In Manila cows’ milk sells for about 20 cents a quart, and carabo s milk for 15 cents.”

M. A. FrlMnger went to Ft. Wayne this morning to get a horse, Even when your wife's argument does not sound convincing, It is. Some men are satisfied with half a loaf ,and some loaf all the time.

The special edition of the Bible which this office is selling at a dollir and twenty-three cents, and six coupons clipped from the pages of the Daily Democrat, has the endorsement of Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal Farley. Already a number of homes have been furnished with one. If you have not yet secured one, get it while our offer is good. Henry A. Radkey, a boilermaker, now employed at the Casparis quarries at Logansport, is preparing to file in the Howard circuit court at Kokomo, through Attorneys Rabb, Mahoney & Fansler, of Logansport a suit against W. L. Ross, receiver for the Clover Leaf railroad company, for $5,000 damages. In his complaint the plaintiff alleges that on October 22, 1914, while he was employed in the Clover Leaf shops at Frankfort he was struck in the eye by a flying piece of steel and the sight of that optic destroyed. March is hanging on with wonderful tenacity and is going to make a rec-, ord for hard frosts. The mercury dropped to the half way point, ’6 above zero, Monday morning, and things were frozen solid. A snow fell late Sunday afternoon that covered the ground and protected the wheat and clover. There was quite a breeze going and the night was one of the coldest since January. The air was filled with snow all day Sunday and the wind came out of the northwest. By Monday morning, however, it had again switched around to the southwest and there should be some warmer breezes voming this way soon. The month is liable to go out much colder than when it came in. The skee measures some nine feet in length, and the board is ten inches wide. All the metal work, with the exception of air tanks, is bronze to prevent rusting in the water. These air tanks are of galvanized iron, painted with several coats of enamel. The simplicity of construction of the solid bevel gear and the shaft make it practically impossible for anything to break or go wrong, while the buoyancy of the tanks prevents any chance' of sinking or even capsizing, as tluy always force the machine to assume an upright position if it is rolled over in the waves. The blades of the propeller are sharp enough to cut seaweed and prevent any serious clogging—April Outing. During the recent Safety and Sanitation Exposition at New York, a young woman was kept alive under water for one hour and ten minutes by means of a resuscitating machine such as is used by the government in mine rescue work, says the April Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. "The test was performed f<jt the purpose of illustrating the efficiency of mechanical respiration and was conducted under the direction of a former surgeon of the United States Bureau of Mines. The breathing marfV. which was a double rubber tube extending to a hand operated lung apparatus, was strapped over the girl’s nose and mouth, and she was then placed in a large glass front tank. Throughout the period she was submerged she did no breathing of her own accord.”

