After the presentation of the subsidy petition and the date of election is named by the board of commissioners, then the issues will be raised and our people will thoroughly discuss the giving of the right-of-way for the southern extension of the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway. To the average layman at this time it not only looks fair, but it looks right to encourage this public enterprise to this extent Then if it is right - to help ! them, every one should share alike in 1 rendering this financial aid, and the taxation method is the only fair and square method. The tax on each individual would be so small that no one will know they are helping in this public enterprise.

WILL GIVE CREDIT Fort Wayne Business College Will Recognize Work Done Here IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL Jonas Tritch Made Arrangements to That Effect Today Jonas Tritch, who has charge of the commercial department of the Decatur high school, made a special trip to Fort Wayne today where he conferred with the management of the International Business Cololdge for the purpose of arranging so that students in the Decatur high school who take commercial work will be given credit for same in entering their school. Our commercial department consists of a three year’s course, three isemestters, bookkeeping and three semesters of work in shorthand and typewriting. This, in connection with the work in commercial law, commercial arithmetic and business correspondence makes an unusually good course and should appeal to every student of the schools. The same means a great saving of money for students who care to graduate from high school before taking up work byway of industrial training. The l above mentioned course has been met ■with favor by the business college management and hereafter students! from our school will be given credit' for work done here before entering the Fort Wayne college. Mr. Tritch is doing much in making the com-1 mercial course better each year and much credit is due him for the advancement he has made thus far. The project of giving commercial

course at night next year is being talked of, although no decision in this matter has as yet been reached. NOTICE OF FUNERAL.
