Clip five coupons from any issue of the Daily Democrat and bring them to this office with ninety-eight cents and secure one of the five hundred page ‘'Heart Song” books. The book contains four hundred songs. K yoh need job work or will need it during the next six months of a year our advice to you would be to get it and do it at once for the prices are rising the fastest we have ever known it in a score of years’ experience. The printers and newspaper men are confronted with a serious proposition at the present time owing to the scarcity and enormous price in paper. Within the past month the quotations on the paper market have trippled itself and it is now keeping the printer busy worrying hew to supply his trade.

Ed Zimmerman of Kirkland township was in town arranging for a sale of live stock and farm machinery which he will hold soon, the exact date not being fixed yet.

Representati’-es of the “Community Welfare league” are here today trying to interest local business men in the proposition. They have dates in two hundred Indiana cities. The republicans are already busy to find a successor for the late Senator Shively and politicians started yesterday to beating the bushes for Hays and Watson. Politics is a great old game. The Daily Democrat today was not received by some of the subscribers in the smaller towns. A break-down in the folder attachment of the press last night made us get in too late for the mails. <C. D. Murray will go to Wawasee in a few days to arrange his hotel for the season. It is believed the year will be a better one for summer resorts than was last, which was the worst known in years. We are in receipt of a very interesting paper read by Mrs. Stolte at a recent meeting of the Research club on “Pagantry.” which we will publish in a day or two and which we are sure will interest many of our readers. Fort Wayne is busy with her centenial celebration which will be held in June. They have just eighty two days in which to prepare and they are hustling. The pageant will be a great event and will be participated in by several thousand people. We are informed that a big factory which will employ 150 people to start with and will soon triple would like to locate here. They want ten acres of ground and they ought to have it and the good wishes of every body here if they will do this. Get out your map and study up on Mexico a little. Remember that several thousand American boys are now in that country after the bandit Villa, and it’s surprising how little we know about our neighboring country until we get to looking the map UpTen thousand copies of a booklet tn-' titled “Johnny Appleseed’ are now being printed at this office for the Indiana Apple Show Commission and will be distributed among the school children,Appleseed was a famous chara:ter who distributed apple seeds throughout the middle west a century ago. He died near Fort Wayne and his body lies in an unmarked grave. For several years an lowa farmer has protected his straw stacks with lightning rods in the same manner that ho protects his farm buildings. The uprights on a stack are supported on a footboard which runs the fjj.ll length of the stack, along the ridge. The rods are grounded through gas pipes, the lower ends of which are buried deep in the earth. This apparatus is used from year to year. When a stack is to be removed the cable and rods are rolled up and put aside until a new stack has been built. The device can be quickly and easily installed. Though twelve trees on this farm and'Three barns on neighboring farms have been struck by lightning in recent years, the barns and stacks on this farm have.so fatenjoyed complete immunity from damage by lightning.—From the April Popular Mechanics Magazine.

FROM THE SOUTH (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) on the west coast. We go from here to St. Augustine, which, we happen to remember, is the oldest city in the United States. From here we crossed the bay to the Atlantic ocean. We gathered shells on the beach and watched the tide come in. We took our dinners here on the beach; returned across the bay; visited Fort Morrison. This is where, you remember, In an early day, the Christians were punished. I never will forget this incident, nor place. Here we parted company with a man and wife from Maysville, Ky., who had traveled eight days with us. they going to Palm Beach. Next day, having returned from the bay to Jacksonville, we launched on a boat trip of two hundred miles up the St. ohn's river. Name of boat, City of Jacksonville. The city’s populatio nis 210,000. It is the largest city we have visited. Arrived at Sanford at ll;30. Sanford has about 10,000 people. Here is a great celery and truck-growing country; took the train for Orlando, another nretty little city of 10,000. Remained over night and next day took train for Kissamee. At this place we changed- cars for St. Cloud, Fla. Ipt. Cloud is an old soldiers’ town. We were anxious to hear from home and had all our mail sent here. No doubt the rule would hold good if we traveled for a solid year; we would still be meeting some old Adams county people. Here we met J. D.JHale and wife, which put us much nearer home, as we exchange daily calls, and I do think Mrs. Hale is such a nice and lovable lady. We expect to meet them at Tampa. Fla.,. We next return to Orlando for the fair, lasting from the 15th to 20th. William J. Bryan spoke on preparedness .at one booth here. There was always a crush. This was the Ridgebury booth. The man here told us that that day people from thirty-two different states and three foreign countries had registered. I cannot describe this fair, but must say it was great. The following Saturday we returned to St. Cloud. Here we stayed util the following Wednesday, when we left for Winter Haven. This is a pretty little town of 2,500. It is located right in the midst of a citron grove section. You can see oranges and grape fruit in any direction as far as the eye will reach. We met some friends of Frank’s here who keep a store, by the name name of Wilkinson. On Sunday they stopped for us and we went to church. After dinner we spent the remainder of the day with one Doctor McMurray and wife. Mrs. Wilkinson, the doctor's wife and I went to the Chautauqua in the machine. Then wo met the mon folks and took a drive in the country. When we got back we had twenty minutes to make our train back to Winter Haven. From here we went to Waverly; took a little drive through the country. We went to Iron Mountain Lake. In three miles we passed five lakes. This is a country of lakes. The lowest the thermometer has shown is 36 above; from that up to 86. It is 61 today, but it is cold enough of evenings for a wrap. We leave here the 15th for Tampa. Fla. Will stay there about a week, then we will go to St. Petersburg and from there to the gulf. Hope this finds you all well and happy. Give all inquiring friends our best regards. “ROSEMARY.” . At the Crystal theater, the Quality Pictures Corporation’s next offering on the regular Metro program will be "Rosemary.” a five part feature in which the delightful and popular screen favorite, Marguerite Snows is seen in the starring role. This brilliant artist will be supported by a notable cast, including Paul Gijmore, the well known star of the legitimate stage. "Rosemary” is a picturization of the successful stage play of the same name in which John Drew appeared at the Empire theater in New York. It affords; Miss Snow ample opportunity to display her distinctive talents, and the role carries her through a series of intensely interesting situations. Mr. Gilmore is equally well fitted to his part, a role he played with considerable success in a western and southern starring tour on the t peaking stage. All the scenes are laid in a quaint English countryside, and ihe atmosphere is maifitained in a masterly manner. “Rosemary” will be shown here tonight. n— ABOUT THE SICK. Mrs Charlc Henschen went to Fort Wayne to call on hi r father, Absalom Ginter at the Lutheran hospital. He is getting along nicely.