Mrs. A. M. Anker was a Fort Wayne visitor today. Miss Lilah Lacliot returned to Fort Wayne today noon. Mrs. Leo Wilhelm went to Fort Waytie this morning. Amos Hirschey of Berne aws a business visitor here today. Make your neighbor's front yard jealous of your back yard. Miss Lilah Lachot of Fort Wayne visited here with relatives. Miss Nell Brown of near Willshire, Ohio, went to Fort Wayne this noon. Mrs. Mary Brown of near WilWhire, Ohio, was shopping here today. The Misses Agnes and Bertha Kohne spent the afternoon in Fort Wayne. W. A. Kuebler has gone to Chicago for several days to buy goods for the Boston store. If this chilly weather keeps up over Sunday no doubt a number will be disappointed over the Easter parade of the spring fashions. If there is any person in Decatur who wishes to subscribe to the fund for the boys gymnasium they can do so by seeing any of the high school boys or by sending their names to E. B. Adams. Jim Robinson, famous faster of the Kosicusko county infirmary, is consuming a small quantity of buttermilk and candy each day and indications are that he will resume normal eating again soon. Mrs. Ethel Bothoff Ahlers of Fort Wayne and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Danels of Newcastle, Penna, changed cars here enroute to Fort Wayne after a visit with their mother, Mrs. Botlioff at Pleasant Mills. The Danels will return to Newcastle. That the collapse of the grandstand erected for the ceremonies at which Vice President Marshall was notified of his nomination in Indianapolis n 1912 was due to tamperipg with the stand was sworn to by Louis C. Brandt of Brandt brothers, who erected the stand, in the suit for damages of Wooden S. Marshall of Marion against the city of Indianapolis, the Indiana Democratic club and others. Billy Sunday, the evangelist, says that the $50,000 he got for saving 40,000 souls in Philadelphia, was a me~e pittance compared to what Johnny Kilbane got for knocking out another slugger in that same city. The prize fighter got $5,500 for eighteen minutes’ fighting another man. Billy fought the devil there for eight weeks and figures out that if he had received the same rate of wages that Philadelphia paid the prize fighter he would have come away with $4,000,000, instead of a paltry $50,000. Philadelphia seems to place a higher value on the services of prize fighters. C. E. Mount who has been superintending the improvement of the grounds of the Murdock home in Indianapolis spent Sunday here with his family. Mr. Mount has about two weeks longer an Indianapolis. A force of ten or fourteen men work under him and extensive improvements are being made by Mr. Murdock who is connected with the Indiana Lighting Company. Mr. Mount is local manager over the company, and that he has been taken to Indianapolis to superintend the work speaks well of the esteem in which the company holds him. The following are the saints’ and holy days for the week: Maroh 23, Palm Sunday, Sixtus 111, pope, 440. 29, Gundleus, a Welsh kind, fifth century; 30, John Climacus, the Scholastic, abbot of Mt. Sinai, 605; 31, Guy, abbot at Ferrara, 1046; April 1, Hugh, bishop of Grenoble, 1132; 2, Good Friday, 3, Holy Saturday. In the ancient Alban calendar in which the year was represented as consisting of ten months of irregular length, April stood first with thirty-six days to its credit. In the calendar of Romulus it stood in the second place and had thirty days. Numa’s twelve-month calendar assigns April fourth place witli twen-ty-nine days. The month remained with twenty-nine days till the reformation of the calendar by Julius Caesar, when it recovered Its former standing with thirty days, which it has since retained. With the trip to Toledo of B. J. Brotherton to investigate a rumor of a petition being filed in federal court there, to move the Delphos Clover Leaf terminal, but a matter of a few weeks past, it is now officially announced that a request has been made by Receiver Ross of the road for authority to borrow z s6oo,ooo with which to make the change, and buy rolling stock. The hearing has been set for April .. Mr. Brotherton found on his trip that no petition had been presented but that the same agitation existing for years past, was still alive. Since it is known that a petition has actually been filed, the Delphos Commercial club at its regular meeting Friday night. April 2, will outline a plan of action. It is possible that Mr. Brotherton will be sent to Toledo to make a fight for retention of the terminal in Delphos. He probably will be assisted in his efforts by Toledo attorneys. —Deplios Herald.

The concern will be known as the Berne Overall & Shirt company. This is the second plant of its kind for Berne, the old company having made a spiendid success.

81 veO V '7 The Low Lift Manure Spreader Is Exactly the Right Height A BOUT the first thing you notice on seeing the Low Lift manure spreader is that it was built to save you a great deal of hard work in loading. The Low Lift box is just waist high. Think of the energy you will save with each load. The really hard labor with each forkful comes in the height you must lift it above your waist. You save that with the Low Lift. Whoever pitches the manure that goes to your fields will know how important this is. Yet, with all this comfortable height, the Low Lift spreader has fifteen inches clearance, enough to keep the apron off the ground in the roughest country or the softest yard. If you study the Low Lift on our floor, by the time you have fully appreciated this point you will have come across a half dozen other strong points. It will be an instructive half hour. 4/cfiajetJfardwatQ (Sb. irorr
