Archbold who made the trip between Fort. Wayne and Auburn yesterday by interurban, tells of some monster snow drifts there. His car passed through tw’o cuts in winch one could not see the top of the snow , banks from the car windows. Between ■ here and Fort Wayne are several ' drifts where the tops come to the car windows. There’s a mail famine in Berne. The Berne Witness says: “Mail in Berne has been pretty scarce of late. With two of the regular mail trains off the schedule, and then the night trains annulled two nights in succession. and one of the afternoon trains not bringing any first-class mail at all. the correspondence of some of the firms in town has been pretty bad’y shaken.”

Mrs. Martin Aumanu, of near St. Johns, was shopping here yesterday. The semester examinations are on this week and the youngsters are digging in. Mrs. Ed Philips left yesterday afternoon for Pierceton for a visit with her husband who is employed there. Miss Mary Frisinger went to Alexandria yesterday tor an over Sunday visit before returning to the state university.

France Confer left over the Clover Leaf at noon for Indianapolis where he will spend Sunday and then proceed to Bloomington to reenter school He has been accepted in the army after passing six examinations and expects a call within the next few months. Frank Hower, better known as “Red’ who was rejected in the physical examination after his volunteering for membership in Company A. and who later was called in the draft at Hunting ton, was also rejected there in the examination, on the grounds of having a bad heart. Because of the great number of salmon nets spread in the Columbia river and in the sea near its mouth, boats plying those waters are provided with propeller and rudder shields. These enable the boats to run over a net with out becoming entangled. The device is illustrated in the February Popular Mechanics magazine. We have had numerous complaints about the mail service lately but there seems to be no way of improving it at present. The bad roads coupled with the tact that, so many trains have been taken off makes it impossible to guarantee delivery of the mail. Just as soon as conditions become normal this will no doubt be remedied. Contending that it sounds unpatriotic to have German measles, the soldiers at the cantonment at Camp Dix, N. J., who are suffering from the much abused malady, have started a movement to change the name of the disease to “Liberty measles.” Camp surwho have heard the gibes and jokes aimed at their patients are so sympathetic, it was said, they might make an appeal to Washington to have a new brand of measles officially designated. President Olmsted of the Dallas Rotary club writes: “The Rotary club of Dallas stands ready to aid in ever)' way possible to make the War-Savings campaign a decided success. 1 think I can go a little further and assure you of the support of 95 per cent of our citizens in this great work. We have made a house to house canvass in Dallas and I believe we did not miss a one. It’s doing us as much good in a ‘Get Together’ way as it is doing our government in securing the funds.” John Henry Hogg has announced that a fine full-blooded Big Type Poland China gilt will be offered at auction, for the benefit of the Wells county Red Cross, at his public sale, next Tuesday, two miles went and two miles north of Bluffton. The bidding for this Red Cross benefit porker should be lively and it is expected that site will bring a good figure. It is Mr. Hogg’s purpose to turn the ceeds of the sale from the animal tile Red Cross coffers for immediate use. The gilt weighs about 350 pounds —Bluffton Banner. On Feb. 1. the .Young Men’s Christian Association had sent 154 American women to France to engage actively in Y. M. C. A. work for the soldiers in Pershing's expeditionary forces, according to an official announcement jus! received here. In ad- '. dition to serving Uncle Sam’s soldiers ! in their social recreational, education|al and religious needs while abroad, 'the Army Y. M. C. A. through the services of these women, is actually mothering the American troops and providing for them the real atmosphere of “home*' which they so much need and appreciate.

MINER. ■ ' i ... —o OBITUARY. 1 James Rupel. son of James and i Mary Potter Rupel. was born September 30. 1858. and passed away January 5, 1918, aged sixty years, ■ three months and five days. Jimmie’s , entire life was spent in Jay county. At the age of eighteen he began teaching in the public schools, which ' he did for twelve years, at the same ' time attending to the farm. He was married May 3, 1888. to Audrie J. Strait, daughter of William and ' Eliza Strait. To this union were born • four children: Della E„ wife of Maurice Elberson, of Portland; Naomi 8., wife of Augustus Ford, also of Port- ' land; Ward and Ruth, at home. For a number of years be served as county commissioner. Becoming interested in the Farmers & Merchants' bank at Bryant, he was chosen jts president, which position he held for several years, resigning because of failing health. Three years ago he organized the People’s Loan & Trust company at Decatur, Ind. He was chosen Its president, which position he also resigned because of ill health. His life was one of great activity, full of higli hope and ambition. He went about everything he did so cheerfully. always looking on the bright side of everything. When it became evident that lie was failing in health lie still filled his place in the bank, and went daily about his work, never complaining, misleading his friends and loved ones as so his real condition. • He finally was persuaded to give up his active life and take treatment, which he did. and for a time semed to improve. He left his home for San Antonio, Texas. Dec. 3 He insisted on making the trip alone, but his son. Ward, acconipanied him as far as St. Louis, leaving him in good spirits and with the same sunny smile, assuring his son that he felt much better. He arrived at San Antonio Dec. 5. He met and made many friends in the short time that he was there. When it became known that he must leave hi., hotel and go to the hospital he bid a cheerful good-bye to those about him and said he would see them again soon. The telegram received by the folks at home told them of his being at the hospital, but said lie was not serious. A telegram was sent to Green Crowell and Ray Haffner to get the best nurse and medical aid obtainable, which* was done. The nurse said that in all her experience she had never seen so peaceful a death. Without a gasp, without a move, the precious soul took its flight to be with the God who gave it, and to be with the loved ones waiting there. He united many years ago with the M. E .church at Oakland which membership lie held at the time of his death. He was a great Bible reader, and when his wife was packing his trunk for him to leave for the sunny south be asked that she nut her pielure in Hie Bible mi<l tmt it in his trunk. He was a good man. a faithful husband, and no family of children ever had a more loving, kind, and indulgent father than they. The tired body is at rest, the loving hands have done all for us they can, and in depest sorrow, and broken hearts we say goodbye loved husband. and kind, loving father. We laid his away 'midst an awful snow storm, but some sweet day we’ll meet thee, dear one, where no storm clouds arise, in that lovely land of unclouded day. Teach us to say, though blinding teardrops hide the sun. Not our will, hut Thine. O Holy Fa- , ther. Thine be done. Tile family w|shAs to especially thank the friends and neighbors for their kindness in their sad hour of sorrow, and to all for the beautiful floral gifts. Your kindness will ever be remembered by us all. THE FAMILY. — o That foreign women in thq United States arc volunteering to work for Uncle Sam and the Allies is evident from the registration taken by the Woman's Committee of the Council ol National Defense. There have been many reports of Italian women doing Red Cross work or buying Liberty ' bonds. Polish women, Russians, Por- ' tuguese, and Japanese offer all sorts l of service. The Chinese were a feature in Chicago’s registration. But . the last report from the states is ]>os- . sibly the most striking of all..for in J Idaho. Basques are volunteers. “There • 'never was such a test of our melting •'pot as this which is on us now,” says 1 the Wontan’s Committee, “and the re.'sponse of the many aliens who are s'with us has been, as touching as it i.-> . magnificent."
