I "A DAUGHTER OF PAN' AT THE LYRIC TODAY. 1 One of the most stupendous, inters esting mid clever motion pictures ever ' produced will lie the offering at the Lyric today. Miss Helen Gardner, the . great emotional actress, the idol of the I motion pieure-loving public, will upI pear in the most exquisite and fantastic drama ever produced, "A Daugiiter of Pan.” It is a drama that will take s you back to the days of ancient B Greece one that will delight you, stir • you. you simply cannot wait for the 5 next tiling to happen, as it will hold : you in pleasant anticipation. The : admission for today will lie five cents. ! This is one of the biggest bargains ! ever offered in motion pictures a should not be missed. As a special added attraction for tomorrow nr 1 Thursday, Fred iJiDelle (Decatur’s own clever artist) will appear in an entirely new line. It is really sometiling that lie lias not presented in over thirty years and ills many friends of o<er a quarter of a century ago will be delighted to hear him sing his old favorite of those days that was made “famous by him. “I Tickled Nancy and Nancy Tickled Me." Mr. IgiDelle will make up for his character in front of the audience. This alone is a novelty well worth while. His many friends will no doubt be surprised to see him in a comedy act, however. Fred says he is going to ‘‘pull the laughing gas” on the audience and he has a pleasant evening's entertainment up his sleeve. w GETS MUCH OUT OF LIFE. Another Adams county farmer who believes in making life worth the living Is Theodore Ewell of Preble township. Os German descent, industrious and with good business education, he progresses. He and his good wife have reared a fine family of six children and educated them in the paroch-

ial schools. Mr. Ewell has been a farmer all hfs life. Soon after he and Mrs. Ewell were married they moved to rtearlwrn county. Ohio, where they resided three years, and then deciding that Adams county was the garden spot of the world, moved to the farm where they now live, eighteen years ago. He owns eighty acres of land, keeps an average of six horses, fourteen cattle and thirty hogs. He raises about 300 bushels of wheat. 350 bushels of oats and 1.000 bushels of corn each year, feeding the most of the grain to stock, thus making money and keeping hfs farm in better condition. His farm buildings are modern and up-to-date, and when it comes to farm machinery and household aplT ances he intends to keep up with the times. No "rattle-traps" for him. "Safety and efficiency" is liis motto. He has just had a Pilot lighting plant, manufactured by the Oxweld Acetylene company, installed by 3. J. Thompson. He will also build a new silo this year. M. Ewell started without a dollar and from what we can see must lie a man of excellent judgment. We know he is a jolly good fellow and his home a good place to stop for dinner on a cold day. "TRAVELING MAN." o PATIENCE. (Our Religious Editor) "How long. O Ix>rd, how long?” I've repeated it o'er and o’er As 1 looked at the world’s crushing sorrows, While my heart grew heavy and sore. Why cannot relief come quickly? From sorrows come surcease? And my crushed and grief-stricken fellows From their troubles Ind instant release? 1 beheld the magnificent oak. and reverently Imwed my head. For I knew that the storms and win ter winds' blasts Had seemingly killed the acorn dead; But sow I beheld a new life hnd burst forth, My vision was narrow; omnipotent's, great: All will appear right tomorrow. So I rest contented and patiently wait. RUNAWAY FREIGHT la the two-reel feature a’ the Crystal tonight. It's a Kalem and is one of the most exciting features ever produced. , See n dare-devil leap through space to the top of a runaway freight rar, one of the breathless Incidents of thia absorbing railroad feature. Third reel to make up our program Is "Getting the Best of Had." A Lubin comedy. Five cents. MRS. WATSON DEAD. Mr*. J. B. Watson, aged fifty flvh years, a resident of Geneva, died at 3 o'clock Sunday morning at St. Joseph's hospital, where she had been a patient for the past week. Surviving she leaves the huslmnd and several children. The remains have been ahlppwl to Geneva for funeral services and burial.

GOOD FEED FOR LIVE STOCK, | Peanut Shell and Skin* of the Kernels ■ Considered of Much Value by ~ German Breeders. Peanut shells and the red skins which envelop the kernels are in de- * mand in Germany for stock feeding. - When ground they are known gener- , - ally as “bran.” The shells, says a ' r consular report, contain 57.8 per cent . of cellulose and have scarcely any nutritive value. Bran of this kind has been on the German market 20 years. The material is mixed with other ■ feeds of higher value, and notably is I used in the composition of molasses • feeds to give them body. A more genuine peanut bran is composed of the . red inner skin of the kernels to which attach fragments of the kernels. This material averages from 14 to 18 per cent of fat. In the trade these skins include a percentage of shells also amounting, so it is asserted, to from 20 to 30 per cent. The shell material comes from the inside of the envelope and is Lellevod to contain some fat. All grades of peanut bran are ground and have the appearance of ordinary bran. At present fine Marseilles bran is qqoted at 46 to 48 marks $10.95 to $11.42 a ton). No peanut bran is be ing imported from the United States at present, although it might be. as it enters Germany without duty. In the hand book of the union ot agriculture experiment stations in Germany attention is called to the fact that the finer grades of peanut bran by no means are composed principally of the red inner skin, but consist chiefly of shell. According to Ernrnerling, the fine meal of commerce con tains a maximum of 5.65 per cent, of fat. instead of 14 to 18 per cent. Emmerling adds that true peanut bran consisting of ground red skins, contains from 9.3 to 19.2 per cent, of fat, and an average fatty content of 12.9 per cent. “True peanut bran.” ht says, "is a serviceable secondary stock food."

