A. degree, but in the face of a B. A. B. Y.. my self-confidence has dwindled. I am in the lonely hils of north Georgia. My doctor is seventy-five miles away.

Later, with your help I am going to try to organize a Better Babies Club for this section.”

Anyone who can make the ( country laugh can have his way with it.” Many Decatur people are planning to leave here Saturday for an over Fourth vacation.

Rev. Billy Sunday is the heaviest tax payer in Kosciusko county. His first installment this year was more than two thousand dollars. He with Mrs, Sunday, will walk into the treas 1 urer’s office, and while the wife transacts the business, Rev. Sunday wll converse with friends about him. While he is the heaviest tax payer, which implies that he has more property than any other citizen, yet he gives much of his wealth away, it is , said. A novel job of house moving was recently carried out in Boston, where three frame houses were pulled in . succession through the streets by a steam roller to a new site about three miles distant. The three houses were sold together for $2,800. and the cost of moving was about $3,700. A considerable part of the expense of moving was due to the necessity for taking down and replacing electric light and telephone wires along the route. -From the July Popular Mechanics Magazine. Residents of two sections of Putnam county, who only a few months ago were rival bidders for the new Indiana state farm, are not so sure, since the work on the farm is in full swing, as to just which of them was really favored in the final decision of , the state board when it choose a loca ; tion for the institution. While not presuming to say that the farm is not the result of a great forward step 1 in progessive criminal legislation, there are many persons there who are quick to assert that it is by no means an especially desirable institution to have in one’s midst. A contributor to the current issue of Farm and Fireside explains as fol lows, why cows give more milk than they used to: "Cattle used to be bred chiefly for work. Therefore the cows did not give much milk. Breeds Improve the thing for which they are selected. In 1790 the work of (tows of Germany gave an average of a pint and a half a day. Interest in milk increased, and by 1800 the average yield was a quart and a half. Breeding went on milkward, and in 1810 the German cows averaged two quarts of milk each per day. In 1820 three, in 1830, four—and there the gain stopped for thirty years. But in 1860 the production had increased to six quarts, and by 1870 to eight.” Charged with grand larceny and ob- ■ taining money under false pretense in cases in the Well’s Circuit Court, Samuel D. Hanna, of Fort Wayne, was again placed under arrest yesterday, in connection with a case growing out of the Hanna-Breckenridge failure some time ago. Hanna was arrested at his office in the Shoaff building at Fort Wayne, by Deputy Sheriff Witte, According to the affidavit filed by the Prosecuting Attorney Henry Eilgemann. Hanna secured a loan from the German-American bank of Fort Wayne of SB6O. The money was secured, it is charged, on a false statement of assets, Hanna pretended that William Pennypacker, of Buffalo, N. Y. was indebted to the Hanna-Breckenridge firm in the sum of $981.96. and this amount was given as colatral security for the loan sought by the firm to Ude over a financial embarrassment. The bank officials acquiesced in the matter, learning, when it was too late, that a, fraud had been practiced on th-m and that Pennypacker, of Buffalo, did not owe the Hanna-Breckenridge concern a penny.
