At Methodist Church This Evening by May Cum-niiky Bliss. May Cummisky Bliss has arrived In the city and this evening will lecture on "Mormonism a Menace to the United States.” She comes under the auspices of the Woman's Home Mis- j sionary society and the lecture will be In the Methodist church at 7:30. o’clock. Admission, 25 cents. Mrs. Bliss has made a special study of . Mormonism from its various stand- ‘ points, and will discuss it thoroughly. Everybody is given a cordial Invitation to attend. Giving a list of ten facts concerning Mormonism, she says: Do you know: That Mormonism is a menace to this country? That the Mormon hierarchy has absolute control of seven western states? That unless you adopt offensive tactics you will soon have to fight de-, fensively? | That the Mormon church teaches treason? I That the Mormon “prophets” have consecrated this republic to destruction That polygamy is taught and praa-, tlced by the Mormons today? That the Salt Lake Tribune recent-' ly published an authentic list of 230 known NEW cases of polygamy? That this ugly ulcer menaces your, own fireside? That your daughter is in imminent danger? That you are asleep while this seething volcano of ignorance and degradation is smoldering beneath the very foundation of your home, and threatening to pour out its filthy, poisonous lava at a moment’s notice? That it is YOUR duty to help wipe this scourge—this parasital hierarchy —from the face of our fair land? o A jolly good time was spent Sun- , day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Geier. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. John Barrone, Mr. and Mrs. Henry King of Rockford, Ohio; Miss Ethel Putman, Miss Jennie King, Rockford, Ohio; Miss Bertha Barrone, Miss Etta , Crasher, Glenmore, Ohio; Miss Bar - rone, Miss Madeline Geilr, Miss | Gladys Welker, Messrs. Dick Welker. Earl Tumbleson, Clyde Dull of Glenmore, Ohio; Loraine King and Arthur Barrone. [ - n-, 1 At the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Barrone a dinner was given sot ; Mr. Barrone’s mother, it being her eighty-fourth, birthday. The guests, were Mr. and Mrs. John Barrone, Mrs Frank Schnepp, Mrs. Vai Schnepp, j. Miss Bertha Barrone, Miss Ina Barrone, Messrs, Arthur and Floyd Bar-, rone. The Helping Hand society is busy . this afternoon at the German Reformed Sunday school room, with their bonnet and apron making. Mrs. Fred Merer is hostess. A look at the latest fashion rnaga-1 zine shows a return of the "bangs ’ j mode of hair dressing. The picture was shown in connection with the la-1 test neck-dressing modes from Paris , The "bang” shows only a very thin fringe in the middle of the forehead, on either side of which is the hair , waved back at the sides of the head. After all is said and done the much- 1

abused "bang” I* nearly as pretty t* ,a man’s goatee, or the little fringe of whiskers under his chin from ear to ear. I The wedding of Charles Lose and Miss Kathryn Krlegel will he solemnized next Thursday morning at the Catholic church at Celina, Ohio. The Misses Agnes Meibers, Marie and Letta Kintz, Margaret Clark and Miss Mackey enjoyed an early morning walk today to a point near Monmouth, where they breakfasted. They gathered sticks and driftwood along tie- way and on arrivivng at their des-' tination, had a nice little heap ready ’ to light. They soon had a pot of water boiling merrily over the fire for the making of coffee. The lunch eat-' en in the crisp, cool morning air aft-! er the walk never tasted so good to' mortals. The Kintz pony and cart conveyed some of the girls and the! breakfast, the greater number walking. George Miller, son of Martin Miller lot' West Monroe street .happily entertained the members of his Sunday ! school class of the Gennan Reform- <. d church last evening, games, conversation and music furnishing a delightful time, I One of the merriest reunions of the high school class of 1913, before the ' members separate in a few weeks to each go his way through life, was the party given last evening by Miss Reba Quinn, at the homo of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. French Quinn. With the thirty-five members of the class were five teachers—the Misses Williams, IFrisinger, Dugan, Sutton and Schrock. The colors of purple and gold effectively used in the decorations, pro- . claimed the affair dedicated strictly to the high school. Dainty lilacs added their beauty and fragrance, and large purple and gold spider webs here and 'there in the three living rooms added mystery as well as beauty. Not until the first general mingling was well under way was the nature of the spider webs known. The boys were then itold to go upstairs, where they found a similar maze created by Mr. Spider, these webs being formed by the other ends of the cords used in making the webs down stairs, which were given over to the girls. Each took the end o fa