Mount as receiver of the M. Rumley companies at $50,000 per year. Clarence S. Funk, who has been managing the Rumley concerns, exjiected the job, but Judge Anderson sprung a surprise.

Reports have been received from various localities of where one robin had missed his clime and traveled from the southland to this section where “Mr. Winter” is in the height of his glory, but when a flock of the robin red breasts was discovered at Kendallville it appears as though the entire family was forced to leave. The bird, probably, like some people, more than likely believed that it was cheaper to move than pay rent. J. W. Meibers, one of the most aeommodating of chief doorkeeper Joo Luther’s staff, is very anxious to learn something of the whereabouts of fames Ruark, who was either a chief or assistant chief doorkeeper of the house a number of years ago. There does not seem to be any record of Mr. Ruark’s employment, but some of the old-time politicians may know something about him. There are relatives who would like to hear about him Billy Blodgett, in Indianapolis News. Going at a speed of from 75 to 85 miles an hour, a motorcyclist su* seeded in driving his machine around the perpendicular wall of the top of a motordome,, says the Feruary Popular Mechanics Magazine. "This is a regular amusement-park feature for automobiles, but is seldom attempted with a motorcycle, since the machine must be driven at a terrific speed and must stand out almost horizontally from the wall. It is a good example of the power of centrifugal force, as well as the skill and nerve of the driver.” In regard to the present opportunity before American cheese makers, the curent Issue of Farm and Fireside says* in part: “Stocks of import' d cheeses are now about cleaned up, and American made cheese will get more attention than usual. The average European cats cheese at nearly every meal, and altogether consumes about eight times as much as the average American. Even after the war is over we'need expect very little foreign cheese to be sent us for a while, because there will be so few cattle and goats left. Now is a good time to learn to make cheese; a good demand is certain."

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schamerloh of Union township left today lor Chicago where they will visit with the Rev. J. Bauer and family. Rev. Bauer was formerly minister in Union township and has visited here the past week. In the February American Magazine Stewart Edward White describes a thrilling personal experience he had hunting lions in South Africa. His article is entitled “Four Lions at Once.’ and is an account of a hunting adventure in which he killed four liqns. In the course of the article Mr. White says that the lion stands easily at the head of the dangerous big game. The leopard takes second place, buffalo, third, and rhinoceros, fourth. He adds the following facts as to the man-killings made by certain animals,: ‘Perhaps a ‘score’ might be interesting. Within the news radius of Nai robi, in fourteen months lions killed eight men, mauled four; elephants killed two, mauled one; buffaloes killed two; rhinocerouses killed two.” Fear is expressed in all parts of the state that the weather may mod erate to such an extent that the pres ent heavy snow might go eff in a rain. If this should be the case it is feared worse flood conditions than prevails' in the spring of 1943, when nearly the whole of Indiana aind surrounding states were flooded, might bo expect ed. With the snowfall on an averag< of about fourteen inches deep, it h calculated that a great amount of wa ter would be turned into the streams of the state. It is variously estimated that the fourten inches of snow is equal to about three or four inches of rain and, with a continued rain washing this snow and water int< the streams, flooded condition would be sure to follow. o TO GET PAID-UP POLICY. Jesse Kelly, local agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, has come across a unique case thus far in his work. John J. Foughty of Seventh street, aged 66, has carried for twenty years a twenty-year endowment policy in the industrial department, paying ten cents a week therefor. The twenty years will expire February It, when Mr. Foughty will receive his paid-up policy of SIOO. Very many of the younger people carry these, but this is one of the few in which a man so advanced in years, has carried n:i industrial of this kind for so many years.
