NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENT ‘ We might echo the words of th* Celina Standard, which says: “Contributions for the paper are I gladly received. Only correspondents - and contributors must keep in mind ’ that a newspaper office is the busiest place in the world. t "To insure the publication of artlt cles see that they are written plainly ’ on one side of the paper only. Avoid ’ all abbreviations .such as Mon.. Tues., I etc. Do not run paragraphs togeth- ’ er. There is not always time in the day’s rush to rewrite copy. The writ- : er as a rule has more time than the newspaper people. The writers who ' keep these points in mind are cordially requested to send In news items, or anything else you would like to see in print. Correspondents are desired from every point in the qounty. ,‘Only remember that Christian charity for the contributor ceases to exist when a contribution is received that bristles with abbreviations such as daug., for daughter or others equally as bad and all mussed up witli parenthesses which are no longer seen in print.” o WILD WEST SHOW TONIGHT. The entrance to the Crystal theater represents a most picturesque appearance today, and takes one back many years to the old Indian and frontier days, with its great display of guns, chaps, saddles, animal skins and Indian relics which belong to Lewis Berg's Greatest Wild West Show. This show comprises the 1913 California cowboys’ meet and displays the champion broncho riders, cowboys throwing wild steers with their hands, lassoing and breaking wild horses and hundreds of other sports and pastimes of the boys in the west which thrill the people in this section. In addition to the wild west show, a film entitled “Mutt and Jeff,” in which Mutt is characterized as a soldier and Jeff as a cowboy, causes more fun than a circus, and a two-reel Vitagraph entitled “Cutey’s Wife,” and featuring Wallie Van, will be given. The price of admission for this afternoon and evening will be five and ten cents. o ABOUT THE DICK. Mis Mayme Cloud, of the BowersRealty office, is still confined to her home, suffering from a badly injured left ankle. In leaving home Saturday her heel caught in the porch step and was twisted. While it gave her much pain she walked to work and later in the day the injury grew so painful that it was necessary for her to ride home. On arrival there she fell in a faint and was found later by returning members of the family. The ligaments were found to have been torn. Doris, little daughter of Mrs. Letta Peters, is carrying her left arm in a sling. She struck the member on a piece of machinery while playing and injured the elbow, although if is not believed to be fractured. D. H. Hunsicker and daughter, Vera; Mr. and Mrs. Burt Hunsicker and Mrs. Chester Imler motored to Monroeville last evening, where they called on Mr. Hunsicker’s father. G. C. Hunsicker, who Is ill of Bright's disease. He is eighty years old. Virgil Krick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krick, was taken suddenly ill this morning at 9 o'clock while at work at the Krick & Tyndall tile factory. He was removed to his home and a physician called.

Must George and Mabel Eat Their Meals Off a Cracker Box This Winter? The calamity howler is abroad in the land. lie would have you throw down your tools and spend your days in complaining rather than work. To listen to him is dangerous. So often has he repeated his tale of woe that he has come to believe it himself, and he will convince you unless you are properly posted m advance. He has closfd down some factories and put others cn short time. And with each bit of encouragement his wail becomes louder and stronger. He has data which shows that the Sulton of Sulu intends invading Kansas. He firmly believes that Indianapolis is menaced by a contemplated attack from the Objibway Indians from up the St. Lawrence. His middle name is Doubt and his diet is Fear If you meet him, shoot him. He is a danger to the community and to himself. Follow his advice and the railroads will stop running to save coal. The furniture factories will close down to bave the wood; and the newly married George and Mabel must eat their meals off a cracker box in their new home this winter. Meanwhile, with all Europe at war America ought to be shouldering the world’s work. We ought to be working harder, manufacturing more, advertising more. We are approaching an era of great business expansion and prosperity. We must not Jet the howls of the calamity preacher deafen our ears to the call of Opportunity. LET’S GO TO WORK