INSANITY IN ROYAL FAMILIES Unreason Seems to Be the Rule Rather Than the Exception Among Occupants of European Thrones. We have to go very far back in tht life of the deposed King Otto of Bavaria to tint! any allusions to hiir which show him otherwise than as a lunatic. But as a boy he is quoted tc have been at pains to be cheerful and agreeable, while his elder brother Lud wig sulked. They were brought U{ on a severe system of economy, be ing allowed only 60 cents a week. Tht story used to be told that Prince Otto hearing that sound teeth were a sal - able commodity, went to a dentist* and offered to have his own extracted for a consideration. The deposition of King Otto bring: reminder that the Bavarian is not th< only royal family in Germany with a touch of insanity. King Otto's mo the i was Princess Marie of Prussia, closely akin to Frederick William IV. —brothci of the old kaiser, and granduncle ol the present lost hit reason In 185", and years hac to be superseded by the prince ol Prussia as regent—just as George IV of England, for the same reason, acted for several years in the same capacity to his. insane father. In neither cas-r however, was there a deposition at now in Bavaria, as both the periods of regency were so short. Long before the official declaration of his infirmity Frederick William's fantastical sent! mentality, had amounted almost to in sanity. Pat Fooled Them. "Phat'll that go for?” inquired thr horny-handed son of Erm, as h* handed a stamped addressed envelop* across the counter to the postoffic* clerk. Somewhat puzzled by the llgtnest of the package, the official politely asked the Irishman if by any chanct he had forgotten to Inclose the letter Pat laughed. "Faith, now,” he said, "an' it's only a thrick av mine to get aven w’d them wild sutfrageta that's spoilin all tho letters In the pillar-boxes I'm just postin' the envelope, an' de livertu' the letter meselt"' Salesman's Requisite. Tc the salesman the possession of the innate power of quick adaptations to all situations is of prime impor tance. It is an indispensable to his success.

From its nature It Is beyond acquiring, and the unfortunate who lacks It has only the recourse of securing a calling whkh practically alienates him from immediate contact with his kind.

. PROFIT BY THEIR EDUCATION • Assertion That Learning Hrs Good Effect on the Lives of Rett va tion Indians, 1s education having its effect on Indian reservation life'.' Do the giauu ales all return to their homes, settle down and go into business of some ! kind, and do they do their part in making the community better? Not all do, of course, but a goodly per cent, do, according to a writer in the Southern Workman. A non-reserva-tion school, situated in the east, reports that a very small per cent, ot its graduates can be classed as failures. According to statistics published in its monthly magazine. 291 of its graduates are employed in the Indian service working for the uplift of their people. The superintendent of a nonresurvation Indian school, situated in, the extreme west, states that he has made an investigation of the character and industry of the graduates of his school. Reports were received upen 127 former students, with the following interesting results: As to character, 29 were rated as excellent, 79 good, 12 fair and seven poor. As to industry, 23 were rated excellent, 92 good, eight fair, and only four poor. The superintendent of a non-rescr-vation Indian school, located in the northwest, writes as follows: "I have to report out of a total number of 234 graduates from this school since ISBS. up to and including the class of 1913, and from the best in formation as to the condition and doings of these young people, only three are known to be failures. The others according to the best information, arc engaged in some gainful and worthv occupation, many of them filling high positions in the business world, oi still pursuing their studies along special educational lines.” EACH YEAR SEES ADVANCE

Women’s Dresses Are Becoming More Hygienic and Decent. According to Writer. The gentlemen who spend much time writing to the newspapers and some other gentlemen whose senea tional remarks are quoted in the pa pers have had a goed deal to say this year about split skirts and X-ray gowns, skirtless bathing suits and kindred subjects, remarks Women's Stories. It is a debatable question whether they have had more reason for their shrill denunciation this year than ordinarily. There are always foolish extremes, no matter what the fashions are. But their talk seems to have obscured the fact that the average women’s clothes are as a mattet of fact more comfortable nnd more hygienic and more truly decent every year. Ons has only -to think back to the time when broadcloth trains were de rigeur for walking, when voluminous plaited skirts gathered dust It every seam, when one shivered in elbow sleeves in winter and felt that a high collar was necessary jp summer. There never was such a comfortable and inconspicuous style in tailored clothes as the straight, scant coat and skirt of today, while the "corsetless figure” is distinctly an Improvraen* on the tight and almost always hideous princesse costume. A few models may pose in indecent gowns for the crowds to gape at in their evening papers, but the average woman is a little more sensible every year about her clothes. Secularizing the Affections. When we make a dead failure of a living affection, we secularize it. Sometimes we begin the day with a disaster of this kind. Our "good morning” is as secular as a snore W<j come downstairs half awake, our lips so sleepy that they scarcely move, our minds still torpid and vague We shuffle into the breakfast room and slide into a chair. Physically, mentally, spiritually, we have scarcely been penetrated by personality. Far within us its fires burn at a point near to extinction. But there is another and still worse element of secularity in our greeting. We scarcely notice whom it is we greet. The personality that should exhilarate us ’• for the time veiled by familiarity. So often we have greeted just this comrade at breakfast that today tho greet. Ing has become automatic. The spirit has gone out of it Were a stranger at the table perhaps we might be aroused—Atlantic Monthly. First Succsss of ths Wrights. It la now about ten years since the first flight in a motor driven aeroplane by the Wright brother* The Wrights did not complete their petrol engine until December, aud It was on the 17th of December, 19'>3, that Wilbur flew 852 feet! That was only ten years ago, but the Wrights maintained great secrecy about their experiments until three or four years later, and were regarded with much Incredulity. Fine Theater for Manila. Manila is to have the larges! and most modern theater in the far east.
