Mrs. Odell was called to Lima, O„ by the illness of her father. Miss Maude Harper of Willshire, Ohio, went to Fort Wayne for the afternoon. It's awfully hard for the average man to look into a mirror and believe he was once a cute baby. Don't think that spraying alone will insure good fruit, pruning and cultivation are equally essential. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Walters have returned from a several weeks’ visit at their cottage at Rome City. There are some men in the world of so little importance that they are not even asked to sign petitions. Every man remembers that he was once a boy, but most of us have forgotten what kind of boy we were. F. V. Mills, H. S. Michaud, C. D. Teeplc, Huber DeVoss and others attended the Van Wert fair yesterday. Mrs. Jennie Case, of Springfield. O. Mrs. Joe Pierson and children. Margie and Homer, went to Fort Wayne this morning. Bure Green has taken a position as time keeper for the Lake Erie & Western railroad, out of/Portland, for a few days. A great increase of freight is noticed since the recent proposed strike. Mrs. Edith Dicer, who has spent the summer at Fort Wayne and Winona Lake, will leave tomorrow morning for Griffith, where she will visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Reynolds, and her sister, Mrs. E. A. Hoffman.

They will take a side trip before returning home. An ear of Indian corn on display in the window of the Fisher & Harris grocery was raised by Clint Fisher of this city, and is a novelty to many. It is of the shape of the ordinary corn on the cob. but instead of the grains growing on the cob and all enclosed in husks like the other corn, each grain, like that of wheat, is enclosed in a pod or husk of its own. Several Decatur people attending the Van Wert fair yesterday can testify as to the severity of the storm. Water stood on the fair grounds three inches deep, stopped all the races, and forced the visitors to start home early. Other Decatur people attending the Robinson circus there narrowly missed being injured when the big "top” blew down during the windstorm. They were forced to run to the animal tent for shelter, and within a minute were forced outside. The wind lifted the tent poles from the ground and swung them in midair. The show people hustled the spectators out into the storm for their own safety. Six thousand dollars was the estimate placed on the show’s loss by the management. - o— HARTFORD CITY MAN DEAD (United V-tess Service) Indianapolis, Sept. B—(SpecialB—(Special to Daily Democrat) —J.
