| Most of the gossip is spread by those who tell it confidentially. An optimist is one who expects the harvest to outclass the prospects. A lawyer’s indoor amusement is to embarrass the opposition’s witness. Albert Lyle, little son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Mallonee, is ill o f the measles. Profanity is a vice with most men, although some few have almost made it an art. Mrs. Daton Baltzell returned to Fort'wayne yesterday afternoon after a visit here. Begin to practice up on safety and sanity; our glorious Independence Day approaches. Miss Blanche Baurer and Miss Mildred Brown of Fort Wayne arrived this morning for a visit at the Bauer home near Magley. Mrs. Connant went to Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon after a visit with her nephew, Richard Willey, and will later go to Detroit, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. Will Berling, of Bluffton went to Indianapolis to attend the races. There son, William, is here with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. X. Ehinger. "It’s hard enough t’ spoon while drivin’ a runabout, but it must be fierce on a motorcycle,” said Miss Fawn Lippincut this mornin’. Th’ dead beat is fer th’ "alleys."—Abe Martin.

C. C. Schug of Berne was a business visitor here today. Miss Sophia Schettmann of St. Johns was a shopper here. Earl Peters of Fort Wayne was a business vieftor in the city today. J. W. Tickle arrived from Rockford, Ohio, today to spend Sunday with Mrs. David Liby at Monmouth.

Miss Gladys Bowers has gone to Indianapolis to visit over Decoration day with Miss Ethel Houston and to attend the 500-mile race.

Miss Bess Schrock left this morning for Indianapolis to spend Decora-' tion Day with her sister, Mrs. Oren Smith and mother, Mrs. Schrock. Mrs. J. A.

Leland Frank and some boy friends have returned from Indianapolis, where they went to attend the races which were postponed. They will return again Monday. The Misses Eula McKinney and Flora Fledderjohann left for Russiaville this afternoon for a week’s visit with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McKinney. The Pennsylvania Railway company has announced that it has placed orders for 198 all-steel passenger and baggage cars, to cost approximately $2,000,000. The cars are to replace wooden equipment. Because of a misunderstanding when the ballots of the First ward were destroyed after they had been counted; the "dry” forces at Plymouth may make an effort to get another election. The “wets" won the election by a majority of six votes. Kenneth aged eight years, a son of County Commissioner and Mrs. James D. Butt, of Allen county, fell underneath a manure spreader on the Butt farm and sustained injuries which caused his death shortly afterward. The litfle fellow’s neck was broken. The wheels of the manure spreader passed over the body of the boy and it is believed that it was this which killed him, rather than the fall. W. J. Myers who fell and injured a hip several weeks ago, is now able to sit up a portion of the time. He sat up about an hour this morning, which is the longest time he has been up since his injury. His daughter, Mrs. Robert Harding of Fort Wayne visited with him yesterday and Ids son-in-law', Emery Wilson, of Cleveland, Ohio, was also here. His friends will be pleased to hear of hits continued improvement. It is said that the American made shells are the best used in the Eusopean war. They explode and that is the virtue of a shell. One that does not explode fails in its mission. It is said that 98 and 99 per cent of the American shells explode while only about half of the English and French shells explode. That would make a vast difference from the standpoint of effectiveness and utility. Eastern railroads are planning to put into effect on June 3 a requirement that travelers declare the value of their baggage when they check it. Railroad officials assert that such action is made necessary by the Cummins act amending the interstate commerce laws, under which all shippers of goods must declare the value of the shipments. The railw’ays will assume liability for loss of baggage or damage up to one hundred dollars, but will charge ten cents for each one hundred dollars above that amount — the rate fixed by the interstate commerce commission. The making of a false declaration of value is a inisdemeonor under the law. “Swat" the Rooster” is the official advice now' being sent throughout the state of Ohio by/the state agricultural commission. In a special proclamation S. E. Strode, a member of the commission, urges that every owner of a rooster chop off its head during the week of June first. If this advice is heeded, according to Commissioner Strode, this year’s egg crop in Ohio will increase in value $1,900,000. Surveyor T. C. Guildin. while automobiling this week thought he had run down and killed a hen. Looking back he and bis companions could not see the fowl, and stopped the machine, when the hen hopped from the machine, safe and sound. She had flown to a place of safety about the automobile as it bore down on her. —Bluffton Banner. ,
