The Rockville Tribune is considerably concerned because of the Indianapolis News, in telling its readers about the arrest of the mayor and prosecutor in Muncie lays stress on the fact that the mayor is a democrat and the prosecutor's politics—he being a republican—lS not mentioned. This is the same old dirty game that has been played for years, The Tribune does not khow possibly that there are other reasons why the Indianapolis News does not mention Mr. Murphy, the prosecutor's politics. He was a discovery of our Indianapolis contemporary and was and frequently commended to the people as a “reform” something or other.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Lew Ellingham, of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette has been a popular man with the democratic editors of the state for many years, but he was never more so than yesterday when the mid-summer meeting was voted a huge success and the greater part ot the credit, it was admitted, belonged to Lew. He was the general manager of all events and the JournalGazette was the host at the Country club dinner as well as at yesterday’s luncheon. That they did it perfect ly and that the meeting was as good as it could be made considering the weather, was the opinion of every person attending. Jack Dempsey is now the world champion and big Jess Willard is unpopular even with those who thought him invincible. It's the way of the world. When you're up. you have friends and when youre down, they knew you would fall. Those who paid fifty or sixty dollars for a seat and stood a 120 degree heat for sevetal hours to see the bruisers are no 1 doubt disgusted with the sport to- J day; more so if they had a wager on (

Jess. The way to get a county nurse and a hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis is for the public to urge it. Secretary Daniels said yesterday that the time is approaching when a hospital will be just as important as a school house and will be provided in every section and maintained in the same way. The arrangement of Governor Goodrich and those connected with him in a business way, by Fred Van Nuys, state chairman, made even those who thought they knew something about what was going on, gasp with surpurise. The record, when finished, will be interesting, to say the least.

The Daily Democrat published an extra yesterday giving the first stoiy of the Toledo fight and had it on the street a short time after the big mill ended. The special was not published for profit but to provide the news demanded by the public a duty we feel we owe to the community.

ENJOYING CENTENARY J Martin Beery received a letter from his son-in-law, Charles Colter, telling of their delightful stay at Columbus,' O. where they are attending the M. J E centenary exhibit. He said that if they staid six weeks they would not be able to see all of the large display. He said that the day the letter was written, they expected to go to see “Africa" and “India." , OBITUARY Rev. Joseph Eli Stoops was born. I a few miles east of Decatur, Indiana, December 23, 1851. When old enough he attended the public schools in the country and acquired a fair education and later attended a normal school and fitted himself for teaching, which profession he followed. ’ but a short time. When but a lad, 11 prior to his conversion, he frequent- ( ly went into the woods and was giv-' •> en to preaching Gospel sermons at', the j3ge of 12 years, and it seemed j that he felt the call to preach before, 1 he had a change of heart which came 1 in is 16th year at the old Salem i curch a few miles east of Decatur, 1 ( which positive evidence gave him ] boldness in his work of the Gospel ( ministry in after years. He received j his license as preacher on probation ( at the conference session in the : spring of 1885 and elder in 1837, serving in the active ranks of the ( ministry for a period of 21 years and i ( only on account of failing health was j he obliged to take a local relation *, at the close of his ministry here in ', Van Wert in the year 1906 and since', that time has been suffering bodily , affliction more or less, losing his , strength until he became helpless and i finally answered the summons to de- | part this life for that to come. His ■ active ministry was spent upon the , following fields: Defiance Circuit in : the year 1883, Waterloo 1884-1885; *s Decatur. 1886. 188 s, 1888; Wolcottville. 1889; Urbana. 1895, 1896; Portland. 1897. 1898; Markle. 1901; New Paris. 1902, 1903; and Van Wert. 1904. 1905. 1906. He also served as missionary to Oregon and Washington. two years in each place, and was ' a leader of the dry forces in connec- 1 tion with the Anti-Saloon league of 1 Indiana for two years with head- 1 quarters at Indianapolis. When in the west he met with an accident 1 which, no doubt, had much to do with his long years of bodily suffering. He was very positive in bis preaching as well as logical and.' forceful, an da staunch advocate of the temperance movement which he 1 lived to see triumph in this country. ' In the revival effort he was a fearless and tireless worker, and usually ■ had good results, one of his earlier 1 converts, he chose to preach his fu- 1 1 neral sermon. Many were they whom • he caused to turn toward the Lord, and many will rise some day and call him blessed. During the last 13 years he suffer- 1 ed ts great deal but bore up under it all with a gentle spirit without a 1 word of criticism of any kind, being c trstful and resigned to the will of 3 Him who doeth all things well. His * sucerings came to an end June 21. * 1919 in his 68th year. He was united ' in holy matrimony at the home of . . . . .. e

