The high school basket ball team left this afternoon for Portland, where they will meet the high school baskeball team of that city this evening. Many rooters accompanied the team. The pneumonia season is now upon us. A little extra care will safeguard persons against the attack of this in sidious foe to mankind. The exercise of such care should suggest itself V all people who have a proper regarc for health, and life Itself. Remembei the old adage, “An ounce of preven tion is worth more than a pound c cure.” There is a movement at Ossian headed by Anson Buck and Dale Der to try out the possible number of sub scribers to a paper that pledges t< raise $4,000 for a town hall and gym nasium. Just what success the youm men will meet is only a matter o' conjecture, but many believe that twe hundred young men can be found whe will contribute twenty dollars to r large gymnasium and club room. The paper will be circulated this week foi the purpose of trying out the idea.

Mrs. Robert Gephart and daughter, Mary, of Huntington, arrived yesterday evening for a visit with Mrs. Page Burrell. Mrs. John Trimm had the misfortune to slip while walking in her yard and In the fall, her left wrist was fractured. The injury is quite a painful one. Mr. Quince Moore, whose wife la doin' such heroic work fer th’ Belgian sufferers, is tryin’ th' no breakfast fad. Th' feller who used t’ let his horse stand unsheltered in all kinds o' weather uow blankets his Ford.—Abe Martin. Good will week, which was planned in South Bend to permit every citizen to make a contribution to charity, will be continued another week because of the inability of the committee to see every one on its list. The incomplete report shows that $11,879 has been raised so far. Don’t overlook the fact that the merchants of this city are urging you to shop early while the stocks are fresh and are also endeavoring to assist you to make your selections through the I advertising columns of the Democrat. I Read the ads carefully and your Christmas shopping will be much easier. The first copy of the Community Builder, a four-page, six-column paper, to be published monthly by the Redpath Chautaqua company, has reached our tables. It is an interesting newspaper on good paper and filled with interesting news and picture features, designed to tell all the news of the chautauquas to the various committee workers and officials of the local Chautauqua association. R. P. Reeder, connected with the Central Mercantile agency, on East Berry street, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Henry Branning yesterday on an Adams county warrant, charging that he raised a check for 5, given him by a Decatur business man, to $35, and cashed it for the latter amount. The prisoner was taken to Decatur last evening by Deputy Sheriff Kelly of hat place.—Fort Wayne Journal-Ga tette. Isadore Kalver and Luther Hower xrrived here last evening at 8 o’clock, each driving a new Ford two-passen-ger car, which they brought home from Indianapolis, having left there at 11 o’clock. The cars were today delivered to customers, the Krick-Tyn-dall company taking one of them and Daniel W. Beery the other. The Kalver & Sikes agency has already sold x number of 1915 cars and has a large lumber of prospects. As an expression of his interest in She Red Cross sea.l and anti-tubercu-osis campaign, President Wilson recently wrote to the national association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: "May I not take this occasion to express to you my deep interest in the work oj the National Tuberculosis association and my hope that its work is growing in efficiency ■ind extent from year to year? May I not particularly express my interest in the Red Cross Christmas seal whose sale has been the means of raising funds for the work? It seems to me that this is a particularly interesting and sensible way of enabling the people of the country to give this great work their support.” “The Rosary,” the play by Edward E. Rose, which has been the talk of the country for the past three seasons, will be presented at the Bosse opera house this evening, for a farewell tour. The success of this play has been at- , tributed to its foundation upon an emblem of purity and is the tale of everyday life in which the good is availed over evil, showing the principal char- ■ actor of a priest as the modern day finds him. The role of the Rev. Brian , Kelly as offered by Jay Quigly is be- , ing commented upon as being as near , a perfect representation as can be ; made by an artist ,pf exceptional abil- i ity. “Father Kelly,” a new play, and i a sequel to “The Rosary,” has been ' written by theauthor and will appear at this theater later in the season. As ] tremendous as the success of "The | Rosary” has been, it is predicted that t “Father Kelly” will be a worthy sue- ( censor. f Anything but joy and bliss is the ] life of a railroad ticket agent. With j the new rates of the Central I’assen- f ger association on interstate traffic ! getting their initiation this week and J Uncle Sam's war tax becoming effec- 1 five, “a hundred and one new things” * must be in the agent’s head. And the , freight agents will have just as hard ( a time, as the war tax measures will ( be started on freight shipments. An- j other thing that will upset many of t the railroad agents will come December 15, when increased passenger f fates become effective in the Eastern Passenger association. This will resuit in a further general boost in rates f here and tn coincide with the new cen- , tral pasenger rates, the agent must c learn a new set of figures. As a re- 1 suit of the increase, some of the sta- I lions near the state lines will be giv- J cn an extra large amount of business, t as the increase does not include inter- ( state traffic.