cord and began to wind, the girls winding up toward the stairs and the boys, down. Those meeting, were partners for the stroll that was the very delightful feature of the entertainment. The evening was an ideal -one for the stroll, and each couple made the endeavor to walk as many blocks as possible in ten minutes. The [route was given over to the tossing of a penny at each street corner. If ' the head came up, the turn was to the ■ right; if the tail, the turn to the left was made. On returning to the Quinn home the rest of the evening was given over to general amusements. In a confectionery contest, Robert Peterson won the honors which materialized in a prize box of bonbons. The i class colors of old rose and steel were 'prettily manifest in the luncheon nicely served in two courses by two little (maidens, Gladys Flanders and Fanny Heller. Just before the happy party separated, a confetti shower in old (rose and steel colors was given as a surprise. In the center of the entrance room hung a large double pennant, in the folds of which the confetti was hidden. When the happy band gathered under its folds, the string was pulled at the opportune time and the pretty shower fell. Miss Anola Frank was a charming hostess to a number of young ladles. Some of them came in humorous costume and this feature added to the interest. Then there were many contests and games and music to pass the hours merrily. In a cherry contest. Miss Lucy McCrory carried off the honors, and in an .“a b, c” contest, Miss Lydia Bieneke proved the most expert. Luncheon in three courses was partaken of picnic fashion, and was very tempting. Pink and white, the colors of the B. F. S. I club, of which many of the guests are members, were carried out in the apple blossoms used in the decorations, and lilacs, which are also at their prettiest were also used with good effect. The’guests were the Misses Jeanette 1 Kinney, Lucy McCrory, Muriel Leonjard, Gladys Selman, Mae Babcock Vera Hunsicker, Ada Stevens, Mabel Corbett, Abbie Bigham, Mane Ball. Caroline Gerber. Gertrude Butler, Etola Gentis, Geraldine Cross, Edna Steele. Mrs Joe Rumschlag had as her guests for 12 o’clock dinner Tuesday, Mrs. Frank Rumschlag and the Misses Tressle and Caroline Brakeman. I Mr and Mrs. Frank Rumschlag entertained a company of [young people last evening. A ve.y [good time is reported. Fascinated with the study of geography in his childhood days, and augmenting this with reading year by

year u he grew older, A. J. Smith,' who has just returned from a visit to I . the western coast and to the Sand-1 wich Islands, is nevertheless convinced that "the half has not been told.” ' He gleaned some very interesting things on his journey that can only come from an intimate personal communion with nature In these places. Mr. and Mrs. Smith returned Wed- ( nesday afternoon late from their long trip, and Thursday afternoon, after a very brief rest, Mr. Smith consented to an interview, by representatives ■of the local newspapers. Indiana had not yet entered under the reign of the king of spring, when on March 5, Mr. and Mrs. Smith began their trip, and arrived a few days later in the land of sunshine —Los Angeles, California. But how different (that fair city was from that of two years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Smith ; made an extended visit in the southwest While this year was still new, heavy frosts laid their blighting power upon the luxuriant vegetation there, and not, only ruined the orange and lemon , crop for this year, which was just I nearing perfection, but in many cases killed thetrees, and the blossoms for thia year, rendering them absolutely worthless. No one unless actually vls- , iting the scene can get an accurate conception of the loss, which In fact cannot be estimated. Information on the real condition has been suppressj ; ed by the newspapers, and while pai pers there brought great waves of , flood news (they were there during the ■ floods) very little was said about their • own frost damage there, which was . equally disastrous, as far as money was concerned. The lemons suffered more than the oranges. Thousands of • rnshels of oranges frozen on the trees were gathered, and could be seen I piled up on the grounds, a total waste. One orange grove, two years old, I'was entirely killed. Mr. Smit htalked I with one Adams county man, who is a -■ heavy sufferer from orange orchard I damage, who stated his loss this year would be $5,000. i Ornamental pepper trees, which line I the driveways for a distance of threequarters'of a mile, are singed and lik- • ened to dead trees in looks. The Eu- . calyptus trees, whose wood is much , used for furniture ,and which when I cut down sprouts up and grows to . maturity again in only a few years, . have their foliage singed as though . they had passed through a forest fire. , Many of the oranges that escaped the