Mrs. D. C. Brundyberry of Monroe was a caller in this city this morning, Including this office In her visit, where she renewed allegience to the Daily Democrat for another year. Twenty-eight horses were shipped by express by E. W. Williams, from Lima to New York. From there the horses will he shipped to the French cavulry. Mr. Williams lias purchased altogether more than two hundred In Allen county for tlie French governJment. D. E.

The Hartford City council has given the city health officer at that place unlimited power in his fight to prevent a small pox epidemic. The disease lias been gaining headway because of the refusal of families to observe quarantine regulations. The health officer was empowered to appoint deputies to keep watch on the residences where occupants are suffering with the disease. Tlie Buckeye Traction Ditcher company of Findlay, Ohio, has been awarded a contract for the furnishing of 150 ditching machines to be shipped at once to the contending armies of Europe. They will he used in the digging of trenches for use as protection and breast works for the soldiers, also as a quick means of disposing of the bodies of the dead soldiers who fall on the battlefield. The open season for hunting quail begins November 10, and last until January l. But already poachers have commenced the slaughter of the birds. One man, Joe Pay. of Fort Wayne, is in jail for shooting quail out of season. He was arrested Monday and being unable to pay his fine was locked up. Quail are said to be more plentiful tills fall than for many years and it appears to be hard for the hunters to wait until the open season starts. The electric fan makes one of the best ventilators imaginable. Open any window a crack and place the fan so it will blow the air outdoors and it will free the living room of stale air, the kitchen from cooking odors, the cellar from mouldy damp smells, etc. It will drive out impure air and suck in fresh air, it will effectively stir up and revive the air in any room. If the fan is placed so it will blow upon the steam or hot water radiator it will distribute the heat to all parts of the room and insure an even temperature. A traveling man remarked on Saturday night as he stood in front of A. & I. Brown's department store that nowhere had he seen handsomer girls and women than in Willshire. This is a fact we have known for a long time, and when the maids and matrons from the surrounding country come to town and mingle with the local beauties it is a sight to please the eye of an artist. —Willshire Herald. It seenis that the days of country unsophistication are not yet passed. The Herald forgets to say that he kissqd all the dirty babies and praised all the burnt messes set before him to eat. That's what all the traveling men say about the women of Decatur, too. But everybody knows the salesmen have an axe to grind. An assistant scoutmaster of Philadelphia, Alfred H. Loeb, relates the following interesting and significant incident in his article on “What I Saw Scouts Doing in Europe,” in the war number of Boys’ Life, the Boy Scouts’ Magazine: “One of the nio3t courteous scouts whom I met was a sea scout. He was acting as a messenger for the admiralty (naval headquarters), while the rest of his troop were serving as scout guards. He appeared very much interested in what the American scouts were doing, so I showed him some photographs of our hoys. As I also held in my hand some photographs that I had taken of the German boy scouts, I said: ‘I don’t suppose pictures of German scouts would particularly interest you at tills time.’ Like a flash he answered with the best of good humor. ‘Why, of course, I would like to see them. After all, we are all brotlierscouts, aren’t we?’ It was then I realized the true brotherhood of the world scout movement.” o YEAR’S EXTENSION GRANTED. A. O. Neal, state high school inspector, who was here recently and went over the local high school building question, writes R. D. Myers, treasurer of tlie local school hoard, that the state hoard has granted the request of the locals for an extension of time in which to prepare for the new building. The new one was to have been begun tlie coming year, but the local Ixiard found it impossible to meet the financial requirements and asked for a year's longev time.
