' Mrs. M. L. Goff went to Portland for a visit. Dan Sprang went to Fort Wayne this morning on business. Mrs. Jeff Bryson, ot Portland., was a business visitor here today. Mrs. J. E. Ixouden and Mrs. L. L. itupel, ot Monroe, were shopi*crs hero today. | i Guy Brown and family ar moving in to the W. H. Myers property, corner of Third and Johns street. Mrs. G .E. Mount and son, Marker, have returned from a month’s visit with relatives in Indianapolis. Mr. Wilson, the Delco num. and family, are moving into the Bell property vacated by H. L. Merry and family who are moving to the E. Woods proi>erty on West Monroe street. A list of subjects suggestive to the study of the war by women’s clubs has been prepared in pamphlet forms by tlie department of education of the woman’s committee of the State Council of Defense, Katherine Merrill Graydon, chairman. Under each of the subjects suggested is a list of ref'-i---cnees to books and articles from which material on the subject may Im obtained. The book also contains a number of striking quotations from . commentaries on the war. To conserve his time a man. whore monthly duty it is to sign 100,OIK' salary cheeks for a railway company, employs a multiple penholder that permits his signature to be written five times in one operation. The apparatus, which Is shown in the May Ponuiar Mechanics magazine, differs from some others in that the fountain pens are clamped to a pivoted rack that is mounted in a portable box resmbling a suitcase. The cover, when opened flat on the desk top, holds a frame in which the vouchers are placed for signing. 1 The following letter lias been sent to the Division on Women's War Work as indicative of the spirit of the women of the west. The writer states that her husband wil not go to , war. and is using her as his claim for exemption. She says: “I want to leave and train for some branch pf the service. I’d like to learn wireless or get into the mail service or drive an ambulance of some sort. You know that I can slide a Ford over this country as speedily as an old tinier. I'll dig trenches, postholes. or anything else to get in the . front lines. I’m some walker now since my surveying and I always could lug a gun. I would do anything . you suggest that would give me a 1 chance to g oto France and wear a uniform!” ! i I Plans of the German imperial Sugar Distributing Go., whereby that concern is said to contemplate acquiring a complete monopoly over the distribution apd production of sugar in Germany, . have been attacked in the columns of the Berliner Boersen-Zeitung by a contributor who is evidently a sugar wholesaler. This writer states: “Tlie attempt already made by the company to lower, artificially, the cost of sugar | distribution by cutting out middlemen and by establishing minimum requisition prices lias practically driven many wholesalers out of business. It will not be an easy thing for these ; concerns to resume business when the war measures have been withdrawn, and Grrmany will be left crippled as respects her sugar-export trade. The Bureau for the Re-education of War Cripples is a part of the civil affairs department of the American Red Cross in Paris. “At its head,” reports the Paris bureau of the Red Cross, "is Miss Grace Harper, formerly director of the social service work at the Massachusetts Genera! Hospital in Boston. Miss Harper has studied seven of the nine big schools wl/erc France prepares her ’mutilcs’ to resume civil life as wage earners. ' In co-operation with the French authorities she is planning a school to ( train war cripples who were farmers ’ before they shouldered arms to op-' ■ crate farm motor machinery (which France is learning to use as never before) and to tend chickens aud rabbits and the larger live stock. This fold the French schools have comparatively neglected.” There is a woman ill New York who teaches other women things about business. Many women come to her with their troubles. In the April Amer i lean magazine a writer tells how, once, one woman came to this woman J ! and said: “My husband is a Wall 1 street man. A few nights ago some, friends were at the house and they were talking about the market with him. I asked a very foolish question.' and although the men tried to conti'M their mirth 1 could see how embarrassed and disgusted ray husband was at nly ignorance. I realized then how little 1 knew alanit his business and that I was really not his chum and partner but merely his housekeeper. It's humllitating and degrading, and with your help I'm going to remedy the situation as soon as possible.'" I

' Fire damaged the roof of the United Brethren church at (Tahsvillo Sunday morning. It was during tint Sunday school hour that sparks from the flue caught the shingles tiii.lt 'soon a blaze was fanned. Sunday, ri hod pupils formed a bucket brigade | and extinguished the blaze only after one third of the roof had been dam-aged.--Bluffton Banner. A noiseless water-supply pump o’ small capacity is described and illustrated in the May Popular Mechanic s; magazine. At a distance of 10 ft., it is claimed, the only sound to be ; heard is the hum of the motor, 't. operates at a speed of 500 revolutions n minute and therefore c«n be belt-' driven. The pump is supplied v ith ar,. air cock and is used with either openj or pressure-tank systems. Smokers will lie interested iu a new pipe, illustrated in the May Popular Mechanics magazine, which is design ed on the principle of a furnace or. stove—that is, the tobacco is burned i from tlie bottom up. Th? top of tho > bowl is screened and capped, while: the bottom is elosed by a pivoted and ' perforated slab. The air passage ex-1 tends up the wall of the bowl to the ! top. , Tito nicklcs and dimes are again plunking on the counter at Schwand-I erville, for Schwandcrvillc is running again. It is not the old-time Schwand-j erville of two weeks ago. for the| stimulants are lacking. Instead, soft' drinks are on sale, and all the eld toper can do now is to blew the' suds off the soda lop and dream dreams of former days when the stuff had some kick in It. —Bluffton Banner. i Many women of the city, and elsewhere in this part of the state, are bemoaning the fate of their rembler roses and other shrubbery, which has been frozen during the past severely cold weather. When the rambler’s failed to leaf out. it became known that the vines had been killed. Many however, are beginning to sprout out from the bottoms, showing that the roots are safe, but the oug vines, many the growth of ten years or more, are dead. 1 Irving Bacbeller, tiic author of Eiien Holden, lecturer, and well-known! | writer, has written a personal article] fcr the April American magazine in which he says: “I 1 ity the man who has no failures to hik credit, whose way has been smooth and | rosperous from lieginning to end. because such a man is likely to be riding to the only tragic failure there is—that of life it-' self. The thing that most often tends! to poverty is the thing we call success. If one's failures have been lioncstlv achieved by hard and long continued effort, they become highly useful and convincing.” ' No in».c pleasing tic. ! tnl the Bluffton postoffice than the order! this morning stating 'hat beginning today Nos. 5 and G the trains reinstalled on the time card of the Cover Leaf railroad, would carry mail. Tho news last week that those' I two trains would not carry mail, was! rather dishcartoning to the towns' along tho line, but this now order brings smiles. Craigville is still un-' protected as far as .receiving Buffton I evening paper:.. The train easthound arrives here before the papers go to press.- Bluffton Banner. ... _