frost, were lost. The best frnlt I was shipped. In Chicago when the > boxes were examined, even though the boxes contained only one or two of . the damaged fruit, the whole box was , condemned and a bill for freight sent ’ the shipper, who lost all. The ci’i- , zens do not like to hear of the dlsaster and newspapers contain very little Jof It. Mr. Smith does not advise any one 1 to go there from here to make their ' home or to stay unless they have plenty of money, and go there simply for a “ visit or to enjoy the climate. One “ millionaire of Los Angeles said: “The ' best crops we get here are tourists.” ’ The city, however, Is growing wonderfully. '! While there Mr. and Mrs. Smith met I many former Adams county people. II Among these were M. Burns and famjily, Jerry Coffee, John and Fred Milder, Lane McConnell and Miss Jessie McLean. He also went to the soldiers’ ’ home and called on L. C. Wagoner. ‘ They left Los Angeles March 27 and ’ went to Santa Barbara, and called on Otto Haubold and his wife, Carrie I Thomas Haubold, and family, who are : preparing to come back here. Visiting -!other points enroute they arrived at J San Francisco March 28 and on March i 29 set sail on the steamship Siberia i 'for the Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands, i i These lie 2,100 miles from San Fran.l cisco, and it takes from six to eight - days to make the trip. Their large i boat made the trip in six days. On . their return trip they took the steam--11 ship. The Mongolia. The trips were • fine both ways, except the last day cf ; I the return trip, when they struck a rough sea. , I Their boat had 1,052 second-class - and steerage passengers and 270 first--class passengers. When the steamship landed, they bad ono more passenger than when J they left, as a baby had been born on . board the ship, to a Portuguese mother ! and father, steerage passengers. A i collection was taken among the passengers for the little arrival, and as no one gave less than fifty cents the i little one received such an amount that its start in life will be better than the average one placed in more . fortunate general circumstances. The boats were very crowded and the steamship accommodations were very inadequate. Many were unable to leave the island on the big boats and had to wait for the smaller ones. Many of the boats were filled with passengers before arrival at the islands, and visitors there should book pas-i sage In advance of the boat’s arrival. The fair harbor of Honolulu, the capital city of the Islands, and located ( on the island of Oahu, dawned into view April 4. On arrival there, they

_ . found It a city of 60,000 Inhabitant*. Like many of the tropical cltle*, the (street* are narrow, but beautiful, especially the residence portion. Waikiki beach, the flneet in the world for ' surf-bathing, often has from fifty to i 400 or 500 bathers. They visited ill 1 part* of the city, and toured the Island ( In a seven-passenger touring car. Besides Oahu, the island on which Honolulu is located, they also visited many Others of the group of eight islands J These are of volcanic origin and many j volcanos still exist. In fact the larg-• est active volcano In the world Is In {Hawaii. They visited the volcanos,! toasted postcards over the red hot la a and going down into the pits, reached in and pulled away hot chunks of sul-1 phur. In many instances, visitors. made coffee for their lunches by heat-1 ing water in the crevices. The most Interesting study to Mr. Smith was that of the growing of sugar cane and pineapples. Fully •eighty per cent of the land is given over to the growing of sugar .cane, from which there is an output of more than a half million tons of sugar. All of the cane on the island •of Oahu is raised on irrigated land. On ; (the island of Hawaii the rainfall Is great and only one side of the island is irrigated. Mr. Smith visited one ■ lof the largest sugar factories and took i(down some interesting facts. They ;| grind sixty tons of cane an hour and 'every twenty-four hours turn out 290 (tons of sugar. The sugar cane contains frem twelve to fifteen per cent of '■sugar which is about what our sugar beets contain. Ninety per cent of the • output is shipped as raw material to 11 Philadelphia for refining, thus saving the duty on refined sugar. The rest is I' sent to California for refining. About t'3,500 people are employed at this sac--1 |tory. They have over 20,000 acres of I sugar cane under cultivation, all land . being leased from large land owners. . Only one Chinaman is growing cane I'on his own land. A railroad system, i on the narrow gauge plan, with small I I cars, is used in getting the cane to the '' factory. The labor is done largely by I Portuguese, Chinamen and Japanese, > The superintendents’ office foice ' are largely American from the states. From Its reservoir, for ' one irrigation, this factory used 