Useful Presents for the Little People It 1I W' V I S W- I —— -J* ■ ■ s ■ Sa ( lw I I I . A WARM robe of eiderdown flannel is among the many delightful gifts that are to be made for the baby or for the little ones who have out grown Eiderdown flannel Is woven In light colors and figured In white with Teddy bears, rabbits, birds and other figures that delight the youngsters. It Is the softest and most comforting of materials fcr cold weather. i Bath robes like that pictured are bound with narrow ribbon on all the raw edges, provided with collars and pockets (except when made for In- | fants) and have ties of eilk cord, fin- | ished with tassels at the neck and I about the waist, like the eiderdown in I color. For the little Infant the pocket and waist cord are not needed. ( Bed slippers of eiderdown finished and tied with ribbons are very com- | ,f6rtable for little ones who are apt to i ■kick off bedclothes In cold weather, I They are among the most easily made , of gifts. Shoes and bootees, for little Infants' dally wear, are also made of this material which is so well suited for a baby’s garments. Other articles are short sacks, hoods and blankets for the baby's carriage. The last are ' decorated with big bows of wide, handsome satin ribbon. Toys Made in the Home Workshop r-'OJ J ’? THERE are some toys that can be made at home for the smaller children and they are among those that are most durable and most cherished, | Among them are Teddy bears, dogs, elephants, rabbits and kittens made of canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls, printed on strong muslin, can be bought ready to be cut out and made I at home. The animals are cut by pat- I terns to be had at pattern companies and are stuffed with sawdust. Small buttons or beade make their eyes and heavy yarns are employed in outlining the mouth or nose or other details. A small white dog shown in the pictore illustrates how well these toys look. He is furnished with eyes made . of little black buttons and ears cut ( from black cloth. A ribbon carrying < a tiny bell is sewed about his neck and he re bedecked with a narrow band of red ribbon about his body, tied In a bow at the side. A clown doll is shown with the head ( made of ribbed goods like a stocking « top. The body is made of blue cambric I and the shoes of red. The tall hat is * of red also, and the costume is fin- ( ished with a ruffle collar of white lace. « This doll has eyes made of small black ■ beads with eyebrows and eyelids de- • fined with black yarn. His nose is i formed by making a short ridge in the face drawn together by a few stitches. A etltch, in red yarn, forms his mouth | and a mustache and whiskers are , made of black yarn. By separating the * yarn Into strands, and sewing it about ■ the head below the cap, an abundance , of curly, black hair is simulated. The I cap is topped with a tiny bell and red yellow and blue yams represent but- I tons and embroidery in his apparel. | Among the new things brought out « for this year are pictures to be made • by cutting out figures from colored tin- ■ sue paper and pasting them on a thin g paper background. The tissue is placed over an outline picture and the figure wanted drawn in outline with a pen- I cil. It is then cut out. Different ob- | jects are drawn on different colored « paper, as trees on green paper, horses • on white or brown paper, and other ob- a jects on appropriate colors. After all « the required figures are cut out, they « are pasted on the background. •
