The first day of the three, big sale days started off with a rush this morning and people from quite a distance arrived as early as seven o’clock to take advantage of the special offers. The Wells county commencement will be held at Bluffton on Saturday, June 13th, and will be a big event. The speaker of the day will be Dr. Jonathan Rigdon of Winona Lake, who is considered one of the most able speakers of the time. A demented man who gave his name as John Berry and his home as Rosedale or Boston, Mass., flagged a Clover Leaf east bound freight just east of Van Buren Sunday morning and when the engine crew reached him after bringing the train to a hurried stop he inquired whether he might not ride. He was taken aboard

and when the train arrived in Bluffton the man was turned over to Marshal Henry Fritz. In the opinion of the attorney general. Thomas M. Honan, the state fire marshal is empowered by law to go beyond the- local ordinances and regulations pertaining to fire preventative measures in any community, and, if he deems it necessary, make further provisions and regulations. This interpretation of the fire marshal law was sought in order to define clearly rhe state fire marshal’s authority in prescribing such regulations, since the >need for such action frequently arises. -Attorney General Honan’s opinion is emphatic in defining the fire marshal’s authority and has the backing of a similar opinion given recently by Attorney General Carmody of New York. The skunk farm is one of the industries that has been almost as popular in contemplation as raising chickens; and many people would have engaged in such an undertaking had it not been for the unusual expense attending it. The recent high prices for skunk skins has given impetus to the industry. The Agricultural Department at Washington has recently issued a bulletin telling just (how enclosures for ikunks should be made and arranged. The bulletin further goes on to provide a menu of foods such as are adapted to the skunk plate, it is stated that little more than the [amount of food required for a cat will supply the wants of a skunk. In the June Woman's Home Companion Fannie Merritt Farmer, the well known cookery editor of that publication, contributes a number of new recipes for June wedding receptions. Following arc two of her recipes calling for fresh strawberries: “Strawberry Manhattan Cream —Line a mold with strawberry ice and fill center with one cupful of heavy cream beaten until stiff, to which has been added one cupful of strawberry puree,(strawberries forced through a puree strainer), to which has been added three fourths of a cupful of powdered sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla and one tablespoonful of kirsch. The latter may be omitted if desired. Cover with straw’berry ice to overflow mold, pack in salt and ice and let stand three hours or more. Remove from mold to chilled serving dish and garnish with whipped cream sweetened and flavored with vanilla and fresh strawberries.”

The school for convicts at the Maryland state penitiary, known as the “In-tra-Mural School,” is a striking demonstration of the modern idea that reform of the convict through education is more profitable for the state and better for the individual criminal than is the vindictive and unintelligent treatment of the prisoners formerly in vogue, says the June Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. The Intra-Mural School has been in existence less than two years, but the results have been such as to astonish even the founders of the school. One of the greatest difficulties particularly at the start, was to get illiterates to undertake the work voluntarily, their objection being due in most cases to a feeling of hopelessness, to which was often. added a sense of shame and a disposition to hide their illiteracy. A peculiar ease of this kind vu thst of an expert sign painter who could neither read nor write. This r. knew all the letters of the alphabet, ould reproduce them in many styles, but knew nothing of their meaning when combined into i words, and was unahic to > ‘’ls own 'signs after he had painter them.