72,I 000-000 gallons of water. I I A laborer in the field is paid about ’ I twenty-four dollars a month, but he ’ is given free house rent —which in a ' | tropical country is not much —free medical attention and free text books , for the school children, so that their wages are considered very good. J It takes from eighteen to twenty , months for a crop of cane to mature. ‘ The best results are gotten from com- ’ mercial fertilizers at S3O an acre. Each acre yields about sixty tons. 1 The acreage devoted to the cultivation of the pineapple is growing rapidly, as the finest pineapples in the | world are grown here. The large > fields of this fruit, kept clean as our r own beet fields here —clean as a gar- - den —are very beautiful to see. 1 In the island of Oahu, Mr. Smith j visited one pineapple plantation of 800 5 acres. The owner said the demand ' was so great that he has already sold - all his crops up to the year 1916. The sum received per ton is $22 and from t ten to twenty tons of pineapples per . acre are produced. Unlike the sugar -[cane, a crop is gotten every year. - {While many of the canning factoroes tlarb open earlier, the real season for \pineapples opens by June 1. Rice culture is also quite good in 1 Aahu. This is grown by the China--1 man in a very primitive way, continui ing the mode of a hundred years or so 5 ago. Water buffaloes are used in the ; work, and for the threshing the old t tread or flail system is used, large 1 threshing floors of cement being built i before each Chinaman's home. This is carried to Honolulu to mar- - ket. While out driving one day, Mr. t Smith met twenty-five mules, each of > which had two large sacks of rice 1 slung across his back. By the way the driveways are exceedingly beautiful. For great distances the Royal Palm, with its long 1 I white trunk, spreaking at the top into ‘a feathery green, line the way. In--1 side this avenue, on either side are ■ hibiscus hedges, with their red blossoms. ’ The Bougauvillea vine, which grows 1 some twenty feet high, climbing into 1 trees and spreading out its blossoms ' of purple, red and pink, are very beau- • tiful. The night-blooming cereus ■'grows also in great profusion. li Bananas are quite plentiful. When 1 one bunch grows from the straight, ■ bare stock, another is growing forth '.from another stalk beneath, ready to 1 take its place when the other has ! matured and is cut. All bananas are 1 gathered when partially green, as the ' birds would take them otherwise. ' Many bananas grow along the high-

The fruit is like a muskmelon in looks and tastes like, [and I* eaten as we do the muskmelon, .with pepper and salt. It I* in great demand at the hotels and much relished. It Is also very wholesome, containing much pepsin. I Many cocoanut trees also abound in ■the city of Honolulu. Hotels In Honolulu are A Number One. The Waikiki beech hotel and the Moana hotel are good, but the best in the city is the Alexander Young, which is one square long. On the fifth floor it has a fine large roof garden. I Mr. Smith visited the legislature while It was tn session. Like ours, all talks are required to be given in English. As many of the legislators are natives who cannot speak english an 'interpreter Is necessary, A spaker says a sentence or two, then rests. The interpreter then translates it into the native language, and the native asks anything he wishes, which is again interpreted so the English speakers can understand it. While in the city, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and party had the pleasure of a visit with the ex-queen, Lllluokani, who was deposed in 1893. She is now seventy-three years of age, and lives in her large palace which she maintained while queen. Her son is working in the court house there. He is a Mason, ap was one of the members of the Smith party. The two Masons entered into a friendly chat, and the . American man asked the ex-prince if his mother ever received tourist visitors, He replied that she did so on 'rare occasions. He stated he would ar- • range a reception if possible for the [ Smith party, and would telephone to them that evening if such could be ( effected. He did so informing them that the queen would be at home to [ them on the following morning at 11 o’clock. They spent a delightful hour . with her and also met her daughter-in-law. Though aged, the exqueen, { whois anative Hawaiann, retains her mental faculties, and as she is quite ' cultured, is very interesting to meet. ’ She was educated at Smith college, ■ near Boston. I The United States pays her an an- : nuity of $20,000, which enables her to ’ live quite well, and maintain her dei posed dignity. The palace is magnifi- > (cent, has fine grounds, and is nicely 1 furnished. ' I The experimental station is of interest. and profit, and the Hawaiian col- ’' lege a fine one, with new up-to-date • buildings. The party met the