The best way to form an impression of a neighboring city is to look at its newspapers. If these journals are poorly printed and sloppily written, and if there is little advertising, the community is almost invariably run down. If the advertising columns are well filled that community is going right ahead. Dick Townsend has gone to Puducah, Kentucky, where he will assume the management of one of the leading hotels of that part of the country.

Mr. Lord bought a 240-acre farm there and has shipped his stock and household goods.

In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor, writing a practical article about mattresses and other provisions for beds, makes the following general comment: “In furnishing a home the housewife should give most careful thought to the beds and their equipment. We spend at least a third of our lives in bed, and it is worth while to make that third pleasant and refreshing. The best mattresses and springes are none too good when one is storing up strength for more work. Besides, as is the case with most household purchases, the best are really cheapest in the end.” The reproduction on paper of an unlimited number of photographic prints in the true colors of the original subject, which has been the dream of every inventor in the photographic field, is now possible by a process which is stated to be so 'simple that any intelligent amateur can master it. Frederick Eugene Ives, the American inventor of the half-tone process of printing and the three-color half-tone process, as well as many of the devices in the field of applied optics, has taken out patents on this new photographic method, which is fully explained in the April number of Popular Mechanics Magazine. In the April Woman’s Home Companion Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of that publication, explains how fashions have to be applied differently to different individuals. A woman may be fashionably dressed and still look like a frump. Following is an extract from what she has to say: “The new fashions, generally speaking, each season attempt to give grace and beauty to women as a whole: but for each individual Me there must be discrimination. Fashion favors a style for everybody and everybody in style; but yet one woman's style is another woman's dowdiness; just as one man’s heat is another man’s poison. There is danger, therefore, in following blindly tlio dictates of fashion, for what is attractive for one woman may be ridiculous for another.”

Mrs. Marvey Mygrant returned to South Bend this afternoon after a visit here with the Asa Engle family. Mrs. Fred Engle, who was operated upon at the Lutheran hospital, is at home and is getting along nicely, Mrs. C. J.

True Fristoe, s|>ent three days here and left yesterday for Greenville, Ohio, to take a position with another company. The four sisters of John G. Wen dell, said to be the richest man in Ney York, who died recently, inherited $60,000,000. They have never ridden in an automobile, yacht or elevator: never used a telephone; never entered a theater; never received callers; have not been inside of a church in twenty years; nor made a public gift to charity. Mrs. Rollin Spangler of Walkerton, Ind., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Steele, of this county, and who was operated on Thursday at the Lutheran hospital for a disease of the neck, known as Graves’ disease, is reported to be getting along nicely, though her condition for a day or two following the operation was quite serious. Mrs. Spangler is well known here and her hundreds of friends hope she will soon be entirely recovered. Her ailment is slightly different from goiter. A pitable example of the effect of ffhe federal act which has suddenly taken from drug fiends the opportunity to procure narcotics, was witnessed on a Pennsylvania train a few days ago. Mrs. Alexander Wagner of Canton, traveling from Grand Rapids. Mich., suddenly lost her mental poise, from a collapse due to being denied morphine. When the train reached Lima she was given medical attention and in the charge of a police officer she was taken to Fort Wayne. Later she was placed in the care of physicians and an officer of the G. R. & I and the journey to Grand Rapids was continued.

The payroll of the Pennsylvania railroad for the fiscal year, ended June 30, last, aggregated $101,892,355. and the number of officers and employes benefiting thereby was 110,680, the average daily wage of all, therefore, having been $2 82. With the exception of the officers, engineers, con ductors, firemen and machinists, the brakemen averaged the highest rate of pay, or $3.40. Station agents averaged $3.01 per day. other station employes $2.18, carpenters, $3.03, shopmen other than machinists, $2.70, section foremen $2.50, other trackmen $1.77, tele graph operators and dispatchers $2.59 switch tenders and watchmen $2.02 and office clerks $2.83. o FT. WAYNE SENDS FORTY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) would blow you up in 10,000 pieces. But God promises you enough to start with. Start now and I assure you that before you have gone far you will be about shouting the praises of God. There are many other excuses which are offered and which equally fail to stand the test of sound reason and judgment. I mention but one more and that is this —There is plenty of time yet. We meet many who say to us that it is right to be a Christian. That it is the duty of all men to be Christians. That they expect some day to be Christians themselves, but that there is time enough yet. Common Plea.

The plea of time enough is the most destructive of all. It is the last card the devil plays and so often wins for him the game. Procrastination is the ally of sataa and the assassin of souls. What my friend, is ever to be gained by any farther delay? Every day you live without Christ you are drifting farther away from God and he: ven. Your life is becomin fixed. Your influence is being lost. Your time is being lost. Have you not lost enough time already. Your soul is being lost, —o FARM FOR SALE—I 22 acres within 4% miles of Decatur at a bargaiu, of taken at ouce.

Petrograd, Mar. 20 —(Special to the Dally Democrat) —German troops in Poland are leaving a trail of ashes and ruined homes as they are pressed back toward the Pdussian frontier, according to semi-official statements today. The Germans, it was estimated, have destroyed property worth half a billion dollars. The charges evidently were published to meet Hie recent statement by the German war office that Russian trooil pillaged and burned homes in their invasion of the country around Memel early this week. “The Germans in Poland have devastated ninety-five towns and villages. There are 27,000 smaller villages partly in ruins; 4,500 totally destroyed and 1,000 in ashes." Washington, D. ('., Mar. 20 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Further demand that action be taken to protect Catholic priests and nuns in Mexico City were made on the state department today.

It was stated that aside from the loss of the French snip Bouvet and the British ships Irresistible and Ocean no serious casualty had been suffered by the allied fleet. Dispatches to the admiralty early today indicated that Forts Kiiid Bahr and Chanak guarding the Dardanelles narrows were damaged by the AngliFrench fleet, which withdrew.

INSTALLS AUTOMATIC MILKER. A trip to the B. J. Waggoner &. Son dairy farm, two and a half miles north of the city, would not only be an interesting and delightful trip, but would be highly educational as well. When Mr. Waggoner started in the dairy business, by no means did he do things in a half-hearted manner. First he erected a fine sanitary milk- ' ig house for his large herd of cows, then he installed a Waterloo Boy Automatic milker. This milker is the brain child of one of Adams county’s own citizens, L. F. Schroeder, president of The Republc Stock Food & Medical company, who, aftef hard years of work finally succeeded in materializing it, having it patented and selling it to the Waterloo Boy Manufacturing company. The milker is the most sanitary one on the market, being made entirely of aluminum and
