The Lutheran Young People's socle ty will have a social meeting this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the parochial school house. Robert Lenhart is clerking at the F. V.

Officers for the organisation will be elected and it is very impor tant that you help make your selection. When tiu» MM-rchaats have fully organised it will be a great tiling fori them and the city. The four acre garden plot which surrounds the Copley home in Aurora. 111., will not be neglected tills spring just because Mrs. Ira C. Cop ley. wife of Representative Copley. !s busy witli social duties in Washington. Washington makes many de mands on the wife of tlie member from llinois, but. even so. she'll return to Illinois immediately after Easter I to plant what is said to be the most I beautiful garden in “The City of Beautiful Gardens.” Soon the balmy spring-time breezes | productive of colds and sneezes, will I dispel our dreams of winter, deftly throw us off our guard: soon we’ll see the red-cheeked maiden and tier i brother, Johnny, spadin' in their mother's flower garden and a rakin' up the yard. These and other signs will tempt us and the grip genie ; won’t exempt us—to remove our clinging “lieavies" and our lightweight duds to don. (A little of tlie creepy stuff here, professor). When 1 our last wish lias been granted and our friends have got us planted we won’t need those "clinging heavies." but we’ll wish we'd kept 'em on. Mrs. Minerva Wilkenson. who has ! een doing light housekeeping for her i -oil for six weeks in Fort Wayne, returned yesterday to open the Woods , home tor her parents. Mr. and Mrs. l E.

Mrs. I, : Woods had the misfortune to sprain ' her knee and tear the ligaments there- ! of. and she has been and will be dis-L aided for some time. The accident occurred in Fort Wayne while bending I her kins- to put on her overshoes, and r It was not until utter a return from . a walk down town that the Injury be- 1 came so very puinfui. Mr*. Wilken-1 sou will remain to care tor her mother. The disappearance of Bert Clilp- , man is still the uno big mystery around the slierlff's office and tn t><> lice circles, not a word coming from ■ any direction. Chipman's father has not been In the city today, and the only conclusion arrived at by the sheriff's force Is that he might have I received some word and had gone to Fort Wayne, as lie war expected hero today. A letter was written to Ma-1, lives In Burnstowu. 111., yesterday.i where Clilpniun is supposed by some to have gone. Bo far the officers liave received no answer. i»ut they think, probably, by reason of the father nut I showing up today, he has word from the boy and has gouc to meet him.— j Biutitou Vanner.
