Bell, who was slightly ill, is reported better. Attorney John C. Moran was at Ft. Wayne today on business. Mrs. J. S. Peterson and Miss Margaret Todd went to Fort Wayne today noon.

Esther Kakin returned to Wabash today noon after a visit with her sister, Mrs. Fairchild. Mrs. Dan Niblick has returned from Vera Cruz where she visited with her mother, Mrs. Michael Henneford. It's surprising how many things you can fined to criticize and how few to commend, or at least it seems that way. Dr. Roy Archbold was at Wabash Ind., yesterday, where he conducted a clinic for the dentists of that hustling city. Mrs. Herman Tettman has returned from Dayton, Ohio, where she attended the funeral of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Katie Myers. Th’ war news continues t’ be favorable t’ both sides.

Mr. Gerke visited there over Sunday. Albert Arnold of Kirkland township has purchased a new five-passenger Lambert touring car. He has owned a Lambert for five years and liked it so well he has bought his second. The new car is a 1915 model and is a beauty. Rev. Honeywell, Rev. McCombe and Mr. Clase made the rounds of the business district this morning, calling on the men in the various stores and places of business. The Daily Democrat enjoyed the few mfnutes they spent in this office.

A handsome Buick truck was delivered yeaterday to the Lee hardware store and Buick touring car to Ed S. Moses. Hurry along if you want one of the World's Almanacs the Daily Democrat is giving to those who pay their subscription to next January.

Farm and Fireside says: “‘l’d hate to sleep with a scoundrel,’ says Dad Millslagle, ‘and I have to go to bed with myself every night. These two things have done a whole lot to keep me on the right path.' ” Mr. and Mrs. Paul Girod and family left, yesterday for Salem, Oregon, where they will make their futui-3 home on a farm near that city, which Mr. Girod recently purchased while there on a trip. He formerly owned a farm in Monroe township, selling this recently. He is the father of Milton Girod of this city. Mrs. John Niblick and daughters, Helen and Mrs. A. D. Suttles, left this afternoon for Leipsic, Ohio, where they will visit with the O. P. Edmands family. They go to attend the christening of the Edwards babe. Harriet, who will l>e one year old tomorrow. The christening will take t Dee on the birth anniversary. Rev. Hamilton of near Wren, 0., attended the Honeywell evangelistic services last evening. While here he met Rev. McCombe and was agreeably surprised to learn that both came from the same part of Ireland. Rev. Hamilton is -acquainted with Rev. McCombe's family in Ireland and the visit was one of mutual pleasure. At one time last night there were fifty automobiles parked about the tabernacle and thirty six remained there luring the evening. Many people from Monroe. Willshire, Pleasant Mills, Ossian, Berne and other places '■ome each evening for the services The Honeywell party will go to Willshire next Monday evening it is thought now and a week later will go to Berne. Several ladies at the tabernacle requested an usher to lower a window 'act night but he paid no attention, and when asked afterward why, said he was afraid he would be called down. Some organization, that of Rev. Honeyw'ell, but unless we are mistaken, he would call an usher much quicker for not looking after the comfort of the crowd thin for anything else. Evangelist Stephens and his party have virtually closed a contract with the churches of Montpelier for a revival meeting there at the close of , the campaign now in progress here. The services of the entire party have been engaged by the Montpelier people. The meeting there will be a union tabernacle service, along the lines followed here. Word from Montpellier today is to the effect that the work of clearing a lot for the tabernacle has already been started. — Bluffton New’S. During a cotton festival held at Waco, Texas, scores of bales of cotton were utilized in the construction of a large arch which was built to span a street in front of the exhibition grounds and serve as the entrance to the place. In the middle of the structure appeared the figure of King Cotton, made entirely of the product. At night it was brilliantly illuminated by electric lights. Numerous pieces of statuary modeled from cotton, its hulls and seeds, were displayed at the • exhibit,” says ‘he March Popular Mechanics Magazine. “Many of these, which showed considerable ingenuity, served as advertising mediums (or different local business houses.” When an interurban car on the Foit Wayne & Northern Indiana Traction line reached Huntington a few nights ago, the conductor, Harmon Herzog, who lives in that city, noticed a twopound paper sack which contained what he thought to be banana peelings. Pursuing his usual course, Herzog lifted the sack to the window and was about to throw it out when be suspicloned that there might be something besides banana peelings in the paper. He concluded to open the sack, and to his surprise and amazement he found one hundred dollars in bills and silver, which was later found t<j be the property of J. H. Wells, who owns and operate restaurants and hotels in Peru and Logansport. Mr. Wells had been in Ixigansport checking up one of his places, and the SIOO he had placed in a sack to take home with him. When he left the car he forgot the sack and it was carried on unharmed. Mr. Herzog had little dif-ficulty-in finding the owner of the treasure sack and he promptly turned it over to him.

Somo women's idea of being ec> nomical is to have their ball gowns cut lower. It is said that haste makes waste, yet you seldom find a husijr In an almshouse. Florence David, who has been 1)1 nearly three weeks of pneumonia, remains about the same. John Stults, who has been confined to his home on account of rheumatism, was able to some down town today. If all women were compelled to dress alike there would be more vacant pews in fashionable ehuehes than there are now. Rev. Kattman, from Berne, was among those from out of town who attended the meeting at the Honeywell tabernacle last evening. Rev. Mumma of Hoagland spent the day Wednesday with friends, attending the afternoon and evening meetings at the tabernacle. Mrs. Chris Boknecht yesterday returned from Indianapolis, where she visited with her daughter, Mrs. Scott Ellis, and the new granddaughter, Chrisanna, born to Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, All are getting along very nicely.

General Safety Agent Marcus A, Dow of the New ork Central has issued a statement that 33,000 per under the age of twenty-one were were killed or injured while trespassing on railroads in the United States I from 1901 to 1910. He points out th::! these deaths would make a mile post for every mile around the earth. Dr. Roy’ Archbold, treasurer of the new Adams County Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, recently organized l , today received a check for $148.37 from the state secretary, this being the amount due for the sale of Christmas seals. Thisis in addition to ihe $60.49 already in the treasury, and makes a total of $208,86, which the society has on hands with which to fight the white plague. Farm and Fireside says: “Little wonder that first-class maple sugar and syrup are scarce. Only one tr»e is tapped for every five people in our population. Counting both sugar and syrup, New York is the leading state for the values of its maple products, Ohio is second and Vermont third. But Vermont is far in the lead for maple sugar alone. The maple products of the country are worth over five million dollars a year.” Three juvenile prisoners, who were taken from a freight train at Bellefontaine after they had broken out of the Sidney jail, included one girl, Nellie Huston, aged sixteen. The boys, Victor Duff and Leonard Browning, aged fourteen, robbed Jacob Allenbach, a prisoner, of twenty-five cents, while they were in jail. Sheriff Smith found tlie money in Duff's shoe. The children were taken back to Sidney by the sheriff from Shelby county, who had not known of their escape until notified from Bellefontaine they had been caught. The boys h:>’ gained their freedom first and then went to the girl’s compartment and aroused her, so that site could accompany them. o VOBOa MASONIC CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING MARCH 6 Wednesday, March 3, 7:30 p. m.
