Although the orders have been issued at Indianapolis for the companies to go to Ft. Harrison. Captain Dunn has not yet been notified but expects to be today. It is thought the company will leave about Friday. Sergeant Beery today is busy checking up and settling all the company’s accounts preparatory to moving. The tobacco collection is progressing nicely but not as fast as desired. If the company leaves Friday, a great deal more tobacco must be given to make up a good sized collection. If 500 people would give ten cents each, this would buy 500 packages of cigarettes or 1,000 sacks of tobacco. Bring your contribution to the Vance & Hite , store, and do it quick. The rain is still preventing the company from hiking or drilling. Assembly for mess is still being made in the Townsend building on Madison street.

I NOT KNIT AT INSTITUTE. Knitting socks for soldiers, tatting. ( or other war relief work which other women are feverishly pursuing now t days, together with Red Cross and , other philanthropic enterprises, way be all right in the right places, but t they won’t do tor those attending - sessions of the Allen county teach--1 ers’ institute, so County Agent A. J Hutchins, who is substituting fur I County Superintendent D. O. Mc- , Comb, told the assemblage Tuesday t morning at the high school. The su- , perlntendent is ill and unable to attend the sessions of the institute. The women were told that they should not allow anything to go into the school room which would dis- | tract attention from school work and ! that it was not proper that anything | should take place in the metings of the institute, whereupon a small flurry of excitement ensued. One specimen of the work being done was held up for the teachers. to view. Mr. Hutchins' idea was objected to strenuously in some quar- ■ ters as not being in line with the spirit of the day in subordinating ev- , everything else to the importance of war work. —Ft.
