Ralston was among others in attendance upon the legislature who lobbied to defeat Senate Bill 105. Mr. Ralston addressed the News the following communication which is self explanatory: “February 17, 1911. “Editor of Indianapolis News: "During the past few years, your paper has frequently contained statements pertaining to me that were calculated to prejudice me in the eyes of the public, but I never asked you to correct any of them because I had reason to believe they were made with full knowledge of their falsity and with the deJiberate purpose of doing me an injustice. Your issue of today contains a similar statement but I cannot allow it to go unchallenged. I desire its correction. You charge that on yesterday I was one among 'others in attendance upon the legislature who lobbied to defeat Senate bill 105. This 1 deny. I have never

spoken an unfriendly word of said bill to any man. I have never discussed this bill with any member of the legislature nor asked any other man to do so nor put any influence of any character whatsoever at work against It. "I can add in this connection that 1 never in my life appeared as a lobbyist In any legislature for any corporation: nor have I ever at any time either attempted to secure any legislation in the interest of any corporation and any statement or insinuation designed to create the impression that 1 have is an unmitigated falsehood. If you desire to do the fair thing by me in this instance you will publish this statement. Respectfully yours, "8. M. RALTSON.” NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE BY TRUSTEES.

If I can do a kindly act, or think a noble thought; i't I may offer just a word, or a pleasant little smile; if just a nod will be but given and given in brotherly kindness—then at eventide I can lie down with the sweet satisfaction of having broadened, and having pleased my Father in heaven. — Howard J. Wisehaupt, in “The Watchword." * • * The above bright little "Morning Thought," the off-spring of the heart and brain of Howard J. Wisehaupt of this city, will on next Sunday morning be read in the 42.000 homes into which "The Watchword” the official paper of the United Brethren church, goes. “The Watchword” js a bright little church magazine, printed at Dayton, Ohio, and is used in many United Brethren Sunday schools, including the school of the local church, in the place of the erstwhile old-fashioned single “Sunday school sheets." The “Morning Thought” is one that was given recently by Howard in one of his talks in church and was found so helpful that some one, unknown to him, sent it to “The Watchword” where it was accepted and was published in this week's edition, which is already out, but will not be generally distributed until next Sunday.

The Zerkle triplets—Frances, Ruth and Esther—celebrated their sixteenth birthday anniversary at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Zerk. le, southeast of the city by entertaining a company of friends at supper, after which the remainder of the evening was spent in games, music and a regular old-fashioned taffy-pulling. Those present were Jeff G. Crum of near Honduras. William J. Bell of near Craigville, who is an uncle of the triplets; Neva and Kenneth Zerkle, Leonard Liby of this city, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Smith of Monroe, rural route No. 2. The Menu-ates, with Sylvia Eaton and Miss Ada Donaldson of Warsaw guests, were entertained Wednesday afternoon by Miss Edna Hoffman. The needlework of the afternoon was laid aside at 5:30 o’clock for the tempting luncheon served. Little red cherries crowning the cake added the Washington patriotic touch most appropriately. Following the luncheon the company went to the opera house to attend the Landon entertainment. The dance at the C. B. L. of I. hall Wednesday evening was well attenned and it was one of the happiest occasions enjoyed by the members and their friends for some time. Excellent music was furnished during the evening by Bernard Wertzberger and John Wemhoff, and was much enjoyed by all. Don’t forget the dance and box social to be given on next Tuesday night, February 28th, at the Young Men’s Social club. This event is being looked forward to by the young folks as a prominent affair. All are invited to attend and a large crowd will no doubt be present. The Pochahontas lodge is arranging for a pleasant little social time this evening that promises to be one of unusual enjoyment.