presi- ' dent. Professor Griffith, and wife, and 1 were shown over the college. , I Mr. Smith brought with him many ' fine views of the places they visited. —o ' While the commencement proper ’ will not be held until two weeks from '[this evening, the real good-byes to -'school life were said Thursday after'noon by the thirty-five seniors of the 'I Decatur high school, when they con- ) ducted the last song and piano service. I Every Tuesday and Thursday afterI I noons during the school year had been ’ given overto music and Thursday's ‘[was in charge of the seniors for the ' {last time. Gladys Graham and Lulu r jAtz gave a piano duet; Irvin Merry a piano solo; Ruth Patterson a vocal ’[solo; Reba Quinn and Lillian Rice a r pitno duet. The exercises closed with the singing of the class song, the 1 words of which were composed and set - to the notes of a musical number by Ir- ’ vin Merry. This was followed by the ‘ class yells. The halls will long echo ’ with the memory of the seniors. This 1 evening they were formally excused • from further study, that they may 1 have the two weeks following, to prepare for the commencement. This ■ will be busy time as there will be the • practice for the class plays, the numf erous social functions in the mean- ’ time, and the getting ready of the [mind and the garments for the com’.mencement proper. ’ | This evening Professor E. E. Rice : [will entertain the class at a party. An- ’ other of next week will be that of ' | Robert Peterson, who has invited the ’ class to be his guests at the spacious ■'home of his grandparents, Mr. and {.Mrs. J. D. Ha’e. I . a ( I ,! Joseph Pease, a member of the .: hardware firm of Pease and Green at I Geneva, had a perilous toboggan in a j Ford automobile Wednesday evening, I I says an exchange, when, for reasons ( (beyound his control he left the high-: J way south of Geneva and shot down , the seep embankment along a creek !; tributary to the Wabash river, and . stopped only after the machine landed lin water that submerged it. Fortunately, when he came to the washout in the highway, Mr. Pease feared that j there might be some mishap and he ! had members of his family to get out (of the machine while he negotiated the job of steering his Ford machine (across, the bad place. When midway of the washout a wheel struck a rut and Mr. Pease lost control and the next instant found himself and machine headed for the creek. Mr. Pease managed to swim to the bank of the

It was expressed before the Naj tional Association for the Prevention ! and Cure of Tuberculosis, in session here by Dr. J. F. Anderson, federal investigator. "We believe at present ’ that we are not in the position to ex-1 1 press an opinion based upon the recent 1 condition of patients under observation” The report was a frank admission that beyond discussion the Friedmann treatment is an "acid organism having properties very different than 1 those of any other bacilla.

Mr. Seal was first struck by the train and thrown against Mr. Scheimann on the platform, who in turn by the shock of Mr. Seal’s fall 1 was thrown under the train, where he was cut to pieces. Mr. Seal was very badly hurt and has not yet fully recov-

ered from the accident, one of his arms being disabled yet. It is said both arms were covered entirely with bruises and his clothing torn from his body in shreds. In spite of his terrible suffering at the time, he took the i precaution to save his wife from i alarm, their youngest child, being at I that time a babe only four weeks of age. With the help of others he managed to place himself at thetelephone where he himself telephoned the particulars, that the details, given in ’.iis own voice, might not alarm her. The shock and sorrow he sustained over the unfortunate part be played in the accident are great. It is said that Mrs. Scheimann has ' all grounds to recover damages from the railroad company, but as she is adverse to litigation she does not wish to begin suit. It is said the platform between the railroads at the scene of the accident was only four feet wide, whereas it should have been eight; and that the train which caused the far tai accident was going far beyond the speed limit. Mr. Blong and son of the Cincinnati commission house, were also business visitors in the city. 0 ( The game billed for Sunday will be between the Fort Wayne Senecas, one of the fastest independent teams of Ft. Wayne, and the local Shamrocks. During last season the Senecas defeated the Shamrocks with a heavy score, but the local boys are in better condition this year than ever before, having strengthened up their weak places wonderfully and with much practice have worked up to the position where it is almost an assured fact that the result of Sunday’s game will be greatly in favor of the locals. Johns will be placed in the box to do the twirling for the Shamrocks and Ault will do the catching.
