She will probably return Thursday and will resume her position as bookkeeper at the People's Loan & Trust company. Mr. Kelly, of Geneva, was a business visitor in the city today. A movement has been begun for the opening of a municipal lodging house to care for men who coino to Logansport seeking work. Employes of the waterworks and electric light departments of the city say that every night from fifty to seventy-five calls are made by men who wish a place to spend the night. The city and county officials declined to equip the basement of the jail for a lodging place. Leaving her father's hotel in Kenton, Ohio, at 3 o’clock on a morning last July, Emma Kimmer, a pretty ■ girl of twenty, came to Bluffton with ? Orval Clum, a local man, intending t 6 become his wife. The wedding never I took place, and the girl, after a futile search for Clum, who left for parts unknown a few weeks ago, went home late Saturday night, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Brogan, who came 1 here in search for her. —Bluffton Banner. Why popcorn pops is not easily understood, says a recent bulletin of tiM agricultural department. Formerly it was supposed that the flopping resulted from the expansion of ; oil in the kernal on being heated, hut more probably it is due to the expansion of moisture contained in the starch cells and the kernel turns completely inside out, enveloping the embry and hull. Probably the expansion of the acid within the seed coat also plays some part in the process. The farmers’ short course will be held at Furdue university at Lafayette this week, beginning on January 11 and closing on January 16. For several years these courses have been conducted in the interest of the farmers of the state, and are always very largely attended. Considering the shortness of the course, a variety of subjects pertaining to the farm and its interests are discussed. The instructors are scientific men, and those who attend always come away highly pleased. Because she cheated the weighing machine in the railroad station at Cromwell, a station on the Baltimore & Ohio, about forty miles west of Auburn, a woman forwarded a letter to the company agent at that place, telling how her daughter placed a penny in the weighing machine and after it had registered her weight, and before she stepped from the machine the mother stepped on also and was weighed free. The woman enclosed a stamp and requested the agent to place a penny in the machine, thus easing her conscience. ; The information was received here today that the Tribolet company, ’ Hcomposed of A. J. Tribolet and several of his children, who several months ago started a five and ten cent store ; at Coldwater, Mich., have closed a • deal for another store of the same 1 kind in another Michigan city, near I Coldwater. The Morris company of I this city will send a man to he'/ 'n I the invoice. It is understood that I Harold Tribolet, who assisted in sectiring the location, will manage the new store.

He also visited J. B. Hale of this city, his partner in the implement and stock business. Mr. Cully seemed to be pleased to meet so many of his old friends. We can’t see but that Mr. Cully looks as well as he did fifteen years ago. Ecl Bishop of Muncie, who refereed the game between Winchester and Hartford City Friday night, vouvhes for the Indianapolis News’ fish story in Friday’s issue. The story is that ’ Bluegill Joe, of Lake James, cut a hole in thb ice, painted a minnow- on a board and started it in the hole. Bass, pickerel, blue gills and other things struck at the minnow with such force that they were propelled up the board in a piscatorial stream, dropping into baskets set under the top end of the board. Bishop says the story is true,, and that he got a basket of blue gills from Bluegill Joe Friday morning. And with all that vd was permitted to referee theybasket ball game.—Montpelier Times.
