Fred Rohrer, editor of the Berne Witness, was here today on business. "While 1 was out in the country yesterday I saw a good looking young mall carrier kiss half a dozen differ- [ ent girls along the road,” I suppose he includes that in rural delivery." - People’s Post.

What I get out of money in the way of living is all 1 can expect out of life. I have to spend money—that’s all there is for me to do.” She insists that her allowance should be increas- ' ed from this mere "pittance” to at . least SSOO a month. Benjamin J. Norris of Lagrange county, delivered at the Lagrange stock yards a male hog that tipped the scales at 807 pounds. Eight pigs, descendants of this hog, at ten and one-half months old, averaged 410 pounds each; twelve others at nine months old averaged 350 pounds each. In breed they were I. O. C. and Tamworth mixed. Then some of o”ur farmers tell about going to Canada or to the west or south somewhere to make a living. John Brown, 1330 West Elm street, Lima, is 105 years old, but he is still in good health. Furthermore he does net consider his extreme age very-re-markable, owing to the fact that his parents, as well as other members of the family, reached the century mark and he has one brother living who is 100 years old. Brown is in full possession of his faculties and Sunday, April 25. delivered a sermon before the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Lima. He expounded his subject with the vigor of a youth, fresh from he seminary. He was born in Highland county on September 10, 1811. Tire amateur astronomer who rises early during the May mornings will behold a beautiful panorama. Those who have a telescope will observe shortly after midnight, the great planet Uranus rising in the east. Its diameter is about eight times that of the earth. A little later, Jupiter, the king of planets, will rise. Its diaim - ter is about eleven times that of the earth. A few hour later, Mars and Venus will rise, Mars a little ahead of Venus. The diameter of Mars is about one-half that of the earth, and that of Venus is almost exactly the same as that of the earth. Then the great king of the solar system will rise. The sun’s diameter is more than one hundred times that of the earth. Warning to farmers at this time of the year to beware of lightning, is being given by the state fire marshal’s department. The spring showers, so welcome to the agriculturist, often become electrical storms that mean fire and destruction to the exposed farm building. Seventy-five per cent of all lightning losses are in the country. Lightning did less damage in 1914 than perhaps in any recent year Indiana, owing to the few severe electrical disturbances, and also to the generally increased equipment of buildings with lightning rods. There were only four hundred and fortythree lightning losses in the stale during last year as compared with one thousand and six in the preceding year. —— SCHOOL CHILDREN GAIN.
