C. J. Weaver of Huntington was here yesterday on business. When a man is in love there isn’t any reason for anything he does. Another argument against war is that it lasts longer than elections or the football season. When the average man says his money is “tied up," depend upon it he hasn't much money. Mrs. and Mrs. F. E.

Mr. Ehinger will arrive tomorrow for an over-Sunday visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. X. Ehinger. Anticipating the greatest crop ever i harvested in the Northwest, the rail--1 roads have started a wide distribution of freight cars to meet the demands. of freight cars are being ’ rushed to places in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, where it 's ’ known that the yield will tax the facilities. Already hundreds of cars have • been placed on sidings at the princi- ■ pal shipping points. That the ralroads fear a car shortage is evident and ev- • ery preparation is being made. Contrary to general opinion, railroad 1 development officials are not making attempts to ship Eastern labor into ’ Wastern grain fields and are rather 1 discouraging the migration. It is pointed out that in the past, thousands of young college men have entered the great wheat belts, with the idea of working for a few months at good wages and that thousands cf Eastern mill hands and laborers have-migrated only to find that work in the wheat fields requires a specific kind of ability and strength, which they lacked, and the majority of the immigrants became public charges. There were 216,493 students in colleges, universities and techological schools in 1914, according to the annual report of the commissioner of education, just issued. This is an increase of 14,262 over 1913. The bureau’s list for 1914 includes 567 institutions, a decrease of 29 over the preceding year. States or municipalities control 93 of the colleges; private corporations control 474. Men ! still outnumber women in higher education; there were 139,373 men in 1914 and 77,120 women, as compared with 128,644 men and 73,587 women in 1913. Despite rising standards of admission and graduation, college enrollment has more than tripled since 1890. Living in the county jail lias not taken all the fighting blood out of Fred Kumpf as was indicated this morning, when he attempted to mixup witli Floyd Luttman, milk dealer, while on a trip to a barber shop with Deputy Sheriff Albright. Kumpf and Butler Ambers had been taken to the barber by the officer and just before starting back to the bastile Kumpf spied Luttmaiy an old enemy in the Porter shop on North Main street. Had Luttman not attempted to pa3S tlie time of day with his former trie id lie would probably have escaped Kumpf's list. From the conversation later Kumpf had warned Luttman never to speak to him and when he failed to heed the warning Kumpf *e it a stiff one to his lip. He started another jolt, but the deputy sheriff ' stepped between the men and prevented further trouble. Bluffton Banner.