j Dimiel Durr in Adams county,lndiana, March 24. 1879 with Sarah J. Teeple who shared with him the p joys and sorrows of an itierant 3 preacher's life during his entire min--3 istry. His faithful companion died, however, in the year 1911 after he ■ had taken a local relation relative to f church work. Four children blest > . their home, one of whom. (Carrie),' i preceded him in death. December 24. 1 1906. i The surviving children are: Mrs. 1 Della Richey, whose anxiety for her > father’s welfare was more than her ; physical strength would endure. t|jus , being deprived of ministering to the . needs of her father to the fullest extent of her affections Carl E. Stoors of the Philippines and Charles E of Huntington. Indiana, being absent from home most all the time, did what they could to provide for the ■ comfort and welfare of the father du- , ring the many years of his acection. ’ An only sister survives in the pehson j of Mrs. Harriet D.

could say: 1 have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth I there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all the malso that love his appearing May He Rest In Peace!

WAS GREAT WEEK I At Winona Lake for the Presbyterian Endeavor Conference THE LOCAL SOCIETY Credited With Largest Delegation—Members to Give Report. Some of the delegates sent from the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor ' society will give brief descriptions and reports of the Presbyterian Young People's Conference, held this ! week at Winona Lake, at the regular meeting tomorrow evening. Young people were present from four states, and made one of the largest conferences of the kind ever held. The local society, with nine delegates and two visitors, is credited with the largest delegation from any one so,ciety. I About six of the delegates will receive certificates showing the good quality of the work they accomplish- ' ed. All the young people are enthusI iastic about the conference. Bob Atz went intending to stay two days, but , will be there until Saturday night, , while Naomi Mayer and Alta Teeple I will remain over until Monday. The rest of the delegation returned today. I Every member should be present ,tomorrow night to hear the reports, yells, etc., and catch the pep ot the others. Ruth Frisiriger will lead and ! Mr. ami Mrs. E. D. Engeler will sing a duet. TO HELP SAVE GRAIN CROP (United Press Service) Washington, July 4. —The Department of Agriculture has started a campaign against the careless threshermen. It wants only “clean straw ricks” left of the greatest grain crop the nation ever has known, ax-cording to a statement made public today. So the threshermen will be aided by the government to develop efficiency and avoid loss in separating the wheat from the chaff. ' Records of the department reveal startling losses of grain • ‘hrough avoidable waste of the threshermen." Tests made in “just ordinary” crop years show that an average of 25,000,000 to 27,000.000 bushels is thus thrown away. What it will be this year, unless the waste is eliminated, the department believed would be worth much more than the campaign of education would cost the government. In Minnesota, where the department made comprehensive tests covering 6.500 threshing machines last year, it was found that more than 25 per cent, of machines wasted an average of 15 bushels of grain a day each This loss, according to the figures, was largely through machines being out of repay; or through lack

of adjustment. Some of the Minnesota threshers wasted as much as 50 bushels per day of the threshing season. The daily average for the 6.500 machines according to the rec ords was: wheat 469 bushels * and oats. 9.1 bushels per machine. j THE FOURTH WAS QUIET I | The Fourth in D-.catur broke two records. It was the hottest and the quietest on record. Thoes who remained at home spent the day in trying to keep coo! while tho children used sparklers or baby firecrackers to celebrate the glorious annivers?ry. The local stores sold out the stock of firework early in the day and as a consequence there was not much doing. Many from here attended the Berne picnic or went to some other place to celebrate. PICNIC WAS A SUCCESS x The Sunday schools of the county were well represented at the union Sunday school picnic held at the Lehman g-jve at Berne yesterday. An all-day pregram of addresses and amusements of various kind was in order and a very fine time is reported by all. Many took their dinners and 1 suppers and spent the entire day, I meeting relatives and friends from j other parts of the county or state and I enjoying a grand reunion. I
