the course of the evening and all in all it was the most brilliant event ever enjoyed by Decatur people. Don Burke with Miss Grace McKean as accompanist, executd cleverly a beautiful violin solo and responded to an encore. The sophomore quartet rendered two well appreciated selections. That the Grail may live and prosper is the sincere wish of all Decatur. The Grail was instituted here one year ago the twenty-fourth day of this month. The officers of the Knights are Messrs. Clyde Baumgartner. Ben Beavers, Howard Wisehaupt, Don Burke. Tom McKean, Will Conrad and Frank Mills, and the officers of the Esquires are Gregg Neptune Dan Tyndall, Donald Vancil, Forrest Vail, Rex Sowle and Glen Tague. There are twentysix Knights and twenty-fiv e Esquires. The boys leave August 18 for a ten days’ outing at Winona. — — A DELIGHTFUL TRIP

Will Visit England, France and Germany About Two Months Fred Joebker, the popular, handsome, clever, capable head bookkeeper at the First National bank, will pack ■his grip this week and leave Saturday for New York, from where he will sail on the Monday following for Europe on a two months’ trip of sight seeing and visiting. He will enjoy a few days as a guest of relatives in various parts of Germany, will see London, do Paris and visit all the other places of main interest in the famous countries of that part of the old world. A part of his trip at least will be made in company with people from this part of the country as several from Van Wert and other places near here are arranging similar trips and Fred expects to join them about the time he begins to get lonely. He also has an appointment with John M, Frlsinger, the horesman and will likely return on the same boat with him. During his years of service at the First National, he has been faithful and this vocation with so delightful a trip, is well deserved by him. *■ ■ o FIRST RIDE ON A TRAIN.

The program as arranged for last evening was of unusual interest and notwithstanding th e fact that Dr. E. G. Coverdale and P B.

THE LOCK JAW GERM. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, has declared war on the lockjay germ which thrives in the dust of the streets and pounceth upon the Independence day 1 celebrator wotteth not. In other words, Dr. Hurty will try to warn the 'people of the state of the dangers of an insane and unsafe Fourth. He is not a strong advocate of the motto “let the children have a good time.” He believes hey should have a good time, but they should not be permitted to kill themselves, he thinks, merely because their forefathers fought successfully for national independence, although this was undoubtedly a verypraiseworthy feat. Dr. Hurty has just prepared a pamphlet, copies of which will be distributed to health officers over the state before July 4. The heading of the pamphlet is “The Glorious Fourth of July and It's Lockjaw.” It goes into detail explaining the habital and predominant characteristics of the lockjaw germ.

Washington, June 23—Th e republican congressional campaign book will be out unusually early this year, probably six weeks sooner than it was issued four years ago. The proofs are practically corrected up to date on such matter as can be handled before the democratic convention meets. It is always customary to reserve part of the book for comment on th e action of the democratic convention and to include the democratic platform for the information of campaign speakers. The book will follow closely the lines of th e last campaign book, except that some nw issues will be introduced and others that have ceased to be of interest will be dropped out. Considerable space will be devoted to the question of injunctions.
