The song of the early bird is sweeter than that of the night hawk. C. I). Lewton was looking after business affairs south of the city today. A woman doesn't think so much of the men after marrying one as she did before. A woman seldom hears a piece of gossip ahead of a man, but a man doesnot call it gossip. A man thinks be has a good wife if she ‘'..liiKs he is about the finest piece of male humanity that ever happened. John Schug returned this afternoon J from Berne, his attention to business matters there being necessary between trains. "Feed your cows sweets,” says a Wisconsin dairyman, “it will do them good”. Give us a little more taffy like that and we will try it. Attorneys John C. Moran and C. J i Lutz were at Indianapolis today attending to some business matters and I shaking hands with their friends ' about the capital. Mr. and Mrs. George Wood of near Wren.

Recovery, Ohio, who has been taking eye treatment, at Fort Wayne for three weeks past, stopped In the city yesterday for a brief visit with his grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Peter Forbing, on his way home. The man who can, while walking the floor with a howling kid at 2 a. m., step on the business end of a tack without ruffing his temper, hasn’t energy enough in his makeup to ever amount to a row of pins. i A New York army surgeon says that blondes and persons of fair complexion are more apt to become inmates of . asylums for the insane than brunettes. Another medical authority shows that brunettes are the most susceptible. Both of the experts must be crazy. I A boarding house romance at AlI bany, N. Y., has culminated in the I marriage of the landlady, Miss Eliza- | beth Greer, aged fifty-five, and her I boarder, Edward-Bowerman.-a wealthy i retired business man of ninety-two years of age. Mr. Bowerman can coni j sole himself that he will not have I! many more years to put up with boardj ing house prunes.

OVERLAND The Comfortable Overland Throws the Fields and the Country Wide Open to You The Overland Is F*ra<?ti<?ally £i Lser-Made Car Why does the Overland immediately and continuously please its user? The explanation is a good deal like the verse in, Mary and her lamb, where the children all ask; Why, does the lamb love Mary so, and the teacher replies, Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know. (There'is undoubtedly a mutual confidence between the Overland Car and its user. The Overland Car is a good deal like the American government was intended to be-of the people, for the people, and by the people. It is a user made car, that is, it is designed with the expressed wishes l o f the public ?s the constant guide of its design. In its lines, its construction, its motor, its comfort, its conveniences, even in the way it is sold, it answers the wishes of users. Anybody can talk technicalities, we might ourselves in this advertisement but what’s the us? People who know automobiles don’t need technicalities those who do not know' automobiles aie generally merely confused by them. But we want to bring out a few thoughts which will help to convince you that you want an Overland, and that the Overland can actually be demonstrated to be the most satisfactory car for you that money can buy. The Overland is not built of or on theories. There is nothing in it, on it, under it or about it which is not the tried, tested and proven best. What are the first things you want in an automobile? Appearance, Comfort, Safety, Speed, Power. Satisfied with these, You want durability, service minimum repair and tire expense, minimum running expense. And as you become versed in automobiling, you want the indicated pow er to be developed power, and that developed power to be applied power. If these points are covered satisfactorily for you, you have the right car. These requirements, and more, are met in the Overland. Call and see for yourself. Don’t be deceived.

Harry Worden and wife of Marion, I Ind., came today for a week's visit with friends at Decatur and Pleasant Mills. Mr. Worden was born in Adams county and is always anxious to . jnake Decatur a visit. O. E. Schafer, wife and children of Bluffton were in the city a short time Thursday evening. Mr. Schafer is , secretary-treasure’’ of the Grove Gar- , j age company, agents for the Ford au- ' tomobile, and was here on business with their local representative. Today was Flag Day, and Old Glory was once more unfurled to the breeze, ' as well as the national colors being displayed in other forms, from the business houses and residences i throughout the city. The Elks will hold special services this evening, as prescribed in their ritual for the day. Tickets for the commencement exercises of the St. Joseph school to be held next Thursday evening at the Bosse opera house are being disposed of by the children and already a large number have been engaged for the evening. Father Travers of Portland, who will be the speaker of the evening, will entertain the public as on I former occasions, and his talk will be full of interest from start to finish. I It has been said time and time again that if the young men killed ; in the Clover Leaf wreck near Frankfort had not been stealing a ride they i would not have been killed. The same thing could have been said if they had been in California or New York. The mere fact that they were possibly riding the train without having previously paid their fare cannot be said to be the immediate cause of their tragic death. They were on the ‘ train, in a particular car that was ‘ crushed like an egg shell and met ’ their death. But who shall say that in the great plan of life as mapped out by an all-wise Providence, these 1 men, young though they were, had ■ played their part upon life’s stage and ' that the scene of the Clover Leaf wreck was the time and the place for the ringing down of the curtain.
